So 3/4 of its sales came from the US and you are saying it is not local?

Not only did she best a personal stat, she has broken the record for most first-week sales on iTunes in the United States with 617,000 in sales. She also sold an unprecedented 828,773 copies of her album worldwide, according to her label Columbia.

the main word in the sentence is worldwide.local and worldwide are 2 completely different things.

It depends, 3/4 US is still relatively high. I'm pretty sure TFM for example has most of its sales from outside the US.

BEYONCE had about the same total global sales excluding the US as 4 which was seen as an underperformance.

No, it depends on what artist we're talking about of course, but current big scene of pop music isn't mainly influenced by Lady Gaga. they are mainly influenced by legends such as Lana Del Rey, Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Frank Ocean, Bowie, Kanye, etc. We have past the time of your faves. Time is fast, and it has been years. Lady Gaga isn't currently influencing anyone with “The Fame Monster”. Of course she had a huge impact in the past, and influenced many, but not now.

What is this bs? There are sooo many current artists listing Gaga as their influence, Lil Nas X, Doja and Bad Bunny just to name a few

Are those the biggest pop artists in the scene right now? And literally where can we see Bad Bunny got influenced from Gaga? Because we can't hear it on the music, we can't see it on the looks, literally the only time he talked about her was him saying he was listening to Chromatica (beyond mid album) to feel happy. :deadbanana4:

 

Since you're a Swiftie I thought you would've known better. Isn't Taylor and The Weeknd both are like the biggest and most popular pop artists right now? Do you think she's influenced more by Lana Del Rey while making Folklore/Evermore/Midnights etc, or by “The Fame Monster”? :toofunny3:

so ? :rip: 

 

how is Gaga selling more in the EU than in the US any better or more impressive than Beyoncé selling more in the US than in the EU ?

 

as long as they are selling somewhere they are successful, who cares where they do it

I think it has a bigger impact and legacy than any of the albums listed. 

Not to take away anything from TFM but there's no TFM without Ray of Light.

I love Anti but it does not belong here

2 of these are not like the others.  :deadbanana2:

The album u posted are not in the same category. I would live Ray of Light and The Velvet Rope because they both go into deep philosophical ideas.

 

Anti is a producers album and Rihanna has little to do with it, like all her albums.

 

The self titled is not deep. Limonade would be more fitting.

 

The Fame Monster is not better than The Fame. And The Fame is a great pop album about the pop world with some philosophical questions on it. But it is not on the life questioning level Madonnas or Janets. I would put him 2gether with Blackout that is another pop masterpiece with some deep cuts about the pop world.

The Fame Monster is literally the defining album of the late 00s. She marked the shift from the Timbaland esque production of the mid 00s to the europop domination of RedOne - Calvin Harris type productions that defined almost every pop song of that era.

 

Confidently its bigger than BEYONCE, Ray of Light and ANTI, the numbers, acclaim and legacy speak for itself. 

 

I love Bey and Madge but its an insult to peak Gaga to have her defining era be compared to albums that haven't even sold close to what she made that cycle. 

 

Like a Virgin and IASF are closer comparisons in my opinion.

So it is one album now? Because many times I see her fans calling them two separate albums, when they want to show her numbers downfall  look better. And no it is not.

it kinda ends most of these :rip:

It’s a great project but definitely not in the same league as ROL or TVR. 

Posted

It’s better than all of them

Posted

Are we including 2 albums in one again :bibliahh:

Impact wise? Easily.

 

It has classic singles, inspired the Europop/EDM wave of the U.S.(even according to actual EDM producers like Calvin Harris), is one of the longest charting albums in the electronic charts, and is globally revered. 

 

If you asked this about BTW, there'd be more of debate. But Fame Monster definitely is on par with those albums and is a classic regardless of how much this forum likes to downplay Gaga fsr.

To be fair, sales don't automatically define quality.

 

I Am Sasha Fierce is Beyonce's biggest album globally but it's widely considered Bey's worst album. 

 

I do agree that Fame Monster is a classic but not necessarily due to being bigger.
