OH SHIT it's out lolol Gonna get it tomorrow

Oh I forgot to say it's not out everywhere, just Japan, some European countries, and NYC (it's an event or something).
Worldwide release is still 11.11 haha

AH LOL thanks for that :)

I'm happy to be a Finn lol. I might get this by Monday♥ Then I will blast the hell out of it for sure. :)

I already got it via iTunes and I don't really like much of it, it's even weaker than it sounded from your critics...

She's currently #1 with 34,518.

Is the sales consider good for an English language album in Japan nowadays?

Yes it is. I mean, it's much much less than Born This Way sales, but she had promo and a huge lead single back then. She's currently outselling Avril Lavigne, who is huge in Japan, and she will debut at #1, not very common for an english album there. :)

Oh that's cool! Yeah I still remember Born This Way was huge when it released in Japan, but sales changes according to time and promotion too.

If I'm not mistaken Utada's Exodus is still the highest selling English album in Japan? Or the record has been broken?

I don't know, I didn't even know about Utada's record! But it makes sense, the album may be in English but she's a japanese singer, and a very successful one

Wait so the album is coming out worldwide on Monday? I thought American releases in regards to CDs always come out on Tuesdays?

meh whatever so excited to buy this shit. I haven't heard anything except for Applause, Do What U Want, and Venus.

I'm officially disappointed with this album. I like only Do What U Want, Applause, Artpop.

^Same less Applause. The whole thing was a mess, music was generic and out of date sounding and the singing was just terrible - sounded more like yelling in some weird style of rap than singing.

Yes, it is so messy and cheesy compared to her first two albums (which I love btw)

I think I really only like Jewels and drugs. Just because I don't think she's really done a real hip hop song before. Paper gangsta and starstruck kinda played with the idea, but not really. But other than that, I don't really care for the album. :/

So I played venus in the car today and loved it. It's very good and I don't know why people dont like it, and I'm the guy who cares about how a song SOUNDS.

^ I like Venus, but it doesn't flow well and the production is poor.

I listened to this album twice, because at first I thought it was a huge mess. Unfortunately I haven't changed my mind, Artpop IS a mess. It's a decent pop album but anything special neither.

There are some catchy and good tracks though. Venus is my favourite, along with Aura. Too bad the album version sounds so flat compared to the powerful demo version.
Do What U Want and Swine are really catchy as well. And I've been obsessed with Donatella lately, even though it bugs me how Gaga mispronounce Versace :laugh.
