some remix albums have had huge successes!! such as Michael Jacksons Blood On The Dancefloor(7 million ww.) and Madonna's You Can Dance(6 million ww.) being the most historically relevant.
we also have Janets remix album in 1993 and also j Lo had some success with remix albums, Kylie also has had a few successes in the UK with remix albums.
so Gaga's remix album has no excuse really, and if it flops then well that's down to the overall success of the singles and promotion as well as popularity, i have no idea why it's dropping so much really i would have thought loads would have bought it, people used to go crazy for them! still it may ship a few 100,000 across the globe by the years end.
who knows?!? i havent bought it yet as i have several other albums i am saving up for, may buy it later in the summer or something (waiting for Christina's Bionic,Scissor Sister's Night Work,Robyn's Body Talk, Janelle Monae's Archarchroid and MIA's new album...and Kylie's for my mummy!
