So MR top 5 on Digital, #30 on Hot 100

Digital 18. Migos - Bad And Boujee (faet. Lil Uzi Vert) | 35,000 (-13%)

#2 on Hot 100

lolilol I hate streaming

Streaming really f*cked up the Hot 100. Sometimes I feel like that especially YouTube streams should have never been counted towards the Hot 100 in the first place.

we won't be saying this if gaga is a streaming force tho.. lol

Love On The Brain is so weird, I can't!

She is like 25 on digital songs

She doesn't have any kind of video

Number 3 on Radio Overall.

If she had a video, she would peak at top 5 or maybe top 3? 

[FRANZGA 13,920]

wish i could turn back time tho and tell billboard to add streaming in the charts, even like 10% influence so BR or even TEL could've hit that no.1

and based on the initial reactions to PI, the world was ready for a new Gaga dance-hit specifically. Imagine if MR was released with that anticipation by the GP in mind. She would bomb even more.

OT: I'm so happy MR is doing well

We can agree go disagree I guess, this conversation is kinda pointless anyway  

But MR would have been a hit if released as the lead   

[Gypsy Life 118,907]

54k sales / 5M streams / 40M audience this week

= 149 points.

Which would put it at #29 (+1) this week without counting new releases that will debut top 30, so best case would be #33. 

I also assumed that we'll continue with 1M+ radio updates for 7 more days. 

[Decodekid 28,396]

Do any of you guy listen to Sirius XM Hits 1? that station is Payola at its peak. They still play Love Yourself, and some random songs from One Direction, like bitch.

I'd be saying it regardless because I'm not a fan of streaming, and I was not a fan of the inclusion of it in certifications, even when it mean that Bad Romance was Diamond.

I thought it would climb  oh well

Y'all are delusional if you think Interscope and her team are ignorant of the streaming situation.  But even if payola to Spotify was a legitimate thing, what is the gain for Interscope?  Pay 100k to Spotify for what?  They get virtually no money return from Spotify so it would be considered a marketing expense. Will they sell enough additional copies of MR or Joanne to justify the cost?  Probably not.  Additional tour money?  Already sold out. Outside of bragging rights there is little reason to justify a ton more investment it seems to me.

They don't report audience impressions and are irrelevant for the Hot 100 though.

Wtf so many pages in such short amount of time

TOP 30 is quite decent for MR this week  

Anyway, I know it's so boring to say it over and over and over again but..... DIC is the only song I want as the third single. A-Yo definitely has potential, but I feel like it's kinda 'over', in a way that it was already performed multiple times, the audio is there, they even tried sending it to radio. So I kinda feel going back to it wouldn't do much for the song, nor for the album.

The gp needs something fresh and new from Gaga, they are slayed with her ballad power, now it's time to experience her DIC power once again

If they remove the discount, it might start climbing 3 or 4 weeks from now. If not, it can climb next week. Not much though. Like +1.

Good point. Streaming at this point does help her remain in the public's radar since the industry is transitioning to streaming over sales. So it would help her into the future eras.
