Undeterred.
That’s exactly what Pop phenom Lady GaGa appears to be following the so-so sales of latest album ‘ARTPOP’.
Though hailed for featuring some of the star’s best work yet (pours out a lil liquor for ‘Do What U Want’), the set was marred by departed management, a video-less second single, and a turn in the tide of public favor.
And yet, still, the singer is gearing up to share more from the ‘ART’ sessions. And “soon”.
Details below…
During an interview with American Top 40 radio station today, Mother Monster responded to a fan’s question about a rumored “ARTPOP Vol II” with the following…
“I wrote a lot of songs when I was creating ARTPOP. When I was done working on them I had a very specific idea of the concept for the first release of ARTPOP. But I do have a lot more records. But there’s a strong possibility I will release another volume of ARTPOP and I’m really hoping that it’s soon.” {Source}
No.
Unlike a certain sect of bandwagoners, we say this not to join the trend these days of discrediting GaGa. No. Rather, it’s because – from a business standpoint – it makes approximately no sense to keep beating an arguably dead horse.
‘ARTPOP’ didn’t sell amazingly. So what?! GaGa remains uber talented, has a keen grasp of shock value, and most importantly knows how to make music for mass consumption. All qualities that will, more likely than not, see her enjoy a lengthy career. Yet, why – when she’s already milked a sold out tour from the project – continue with more new material?
All talk of reductiveness aside, Madonna is an excellent example of this. She’s had more flops than a Rihanna live vocal, and yet she simply re-invents with her next era – creating a clear visual and musical demarkation between projects whether they be successful or not.
GaGa would be smart to do this, from our vantage point. She’s had a moderately successful campaign (all things considered). So why not channel her heartiest efforts into the one that’ll follow? It’s easily the most rewarding and redeeming route.
One or two more singles from this album? Why not. A sequel LP? No thanks. We’d prefer to see her tour, remind the masses why she still remains a cut above the rest, and return with a project that doesn’t see her banging on (often incoherently) about the ties between two things that are arguably one in the same – Art and Pop.
Anyway, enough of the rambling…
Gags hunny, here’s so advice, go to your back yard and get the shovel, bury all your copies of AP and never speak of it again
Still looking for Madonna flops rs Even MDNA sold morte than Artpop, but no shade. GaGa is great, and the album almost flawless, she just need to work on her image, and learn some boundaries. That whole vomiting stuff just killed her, this kinda thing needs to stop
This biotch is resilient and I ain’t mad at her. This album is only like 6months old TGJ not every artist wants to release a bagillion albums and change their swag every era. Those are for the madonnas and Rihanna’s and folks who rely on things (actually EVERY OTHER THINGS) other than musicality to keep the interest. I know gaga does use shock value which is getting played, she is a good singer, writer and performer. She believes in what she has and wants to fight for it. Nothing wrong with that. It’s only been 6months damn.
Gaga baby please, no. Lets move on to the next project not another art pop. I’d much rather start fresh with a new era than to try to continue an extension under this one.
Hahahahaha, B*******!
Watever Gaga! Just leaked the damn music.
Desperate b****.. this one will flop harder than Artflop.
I don’t remember Madonna flopping this bad on album 3 though. I don’t think Gaga needs a re-release. She needs to finish the tour and move on to the next album. Like Sam said, no point in beating a dead horse. Especially one that was never alive to begin with.
Lol, I put my screen name in as my email. Loving the new site layout btw.
I would prefer to see this b**** at her own home
The Queen Of Pop’s 3rd Album…
True Blue: 1986 (25,000,000+)
Produced 4 Big International #1 Hits
1.) Live To Tell
2.) Papa Dont Preach
3.) Open Your Heart
4.) La Isla Bonita
I HATE this new site layout. I’m even avoiding visiting this site.
This masquerade still doesn’t change the fact that this is a low budget site. Why did sam fix something that wasn’t broken?
I miss his other layout also.
Its too bright & GAY!
The dark purple layout was much better & more comfortable but watever
I’m okay with the overall layout however I want bigger avi or the square avi back
Yeah.. Its so ghetto.
The only positive is that the mobile site works a little better. But otherwise…
Gaga lost herself with BTW, the only song I like off that album is Judas. I feel like ARTPOP is a better album overall but BTW turn many people off from her, then after that she took the gimmicks to an ultimately extreme and that is the reason for ARTPOPS failure, but I’m still wonder why it took Miley 4 months to surpass Gagas worldwide sales.
It kind of feels like Gaga is going to do the Fame/Fame Monster release again. I’m pretty sure they are going to package ARTPOP volumes 1 and 2 together sell it that way in the future.
Would it be considered a double album at that point? Would she get double certification if it is released that way?
That way it would boast a double platinum sales even if it only shifts one million units.
All those discounts and iTunes ads, along with a new video, Letterman, and MTV, and Fadga couldn’t even go top 50 again. Dead at all that promo and it only outsold BTD by less than 1,000 copies this week.
This will do much less than Ultraviolence if it’s released. It will bomb hard. No one is here for her anymore except for her deluded bottoms.
Dead at you continuously bringing up Lana’s name
Dead at you continuously staying on my c*** after I dragged you last night.
How did your thirsty a** drag me? 5 mil ww
Lana can only do a theater tour and your
Pressed a** feels the need to comment on
A gaga post
Kii at the US your being literally the only drag you have against Lana. B**** I’m sleep. Call me when you can come up with something else or when Chavez can release anything period outside of Western Europe.
*tour
and the only drag you have against cheryl is that she hasn’t released music in the us? stay pressed that my fav is flawless while yours reverts to botox b****
Or the fact that Chav local? Or the fact that she couldn’t tour without Girls Aloud until her 3rd solo album? Or the fact that she’s already a has-been judging a talent show? Or the fact that that ugly ass rose tattoo is uglier and tackier than anything Lana has or ever will do? Or the fact that the b**** is a talentless, worthless, lip-syncing s**** whose only purpose is to sell her p**** for some generic Britpop hits?
I can go on and on about Chav and the only thing you’ll be able to come up with is “lol doing theatrez in the USA!!! flop!!!” Take a stadium full of seats.
botoxbetch is cute? lmfao
death when all lana sings about is serving her men.
you’re a f****** mess.
She is so desperate this era. kii It’ll be the same recycled bull she’s been releasing since her debut. Won’t help sales at all. LOL
I still don’t understand why Lana fans are presseover Gaga.
Pressed over*
I don’t understand why Mooriah stans are so pressed over Beyoncé that they create two Gravatar accounts just to hate on her on some low-rent blog.
Death! Still clinging to the fabrications I see. Nobody is pressed over Beyonce. I give my opinion on her. You can be found in every single Gaga post posting her ITunes positions, album sales, etc. bye.
The irony. You do the same with Bey talking about how fake she is, throwing the same “B*****” insult around, and posting Moo receipts from 1895. You have like half the comments on every Bey post and everyone still pays you dust.
When have I ever called Beyonce fake? I do call her “B*****” but fake? Don’t remember that. Death at you saying “B*****” is insulting as if saying “Moo” isn’t just as or even more insulting.
The Beyonce Stans pay me dust? Lol @ the lies. Is that why they are always Re-posting my comments from weeks/months ago. Not Slay_Hive and Digger Bey rushing to Mariah’s post to see if I commented. Lol Rosie. You’re funny. Those h*** are mad every time I comment.
Slayriah that read is so stale now. No one is rushing to see if you comment hun. That was months ago, and only to show that you comment more on Beyonce’s post than Mariah’s. Keep my name out of your mouth Ms. PRESSEDriguez!
BTW “B*****” is so lame. Try again BYE
@Career Ender.
Bye Gurl. It still happened. You and that other thigh were P-R-E-S-S-E-D! Especially Digger Bey. Always steamed.
I will retire “B*****” if they retire “Moo”
B**** you are so pathetic. No one on this site is more pressed than you. Calling me Career Ender or any other Bey stan won’t change how you were CLOCKED!!! You dedicate your existence to the BeyHive on here! BYE #PressedBitch
If you’re gonna call me Rodriguez then I’m gonna call you Career Ender. It only makes sense. You’re calling me a name that isn’t me so I’ll do the same with you. Again… I was “clocked” or “exposed” as what? Blue-Ivy has been commenting on this site for a long time now and it was just last year that TGJ revealed the Ip-addresses with usernames of trolls and l was not on the list. You people are thirsty, reaching and willing to use anything as a desperate attempt to drag. Until their is proof that me and Blue-IVy have the same Ip-address… You will remain dismissed. Continue believing what you want. But many people who comment on TGJ believed me. But you’re pressed about my presence so I wouldn’t expect otherwise. Continue seething and have wonderful day.
B**** STFU and keep all these long ass essays! YOU were exposed for being a troll b****! Accept it move TF on! I am not here for your lies! I am far from gullible. Calling me every Bey stan on TGJ STILL doesn’t change a thing. I have NEVER been exposed as a troll, but you have! 😉
#INSECUREBITCH #FUCKYOUTROLL #CRYMEARIVER LOOOOOL
LOOOL! Okay B*****. You are entitled to your pressed opinions (which don’t represent the facts). Have a good day Hun. Bye Career Ender.
*Plays Mariah’s diamond albums*
hey you fat ass uglee tadpole @Slayriah
keep my name outta yo trolling ass entire existence you stupid nummified nasty ass piglet
fucka troll!
You’re a f****** pressed lesor b**** who relies on trolling . I will always come for that mug and drag it across gravel road, stupid c***
Out in these streets talking about me in this blog, while I don’t even think of you.
I see Moomoo’s unrivalled constant upward flopping has gone to your sybil head and you cant think clearly you resort to having multiple accounts and my name on yo mind. Evil ass h** who is always hating on Bey and the Hive.f*** outa here trolling ass evil circus clown
Fu-fu ass troll *dead*
The dairy milk you stan for aint seen an accolade in 10 years. No #1 album, single nor tour in the past 10 years.u at the bottom of the barel.
Yet you out here spewing hate like its 1652, f*** outa here rodri-troll
Part two’s and re releases always sell less than the act one. Ask Justin Timberlake
Gaga gurl you are as tired as Mariah sit down.
Seriously, why are you so mean to others?!
@slayriah
I also cannot at the constant state of being pressed. The Lana Drunk Rey stans stay mad at GaGa because she is bigger than their fave at interscope.
Gaga’s debut has sold 3 times as BTD. I would also be mad tbh..
Kii. Cling to the past, it’s what all other stans of has-beens do.
lmfaooo
With her worst sales, gaga is doing a huge
Arena tour. Lana is doing a 16 city theater
Tour. Don’t even bring Lana’s name up, she
Will always be a lessor b****.
Kii stay clinging to the same American your (somewhere your fave will never tour) while I already bought receipts that Lana did arenas and is slaying Fad in every way possible in every other category.
Lana has never done arenas in the us. Was
The platinum certification for nothing?
And why are you on a gag post bragging
About it when gaga is doing bigger venues
On an album that sold less?
But Lana del rey is on an upward slope while gaga peaked, gaged, and is now dying in as many years. Id rather gradually peaking and long lived success than being a fad. Bye, felicia.
in as many years? the only reason why people recognized lana in the first place was because of her joke of a performance on snl at the end of 2011. 2 years does not equal longevity. bye b****
Nowhere in that comment did I say Lana did arenas in the US, dumb f**. You know damn well I meant Europe, like I already told you 1935849 other times.
And why can’t Fadga, who’s supposedly the bigger artist, sell out arenas in Europe that Lana did in minutes? More importantly, why can’t Chav, who according to you is more popular than Lana, tour outside of the UK without Girls Aloud?
You actually just said arenas. That could be
Anywhere. And why do you keep bringing up
Europe and cheryl? Is that te only drag you
Have? This is a gaga post and you posted about
Lana and Gagas American sales in your
First comment. Stay on topic b****
But the fact is no one even brought up you or your local ass fave in this post. You don’t even stan Fadga, so I don’t see why you ass came running in here to discredit me and my fave while being to afraid to try it with any other Lana stan because you know we’ll drag you ass to hell and back, especially @The Truth Hurts.
This discussion was about America, a topic a Chavryl stan has no business being in since their fave can’t even release outside of the UK. So if you want to go back on topic, you’re dismissed.
lol at that self drag. who tf brought up lana? just just yesterday in the kelly rowland post. your thirsty a** is desperate for the attention.
like*
The struggle to drag though. But who even brought up you when your fave doesn’t even do anything in 99% of the world?
Girl get your grammar together when you’re trying to drag. you’re so pressed that you feel the need to bring up lana in every post about gaga. i’m calling your a** out. i don’t bring up cheryl in a post that’s not about cheryl. have a seat bytch
Sam, you lame ass journalist scribbler, when will you learn to write “Gaga” properly? Not “GaGa”. Gaga.
It’s not that serious
We’re the pressed ones yet all I ever see is slayriah “exposed troll” carey commenting on beyonce articles desperately trying to discredit her.
Fake like Gaga is even worse when you consider the level of delusion that must be present in its mind when it thinks that Lady Gaga is still the number one female at Interscope when Artpop single handedly destroyed what was left of her already declining career.
U.S Itunes
Lady Gaga – G.U.Y : #338
Lana del rey – Young & Beautiful: #282
Lana del rey – Summertime Sadness: #255
Beyonce – Partition: #51
Not G.A.Y being outsold by Lana songs that are 1+ years old. The kiiii’s write themselves
Truly pathetic. And dead at Fad getting beaten out by songs from 2011.
335. Adele – Rolling in the Deep
336. Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks
And Chartflop STILL isn’t at 1.8 million worldwide. And it only sold 9K worldwide last week. BTD sold 12K. Tell me again how is she still the #1 artist on Interscope?
I’m discrediting Beyonce? Lol @ the lies. I say nothing but my opinion. You hate on Gaga which is very unhealthy. Still waiting for evidence of this “troll account” that you’re talking about.
Relax huns! Why the hate? Are you anticipating Lana´s new single? I´m curious. I think a little change would be nice, I mean, keeping her style but a little bit different lyrically. It would become repetitive if not. But I´m sure I´ll love it. Seems like it´s well planned.
I still want Lana at her core but hopefully she will explore some new themes and move away from the ‘daddy’ stuff (not that I dislike it but it’s going to get old). Overall I’m wanting an evolution of her sound not a complete overhaul and change in direction. I tend agree with your sentiments for the new era.
Total agreement then, including the ‘daddy’ thing 🙂
I appreciate TGJ supports someone talented like Lady Gaga, but I really had to laugh when I read that they are NOT bandwagoners LOL Ok. Apart from that, I agree with their point and advice in this post, for once (cause their advice and predictions are usually a fail).
Gaga won´t do it anyway, I´m sure. A big tour is always long enough and exhausting enough to make an artist want to close an era. She won´t release a part two, it´s just talking in an interview. She probably made lots of songs, but that happens a lot and the artists never end sharing them even if they want to. I think the new video is proof that she´ll close this era with it and then the tour. Go Gaga!
Gaga go away.
I´m glad to see more love for Gaga in the comments these last few days. In the end, people know she is above most other pop artists. And I´m glad the troll with 15 different user names seems to have dissapear from Gaga´s posts 🙂 Finally: why should a Lana del Rey fan hate Gaga? I don´t get it. They are similar in some aspects. You guys realize these artists don´t know you, right? Just because Madonna, or Lana or Mariah or whoever said something once about somebody you don´t need to hate that somebody the rest of your life. Enjoy the music and have a mind of your own.
they aren’t similar that insulting to Lana i don’t see Lana being vomited on.
I said they are similar in some aspects. Can´t you read? Both are great songwriters who LOVE music. Both love to create beautiful and epic videos. Obviously Gaga can also sing live and perform and Lana can´t. But both are great and yes, there are similarities.
Cool, let’s see if she’ll f*ck it all up like act1
Johndival is the biggest hypocrite on this site.
Us Lana fans have no respect for Gaga shes disgusting desperate and her music is pure garbage.
AGAIN, Lana is doing a 16 city THEATER tour of
N America. Gaga would NEVER. They are not
And will never be in the same category. Lana is an
Alcoholic, anti feminist bore.
Theatre tour? You must be lying.
*exits*
I can’t @ that self drag when gaga’s first tour was a theatre tour
and she was doing venues smaller than Lana’s
Shame the chav you stan for has lost all her relevancy so she has been forced to do the seriously declining X factor.
That’s exactly what I told the f** last night. It never listens. It stays clinging to the same tour while using Lana’s smallest venue and the UK because that’s the only market Chav is semi-relevant anymore.
I didn’t know that being on the number 1
Show in Britain was a bad thing.
Don’t even try and say that when I actually live in the UK. The real kiii is that B**’s c list celebrity program “strictly come dancing” has been beating X factor in the ratings for the past few years. The X factor went for having audiences around 14 million to audiences of 8 million. The decline
Where’s the self drag? Lana sold 5 mil ww and is
Platinum in the us right? But she’s doing 5k capacity
Theaters? Cheryl did arenas for her last tour boo
And is still worth more than your fav. The fame ball,
The tour for Gagas first successful album, was not
A theater tour. Stay pressed
Too bad it took 4 years after Chav’s debut to even do a solo ~arena!!!~ tour. On top of that, death at you trying to drag Lana for going to 16 cities in the US when Chav barely even did 10 in her European tour that only went to 2 countries.
And you’re thinking about the Monster Ball, which was also part theaters, sweetie. Fame Ball was all theatres.
The self drag is you saying Gaga would never do a theatre tour which is somewhat right as some of her dates were BALLROOM’s with less than 1k capacity.
5 mil shipped ww, platinum in the us = theater tour.
i don’t get it. be better. she’s selling out wamu theater and you come to a gaga post to brag about it.
I’d love to know where I bragged about it in this post.
Why can’t I brag about it though? The tour sold out in mere minutes, the demand was 16x the number of tickets and she’s doing massive festivals like coachella and Glastonbury. For a first US tour there is NOTHING wrong with a theatre tour, almost every major artist at on point started out on a theatre tour. I know you may be a little salty considering poor Cheryl did one of Lana’s songs on her album and then was completely outshone when the Lana’s version leaked. It must be crap to know that your fav will never be successful enough to be relevant anywhere outside of the UK
Everything you said hasn’t been proven, so it’s irrelevant. I’ll be the first to say that Cheryl needs to work harder to make it in the US. She has the package, she just needs to focus and work harder. I think the X factor is a good step in the right direction.
Of course the demand is high when her venues are 5000 seats. that’s not impressive. But again, @you and @Rosie, Cheryl was never brought up by me, so idk why you’re bringing her up.
I’ve never bought a Gaga album and probably never will, but the more I hear of Artpop, the more I like it. It’s not a bad album, but maybe the problem was that it was too much of a continuation of what she was doing before. Lady Gaga was always on some Artpop-type stuff.
Madonna was shocking when the world was still capable of being shocked. All Gaga can do now is come back from the edge, b/c she’s already so far out there. Her next move CAN’T be more pop or techno — maybe something more r&b oriented or retro soul (a la Amy Winehouse or Adele).
If the tracks are already recorded, Gaga might as well do an Artpop 2 this fall and get it over with, and then a reinvention in 2015-16.
Ill listen , I liked some tracks from artpop so I might like some on this one too
I’ll give it a listen
I can’t at this Chav stan still in my c*** even after all the receipts and dragging I gave it last night. Yes Lana is doing theaters but the kii is that some of them have almost if not the same capacity the UK arenas Chav did in 2012 and none of Chav’s tour dates sold out. On top of that Fadga, who is supposed to be bigger than Lana, is doing some of the same European arenas Lana did on the Paradise Tour. It can stay clinging to the same small venue dates and UK sales from 2009; it still won’t change the fact that Lana is outdoing both of them in almost every way possible without any of the payola and publicity stunts and that no one even can recognize, yet alone has heard of, Chavryl Cole outside of the UK & Ireland.
But the real kii is that Lana shipped 5 mil ww,
She’s supposed to be doing arenas. You have no
Response to that!
Lana has done many arenas in Europe, and not any in the US because it’s her least supportive market and the country itself is very large and spread out. There f**. There’s your answer, which is basically the same thing I have told you 8 million times already.
Now why can’t you explain why it took Chav 4 years to do a solo tour? Even with all those so-called massive sales in the UK. On top of that, why can’t Chav even tour mainland Europe? Kii at her only tour going to two countries. Kii at it being the literal definition of local and a complete nobody outside of the UK.
kii at her touring europe with the black eyed peas. kii at her doing x factor while releasing albums. kii at lana going PLATINUM in the us and doing theaters. Demi f****** Lovato is doing bigger venues and she’s sold 300K!!! I’m screaming at your excuses. screeeeeeaming.
Not you clinging to the Black Eyed Peas for Chav’s tour receipts.
Demi has FOUR albums in the US and this is like her THIRD tour, of course she would do arenas in the US, that’s her most supportive market, just like how it’s Lana’s least supportive market. Her team obviously underestimated her power there, probably why it took Lana two years to even tour there.
But let’s get back to Chav. Absolute and utter DEATH at you using Black Eyed Peas tour receipts for Chav. That doesn’t count, f**. When Chav can tour SOLO in mainland Europe, let me know.
screaaaaaaming at the fact that you still ignored the fact that Lana is platinum in the US. Demi sold 300k. absolute death. the excuses. i can’t anymore.
And why isn’t it replying to the other 2-3 Lana stans on this page? The obsession.
It’s been a hour. Why can’t @ChavSoldier explain?
death at you waiting for my response. zoey looks cute in your avi tho.
Madonna have more flops….Madonna have 3 flop albums, the hate for that woman in this site.
Erotica, Hard Candy, American Life, MDNA. That’s 4 flop albums.
Hard candy didn’t flop.
Madonna have more flops….Madonna have 3 flop albums, the hate for that woman in this site. And Sam sounds so bitter and angry, the whole article was to blame someone else for Gaga’s failures, pressed since 1982.
No gag gag don’t do it! I see miserable numbers in the near future for her. Oh and by the by Sam fix your site, whenever I click to the music section it shows me a blank page.
hey you fat ass uglee tadpole @Slayriah
keep my name outta yo trolling ass entire existence you stupid nummified nasty ass piglet
fucka troll!
She really disassociate herself from this flop now. Part 2 is even more likely to flop harder
Did the s*** you take yesterday was better than the s*** you took today? Let’s find out on Artpoop S*** 2. (They both STINKY tbh). If nobody asked for Artpoop S*** 1, who the f*** give the idea to release Artpoop S*** 2?
