Lady Gaga's 'ARTPOP' flop expected to lose label reported $25 million in marketing costs

[Canada Goose]

Did the math...shawty would need to sell damn near 2.2 million albums at $11.99 a pop just to break even on marketing . Ol' girl would have to tour for the next few years in front of sold-out stadiums to pay that shyt back. Da fukk was the label thinking?

Timberlake did this in 2013 alone, I'm sure Interscrope assumed Gaga would be able to do similar numbers...

A multi plat album with a U.S Stadium and arena tour plus a worldwide tour should have taken care of everything financially at the label.


Breh, Taylor Swift sold out the Patriots Stadium in Foxborugh by herself... its not far fetched that the label expected that Gaga would be able to do similar things.

no fukking way the label spent 25M marketing this shyt

at the most maybe 8mil ish

yeah, Im not buying the 25mil thing either.

thats damn near impossible to do

i don't get how pop numbers minus a few are so low this year. I mean miley was at one point the most popular person in music, and after the vma's people couldn't stop talking about her and she isn't even gold yet. Katy fukking perry is a fukking icon and she had shyt first week numbers

i don't get it

 

[L. Deezy]

Em better be CAKING of that old Jew if this bytch sold 250k with a 25M promotion and he did 800k with just one video out and a couple interviews here and there.

Akon probably thinking damn it may be time to hit the studio again.

Akon dont own a piece of Gaga.. dont know where that started.

[SpacelySprockets]

Britney Spears about to end the year off right and show these imitators how u do it
























Actually she might sell less than Miley, Katy, and Gaga

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

i think its alot...i didnt even know she had an album out.....so how good was that promotion?

Oh I am not saying it's not a lot but it isn't a far fetched number.

The promotion is the same they usually do but she doesn't have a song everyone likes right now. That's the real problem.

 

[hustlemania]

dont know why Interscope did that.

She did 1.1 first week last time but thats becuz Amazon sold the album for fukkin 99cents first week.

this is the only correct response in here..

yet, leave it to the resident coli A&R and record execs to try to break down the what, when's and how's.. if anyone's dumb enough to believe Interscope actually put 25mil into promoting a record, you all lost..

Lady Gaga revealed on the Elvis Duran radio show in November 2013 that she's been quietly battling an addiction to marijuana. "I had to stop (smoking pot)," the Mother Monster said. "I was addicted to it. ... Although I think it's the best drug to choose from when you're playing around and experimenting, I just want young kids to know that you actually can become addicted to it, and it's ultimately ... a form of self-medication. I was smoking 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco."

Probably another reason why shes flopping. Takes a lot of self medication to traverse a realm as demonic as hers, friends.
