You don't make $70 million from 33 dates on a tour without a huge following

but btw came off the fame hype. GaGa is known for her theatrics and great shows, so naturally she will
still be a succesful touring artist(for now). but look at madonna still selling out tours but her last few albums have bombed.

Being a massive touring act doesn't mean that you will automatically have a huge selling album, though. Madonna is proof of that. She grosses $4-5 million dollars a date at sold out shows, yet can't even sell 1.5 million albums of MDNA. Touring does not extend to record sales. There are acts that could book tons of dates for a tour but probably couldn't sell x amount of album/record sales.

Any girl saying less than 500k is a mess and pressed.

[Haus]

700k at least. She has enough fans to cover that, plus if the lead single is amazing and this 'artpop' sound is good, the public will fall back in love with her and buy the album

[Retro]

People talking about Madonna's numbers, do remember her career is 30 years old now and a looottt of people dislike the album.

[DvnR]

If I had to make a shot in the dark, 700k. But only cause I think the first single is gonna be HUGE this time, bigger than Born This Way. Especially if it matches the concept that is speculated to be behind the title ARTPOP.

Yeah, but y'all seem to forget that Madonna's come from a long career. Gaga still has some hype left and people over exaggerate when they say the Born This Way era did "damage" or "killed her". It might have hurt her in a sense but it did not chew her up and spit her out.

Gaga's not going to see the same opening numbers as Born This Way but her next album is going to see success and her huge fan base is going to help her out. I can't at y'all contradicting yourselves. Y'all are the first to complain that there are too many Monsters on ATRL and now Gaga apparently doesn't have a huge following.

500-600k is my prediction. She'll have the advantage of actually being active in the country, too. Not sure about WW.

having a huge following on ATRL is not the same as having a huge following outside of ATRL. look at adele and taylor swift, they can sell millions of albums but you would hardly be able to tell they had fans judging by ATRL.

Her first single likely won't be bigger than Born This Way, it's not going to get those massive airplay numbers and it likely won't sell as much as BTW has or lead the Hot 100 as long as BTW did. The monsters are setting themselves up for another fall.

[Squall]

500k+ I think.

[kyquanzo]

why not 1 million like BTW?

600K without the promotion, +400K sold at 99c. She sold 1 million.

I estimate >300,000 <1,000,000

That's not what I meant. 440k from amazon, i know that info.
I meant "We don't know what the number would be like if Amazon discount didn't happen. Would it stay at 650k? Would it go to 750k?"

How could you know? You're like the rest of us, you don't even know how the lead single will sound.
