Economy 49,859 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ok so up until ARTPOP Canada probably has the best over-all singles chart history in the world. Every single either charted the same as in the US or higher. Even her #1s were there longer than in the US You and I was the only single to chart slightly lower than in the US but even so, it made it into the top 10 briefly Now for some reason Canada has been paying dust to her this era. Radio refuses to play MR, its not even in the top 50 on pop radio despite having pretty good sales on itunes and having gone #1 like 3 times (and we dont have the discount here) Will Canadian Radio finally pick up MR with the surge in US radio? After all our media is so interlinked. I wanna hear it on radio already so bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 46,482 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I don't think so unfortunately. I know Canada and the US are joined by the hip and their charts look very similar but this is one hit that I think Canada has moved on from. They gave it support sales wise but radio has refused to touch it and now that the single is relatively old I don't think it will just magically hop on it anymore simply because the Us is giving the song a chance now. Some hits are made to be local I suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baepsae 5,084 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I think so. I mean it's becoming more popular everyday. They would have to play it at least a few more times to see if it could work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hits are made to be local I suppose Its so dumb tho. It sold so well on itunes the first month and then after Victoria Secret and again after SB. Also i know ppl like it cuz ive seen non-Gaga fans share it on FB plus ive heard it play in stores and restaurants even some bars Yet not even top 50 on pop radio... I REALLY dont get it tbh.

Canada now has less top 10s than the US because of radio refusing to play it. and we were doing so good up till Joanne era. Even DWUW went #3 and MTN peaked at #11 and stayed in top 20 for a long time to give u an idea of comparing songs that kinda flopped in America Ever since G.U.Y everything just went downhill here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my country MR is #8 on the most popular music radio station in the country but nobody really pays attention to the song (at least that i know) because everyone is still boping to the same reggaeton type of songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny. Gaga was absolutely huge here first few years. Here in Canada Gaga did better than Katy Perry singles wise. Before JoanneAlmost all her singles went top 3 or top 4 (four of them went #1 for a total of 20 weeks when combined) only a few charted lower on top 10: MTN just missed top 10 at #11 Judas #8 You And I #8 Ironically tho i rarely hear her old hits now tho. Rihanna on the other hand, I keep hearing "only girl", "disturbia" and "SOS" on the radio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I love that song so im not complaining but its a good example Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
