SHADY set to block Gaga's "ARTPOP" from reaching #1

[therapist]

I've been keeping up with Gaga's hype and the album projection has dropped even lower than 300k to 260k+ expected. MMLP2 is sure to move more than that in the second week. Relapse and Recovery both did and MMLP2 is mathematically inclined to do even more.

Recovery (1st NINE WEEKS):

6/27/10 1. 741.000
7/4/10 1. 313.000 (-58%)
7/11/10 1. 229.000 (-27%)
7/18/10 1. 195.000 (-15%)
7/25/10 1. 187.000 (-4%)
8/1/10 2. 159.000 (-14%)
8/8/10 2. 152.000 (-4%)
8/15/10 1. 133.000 (-13%)
8/22/10 1. 116,000 (-12%)

Thoughts? I think interscope fucked up or this is intentional and they're paving the way for a newer pop diva, I hear they're looking into signing lorde...

Lorde on interscope....hhmm. They are good at creating larger then life artists....they love image though so I dunno.....

Wasn't 2Pac on interscope for a while? Random question...just curious.

I believe they helped with his 7 Day Theory album

We still dont know if it will do 300,000 hard to say with big drops as of late.

Nothing has dramatically changed in music pirating since recovery though... and if it did MMLP2 still sold more in the first week. It's mathematically unlikely that Gaga will take the #1 spot but we'll see. Math only gets you so far and is almost always trumped by human spirit.

It will be interesting to see how sales go, especially since we're getting close to Christmas shopping times.

If Em gets 2 weeks at #1 then he'll get 3 too, he'll definitely get the week after Gaga, then the week after that.... ONE... FUCKING... DIRECTION.

2pac was always on interscope, even before deathrow, deathrow was affiliated with them, i believe they were distributed through interscope if im not mistaken

[emusic]

This website, agrees with you: http://thatgrapejuice.net/2013/11/akons ... um=twitter

They think that because Em is #1 on iTunes (UK & US), and she's #2.

^ if you think interscope is a poverty label then what is a good label?

GOOD Music obvi

Maybach Music Group solely because it cares immensely about it's artists

YMCMB could get Rick Rubin'd and it would be the best label

OVO Sound is on it's way

What exactly do you define a poverty label as? Just curious.

[yoda you can call me]

i knew shady was a cock blocker

[sbolli1]

funny, I find GOOD music to be not a poverty label, but an ironic one.

Because, ya know, it's called good music, and it really isn't good music.

^ All have shit rappers on their labels. I'm starting to understand mononym a little better.
