Though Lady GaGa may be renown for being one of Pop’s friendlier characters, the same can’t always be said for her fans. Well, at least when they’re provoked.
For today, after spending the last year defending the star against the likes of Perez Hilton and the fiction spewing villain that is ‘Angela Cheng’, GaGa’s ‘Monsters’ found a foe in the unlikeliest of places.
‘Chart News.’
How the industry source ruffled their feathers?
Full story below…
Thirty five minutes ago, the Twitter account- which frequently publishes music industry sales information- tweeted the following message, revealing just how many units GaGa’s latest single ‘G.U.Y’ had sold since its release.
Minutes later, members of rival fan bases took their personal accounts on the social media platform to weigh in on the update with…
In response to the sarcasm, GaGa supporters made their way to ‘Chart News‘ timeline to counter with…
Today’s incident comes weeks after the fan base accused the outlet of showing a biased against the ‘Gypsy’ singer, prompting the messages published below…
The ‘shade’ they were referring to?
With the above in mind, we ask…
Does ‘stan culture’ place too much emphasis on sales?
Weigh in below!
Yet they’ll be right back on their d*** when Billboard updates again next week.
You outta breath sis from running yo desperate ass in here?
Is K** tired after jumping from one black d*** to another?
Sweetie jump off a cliff with that tired shade, i wonder how many d**** Lana had to suck for her record label so they could purchase all those borin born to die albums
Same for K** and her American Vogue cover.
I have a friend in Chicago who works for Barnes & Noble (largest bookstore in US). Apparently no one is buying it. Poor K**. She will remain the biggest joke in pop culture.
Who cares if no one buying it i bought it that’s all that matters sis im sure you got your copy aswell lessor.
Then good luck to K** getting any magazine cover again other than Cosmopolitan since most of her covers for other magazines were worst sellers that year.
Im sure she’ll be seeing more covers then Ducklip Del Rey tho haha….But you can continue to seethe over Kims success make sure you tune into Dash Dolls well thats if you get E in Canada kiiiii. Btw who is in your avi i know its not Lana she could never look that cute.
Lana has 5 international Vogue covers and plenty more worldwide in just 2 years, I’m sure she’s unbothered.
And that’s Zooey Deschanel, another person 1000x classier than the Kartrashians. New Girl, Tuesdays at 9/8c on FOX (US).
Chart news was obviously throwing a little shade though because they never usually report digital singles sales below the top 100. But lol I can’t
Look at you! You have the nerve to come back here after yesterday?
Why wouldn’t i? I’ve been commenting on this site since 2012 so bye.
Slayriah making ha unwanted return.
DEATH! Ryan Spears? Random username much. Continue seething.
Run Slayriah, run and nevah return!
Another pressed Beyonce Stan. Whats new?
I can’t believe you had the gaul to show your face around these parts. #YouHaveNoShame #SelfExposure #Trolloolool
Wow Slayriah, I never thought you’d show your face on this site after that legendary drag yesterday…
What happen to Slayriah?
Go to the Beyonce post that says her new album boosts US Market share. Lol it’s pretty funny tbh. These h*** are seething.
It got exposed on the ‘Beyoncé boosts US Market Share’ post.
Oh my ! let me go see
Sam i love this comment section we have now please dont change it.
Trollriah is back! Yaasss slay me Queen.
Death @ chart news trying Gaga like that.
As usual, I leave one comment and Beytches are already upset.
The only ones upset are you right now after being exposed and seeing You’re Mine’s iTunes position.
“Exposed” as what? I wasn’t even talking to your pressed ass so I don’t know why you’re replying. Provide evidence and come back.
Why do I need to show proof when it was right there? I’m dying, if your dumb ass wasn’t exposed you wouldn’t keep trying to prove yourself. You look more guilty every time you mention it.
That wasn’t proof though. I came to this post and left a comment about Gaga and was attacked. You can believe What you want but your opinion DOES NOT represent facts. People claim they go to the University if Toronto yet they are so basic minded.
Of*
Death, what does my school have to do with this? Anyways it’s common logic that the more someone tries to explain themselves, the more they’re lying. An dead at you and some of your defenders trying to use the mobile site excuse yesterday when only the desktop site was working.
Why are you trying to argue this? If you believe I’m a ‘troll’ then Why are you going back and forth with me? You should have ignored my comment to begin with. You have your opinion and that’s that. Believe whatever you want to believe.
No one was blaming the mobile site btw. We were just saying that was one of the possibilities. It’s funny how when this same situation happened with others you were absent but when it happens to me you’re attempting to shade/drag.
Your logic is clearly flawed because you generalize everyone. I don’t like to be lied about which is why I retaliated but whatever gurl. Bye!
I tribute to this song Queen Slayriah Carey.

The ‘slay’ tweets were the funniest part.
Back on topic. People are making a big deal out of G.U.Y not charting. It has barely been promoted.
Says the same one who comes for Partition and Talk a Good Game.
Talk a good Game hasn’t even sold 300k worldwide. Artpop is nearing 2 million in sales. + Applause and DWUW are platinum. Body Partytition is a flop. #Sorry
Lol Partition wasn’t promoted. You’re so confused.
Yeah but Drunk in was promoted and still isn’t double platinum after like half a year. Bye
But GUY still had more push than Partition so I don’t want to see you shading it again hypocrite asss.
And DIL? Its fine. It had one piece of promo (grammys) unlike You’re Mine and is platinum. You’re even lying about how long its been out. Struggle ass biotch.
That was no lie. Drunk in love has been out for months. Katy and Miley went double plat in weeks but whatever. Death @ you saying you don’t want to see me shading Partition! Lol gurl… I don’t care about what you want. I will shade it if I feel like it. Bye.
Girl just hush. 4 months =/= half a year so yes it was a lie. All this comes to down to, you’re a hypocrite. And clearly you just shade Beyoncé because you’re pressed.com over her.
And you expect people to believe you’re not an anti Beyoncé troll. SMH.
You just proved my point. So because someone is pressed over Beyonce (which I’m not), it means that they are trolls. Does that mean that all the Betonce Stans who are always hating on Rihanna are trolls too and have usernames I abundance. BYE BYE B*****! You sound dumb AF!
I’m not speaking in general. I’m speaking about YOU. And you do the MOST b**** when it comes to Beyonce so yes I wouldn’t put it past you.
Like I’ve said 100 times before… You are entitled to your opinion about me (like I’m entitled to my opinion about Beyonce). Goodbye.
But it’s flopping though.
You’re such a fake ass phoney ass b****. Sexlijah slayed itunes yesterday and I didn’t see you say anything in his thread.
Someone on the Beyonce post said me and you are the same person. Lmao
Oh look, Sam, your mobile site is actually working semi-decently. Good job.
Agreed no shade but this site/ comment section is the best so far.
Yes, stans place entirely too much emphasis on sales. They automatically assume if their faves albums/singles chart higher, that makes them better than the next artist, I remember the days when sales figures weren’t reported til months after an album was released. Nowadays, almost any sales figure is considered a flop. An indie artist can sell 55k the 1st wk and be called a flop while a mainstream artist with 10 million Twitter/IG followers can sell 250k the 1st wk and be called a flop. These stans don’t even realize some of the greatest/highest selling albums started off slow. For ex… Control debuted at #102 on the BB 200, My Love Is Your Love only peaked at #13 on the BB 200 and Aaliyah’s classic One In a Million only peaked at #18 on the BB 200 and sold only 70k the 1st wk. Britney’s debut sold only 120k the 1st wk but sold 30 million overall. Plus these labels push out 3-4 singles in a 6 month period so ppl get bored with albums so fast where as back in the day, you could release an album in 1998 like Brandy did and still be releasing singles in 2000. Nowadays if you release an album in January, if ain’t Platinum by Valentine’s Day, it’s a flop
but today, since theres up to a 70% decrease in sales 2nd week, if you dont do atleast 100k you probably won’t go gold unless you rerelease
anyway tgj hows this shade? Chartnews posts Tamar & John Legend’s stuff that didn’t go gold.. that’s the point its NEW music updates
but ok……..
So I’m gonna stop commenting on TGJ because a few unstable bxtches think they’ve “exposed” me? Lol. Like I said, when you can provide proof, come talk to me. Funny how the Betonce Stans were immediately posting essays and my old comments from months ago. Makes me even more suspicious. Lmao
Ignore them sister. They’re just jealous of your impact.
Girl shut up you were exposed stop going on about it. Hive won’t let you forget about it just like how you stayed on Digger Beys c***.
I’m not going on about anything. I left a comment about Gaga and and all these people started attacking me. I’m still waiting for the proof of me being a troll because this Shitt has happened on TGJ.
You’re STILL talking?
You replied to my comment that wasn’t even directed at you to begin with. Lol bye
If only the monster’s, like the hive can get off Twitter and spend more time buying their favs music, they wouldn’t be flopping.
If only your p**** didn’t smell of an Amish fish market.
Lol. Drag ha.
Beyonces album is outselling Rihannas LOL. Fail.
Wow Slayriah i feel sorry for you.
The hive need to spend less time reading twitter updates and more time reading books.
Maybe Slayriah was telling the truth
Sorry wasn’t trying to reply to you i was trying to make regular comment
its not about placing too much emphasis on sales at all, its about gaga fans a few years ago only, and I mean only, tweeting about her major sales and that was like their only defense in these stan wars. so, now that she isn’t selling at all, others make fun of the monsters for it. that’s all. sales aren’t that important and everyone knows that, but gaga fans took it too far years ago.
The hive are closer to the intelligence level of a cockroach than they are to their fav, and their fav is only as intelligent as two cockroaches.
The way your walls are set up though.
Wtf
Chart News was shady af for that. Clearly after that reaction lol.
how were you set up tho? its not tgj’s fault @slayriah you just forgot to change the email! the avi was yours name blue ivy and the shade sounds like its coming from you too!
Here we go AGAIN! Can see stay on topic and talk about Gaga please? I’ve already said what I needed to say and people are entitled to have their opinions (which aren’t facts). The only thing the person said that made it come of as me was “B*****”. Everything else wasn’t me. “Bxtchonce” is one I never used. I usually say StruggleYonce or LesserYonce.
whatever, just lay low and keep it cute.
Lay low? Lol you are making a big deal out of this. I’m commenting as usual and people are pressed. Idc bye.
I CANNOT!!!! @ THE EPIC MICHELLE DRAGG FEAST GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH THE HASHTAG #POORMICHELLE……..
LAME
Omg its crazy see how fast the hive backstabs her.
Omg sam post on #PoorMichelle its so crazy shady and messy.
I do not understand what happened to her loyal fans-this is krazy 2 me….anyway, I find it hilarious reading these comments, u people are something else.
I’m just gagging at the fact that Artpop has sold about as much as Beyonce outside the US.
After 17 years Beyonce is STILL LOCAL.
Yonce local like a jar of nutella.
And how the monsters epically and effortlessly dragged the hive last week though, I’m weak.
It is way too much emphasis on the charts. It’s very unfortunately. Let’s be honest, every stan want their fav to be successful, but that shouldn’t be the only way to rate great music. These days so many amazing albums are underrated and the focus on sales clouds so many people’s minds when it comes to quality.
Deadd. Saw this on another post. Huffington post better drag the weak ass excuses for pop ‘stars’ and stan for the Queen.I see why all the stans will forever be mad at Bey because she will always be held a cut above the rest.
What Happened To Our Divas? Beyonce Must Be Very Lonely At The Top
Aretha. Celine. Whitney. Mariah. The ultimate divas.
Miley. Katy. RiRi. Gaga. The … ummm?
We hardly blink an eye when Lady Gaga gets puked on, or when Madonna attempts to stay relevant by performing with Miley Cyrus. And how about Rihanna? She’s too busy on Instagram to be belting out her beloved hits. Seriously, what happened to our divas?
HuffPost Live took on the subject of divas with a little help from host Caitlyn Becker, who asked, “What defines a diva?”
“There are really four ingredients for a diva,” guest Gerren Keith Gaynor of CentricTV.com explained. “You have to actually be dominating the charts, you have to actually be talented, you have to have longevity and you also have to carry a certain level of grace and a certain level of mystique about you.”
But do the “pop stars” of today have those four ingredients? Not entirely.
“We live in an industry where we have the bootleg or manufactured diva, and not an actual talented diva,” Gaynor went on to add, explaining that, in Lady Gaga’s case, the gimmicks have overshadowed her talent. “We should stop throwing around the word diva like it’s candy … it’s not.”
Singers including Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus may be dominating the Billboard charts, but they don’t seem to have the same effect Mariah Carey or Aretha Franklin had on their audiences. Lately, Queen Beyonce seems to be the only songstress keeping the diva torch alive, with a little help from her friends J.Lo, Kelly Clarkson and Adele — who is, technically, still working her way to that prestigious status.
As renowned singer Patti LaBelle said earlier this year, todays “divas” are “little heifers who can’t sing.”
“The diva has gone the way of the dinosaur,” Kara Miller of TheLifestylista.com stated.
Agree? Watch the full diva discussion on HuffPost Live.
Beyawnce above the rest?? B**** please beyawnce hasn’t even sold over 10 mill with one album..she is nothing spectacular
So you have to sell over 10 million to be spectacular? Why can’t it be her talent?
They don’t know the meaning of talent, I can guarantee it stans for Rihanna.
You MadT?
I’m dying at “go buy ARTPOP”
The cutters don’t care about sells NOW because their fave is flopping. If this was 2011, you wouldn’t be able to tell them nothing. As I recall, just 6 months ago the cutters were saying Gaga was gonna slay Katy cause KAty is a single artist and Gaga is an album seller. HA!
Remember when the HIVE were very humble after 4. In 2008 they were saying “How many #1’s does this artist have and blah blah blah.” and now that Rihanna has not only pass her, but did it times 2 and some. Now “Singles doesn’t matter.” Ha! Sit beytches.
And back in 2011, Beyoncé was washed up done and no one is checking. She will flop like Gaga, won’t see another Top1 10 remember. My my my…. Now shes revolutionised the industry and outselling your fave only thing you wack h*** can drag with is #1s. Which is a kii when you compare them to her album sales.
Let’s send death threats to Twitter user ChartNews and make him kill himself, we can do it Monsters.
Disgusting human beings, this is what they do when someone don’t worships Lady Gaga, they have done this to everyone who don’t like her, there is no excuses for this behaviour, worst fan base ever and the saddest thing is that while Lady Gaga has no control over her fans, she still does nothing to stop them, like she said when asked about the death threats “You have to understand it comes from a place of love”, they learned from her, she is as evil as them, at first, you think (they are just trolling but then you realize that they really wish and do all kinds of things for that woman), stans have always being a little crazy about their idols and even obsessed but they are psychos, worst thing to happen to the music industry.

Relax hun LOL
What a pointless post!
Who the hell checks Twitter to see if some irrelevant stans are saying things to somebody? It´s totally irrelevant. Not to metion the way TGJ gave the info suggests others were the ones shading first, not Gaga fans, so why all the fabricated fuss? So absurd anyway. A joke. TGJ please do better than this.
lmao
