Hmmm. Usually artists who are done and dusted don't have the #1 selling album in the country. Just sayin'.

Oh, okay. You were just joking. Cool.

Sometimes I think people overestimate the desire for sales and over-the-top popularity. She's already been there and can never top the record-setting sales she had. However, it has afforded her the opportunity to make the music she wants to make for the rest of her life.

It's interesting. I think Lorde is okay, but I just don't hear what others here when they expect something incredible from her.

Agreed. I actually like St. Vincent but see that statement as ridiculous.

How did you arrive at that?

I'm enjoying the album very much. Gaga has been and continues to be an interesting artist whose path I enjoy giving attention. The music quality far surpasses that of most Top 40 popstars …and i think she'll be around for decades.
