    it's plausible on a global level,most of gaga's fanbase seems to be based outside of the states so it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't bother promoting it extensively within the US.

    but yeah 25 mill is disgusting money to spend on a album.

    I bet interscope is still ahead off of every thing she has already done, even tho they just threw away 25 M's ..... but watch them get it back when she goes on tour .... or they'll just take it from their other artist

    Akon still won

    Only MJ, Quincy Jones, (circa 1982) and The Eagles can do those numbers. If push comes to shove all Gaga has to is do an MTV Unplugged, and she'll be back like "Jordan wearin' the 4-5." A Gaga Unplugged tape would probably at least go platinum.

    Payolla people. The original article has more details. Btw for those saying she was trying to do MJ numbers, the same article mentions MJ flopping on "Invincible" with a 30 mill budget. Adjust for inflation it's worse.

    examiner.com/article/interscope-loses-25-million-promotional-bet-on-lady-gaga-artpop-bomb
    So, how was the money spent? We talked to a music industry analyst (who wants to be referred to as 'Jacob' for this story), who has worked at both Warner Brothers and Arista over the past twenty years. He works closely with people from Interscope and told us that the past year has been a huge nightmare for Lady Gaga and Interscope.

    "She originally was going to have the album ready by last Christmas. They made her re-record it. When her tour wasn't selling, they invented a hip injury and told Gaga to go away for months so the public could be interested in her 'comeback.' After the lead single 'Applause' didn't get such a great reception, they made her re-record the album again. I hear that they allegedly paid radio stations in order to put the song at the top of their playlists," Jacob laughs.

    Besides the alleged payola, it is believed that a lot of money could have went to news outlets such as Billboard, Glamour, MTV, ABC and some others. "Cash gifts to news outlets really aren't unheard of, but Gaga has taken it to new extremes if this happened. Articles by many news sources sound like they were completely written by Gaga's PR team." He notes that Rolling Stone, a magazine that had usually praised Lady Gaga in the past, allegedly wouldn't accept the cash. Gaga's team was hoping Rolling Stone would put her on the cover and call her "Woman of the Year." Instead, the "honor" went to Glamour.

    To add fuel to the fire.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/30/lady-gaga-muppet-ratings-thanksgiving_n_4364050.html?ir=TV
    Turns out, Americans aren't really into watching Lady Gaga sing and dance with Muppets on Thanksgiving.

    Even with guest appearances from Sir Elton John, Kristen Bell, Ru Paul and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the holiday special flopped big time in the ratings.

    ? must be desperate at this point. She should just off herself so she can do Elvis numbers.

    She was riding that Euro Dance wave and everybody from Chris Brown to Pitbull took her thunder.

    Her target audience is growing up and their younger replacements are into Miley Cyrus, Swift, and Perry and her fleeting demographic moved on over to Adele, Queen B, and Ri....
