I could see ARTPOP opening with 400+ I would be very surprised if she opened with less. If the lead single smashes the way it should, then I expect it to be a little bit more than 500k.
I just want longevity. The Fame/The Fame Monster Deluxe seem to chart 'eternally,' whereas BTW was here for a minute and left. Sure, BTW dealt some damage (in numbers), but it couldn't stick around.
Hoping ARTPOP can be more than that. I'm guessing Gaga/Interscope will pull out all the stops to prevent this.
I'm ready for Gaga to remind people who she is
