I swear they do it to troll...like the article about Something New calling Girls Aloud the best band of the 20th century.

 

[Peru]

Nah, according to Guardian journalist on twitter CRJ won by a landslide in their internal votes. That Petridis dude always stanned for the Aloud as well.

didn't know they were that old

 

[Majmun]

And to up the pressedness of certain members, the Guardian's picks for best album

No 1: Frank Ocean – Channel Orange
No 2: Grimes – Visions
No 3: Jessie Ware – Devotion


Not a shoutout to Beyoncé in the writeup as well. LORDT it is as though they wrote it for certain pressed members of Pop GAF.

What a flawless top 3. Almost the same as mine.

And yeah, his mention of 4 is great. As if our local hoes weren't pressed enough already

Okay this is pretty hot.

Yep. Embrace Pepcé *.*

 

[Bladenic]

That gif is incredible.

Lordt we're 12 years in and I'm still making this mistake.

Someone should put all these predictions in a dossier for easy retrieval when the time is right. Let me add mine:

Opening Week

ARTPOP: 670k
Beyoncé's 5: 355k
Britney's 8: 310k
Broke With Expensive Taste: delayed until 2014.

Done and done

Ohhh I want to predict...

ArtPOP: 300k

Beyonce 5: 460k

Matangi: 57k

Broke with Expensive Taste: 43K




Lol this would have to be Kreayshawn level disaster.. I think her EP sold more than that very quickly when she was more of an unknown too.

ARTPOP: 777k
Beyonda 5: 300k
Britney 8: 250k
The Electric Lady: 40k

ARTPOP: 500k
Beyonce: 450k
Britney: 350k
M.I.A.: 40k ;__;
Dido: 30k ;____;

ARTPOP: 835k
Britney: 170k
Beyonce: 415k

I think I have everyone who has predicted thus far.

 

[twobear]

ARTPOP: 4 copies
5: 3 copies
Britney 8: 2 1/2 copies
Matangi: 1 copy, stolen

 

[Majmun]

Can't wait to clock everyone who's predicting Pepcé to do less than 400k

This should be fun

 

[Wafflecakes]

ARTPOP: 4 copies
5: 3 copies
Britney 8: 2 1/2 copies
Matangi: 1 copy, stolen

You already placed predictions.....that were equally useless

I'll just add 5 zero's on the back of these.

[Wafflecakes]

These are the predictions I have thus far. Looks like everyone started doing Bey + Gaga + Brit. I will add my Brit predictions after I give them some thought. If I missed someone.....sorry point it out plz

 

[Phonomezer]

Moscow loves Lady Gaga!

...hahahahahahaha

 

[twobear]

My opinions are being completely misrepresented.

This is libellous slander and you will be hearing from my lawyer.

Bless the uploader paying money for a ticket just to record a video of how few people were there.

tbh I'm not actually sure ARTPOP will outsell 5

I REQUIRE NUMBERZ!


So far only two people have predicted Bey > Gaga.

 

[Styles]

Beyonda 5: 300k

[Wafflecakes]

ARTPOP: 600k

When other outlets do their year end numbers after new years I expect 1D to take 2 of the top 5......so I am happy.

 

[twobear]

not adele selling nearly twice as many as taylocal with a year old album

 

[Styles]

not adele selling nearly twice as many as taylocal with a year old album

But Taylor's album has only been out for 1 and a half months. When will your faves sell 2.4 million copies in that time span?

 

[Wafflecakes]

Adele is in a category of her own at this point......she in probably the most universal artist of our lifetimes. She has no "audience" per se....her audience is all people who are not deaf.

How does one compete with that?

 

[Majmun]

I wonder what's Lotus' position on that list...

 

[Wafflecakes]

I wonder what's Lotus' position on that list...

They have the full top 200 here.

Spoiler

Its #182

Kelly ended up:
30 - 535,918 - STRONGER - CLARKSON*KELLY

Not mad since it came out last year.

 

[Majmun]

126 - 213,459 - 4 - BEYONCE
167 - 163,117 - BORN THIS WAY - LADY GAGA

 

[royalan]

126 - 213,459 - 4 - BEYONCE
167 - 163,117 - BORN THIS WAY - LADY GAGA

Both of those artists' albums have been out all year and they were either still releasing singles from them until recently or touring the album this year. What did you expect? Especially since it has become quite clear that Beyonce would club a baby seal while planning a duet with Casey Anthony if it meant selling just a few more albums.

 

[Styles]

75 - 318,777 - SPEAK NOW - SWIFT*TAYLOR 2010
126 - 213,459 - 4 - BEYONCE 2011

144 - 182,753 - FEARLESS - SWIFT*TAYLOR 2008
167 - 163,117 - BORN THIS WAY - LADY GAGA 2011

Azelia Bank has a HUGE BellyButton.

I highly doubt that Lotus will ever reach those 4 numbers. I just don't see it.

And yeah, Vect, Taylor has been slaying for sure. Poor GAGA

 

[twobear]

second doing the most with these pepcé gifs

 

[Artemisia]

I kinda want beyonce to flop now just to see Second melt down and Roy rejoice for an infinite amount of pages.

lol I have the exact same feeling.....and I predicted 475k for 5.

It would totally be worth it.

 

[Dr. Malik]

The delusion from some of you that think 5 will out sell ARTPOP when Gaga has become incredibly front loaded and she knows how to use the media to hype herself. I can already see Interscope getting that payola ready and booking her in every talk show, its going to be glorious.

 

[Majmun]

Sorry Marius, but I think that "5" might outsell Artpop in the long run.
You just can't ignore the promo.

It's just the way it is

I completely agree....there is no way.


Also. Wanna throw out a Brit prediction? I am gunna say 225k.

 

[Nemesis_]

I think Gaga will ultimately succeed in this aspect. Her interviews and promo events will all highlight just how intelligent and charismatic she is.

:3

Meanwhile Beyonce will do well and promote well but won't endear herself to the public as well.

I mean, what did the Superbowl do for MDNA or for the Black Eyed Peas?

Madonna didn't have the Pepsi endorsement and no HBO Documentary.

And this may sound harsh, but she's OLD and BUSTED. She won't cater to the young crowd.

Beyonce is hot, and she can give out amazing performances. Couple that with a smash single and we have a winner.

 

[Supermanisdead]

The Super bowl for Beyonce will be bigger than for Madonna.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Yeah, no...

You are letting all this promo get yo your head. Gaga like Waffle said is like a circus and that circus has been missing for over a year now, all she needs is one crazy costume or performance at an event to garner back the public's attention without the need to be associated with a brand for promo.

The Beyhive should be worried about some cretin eating into her market, tho

 

[Majmun]

The Super bowl for Beyonce will be bigger than for Madonna.

The Hag didn't have this kind of promo. And this is just the beginning.

 

[twobear]

Plus I dunno what they're usually like but...the Madge superbowl was not that good. Beyoncé will SLAY it, guaranteed.

 

[Nemesis_]

I also think people need to think back to when Gaga was active, either for BTW or TFM rather than now where she is purposely avoiding the media until her new album hits.

 

[Bladenic]

I was reading iTunes reviews for Warrior and came across this

How accurate.
