Lady Gaga's 'Perfect Illusion' Headed for Possible Top 20 Debut on Hot 100

[hijadeputa 3,933]

I'm sad tbh... We all can now hope for a top 15 debut and that it's a grower... Which I think it is tbh. It's growing on me and on radio it's only rising, MV out in a couple weeks, have hope little managers! coming for that #1!

It should be about the music not the charts. A song that's #1 or #32 doesn't change anything sonically. Some of you fans 

Are you directing that message to me? because I obviously say the same as you

I don't think people remember that she hasn't been in the mainstream music industry for the past 3 years—and even then, I'm sure most of the GP doesn't know much about ARTPOP, so their last permanent recollection of Gaga could be as far back as BTW.

Considering these circumstances, I think it's great. Obviously, Gaga doesn't really care about the charts and has decided to make music because it's her love and her passion. Instead of us worrying about how/when it's going to debut, how about we just listen and enjoy then music?

EDIT - Also, what I'm trying to say is that we've waited for a single/album for so long, and know we have it, and now some of us feel like she's obligated to give us a #1 hit. She isn't obligated to give anyone anything. Enjoy the music for what it is, and if it's not your cup of tea, then maybe wait until the next one. 

The fact that so many of us only seem to care about the charts is unsettling. 

STOP MAKING SO MUCH SENSE

Stop acting like any other lead would have debuted better. Any Gaga song is not going to debut big anymore. She just needs to be like any other artist and get an actual hit based on steady gains in AirPlay. All there is to it. This won't be its peak.

I just want it to get to number 1 so little managers will enjoy the song finally 

 

Lmao Just so they can shut the f*ck up, right? I agree. 

[Decodekid 28,168]

wow

this is site is ****ed up

Can you all just accept the fact that Gaga will not be like she was in 2010/11 anymore, guys nothing last forever, maybe artists like Rihanna keep getting those #1 but that's because her music is basic and the same thing over and over. It feels as if you only love gaga when she's at the top of the charts, that's so sad

This doesn't make sense. The streaming alone is over 12 million, just with the YouTube audio. What the hell is going on?

the 6m streams is in the US alone. the 12M YouTube figure represents worldwide streams.

[Werk 13,166]

I was right! It would debut somewhere in the top 20 at least

The truth is she deserves more success than Halsey and that's just the way it is

it's not right that she loses to her

This is not a focking contest...

US monsters, stop posting meltdowns in this thread and stream it.

and buy it.

[River 116,228]

Tell me when was the last time that Beyonce had a #1...

Even Madonna is not #1 anymore..

Every legends is not #1 because the #1 spot is for the basic songs.

[Friendonkey 138]

It's most likely going to peak the first week too... this era is going to be a disaster.

[fede ARTPOP 6,737]

Charts and sales are not important not even meaningful, see Closer being #1 on US, and the song is forgettable and random compared to Gaga catalogue...

I dont love PI as all previous Gaga leads, but I know is a great single and some fans seems to love it, im sure the video will make it better, and Gagas live performances even more...

After all being a Top20 is ok, wasnt expecting this for "Gagas comeback single" but is ok...I cant wait for LG5 any longer.

should have released a better song  oh well just give us the damn album already
