Critics seem to give Artpop favorabl ereviews. I don't know about sales. It think it's gaga's worst album. In this order Born This Way, Fame and Artpop is how it would go. I'm not even sure the tour was as extravagant. The say BTW sold less than TF. But how much? I dunno do you say Ga's loosing it or will she come back with another spectacle in 3 years?

Nowhere near a Gag fan, but one could argue she already has returned with the Tony Bennett duet album. Sure she's not shaking her titties and wearing a radiation suit or making out with a fish-alien, but she's actually using her talent for something meaningful.

.

But who really wants that? Btw my favorite "controversial" Gaga is "Fat Touring Gaga", "how'd she get fat on tour? she's just that controversial."

.

Getting a bit tired of people saying Gaga is loosing it. I'm not even a fan, but it feels like people really want her down. According to Wiki her last tour is mostrly sold out, not sure if those figures are correct but i think she's doing still pretty well.

Artpop wasn't a "bad" album in my opinion, it just had a lot of filler to me.

I actually like a lot of Gaga's output. The Fame album, and The Fame Monster EP are 2 of the best pop albums in the past 15 years. I liked Born This Way but it, like Artpop had a lot of filler to me.

had Artpop had a slightly smaller tracklist, something like this:

Aura

Venus

G.U.Y.

Sexxx Dreams

MANiCURE

Do What U Want

ARTPOP

Swine

Fashion

Dope

Gypsy

Applause

Thats a solid album.

Same with Born This Way, had the BTW tracklist been a littler shorter, It would have been much stronger too.

Marry the Night

Born This Way

Goverment Hooker

Judas

Americano

Scheiße

Bloody Mary

Heavy Metal Lover

Electric Chapel

You and I

The Edge of Glory
