Did Lady Gaga's ARTPOP Flop?

Lady Gaga's ARTPOP didn't meet expectations.

Besides the big promotion and Gaga twittering like crazy, the CD will only hit around 260,000 copies. That's over 75% less than "Born This Way", which sold 1.1 million copies in its first week.

And the promo campaign took a hit too. Interscope Records spent $25 million to promote the CD. That's a lot dough, yo. Her sales also fall short from the other girls on the block. Miley Cyrus’ “Bangerz” hit 270,000 and Katy Perry’s “Prism” debuted with 286,000 first-week sales.

So is this considered a flop? Well, yes and no. She on par with the latest IT girls, but it's a far cry from 1.1 million. Grated those sales were boosted from the Amazon .99 cent gimmick, but still, the numbers don't lie. I guess we will see if this is a trend once Beyonce release her next CD.
