Hahahahaha, @STOP THE DRAMA START THE MUSIC and Gaga fans are trying to blame that floppy disc on the economy. When Em, JT, 1D and Jay Z sold over 500K this year FULL PRICE. Either the people are into your music or they're not. Stop it, Gaga flopped. And like @CITI said, Britney isn't their peers, same with Beyonce. Brit peers were Xtina and Jessica Simpson and Bey's were Ashanti and maybe A Keys (although she's doing fine.)
