I understand the appeal of streaming, but I prefer downloading songs because I don't have unlimited data so I can't listen to streaming music when I'm out (commuting, shopping, etc) in places that don't have wi-fi. 

How does people stream a lot, I'm curious. Just by being in places with internet? Clearly I'm still clueless about this 

Well with apple music when you listen to the song the first time t stays "downloaded" even if u dont download it on our device in the cache memory so it doesnt use internet after the first time + lots of carriers now offer illimited data for streaming

But if Troy Carter still works at Spotify, then Gaga will never be a streaming force :-)

Oh, most phone companies offer that as well in Canada. Maybe in the future I'll consider it cause I'm picky with music

This is such a stupid excuse for Gaga releasing uneventful, bland and boring music.

Once when she will return to fun, good quality pop music she will be big again. And no, I am not thinking that she should follow these new trends because this new pop music is bad. 

Just Dance still sounds better and more futuristic than anything what is played on the radio.

Still gonna illegally download most of my music.

Tbh this. Joanne is great but she needs to bring back that music that had the perfect balance of "super amazing but can only be done by Gaga"

Then release Dancin' In Circles as the 3rd single and make yourself relevant in streaming.

This was just... Ew.

I really hate streaming.....it's the reason why **** music is so popular right now........

Welp...

I have mixed feelings. It's great we have more access to millions of songs and full albums, essentially for free or for the cost of one album.

But I think this means that we won't get any more "iconic" or generation defining artists, since I don't think many will be sticking around for long.

Because one hit wonder garbage will be #1.

Gaga better step up her game.....

Sis, do your homework: there was a fun album full of high energy bops called ARTPOP that was supposed to be the "sister of TFM" and look how it did: it was both a critical and commercial disappointment. Joanne has been better received and will outsell it eventually.

Gaga has to follow her guts, that's how she'll keep being successful.

Streaming killed the Video Star...

But DIC can save Gaga's streaming power
