Overall units? You forgot to include the most important stat 

[Blue Monday]

Do people actually enjoy Rare or do they just say they do because Selena refuses to give them another album

[Sunset]

Wtf is Rare?

 

Chromatica was a worldwide phenomenon.

[By the Water]

Rare has more streams but Chromatica sold more jockstraps. It's a tie, I guess

[Big Bad Wolf]

Chromatica easily. Though, LYTLM felt bigger than the entire era....

Chromatica is ahead, but not by a lot. Rare is currently outstreaming and moving more daily units. 

 

I believe it has been doing so for well over a year now.

Looks like you answered your own question here. Chromatica wins even before we take into account the stadium tour or YEARS of Gaga LARPing as a geriatric woman.

[Cheers]

Chromatica for now but Rare is obvi going to overtake it

 

 

[EDEJtheArtist]

I can’t with people thinking Rare is better then Chromatica… Rare is literally the weakest MPG album of the 2020’s

Please elaborate on how exactly Chromatica was a global phenomenon when it's struggling to pull 600k daily streams (less than Smile by Katy Perry) despite guest features from A listers? Rare's lead single alone is nearly outstreaming the entirety of Chromatica

[cyberpunkgoth]

chromatica in both

please

I'm sorry but this is the definition of frontloaded, How can a number one album and song make those kind of streams?

The A list on that album is Gaga herself. She never cared about the album while katy was promoting hers everywhere. Chromatica is doing bad numbers now and only the haters care. 

[Axelios]

Rare is bigger. Chromatica numbers are inflated by bundles and jockstraps but the GP interest is clearly no there compared to Rare

[Ron Ng]

Chromatica is one of the worst pop albums in history, but Rare is even worse.

[B-Luke]

Chromatica sweetie  Rare only had like two notable moments: the release of LYTLM and its, well, "performance"

[differentkindahigh]

Never even heard of Rare

[She-Rah]

Chromatica has “Alice” and “911” which are amazing bops so I prefer it over rare. 
 

 

Chromatica current streaming numbers are abysmal despite having a #1 single I’m not sure why the album just doesn’t click with the GP I guess it’s not the sound they want from Gaga 

 

No shade to Selena but she isn’t the type of artist I would listen to an entire album. She is better at releasing quick little singles cuz she has many bops.
