Everyone on here is complaining over nothing, your either against GaGa, or with GaGa, we shouldn't be comparing sales, we should be happy for everyone :)
I love beyonce (: oh and if your on hear saying how GAGA didn't due good this year and she didn't meet your standards she did get the highest debut from a women this year (:
I love Beyoncé, she's a true artist and this album is her vision and is so personal. I respect her and love what she's doing. Both, she and Gaga are trying to bring back the way things were before, when listening to a song was an experience and not just downloading a song and listening to it alone with your headphones. I'm not a Little Monster for album sales, I bought my copies of ARTPOP (digital and deluxe) but I don't get upset if Gaga is not #1, I love it when she si though.
do you know the meaning of the word SURPRISE?
no matter whats… surprise things always get people curiosity!!!!
and sooooo far, what Im seeing is that people are not liking the new B. album. It reached this number in 24h and it will stop there. Be sure! The albums is juts terrible. Far from what beyonce can do!
But you see, gaga's music recently have been in a way alienating people. She needs a killer catchy record to win everyone's heart again. ARTPOP is too different for the public to be honest.
