It may have taken it longer than her fans would have liked, but it would appear Lana Del Rey‘s ‘Born to Die‘ debut now stands no more than 4,000 units from hitting the 1 million units sold mark in the USA!
Want the 411 on her impending Platinum glory?
Come with us…
Opening with 77,000 units in the US, Lana’s ‘Born’ has spent the last two years gliding towards the 1 million milestone and now has the enviable prize in her sights, after its sales twirled past the 996,000 units mark last week.
As it stands, the LP is now placed just 4,000 copies away from reaching the spot, looking on as Lorde‘s ‘Pure Heroine‘ touches down at global sales of 2,021,000 copies and Katy Perry‘s ‘Prism’ sings to the merry tune of 2,615,000 units!
Elsewhere, last week brought with it 2,000 more units moved by Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP‘, placing it at #156 on the ‘Billboard 200′ and pushing its US sales to 677,000!
Expected to benefit from the release of its second supporting music video, ‘POP’ joins ‘Born’ on its quest for Platinum ground, with 323,000 copies to sell before it arrives there.
Meanwhile, on a singles tip, last week saw Iggy Azalea‘s ‘Fancy’ slip eight spots to claim the #96 spots on the ‘Hot 100’ while Ciara‘s ‘Body Party’ continues on its journey to reach the ‘Platinum promised land’, before the release of her sixth studio album and first baby with ‘Honest’ performer Future.
I thought her career in the US ended after SNL?
It’s almost impossible for most artists to even go gold after only debuting with only 77K. Congrats queen of longevity.
Congratulations to your fav sis i mean it took forever but hey atleast she got it #Respect
Aw thanks.
You always rep her, true fan. It shows that even if your first week sales is low, you can still go plat by supporting your album, rather it’s a year or 2.
Thanks 🙂
I always knew her time in America would come, lol. I think Young & Beautiful was the real turning point tbh.
The Great Gatsby film really helped your girl out! With all the Oscar buzz that film garnered it really gave her a boost here in the US for being featured song in the film….
Im glad that movie won a few Oscars for the costumes… That was my favorite movie last year and favorite time in Fashion.. And that Lana song did really play in well with that theme.
So big ups s****!!
ARTPOP sales….pathetic. I guess because Gaga is a pathetic pop star.
😆
600,000 is pathetic? a director, writer, activist, Singer, pianist has 5 grammy’s and 160 million records is pathetic. I guess I would be jealous of that like you hence your comment 🙂
Beyonce didn’t do great with 4 but she sprang back.
ARTFLOP !
Omg the first Lana post in like forever lol this will be messy.
Born To Die >>> Artpoop
Only took her 2 years 😀
Lana and Gaga both STRUGGLE for platinum.
Kinda like how Viley struggles to sell 2 million worldwide with twice as much promo and even more publicity stunts than every other female singer worldwide combined.
Underdogs always prevail !! In terms of longevity anyways. Congrats P!nk & Lana! Hurry with Ultraviolence! I love that woman! Lol
Wait but how is a 2 year old album selling more than a 4th month old album.
Death @ Artpops struggle. Well done Lana. She is natural ART not forced like Flopga.
LOL There is NO hope for GaGa. Selling only 2,000 copies last week? *chuckles* At this rate she’ll get to platinum by this time next year. Which is very sad, considering she went platinum in a week with her last release! LOL With the help of the 99 cent discount, of course! 😀
All of this promotion and she can’t outsell BaddieBey! Congrats Lana! 😉
Let me stop you Hoesie because Miley doesn’t get vomited on like your favs embarrassing label mate.
Death, what does Fadga getting puked on have to do with Lana? The reach. Worry about your fave’s tour struggling to sell out.
To be real Roise put me on to lana…..I see it for Ms.Lana, she is doing her thing.
Yesss Ms. Rosie gurl@Roise
“Lorde‘s ‘Pure Heroine‘ touches down at global sales of 2,021,000 copies”
Congrats but death at 75% of that total coming from the US and four other countries.
Lets be realistic here sis….
She still hit platinum before Lana, and US is the biggest market. so 75% is huge considering every musical artist longs for American relevance. And Lorde just happened to have the right formula for star/selling power in the US.
Dont be a bitter queen.
No T.
Let’s be real here, lorde is slowly fading, only song that clearly has done well is royal. One hit wonder yep.
Wait a minute, hasn’t it been like close to 3 years now and this album is still not platinum? Considering the way Lana fans are out of control, it is pretty embarrassing that Pure Heroine has sold over a million copies in a shorter time span than Born to die.
Considering the way Lana fans brag about her, one would think she was doing some Adele type numbers, instead she is just getting by with barely selling over a million copies after close to 3 years; Lana fans need to explain this.
And it still sold 5 million worldwide.
We always knew the US was her least supportive market, it is not the end-all-be-all. Some artists are successful without a lot of US support. Lana is one of them.
Meanwhile, ask your fellow Borde bandwagon why more 75% of her worldwide sales come from 5 (English speaking) countries.
Looks like Lana will be outselling UNAFLOP in the U.S. soon without a #1.
If anyone should be doing Adele numbers, it’s the one with 13 #1 hits! 😉
And they have both sold more copies than 4 (waits for RnB excuse).
unaflop didn’t outsell 4 in the U.S. with all of that promo and that generic “hit” tsk tsk.
4 was R&B. could your fave do the same? kii I doubt it, she struggles to sell pop albums! 😉 Everyone slays Rihanna in album sales
Una sold more Worldwide; and it’s not Rihanna’s fault Beyonce CANNOT get a hit. Rihanna is too DIVERSE of an artist to release a boring album filler like 4.
Beyonce will never release a song to the quality of no love allowed, cold case love, firebomb, Russian roulette, love without tragedy/mother Mary without stealing from somebody.
Oh I forgot, 4 was such a boring failure that Beyonce is releasing stripper anthems now.
I would expect a Pop album with more WW generic hits to outsell a strictly R&B album with no commercial success. The fact that 4 is not too far behind Unaflop doesn’t make Rihanna’s sales look any better either! LOL
DIL is a hit! What do you mean Beyonce can’t get a hit! #REACH
It’s not Beyonce’s fault that she can take a three year break between each album, and still sale without over-saturating the industry and desperately d*** riding trends for “hits”!
Rihanna could NEVER deliver the musical or VOCAL quality of : Love on Top, Listen, I Care, Resentment, Flaws and All, Dangerously In Love, Ave Maria, BTINH, I Was Here ETC
4 was boring to you because it didn’t consist of lifleless, horrible monotonous vocals hidden behind catch pop beats! Beyonce is superior b****. DEAL!
*catchy
Applauses for Goddess Del Rey, such a gift to the music industry, smart, talented, original and beautiful.
Plays: Never Let Me Go.
Do you have a life outside tgj?????????
And not Artpop selling LESS copies than Pure Heroine, Gang BangerZ, Disneyism, and Bore to death.
She should have started out with G.U.Y slayage instead of the attention seeking antics; I cannot.
Not checking neither, one can’t sing and the other is desperate.
And what talent does Kim Kardashian have?
Spreading legs like butter to bread yeh
Lmao death at Rosie praising a 2 year old album that struggled for platinum im sure Artpop will go platinum before its year anniversary.
& The hive really needs to stfu weren’t yall the same hos clinging to Gaga during born this way era while Beyonce was flopping hard with 4? kiiiiii
Not when it’s only selling 2K a week after 18 weeks.
If G.A.Y. flops it’ll be off the Billboard 200 by at least May.
Lmao sorry sweetie G.U.Y. will not flop d*** its a future top 20 hit. Meanwhile you should be trying to find your favs vocals & stage presence she’s a garbage performer/singer watching Britney is more entertaining then Lana ugly duck lip ass.
LMAO G.A.Y. isn’t even top 100 on US iTunes after over 36 hours. And it’s already getting airplay on both radio and MTV. Stop.
Rosie babe, that 5 million figure was reported by Interscope, the same Interscope that reported Artpop worldwide figures at 2.3 million ( do you believe that?).
We don’t have to go this, we all know the criteria labels use for sales.
Mediatraffic isn’t even that far off from Interscope plus they don’t even count the majority of countries outside of Europe.
I remember when IFPI and MusiCharts clocked them on BTD’s 2012 sales.
Lol, so Artpop has sold 2.3 million then right? IFPI is reporting that.
Media traffic counts 32 countries, not the most reliable but more reliable than others.
Not 156 though.
The only way artpop goes platinum is if she reduces the price to 99c
Remember when 4 struggle for 3 million worldwide?
4 went platinum within 5 months tho. WITHOUT a top ten singles kii. ARtpoop is the struggle baby!
ARTshit won’t even see 4’s WW sales 😉
Artpop is already at 2.3 million worldwide Gaga is not local like Beyonce.
ArtSHIt is not a 2.3 million. Stop with the lies molly
Chartflop is struggling to outsell Borde’s local ass. Stop.
Like how Lana struggle in the US?
Struggling and still 97 spots above Fadga on the Billboard 200.
Chile a mess, But 4 went platinum within 4 to 5 months
Congrats to both. I’ve been getting into Lana lately,she deserves it.
Can someone tell me why a Kim Kardashian stan is trying to talk about talent?
Gaga nooooo! 🙁
lets not babe when roman reloaded still isn’t platinum been stuck at 800k for 2 years now?
LOL really b****? you wish artpop was in the same position as reloaded! artpop will struggle to reach platinum till 2015 deal b****!
Gaga has stayed at 600k for weeks now. She makes the most shittiest pop and is still struggling. I can’t.
FLOPS
How is G.A.Y doing on Itunes?
Artpop is not at 2.3 million WW in sales. It is at 1.7 million.
Yes it has Mother Monster said so.
So using the same source (Interscope) Lana is at 5 million plus. Don’t try it.

Considering the way Lana fans brag about her, one would think she was doing some Adele type numbers, instead she is just getting by with barely selling over a million copies after close to 3 years; Lana fans need to explain this.
Lana is not a commercial artist, her music is not made it for charts, she’s an Indie artist, add that to the lack of support from the US since the SNL fiasco, she didn’t even bothered to promote the album here after that, she focused on Europe mostly after that, like many US musicians from Rock bands to solo artists, Lana has seen herself experiencing more success outside her own country, Americans barely support talented musicians these days so the fact that the album is almost platinum considering the kind of artist she is, says a lot of her power, a testament of her growing fan base. Lorde on the other hand, has a US #1 hit, that helped her album, no f**** given about that ancient looking t***, she’s a one hit wonder, mark my words, the real kiii here is Mainstream artists like Lady Gaga struggling to go platinum in her 3rd album, Lana is winning.
How did I just skip over this post. Piping hot tea right here.
And Team only went top 10 in 7 countries, the US and Canada were the only major ones. Local one hit wonder indeed.
I know 🙂
4 Struggled????? @ Applause…..4 reach platinum status in 6 months without an top ten. Caca is heading towards her 6th month and stuck in the 600s kiiiiiii
I really dont care about what your ghetto ass has to say.
People need to learn the diffrence between shipments and actual sales.
B**** and you need to learn the difference between live and playback #LipSyncYonce
Its hilarious that Rosie thinks Lana is the Queen of Interscope because of one decent selling album Lmao.
Interscope will never give Fadga a big budget again after Chartflop. G.A.Y. will be the last time.
All this era accomplished was persuading Interscope to increase their budget for Ultraviolence, especially since as of late 2012 she is their bestselling female artist worldwide.
Does not change the fact Gaga has not even sold 2 million.
Lmao Lana and Beyonce fans clinging to each other i can’t .
I have s
Born to die has sold 4 mill and shipped 5 million. Just like Artpop has sold 1.7 million and shipped 2.3 million.
If you’re going to shade Gags for 1.7 million, use the same figures for Lana.
*same source
Mediatraffic has Lana at 4.6 million.
And that doesn’t even include the Paradise EP/rerelease.
‘Mother monster’ is coveniently stating how much it shipped. Not sold. She was already clocked for that.
Just like how she supposedly went platinum first week here in Canada when she is barely over 80K.
Even if Gaga did sell 1.7 million she still sold a million elsewhere showing she isn’t local like some artists (Beyonce,Miley, Katy etc)
Beyonce has sold 1.5 Million outside of the U.S. lmao
Katy also sold over a million outside of the US.
Beyonce has sold over a million elsewhere so whats your point?
And not a Rihanna stan coming for Beyonces music when her latest album is more acclaimed than Riherpes entire discography.
85 metacritic>>>> Your opinion.
Bye Rosie!!! Gaga will always have a bigger budget then Lana you really letting one album hype yourself up when you don’t know how the 2nd album will do Lana can bearly sell 77k first week :(. When Lana makes the culture impact that Gaga has made then get back at me.
And Fadga’s cultural impact is stuck in 2012, just like her relevancy.
Why wouldn’t Interscope more money to Lana? They lost millions on Chartflop and barely promoted Lana yet she still sold 4.6-5 million. Chartflop won’t come close to 3 million.
Applause to me & @Lovebird for dragging these h***.
Gaga> Your Fav
Im going to drink champagne for Body Party when it hits Platinum!
And they said you weren’t relevant….. #TheNerve
Congrats Ci
My dear slay hive, you have a right to remain pressed.
Whilst your bragging about an album that is surviving off of a gimmick, my fav is about to receive another icon award in the realm of fashion (to add to her music icon award collection) and will be playing STADIUMS all over America.
You can BS all you want about Rihanna selling albums but remember that whilst 4 was struggling for 2 years to sell 2.8 million; Rihanna had sold a cumulative total of 6.9 million albums in the same period and earned herself 13 #1s.
You can forever remain pressed for there’s no stopping the Megaforce that is Rihanna Fenty.
LOL baby I’m NEVER pressed. I can could never be pressed while my fave released an album with NO prior promo, NO lead single, NO album release date, No ex-boyfriend controversy and STILL slays!
Alot of these artists could have 50 #1 hits and couldn’t pull off what KING Bey did! It’s far from a “gimmick”. More like a risk. A risk that is setting a trend in the industry!
IDGF about a made-up NONFACTOR fashion award that should really be given to her stylists! I’m here for the music and Beyonce will always be superior to her!!
LOL @ you bragging about that 6.9 Million when 4 is @ 3million WW and this new ablum is at 3 Million (ongoing), bringing her total to 6 Million with TWO albums. the latter just being released in Decemer! You just proved your point on how basic Rihanna is, even with her multiple albums!!
Beyonce out here breaking album and touring records and you’re bragging about a f***** “fashion” award! LOL I”M DONE!!!
Baby you’re always pressed and you will forever remain pressed whilst Rihanna continues slaying your favorite like she effortlessly has been since 2007.
Honey if I’m pressed you are PRESSED to the 1000th power. You prove that every time you clock in on ALL of Beyonce’s post! 😉 LOL
5 albums- 15 Million>>>>
7 albums- 10 Million
LOL gurl please!
Congrats Rosie! Even tho you publicly trash my fav all the time. I know you be listening to Mariah Carey secretly. Also, i’ve been listening to Miss Lana and I see why people like her. She is so deep & a great songwriter.
That avi is garbage tho just like your opinion.
Aw, thanks.
In return I will go watch a Mariah video on VEVO.
Lana is really interesting and this is coming from a Rihanna fan
@Lovebird, Its always you that has to play opposition for everything lana does, you burnt heaux, what? did rosie drag your ass a few years back and now you seeth behind numerous irreverent white dudes in your avi? I dont even know who you stan for, thats how vague and un-stimulating you are, stay PRESSED
Screaming!
I don’t even know who is in his avi 98% of the time. At least Zooey is A-list.
Hot guys I’m my avi Rosie, you don’t have to know them. Are you a d*** maybe? Oh I forgot, you cannot get a man.
Zzz @ you stealing d*** drags from the Z-Squad.
All the men in your avi look like bottoms, I see why the mostly straight GP have no idea who they are.
Please help me count the f**** I have to give;
^ I counted Zero, how many did you count?
Stay counting on your own hunny, I’ve already counted to a million 😉
Oh the shade was sharp@Del Bey yasss ma’am
Lol what obsession if you can count over a million of my comments. When do you have time to listen to Lana’s boring elavator music when you spend most of your time fuming over my comments.
Lol Beyonce put all these h*** to bed. While Rihanna gets fashion award, Beyonce is called the Queen of music by MTV upon receiving an artist of excellence Innovator award. She slayed them all and she has been around the longest.
But i like Lanas music shes doing great for someone alternative.
My N!gga what is Miguel doing besides kicking b!tches upside the head?
OMG Kiiiiiiiiii
Did I mention, innovative in music?
Its nice to see all members of stan bases congratulating my fav, I inevitably knew this plaque was coming, to all those flip floppers who shaded lana before but now platinum has come into the equation want to start applauding, no thanks>>> give those applause to gaga, she needs it.
@DelBey you should be lucky anyones congratulating your fav you ungrateful piece of sh!t.
Wow a pressed gaga stan is what I see…
The kids don’t know the difference between sold,shipment nor dragging…..
If anything the kids are clocking them T’s boo…….
TBH I’m not a Lana fan but I see a long career for her, unlike Gaga, I think she has more to offer and isn’t as REDUNDANT…
Oh Kimbella yes I am grateful, I didn’t mean to sound arrogant
So lets put it into perspective where everyone mainstream currently stands.
Beyonce 3.1 million (Since December 2013)
Rihanna 3.5 million (Since November 2012)
Katy Perry 2.6 million (Since October 2013)
Lady Gaga 1.7 million (Since November 2014)
Miley Cyrus 1.6 million (Since October 2013)
The kiis write themselves.
Unapologetic sold 4 million sis.
UNAFLOP shipped 4 Million sis. Why is everyone using shipment sales all of a sudden? Beyonce got ya’ll that pressed? LOL
Then BTD sold 5 million.
Do you want me to take the inflation game up a notch and add the 900K from the Paradise EP?
!!!!!!
Correction, IT SOLD 4 MIL. We’ll leave fake sales for ur fav.
ok baby, where are the receipts?! I haven’t seen one yet
2013 for Gaga*
LoveBird, im blowing you a kiss on your sweet lips. 🙂
I have already clocked the delusional Gaga stan for the difference between shipments and sales Kimbella. You might want to re read.
Oh no, i hope you’re not referring to me, i’ve been a fan of this woman since day one, i’m in love with her.
That was to @Del Bey 🙂
I like you s******, I remember an exchange of nice words once, no I’m talking about a few non avi individuals that would of thrown lana under a metaphorical bus before this post was made. x
Alllllright 🙂
No honey, only you don’t know who they are because you don’t look at hot guys that way. Ask any straight girl that can get a man and they know who Colton Haynes is.
@Rosie
He is Gay tho. (meaning his a$$ belongs to Blondie)
You wish, he is mine. We’ve already been through this.
Even if they did know him it wouldn’t change the fact that he’s D-list, sorry.
But that’s just it Rosie, I don’t give a f*** that he’s D list, I give a f*** that he’s hot. If you were straight, you would know that.
No straight person over the age of 16 knows who that is, sorry we prefer men who look like they’re past puberty.
Good, that means I can have him to myself.
That goes for you too Blondie.
According to IFPI, my child. Now run along
For the Bey stan coming at me
according to IFPI Beyonce sold 2.3 Million in 19 days! IFPI also has lady gaga at 2.3 Million. Which means Beyonce should be nearing the 4 Million mark as well since we’re going by those reciepts! LOL run to a seat and take it b****!
Oh please that albums ridiculous shock tactic resulted in quick sales, and will quickly fizzle away as a result of Bey’s inability to get a number one.
That makes no sense. So if your fave was to release a “shock” album she would sell 1 Million in a week as well??!
A #1 single isn’t everything and #1 singles don’t help album sales *looks at unaflop’s U.S. numbers* kii
meanwhile it’s been thee months and the album hasn’t fizzled yet! She sold more in the second week and third week than Rihanna sells in the first with her cancer healing #1 singles! LOOL
Wait a minute?? Did I miss the memo..Body Party isnt platinum yet? I remember people saying it was going on double platinum…the delusion is real
You should take time to research for yourself…
And sis how is Kelly’s Re-Release coming along???
As if multiplatinum and platinum certifications around the world weren’t enough …
Slay Lana Del Global 😀
GaGa isn’t going “platinum” anytime soon @Samantha. Her career is a mess, everything sucks. Flop songs, flop album, flop tour, flop everything. Hope this doesn’t last too long.
@Ozzyone IFPI use SHIPMENTS. According to them, Beyonce has done 5 million! Unpurchased has not sold 4 million. And Artpop has not sold 2.3 million. Death @ the fanbases inflating in a struggle yet you’re the same ones who comes for some Hive members for that.
Oh here we go again, IFPI COVERS SALES AND SHIPMENTS. When it comes to UNA, they counted the sales to stand at 4.1 Mil worldwide. Don’t even get me started at what it shipped.
well Beyonce has sold 5 Million in three months! lmao
I can’t @ the double standards. Everyone wants to use Mediatraffic for Beyonce but IFPI for their faves.
@stephy the flipflopily, genuine question, do you have bipolar disorder? you show signs of spontaneous mood change, its worrying, we already witnessed your ‘speech’ DENOUNCING Mariah as your queen, so why would you think we would all just forget that? IM a true lamb,and you ….
I’m a dramatic QUEEN. I tend to overact on things that are small. I was just having a moment that day. I was just disappointed as a LAMB. Also, im very crazy! So to answer your question I AM VERY BI POLAR and probably many other things. 🙂
Rosie. Please, dont watch Mariah’s video! I hate that song & it needs to stay a flop. However you can purchase anything from her catalog 2005 & back…
Oh, no! I didn’t watch You’re Mine LOL.
I decided on Vision of Love.
And I can’t with dumb b****** ignoring the facts because their pressed. Have several seats
post a receipt then………..
Hunny I am a GAY male, I clock the hot guys from miles away, HELL I was on Taylor Lautners d*** when he was in cheaper by the dozen, the years later all the female population clocked onto my leftovers! YOU hunny watch vampire diaries and gossip girl, the boys in your avi are D-LIST tv actors who play stupid frat boys… NEXT
This was to @LOVEBIRD and her team of irrelevant white boys she tortures us with weekly
Drag!
I cannot at the obsession with me though. I’m screaming. I keep you pressed lol.
@Ozzyone. Honey Im talking pure sales. If you’re gonna inflate Rihannas sales then same goes for everyone else, and Unpurchased would still fall short.
Oh how I remember the shame within in the hive when 4 was struggling for it’s dear life and now with the most ridiculous tactic to sell an album, they think they’re all that. If were gonna sit here and praise this stunt, ask yourself this. Do u honestly think she could’ve sold this album based on promo/singles when all they do is disappoint? Hell no, she NEEDED A GIMMICK TO SELL THIS TRASH. Sorry but not sorry
4 was not a struggle. 4 sold more in the U.S. than Rihanna sells with her bubble gum pop!
How was this a stunt? Could Rihanna do the same and sell 1 Million in a week?
If Beyonce was that desperate for a hit, she would have released a single to itunes instead of her album and it would have SHOT to #1! Beyonce is an album aritst. She isn’t concerned with just a single. Even with her lack of promoting she is still selling!
Make sense before you type
And Unapologetic has still not sold 4 million. And you have not posted a receipt.
But do you not act in the very same manner towards others? told ya’ll I sterilized my scalpel
@LoveBird
My fav would’ve sold more than that boo, are u going to tell me she would’ve done those numbers had she released it the traditional way? Ofcourse not! Singles do help sales, look at katy perry for example
LOL your fave can barely cross the 300k mark first week with her generic hits! GET REAL!
I’m not here for the ‘gimmick’ excuse. Last year she was tired, washed up and nobody was checking for her anymore she shouldn’t be selling by that logic. Look at gaga, gimmicks for the Gods and no one cares.
Ozzyone. Where is that receipt?
You have hands, go check wikipedia and IFPI
you post it! We know the truth. We want you to back these lies!! LOL
P.S GODS & MONSTERS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE LANA SONG, I SUGGEST YOU GUYS TRY SOMETHING NEW, SAM POSTED IT ABOVE XO
OMG I’m obsessed with song, do u know when the next album is coming?
I think its predicted for the first half of this year, but nothing has been confirmed, its also going to be name ‘Ultraviolence’
Gods & Monsters and American are my two favorites.
Also maybe Cola.
I don’t know, it’s hard to pick just one.
Yes I love all 3 so much, I was tweeting ‘my p**** taste like pepsi cola’ for a whole month, and I’m a male so you can imagine the awkwardness.
Nope Im asking you to post it. Whats so difficult?
Unaflop hasn’t sold 4 million. She got a 4 million plaque for shipments. The navy are hypocrites.
I act whichever way I want but I love the fact that I keep you so pressed and fuming to the point where you read all of my 1 million comments.
Such dedication though
I like how the navy forget Rate R happened when they try to come for 4! LOL
Calling Beyonce’s new album a “gimmick” Is the most hilarious thing I’ve heard. How was it a guarantee that her album would sell. She took a big risk! Everyone can’t do it. Especially not a has been “FLOP” so make sense IDIOTS!
Most major artists like bey, riri, katy could easily do this my friend, it’s smart for a flop but doesn’t prove anything…
LOL Than why do they struggle to reach gold first week with their “hits” and album promo?? None of them even sold over 300 k first week LOL
How could a “flop” pull this off? I’m still waiting for you to make sense!
Im not denying beyonce was a successful artist but this mess of album needed this gimmick. Damn, half of it sounded like rejected rihanna tracks that even rita didn’t want
85 metacritic >>>>>> Your pressed opinion 😉
This album sounded nothing like Rihanna. Beyonce has always had her lane since DC! #REACH
Rihanna is a label charater, and is so not genuine. LOL
Hunny I visit this sight DAILY, and reading the comments is a part of what I do, I’m a lurker because by the time I get onto this site, you’ve already spewed your dribble all over the comments… so I don’t bother, next
Wow looks like my first time commenting on the site left some people really flustered but its okay, your forgiven for ur misinformation.
Where are your receipts troll?
But wait. You responded to my comment first. And you still have not posted that receipt.
But who’s sells in the long run? my fave. Even releasing albums year after year, the audience eats it up without it feeling overexposed and saturated. That is remarkable.
LOL
So you’re basing this off of ONE under-performing era of Beyonce’s??
While Rihanna has THREE? LOL
oh ok
What three? other than her first album, she’s done amazingly well
Her 1st, second and rated R!
What other album can you come for other 4 boo?….I’ll wait! kii
It’ll be even more remarkable if Rihanna could finally get her second double platinum album in the U.S. 13 #1 hits. It’s about time right?
B**** sit down in a corner “ashley”, let the grown ups talk. As for u, Rated R was a success as well as AGLM. Both albums sold well and spawned number 1’s like rude boy and S.O.S unlike 4 and Beyonce
#1’s lmao. Is that all the navy can comprehend? Why are 4’s WW sales the same without a #1? Why is BEYONCE about to be double paltinum in the U.S. without a #1 unlike Loud, TTT, and UNA? lmao
Rihanna should have no problem selling 1 Million first week with all of the exposure and features she’s done recently. If she doesn’t, she will be dragged with not an ounce of mercy!
I guess Beyonce held a gun to the 3 Million+ people’s head and made them purchase her album without even hearing a lead single first. lmao. If you haven’t noticed the hive invests money in albums. Not 1.29 singles. A shame that Rihanna’s singles outsell her albums. Ya’ll should focus on getting her that double platinum album. It’s time lmao
Can’t wait to see Rihanna next album sales
I’m sorry, are you in need of ESL classes with ur fav? Listen b****, a gimmick is responsible for those sales and not because people wanted it. And with all these “sales”, you’d think her fans could spend $1.29 on a single but no. She would’ve clawed her way to barely platinum without it.

Girl don’t try to backpedal now, you’ve already admitted that you’ve dedicated most of your time on this site reading my comments.
Oh Huntyyyyyy your IQ is obviously very low because you did not pick up my shade, a million as in how many units lana is about the sell in the us, please do NOT flatter yourself
@Lovebird
I’m sorry, do u need a minute?
I still prefer Lorde to Lana but I like both, I hope that Ultraviolence does good numbers, but there’s still many people in America that still doesn’t know her.
I like both too. They make haunting music and are very involved in the musical process. Not being the best live singers doesn´t take away their other talents from them. On the other hand there are some completely talentless people out there 🙂
I can’t with Artpop still not being pass 700k! Thanks for the laugh TGJ, but she’s not going platinum. I expect Iggy to rise next week since Fancy is rising on radio.
TGJ posts are pathetic!
What´s the point of mentioning one artist´s domestic album sales to date (Lana) next to other two artists worldwide sales (Lorde and Katy), in the same sentence? So incoherent! Wannabe journalists or just biased and uneducated people writing this.
I think Gaga’s art was only forced and overthought after the fame monster. Oh well. She’s still talented though. No one is perfect. She’ll still be getting paid and u will still sit on your fat a*** hating with no payroll, bum.
That last comment was for LDN loser.
Art Pop isn’t platinum cuz Gaga took a break since December and hasn’t been promoting it nor releasing sinles or music vids from it. On the day of the release there was hardly any hype either. Yes, the sales are mediocre. She’ll think of a way to get back on top though. Maybe it just takes time.
excuses excuses. after doing vma’s , youtube awards, the voice and american music awards. Remix with Christina, she should be way ahead in album sales. She promoted her enitre album at itunes festival before it was released. gaga fans are such sore losers lol she is just a flop. no one is here for her garbage edm pop. her career is in decline
R u kidding me? Y’all seriously waste this much time having arguments about an artist, their sales, relevancy, fashion, Etc? You people obviously have a LOT of spare time in your lives to waste this much time on nonsense like this. Just enjoy the damn music and stop being little shits and dragging everything and throwing the world FLOP everywhere like it’s a damn ball!!
shut up b****! These people have a right to do what they please with their time and keyboards! you must be a b***-hurt gaga fan lmao
B****, people with actual lives have better things to do than be butthurt by idiots that spend all day on this irrelevant ass blog site. F*** on this site count their fave’s sales like their lives depend on it day in and day out. That’s y I don’t come on this drama filled site all the time. I already know Gaga came and slayed so she will be remembered. What about you?? Who cares if she’s reaching a low point in her career like it doesn’t happen to everyone at some point. Get your life, Get a life, and get a job and stop worrying about the next b**** who is more impactful than you will ever be in your lifetime.
Excuses, and you can just kiss my ass cuz everyone has at least ONE bad era and are sore losers too like Rihanna fans that are always saying she’s the best thing since sliced bread yet has some of the most basic sales in the industry!!! Only thing that makes up for that is her number 1’s, sweetie. I defend Gaga cuz at least she is the creative force behind her artistry and she’s talented. Go f*** yourself.
Gaga has promoted since December what kind if lies? Did she not just get vomited on the other day for example ?
She went quiet, because it was FLOPPING. it’s not flopping because she went quiet. She’s trying to figure her next move.
Fran, she did major appearances and promo prior to december. Mind you Applause was not a big enough hit for people to really care so they moved on. DWUW wasn’t that popular either anyway. And yeah you bring up a show she RECENTLY got vomited on and sparked controversy. Who cares. She wasn’t putting herself out there like Miley with publicity stunts NON STOP every month.
Yes three month ins the top 10 and 6 million copies odf applause sold WW. WOW what a flop….like a prayer and Holiday sold the same as that! Top 10 in 70 countries….wow you guys have high standards. She doesn’t have to reach number 1 and sell a billion copies to prove herself don’t be soo narrow minded and petty.
600,000 is pathetic? a director, writer, activist, Singer, pianist has 5 grammy’s and 160 million records is pathetic. I guess I would be jealous of that like you hence your comment 🙂
You people me sick, Music is not about sales or number ones or who is better then the other. Jesus it’s like cults fighting! get a grip and get some fresh air. Stop hating on people just because you want to let your anger out because daddy use to beat you, you were r**** or whatever s*** you have had to deal with. free yourself in the music.
YAYO
your right music is more than sales & charts but sales & charts keep artists on record labels to make more music just ask the artists who have been dropped in the last 6 months for bad sales. Making music is not free.
