withjudas 166 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Any other UK  monsters really disappointed with the GP for not treating Gaga  better. Today she entered the UK Album Charts at number 3 meanwhile MR is slowly slipping down the charts. I totally get that she hasn't really done no promotion here but I get irritated when the UK is somewhere she always does several tour dates in and generally lots of performances I really think the US has much better tastes in music tbh.  I know music not the bling but some support where it's due would be nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,879 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Her entering at number 3 is not bad. She was up against Elvis (legend who also has a 14-album long #1 streak) and Michael buble who is pretty big in the UK and has the audience who buys rather than streams.

SlaeUrAnus 14,743 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Me. Heart and Capital pays her dust so much. I am fed up of the same playlists for Capital. Constant Justin and Drake. She would have been guaranteed a #1 if she performed on the X Factor or Graham Norton. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl 2,805 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The UK has a bit of tall poppy syndrome I think, its also common for people to only focus on what's 'new' 'upcoming' 'underground', Radio 1 basically pushes indie bands and songs down the public's throat. A lot of young people also like to follow the trends of their friends, gaga isn't popular amongst young people, nor older people, she's kind of stuck in the middle without a real audience here unfortunately.

TwerkinLurkin 4,764 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The UK is a flop lol jk But no I don't think we have better music taste at least not mainstream music taste I live in America and I haven't listened to the radio since 2012 that's how bad it is here lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelseaaaaaa 1,453 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 At least she's gonna do promo in the UK after Japan.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
withjudas 166 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I suppose 3 isn't terrible but I think she needed a 1. And I agree with you all, the UK is so 'lets be on trend and push dance because the kid's like it' and I think that's sad. Talent doesn't seem to win here  Ooo  I didn't know she was coming here after Japan. good to know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR performances in U.K will raise her profile significantly. Do you know that most music is bought by over 30s? This age group are more likely to buy a folksy ballad. It would be a win win if she got her ass here to promote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic 11,922 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I expected a #1 just because it has Lady Gaga attached to it but let's face it she hasn't been a force here in a long time. Still massively known and discussed but her music isn't that popular. The UK has always had such a quick turn-over and is usually ahead of a majority of trends but it seems they just aren't here for this trend. It doesn't help that Joanne feels very much like a US album, it's got the references to the US and it's also got the country influence. It might climb after more promo but I'm not banking on it. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke78619 22,398 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I am gutted TBH, but no one knows she's released an album apart from monsters. There's been close to zero promo here, she needs to do an X Factor performance insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
destinyofself 1,006 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 You can't blame the GP, I see some comments calling us brit's "flop fans", no, Gaga has done no promo here at all, debuting at number 3 is good. I do wish that she'd done Graham Norton and XFactor, I never expected her to debut at number 1, especially when Elvis Presley has an album out the same day, he has a HUGE following here in the UK!

PaperGypsy 462 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 i'd LOVE her to do the x factor here in the uk  will never forget watching her singing bad romance on it back in 2009! absolutely loved that performance and it was a really good series of the x factor in general tbh what kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?
