Lady GaGa Goes Gold With ‘Cheek To Cheek’

Lady GaGa continues to defy the odds.

Despite being written off by some sects, the Pop diva’s success narrative received another chapter this week.

For, her latest album ‘Cheek To Cheek’ (with Tony Bennet) has hit a shiny new milestone.

Details below…

Per Soundscan, the Jazz LP – which was released in September last year – sold 30,000 copies in the US this past week, bringing its total Stateside sales to 515,000.

The feat sees the project land at Gold status (RIAA certification pending).

It’s an impressive achievement for GaGa, who can now boast of having all of her albums reach (at least) Gold on home soil. What’s more, the landmark sees ‘Cheek’ become one of just 31 records to sell over 500,000 copies in America in 2014.

Nominated for a Grammy for the set, GaGa and Bennett are currently on a sold-out tour to promote the record which recently also benefitted from a major campaign with H&M.

***************

Say what folk will about GaGa, but the numbers don’t lie.

If she’s booking these kind of numbers with a non-mainstream project in such an unstable climate at that, the foundation looks great for her return to the Pop sphere.

    Now I love this album but seriously quit hyping up “gold status” for being some major milestone. The album has been out since September and its just now reaching gold?

    #missmewiththat

    • Kunty Perry January 4, 2015

      Barbara Streisand’s jazz album sold more….Gaga is a boderline has-been.

      😆

      • Gaga Is A Flop January 4, 2015

        WW sales this week:

        Gaga’s Cheek To Cheek 58,000 (870,000 total).

        Barbra Streisand’s Partners 101,000 (1,513,000 total).

      • ARTFART January 4, 2015

        Lady Gaga is a scam. This talentless fugly s**** needs to fade away. The female version of Kanye West- self-absorbed, petulant, irrelevant and nonsense. People have lost interest partly due to her psycho fans and Gaga’s narcissism.

    • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

      It is for a Jazz album. Streisand selling a little bit more (with the help of like 10 other artists) doesn´t take anything away from this.
      It´s hilarious that when someone only ones to downplay a particualr person they use any artist, everytime a different one, to bash the one they want to downplay. Why use Barbra? Why don´t you use your faves? Can your faves sing Jazz at all to begin with? 🙂

      • rosie January 4, 2015

        Gaga doesn’t have a star power left. Her last tour she managed to sell below Katy and Beyonce. Poor Gaga, she is just a hype.

      • Paulo January 4, 2015

        LMAO right! Put Katy and Lana on a room with a piano and no autotune. We’ll see…

      • Classic January 4, 2015

        Can Lady Gaga ? She sounds like an American Idol contestant that oversings

      • FAF January 4, 2015

        Well this is good for her are ppl streaming as well? Artpop may go plat

  2. GaGa’s Tampon January 4, 2015

    Yasss! Congratz Mother Monster cannot wait for her next era will probably be her best after learning a thing or two from ARTPOP

    • R0SIE January 4, 2015

      Gone are the days when Gaga was named the final heir to the throne of Queen of Pop Today, the press and the critics take their statements with suspicion which exaggerates its music and its importance in the art world, while Twitter and Facebook begs his Little Monsters to buy multiple copies of their albums and singles.I have not fallen into that game, for me she is overrated.His talent is of course debatable.

  3. GaGa’s Tampon January 4, 2015

    I’m a monster but i haven’t really been checking for this album
    Haven’t even bothered streaming it

    • ENOUGH ONIKA January 4, 2015

      And from the looks of it, you gremlins weren’t checking for artflop either….

      • GaGa’s Tampon January 4, 2015

        Shame all you do is post negative remarks every time you hit the comment button must not easy not having a life and main purpose well i will pray for you dear you obviously need Jesus and the holy spirit in your life (:

    • R0SIE January 4, 2015

      I’m surprised Katy Perry was the one to take her out. Britney’s last album was great and performed better regards to being radio friendly and fun. Madonna gave a blow with her reductive comment but it was Katy’s simple fun song that knocked her from ever reaching that #1. Her fans can say all they want but in the end, she is at a decline. Numbers don’t lie. Well in her case she try’s so hard to hype her one Grammy nomination..which is sad.

      • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

        How pressed! Can your faves even sing several genres like it´s nothing to begin with? Gaga is fine, she already has grammys and her album sales to date are bigger than any other of her pop peers. She has her talent to keep going even if she doesn´t seel a damn thing anymore. She just proves it performance after performance.

    • Classic January 4, 2015

      Your fave can’t even “sing several genres” to begin with, it all sounds like an American Idol contestant show singing

      Get a taste

      • haters back off January 5, 2015

        you need to get a taste and ears. lady gaga sings way better than you ever will. even your goddess madonna agrees

  4. LB January 4, 2015

    Ok, interesting, now how much did she sell without streams?

    • CaliLilMonster January 5, 2015

      She’s hardly getting any sales via streaming. I believe on YouTube total views for Cheek to Cheek videos are around 12-14 million, and not all of them are from America. Also none of the songs are in her top 10 on Spotify. So maybe 25-50k of the sales are from streaming, and that’s a very high estimate.

  5. LB January 4, 2015

    Gaga is a fad at most, she is like Ciara, Ashanti, Paula Abdul and Sean Paul, one minute they are hot, the next they are not. It happens every now and then in the industry.

    I am certain this year will see the birth of a new fad, especially considering what a stale year 2014 was.

    • TheElusiveLamb January 4, 2015

      It’s not that she’s a fad, it’s just a part of the industry. Everyone goes up and down; however, some just stay down.

  6. CATFISH CAREY January 4, 2015

    THAT HAPPENS WITH MOST “POP STARS”
    Eg BRITNEY, XTINA , THE BACKSTREETBOYS

    • CATFISH CAREY January 4, 2015

      @LB

  7. TheElusiveLamb January 4, 2015

    The shocking thing is not Gaga going gold (bc we all saw that coming), but it’s the fact that only 31 albums have went gold… there are more than 30 mainstream albums dropped in a month. Sad days.

    Anyway, I wish Gaga luck with this next pop era she does. If she tones it down back to The Fame era, there is a 90% chance that she will be back at the top.

    • RIP January 4, 2015

      Lady Gaga is an imposter a human tumbler account. All her music, costumes, and Madonna-esque persona come from brilliant artist before her. She doesn’t write her own songs ( look at her credits) she only wrote 2.. Yeup just 2 but takes credit for them all. She is a flop con artist who shouldn’t be paid for literally copying other people’s work!!! Lil monsters can cry all they want that she doesn’t copy and writes all her albums the only people they fool are 10-19 year olds.

  8. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT January 4, 2015

    Congrats to Gaga and the old man. I don’t think the Lana fan will win this time around.

    • BeyBeyKing January 4, 2015

      When is Aaliyah releasing her greatest hits? Does she have enough hits to fill an album?

      • Mark111 January 4, 2015

        I Care 4 U and Ultimate Aaliyah. The latter was a 2 disc set, while the first had a good number and 6 unreleased tracks, 3 becoming hits themselves. #sit

  10. Iggy, Queen of the pre op trannys January 4, 2015

    I’m here for the 99 cent chanteuse, hopefully her new era is much better then ArtPop.

  11. Kunty Perry January 4, 2015

    Gaga—>Jennifer Hudson—>Ciara—>Fantasia Barino——>Paula Abdul

    • Iggy, Queen of the pre op trannys January 4, 2015

      Gurl? just no..

  12. LB January 4, 2015

    I’m certain her new era will be better than Artpop, if she has learned her lesson, every artist goes through a downward spiral every now and then.

    Whether it’ll connect with the public is another issue. The GP expects gimmicks, weird outfits and publicity stunts from Gaga, her fans expect mediocre music with a dance beat, I mean she has served them three albums of that and she is also losing fans.

    Whichever direction she takes her next project, she’ll be alienating one segment of her audience. It’ll be interesting to see what she decides to do.

    • CATFISH CAREY January 4, 2015

      KINDA REMINDS ME OF MADONNA’S AMERICAN LIFE (GREAT ALBUM? BUT THE GP DIDNT SEEM TO AGREE THEN SHE BOUNCED BACK WITH CONFESSIONS

      • LB January 4, 2015

        American Life is awesome, I agree.

    • Mark111 January 4, 2015

      Sorry LB, but the GP moved on. You got Taylor, Katy, Mily when she returns amd Rihanna. Gags is done, XXtina t’s. EDM is over (at least in popmusic)

      • LB January 4, 2015

        That is true, but in Gags defense, pop fans are fickle and can be swayed in certain directions depending on the music.

        Unlike Miley and Gaga, Taylor, Katy and Rihanna have got solid fan bases, something Gaga should have concentrated on building, she missed that window.

  13. Truth Coffee January 4, 2015

    Lady Gaga has yet to deliver something unique to be considered legendary or icon.

    Everything she does has already been done by another artist before. Legends have at least one iconic thing to be remembered for, for example Aretha for her voice, Janet for her dance, MJ for her performances, Madonna for her video, fashion and etc.

    Gaga doesn’t have anything that screams… “wow”!!! 🙁

    • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

      Well the fact that you are comparing ehr to legends and not her pop peers says a lot, doesn´t it? 🙂

      • Lady Flopgaggag January 4, 2015

        …still cannot forget how stupid Gaga was when she showed up at the 2011 Video Music Awards as Jo Calderone, meat dress and egg. When she 1st started she was kind of interesting. Now she is more delusional tacky, misguided and cheap. Kind of ‘I am cool’ buy my records. And Born This Way wasn’t an album of the century at all. It wasn’t album of the year either. I am SO done with this overrated and the biggest clown in the showbiz. RIP.

      • ? January 4, 2015

        They are comparing her in the sense that she can’t be compared with the Greats. Thinking is not your strong suit huh.

        I think you are retarded then. By telling those things about her they are implying she is clearly better than her pop peers.

  14. Kiah Kongo January 4, 2015

    ARTPOP- the album of the millennium according to Lady Gaga sold nearly the same amount as Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.

    LOL

  15. BeyHive Army January 4, 2015

    Wake up people…Lady Gaga is just hyped up songs for kiddies, and it definitely got nothing to do with pioneership in pop culture! Turn off the radio and start digging in older/other music… you will understand and thank me later.

    • ? January 4, 2015

      It’s not like Beyonce is particularly thrilling artistically either

  16. R0SIE January 4, 2015

    She looks AWFUL and stupid as usual! Her fashion is garbage just like her music. Her eyes are so dark and sunken, like a corpse. She is clearly burning the candle at both ends. Old h** is on the verge of singing in Vegas….

  17. Micks January 4, 2015

    Lol its still been outsold by Barbra Streisand. Is Artpop platinum yet?

    • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

      Has any of your faves ever released a Jazz album to begin with? let alone actually selling with it? Some people like you are really stupid. Of course it is better to downplay a woman who can sing any genre and that proves again and again her talent. This is the world we are living in and this is one of the reasons why mainstream music industry is crap compared to how good it was 20 and 30 years ago.

      • ? January 4, 2015

        She can’t sing any genre, let alone make interesting music

      • Micks January 4, 2015

        Oh save the excuses. Gaga couldnt even go platinum with a s***** commercial POP album stop clinging to the fact the album is jazz. My faves have nothing to do with it.

      • Micks January 4, 2015

        And dont get it twisted I appreciate raw talent. But that doesn’t mean people who appreciate talent have to support Lady Gaga just because she ‘writes’ and all the other standard shitt. Shd used prentious gimmicks mainly to get to where she is (and currently is not).

  18. Stephy January 4, 2015

    American Life was boring as hell. Too much auto-tune European dance electronic crap. Mother & Father was the best song. I strongly dislike EUROPEAN-Donna… M was at her best when she was an American Original 1983 – 1995.

    Anyways, Congrats to Gaga. Her next album is make or break for her tho. If she don’t deliver. Then, she just proved that she was a one moment wonder.

    • John Vidal January 4, 2015

    Lady gaga is no vocalist she is just like Pink, Rihanba and Kunty Perry. She is not now or ever will be a vocalist like Xtina and Mariah.

    She is no icon like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyonce heck or even Britney these people are icons! She is a fading fad much like the bump it and skinny jeans she will disappear into oblivion never to be heard from again.. Well be on a future Vh1 special of Remember when or dancing with the stars

    • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

      Stop trolling. Xtina is not on Mariah´s level at anything to begin with. And Gaga can sing Rihanna and Katy perry under the table (plus her talent as a musician). So nothing right about your comment really.

  21. Rosie January 4, 2015

    Congrats to Tony for keeping her remaining credibility alive for another few months (and maybe two albums, since that’s the # of albums they’re planning together now).
    Notice how all 3 of her remaining stans are M.I.A. in this post with over 30 comments in yet they’re the first to mention Lana in whatever post. Shows who their true queen is.

    • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

      Damn it the obsession!!!! LOL How sad are you? Nobody mentioned Lana now, absolutely nobody. Plus you all need to put that absurd feud an end, they are so different. It´s an illusion. What a waste of time.

      • Rosie January 4, 2015

        Don’t blame me. Maybe you should tell the two obsessed so-called Gaga stans that bring up Lana for literally no reason every time they log on.

  22. The Edge of Coffin January 4, 2015

    Lady gaga is spiraling downward from her music to the publics demand for it. I bought Born This Way thinking it was going to be a great album all it’s doing now is collecting dust. Tried to take it to the shop to sell it they won’t take it because they already have like a zillion copies for 2.99!

    To my disappointment I ended buying Britney’s Blackout and anyhow there is my 2 cents which is the amount I’d pay for another Lady Gaga album…

  23. flop 2 flop January 4, 2015

    8 months later and her album is now gold? Jeeze.

    I agree, Gaga’s killing her own career by acting like this. Why is Katy Perry doing so well? Katy seems like a nice person, is grateful and polite to the TRUE queen of pop Madonna, and Katy genuinely comes off as grateful and humble as does Rihanna. Gaga needs to learn a thing or two stat because her pop days are numbered. She hasn’t even had a lot of hits under her belt and allows herself to be called “queen of pop” lololol. She’s falling fast, and not just off the charts. Karma I guess.

    • rosie January 4, 2015

      It’s always “The Littles Morons” that call Gaga the queen of pop. She doesn’t even have close to the number of hits that Madonna, Katy, Rihanna have. She has two number one songs. Big deal. She’s been around for five years. She’s not even the Princess of pop, that would be Britney. And that ugly mug of hers, sorry… she needs to keep those sunglasses on. Her career is coming to an end by being mean, allowing her haus and monsters to tweet cruel things about other artists, she’s ugly inside and out. She;s done.

    • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

      Acting like what now??????????? Performing for Sting and slaying you mean? LOL What has she done now lol

  24. Godney Spears January 4, 2015

    I used to like Gaga but she seems very mean-spirited and fake and I can’t stand how she thinks she is already the next Madonna. People like Beatles, Elvis, Madonna have earned their legendary titles after being in the game at the top of their field for decades. Rihanna has 24 top ten singles and is well on her way to becoming a music legend but you don’t see Rihanna and her people acting like pretentious jackasses the way Gaga does.

    Gaga is pretty much done and only a scat p*** can save her popularity.

    • ? January 4, 2015

      Rihanna does nothing legendary though

  27. Suckka January 4, 2015

    This is what happens when mediocre NY musicians take the stage. They need shock value in order to make up for how terrible they are musically.

    Gaga is too self-conscious and serious to be fun, and there are too many half baked ideas thrown together for it to make sense. Her songs now are just random hooks Madonna-ed together with some glossy production, marketing and given titles that the songs themselves don’t live up to.

  28. Yawnzzzzzw January 4, 2015

    This is worth a thread? This Ciara lessor should go to hell. Gold, after how many months?

    Only donkeys are impressed.

  29. MariahIsMusic1 January 4, 2015

    Rita Ora is another underrated talent, she makes garbage music. She needs to make Adele to showcase her vocal range & the GP will eat her up

  30. Slarianna Grande January 4, 2015

    Gaga is turning fat like Mariah. Thats just disgusting.

  31. Lady Flopgaggag January 4, 2015

    Lady Gaga came to a fork in the road with this album. She’d built up this image as a some kind of uber-artiste, but her musical output has always been a bit pedestrian, a fact almost everyone agrees to, including her biggest delusional fans. With this Artpoop album, she could have proved herself a credible musician, or she could continue to do the same old thing. She’s not only chosen the latter path, she has also lost her ability to construct a decent pop song. It’s all gone up her nose because she is too egoistic..oh well.

    😆

  32. LB January 4, 2015

    @Sukka, more like generally good arrogant singers making mediocre music. There is a reason Britney’s career out spanned her competition Xtina, Britney new her limitations and built on that, Xtina was probably told by her team at how good a singer she is and that brought in an air of arrogance.

    That’s the difference between having a team working WITH you and having a team working FOR you. The one that works WITH their team out spans the other. This is why Katy’s career will be longer than Gaga’s even though Gaga is more talented.

    • Lady Flopgaggag January 4, 2015

      • LB January 4, 2015

        I know, there was something interesting about her when she first started but it went downhill from there. Born this way was over hyped with nothing to go with it.

        It was empty, arrogant and contrived and Artpop was worst. Artpop was more like Gaga saying, “I am lady gaga, buy my music” when the music was cheap and mediocre.

    • JOHNVIDAL January 4, 2015

      You have such a bad taste. Gaga´s music and artistry only growed after The Fame (her most basic album). Even her biggest hater-fan @suicideblonde knows this and admits it.

      • LB January 4, 2015

        I disagree with you John, I think her music became worst, she stopped trying and started assuming everyone will buy whatever she released even if it’s subpar.

        She fooled people with born this way, I’m glad it didn’t work with Artpop.

        You stan for Janelle Monae and so I expect a lot more from you.

  33. Ririyonce Minaj era sit down clown January 4, 2015

    The flash in the pan will die out soon! Her music is boring and predictable. She has mediocre talent so she goes for shock value. Lady Gaga is the epitome of filth. She’s nothing but a role model for girls and boys with no self-esteem, and she believes everything she does is out of “art”. I am so sick of this Xerox machine exploiting gay issues to win publicity. And it’s her fans as much as it is her. It really is. Her fans are the most universally-despised in the stan world.

    Lady Gaga is not a musician. She just a commodity just like McD and KFC. It is time for her record company to send her to gay bars Vegas.

    Wasn’t hoesie stanning for gaga before artpop and now she’s clinging to yet another artist, Barbra Streisand? Screaming.

    • Rosie January 4, 2015

      F** WHERE in this post did I mention Barbra? Still doesn’t change the fact that F***’s decline is the biggest of all time, you and the Cutters’ obsession with me is REAL, and Chav is selling less than Electra Heart.

      • CherylSoldierr January 4, 2015

        Didn’t you mention it in a non gaga released post today? Screaming. Stupid troll. And NO it’s not sis kii

      • Rosie January 4, 2015

        Receipts? You’re so delusional and obsessed with me. Go import Chav’s album so it can outsell Electra Heart.

      • CherylSoldierr January 5, 2015

        Receipts? You said “a$$ to a$$ couldn’t outsell partners.” Clockedt you dumb h**. Go buy Uv so it can get certified

    • Rosie January 5, 2015

      You said in another post, not this one. The Ass To Ass comment is on this very post. Your dumb ass can’t even keep to your own word. And how is that bandwagoning Barbra? All I said is that it’s another jazz standards album released this year that scanned a million worldwide, so the Little Fagsters excuses of Ass To Mouth being of a “local” genre is invalid. Like I told you earlier go buy Only Local so it can outsell Electra Heart or A.K.A.

    People were saying Mariah was over when Charmbracelet happened? What happened afterwards? She had one of the biggest albums from the 00s decade.

    • Mark111 January 4, 2015

      She had a HUGE 10 year career to stand on and 7 successful albums. Gags, just like Ashunti, Ciara, 50 Cent, XXtina, fell off on after album #2 and withing the 5th year. She’s done.

  45. DanYiel Teflon January 4, 2015

    I also Live Lady GaGa sound haven’t heard ARTPOP album but she’s a great singer…

  46. S****** Blonde January 4, 2015

    Did someone just say that Gaga should introduce Rock ‘n Roll back to Popular Culture?, God help me not to lose composure, first of all, Rock ‘n Roll is still alive, there are many bands and solo artists who only play the old good RnR, they’re just not mainstream, besides, Gaga is hated by fans of Rock music in general, as is almost every Pop artist, just the news that she wants to make a Rock album has make our community very very angry, she does it for credibility, she wants to be seen as cool, superior, she’s seeking acclaim and Rock music is the easist way to ge it, just as a Metalhead what do they think about Lady Gaga making a Metal album?. @JohnVidal, she can’t sing every music genre, that’s the biggest lie ever told, we ge it, you love her, you are so impressed by her but don’t let your overestimation for her blind you, i’m the first person to admit that she’s very talented, but the way you talk about her is like she’s this musical genius ala Mozart/Lennon. She’s the most talented of the Pop girls but it all ends there, she’s full of b*******, but of course you don’t care about that.

    • Cold Case January 4, 2015

      Stfu.

    • JOHNVIDAL January 5, 2015

      That´s exactly what I´ve ever said: she´s the most talented of the pop girls. Soooo… where is your problem? Never said anything different.
      Let it go man, it´s time. Don´t get on @Rosie´s level of obsession for crying out loud! LOL

  47. @RealMattPhoenix January 4, 2015

    Haha i’m glad gaga is getting certified. So many other haters want to discredit this amazing woman when their faves of the current generation can’t even pull gold and stay under 17k
    .
    This is the queen of interscope

    • haha January 4, 2015

      Why do you have a different generations styles ?

    • errr January 4, 2015

      And what is current ? Dressing like the 90’s gen etc is not current

  48. Slayty Perry (Super Bowl Queen) January 4, 2015

    After all that promo she’s just now scrapping gold? Didn’t Barbra’s Jazz album scan that in like 3 weeks? I wonder how much was lost on pushing this album. Gaga was the biggest star 5 years ago and now she’s being outsold by someone decades past their prime. How the mighty have fallen.

    • Classic January 4, 2015

      Someone like Streisand is not past their prime

    • Rosie January 4, 2015

      Yeah, Partners sold double of Ass To Ass worldwide according to Mediatraffic (gays’ favorite source) and Musicharts.

  49. Shitseido January 4, 2015

    Madonna’s Pop/Jazz/Swing album sold 7 000 000

    • errr January 4, 2015

      Um, downvoter, it did sell 7 million if you like it or not.

    • LEFZ January 5, 2015

      not true

  50. Theman January 4, 2015

    Gaga is all good. Her album as a whole isn’t a flop, but by her standards it underperformed.. 800k is still nearly a million units. How is your favorite artist doing without radio hits.. Then this album is very successful for a jazz album. She’s quite the talent..

    • errr January 4, 2015

      It’s quite mediocre, except for Tony Bennett and the band.

  51. SCHEISSETHRONED January 4, 2015

    Ok so all I have heard is that Gaga is this huge has been… And how Barbra outsold her. FIRST and foremost Lana Del Rey hasent even sold 300k in the US with Ultraviolence right after releasing a successful album, so if anyone is done and over its Lana who admittedly made a terrible and over the top album. SECOND we all saw chat news updates about Madonnas sales with this Rebel b*******. Gaga just went gold in a day in age where people DONT SELL MUSIC! Gold is extremely successful nowadays! If Gaga is so over and her hype is up, why right a 4 page letter about it? Gaga has STILL outsold Katy’s entire discography. That’s why she’s still in the game. Because yes ARTPOP was a miss, BUT when Gaga hits she HITS! Will major blockbuster success! Look at her tours, discography, single success? She is a SELLING machine that took a hiatus due to her entire team falling apart. Please stop acting like you’re not googling Gagas name everyday. Please stop acting like you didn’t just see her ignore the “QUEEN OF POP” who clearly is obsessed with her. Please stop acting like you’re not so scared of the next pop album she’s cooking up, because we all know she won’t make the same mistakes again. Deep down you all know, that’s why you’re trying to convince the world she’s over. So you’re fave seems safe.

    • errr January 4, 2015

      No one who has their catalogue ripped through is “obsessed” with her. That would be Lady Gaga having been obsessed with Madonna and her status. No one is scared of her ” next pop album she’s cooking up ” as largely none of her albums have been good. My fave has several iconic albums.

    • Rosie January 4, 2015

      Ultraviolence sold 450K in the US and is therefore eligible for a gold cert. Also sold over 2x more outside the US when it’s genre (alternative rock) is just as local as jazz whereas Ass To Mouth still hasn’t sold 900K worldwide. Second, UV has made almost every year-end list and is the tenth most mentioned album on such lists for 2014 according to Metacritic. Not to mention its at least 10 points higher than Fad To Fad just going by original reviews; therefore your “terrible” argument is invalid. Catch up uglee and use up-to-date receipts.

      • CherylSoldierr January 5, 2015

        Where is the grammy nom with all that AccLaim? We’re STILL waiting for you to answer that!!! Kiiiiiii

      • Rosie January 5, 2015

        And where’s Chav’s? The flop b**** is not only selling less than Marina but can’t even get a Brit Award, let alone a release date in the US. Stay in your lane delusional b****.

  52. Theman January 4, 2015

    This album is great !

  53. LDN Chick January 4, 2015

    Googoo is done. The GP are just over her pretentiousness. Switching lanes and using Tony Bennett in hope to reclaim the ‘quality’ critics after the epic commercial fail that was Artpop won’t work either. And jazz or not, all I see is Gaga plastered all over Tube stations in London and yet they still got outsold effortlessly by an old legend who also had a Jazz album. Embarrassing.

  54. SB January 4, 2015

    The real question is why do idiot pop stans have to pollute every article about any pop star with meaningless stan war bs> You all need to get your own self image not defined something as meaningless as which pop star you like.

  55. sleazy January 5, 2015

    wait why are people acting like Barba is a new artist? she is a legend she is HUGE rihanna cant even sell her generic pop albums yet yall come for gaga

  56. Unbreak My Flop January 5, 2015

    This can be considered flop in any standards…. 🙁

  57. LEFZ January 5, 2015

    I’m a KatyCat and I’m so sad! I wish Katy Perry could do this but she doesn’t have the pipes! 🙁 boohoo
