I cannot believe how wrong @Rosie was about everything. First she said Gaga´s promo campaign was being huge (how? when? She pretty much did nothing until release week and it was just this tv program (just like everybody else, also Bruno) and SNL), nothing else for mainstream audiences). Then she said she was going to sell less than 100k copies first week (she sold almost 200k if I remember correctly and against all odds, change of genre and all). Then she said Michael Buble was going to outsell her first week (he released taht same week) and in the following weeks, neither of those two things happened. Last but not least it is VERY SURPRISING that at the very sweet moment in her career Bruno Mars was, he is probably going to sell less than Gaga, who was at a very difficult moment of her career (media and commercially wise). This is being so surprising. Wasn´t Katy Perry releasing this 2016 too? Damn it for the mediocre pop music she releases she sure needs 3 years to cook it! :) Nah, seriously, I think she was a little bit scary this go around seeing how pretty much everybody underperforms, not even coming from a big era is safe (Bruno´s case). Bruno´s album has quality btw. I know masses don´t like what he has gone for, but he´s quality.
