Lady Gaga has dominated the world of pop music for a few years right now so when we ask the question did her album flop we need to be careful. Lady Gaga’s latest album ARTPOP was recently released and album sales didn’t live up to expectations…. by Gaga standards. Word has come down that the pop sensation’s third album totaled 258,000 sales, which happens to be less than a quarter of what her previous album, Born This Way, sold in it’s opening week.
While Lady Gaga isn’t about to go broke, nor is she in jeopardy of becoming obsolete as a pop artist it should be noted that reviews have been less than stellar for her latest work. Many music industry people believe that Gaga’s transition as an artist may have cost her in her latest album. Critics agree there aren’t many hits on her latest album.
It’s an interesting situation for Gaga who has put up Madonna-type numbers to start her career. Album sales dipping 80% is certainly something to take note of. In the meantime, we expect to see Gaga bounce back and continue to be her weird yet awesome self.
