Watch her tour do 100 million + though.

If Interscope made over $1 billion off Eminem, you know they milked at least $50m off the Gaga wave so taking a 25 loss ain't shyt to Jimmy.
They signed her when she was no one and built her from the ground, so she obviously got a wack ass contract on her part.

She's sold like 20-30 million ww and 100 million + singles and her last tour pulled in probably 2 times more than Eminem's total touring.

bringing the Born This Way Ball Tour's total gross to $181.1 million from 98 dates

t ultimately grossed an estimated US$227.4 million from 200 reported shows and an audience of 2.5 million. The Monster Ball Tour became one of the highest-grossing tours of all time

So just her two tours grossed over 400 million, singles 100 million and cd sales 2-300 million.
= 800 million grossed, I don't know how much Interscope gets of that but it's probably a lot more than they will "lose" of this tour.

At this point Akon is probably looking like the GOD A&R to these labels...
Dude powered 3 of the biggest artists in the last decade...

Fake story

She'll sell singles well into next year and the album will likely sell consistently over the next few months

These new bytches will never surpass the GOAT....:stylin:


Rihanna is the only one right now that could pull this off without looking like a try-hard, and that's mainly because she markets herself as a villainous, trashy whore....:pachaha:

$25 mil loss on promo alone? DAMN!

This isn't even counting the costs of pressing up these records and distribution.

This is why the music game is fukked. Spend all that paper with the hopes that one bytch is gonna sell 10 million and save the label.

Thing is, Gaga is fukken WACK. bytch has talent and can write/sing but her face sucks and the million different wacky outfits are played out. Her team wanted her to be the new Madonna but Madonna was sexy as fukk back in the day and created her own lane. She also put out HITS on a very consistent basis in her prime.

How can someone like you as Black militant as you are completely disrespect Jody Watley like that? She had two solos at the end of the 80s in "87" and "89" but she also released work in the 90s...severely underrated...

Along with decades earlier when she was a member of Shalamar. I am disappointed in you. Go take a seat. :camby:
