Yes! She'll surpass 50k. I hope the album can sell more than 250k overall, considering she usually has a lot of longevity.

It seems that Gaga will perform the entire ARTPOP starting in 10 minutes.

G.U.Y. is the only reason that I wanted this album to really exist. It's so damn catchy.

Oh she performed only a few songs, almost the same as iTunes festival :(
disappointed even though it was good

I want DWUW to have some nice choreography, especially for the chorus, I don't want her just to walk aroudn the stage every performance... It's like she forgot what makes a performance good. Her vocals are amazing though

Ugh! I really didn't like Venus when it came out but during a walk this evening someone mentioned that a bright star in the sky could actually be the planet Venus and I started singing the entire song word for word because it got stuck in my head xD I had only heard the song twice at that point. Damn good job, Gaga. It may be a mess of a song but it gets stuck in your head quick and won't let go. She's really talented at making the catchiest music, even if it sucks lol.

I GOT MY COPY TODAY! It was the limited edition with the itunes festival DVD, so worth the money! :love

I didn't get my copy yet but it's ok. I can wait a little bit longer♥

it may top 60k on the first week.

Its out today in Canada and US!!

Btw, HMV lists a Fan Pack edition in North America that comes with the Deluxe Edition of the album and a tshirt. Does anyone have pictures of this edition? I wanna see the tshirts SOOOOOOO BADLY!!!

I liked the album! It wasn't mind-blowing or anything but Lady Gaga definitely offered up a lot of great music to listen to.

My favorite tracks are "Aura", "Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)", "Donatella", "Gypsy", and "Applause". The only songs I don't like are "MANiCURE" and "Swine".

I'm sooo broke til Thursday, so I have to wait til then til I can go get my copy. :(

Wish I could just walk into the store, grab it and say "I'll be back on Thursday to pay you for it" without getting in trouble from Mall Security or the police. LOL

Sexxx Dreams and G.U.Y. grew onto me, and I'm somewhat liking Venus. But Do What U Want is definitely my favorite song on the album.

My friends list on facebook is going crazy for this album.

Perfect album tbh, on repeat for days

ARTPOP is officially #1 on Oricon with 58,493 copies sold on its first week.

I think Do What U Want is my favorite too! Such a flawless song. But all the songs are great tbh, I only skip J&D and sometimes Swine and Dope.
