Gaga officially at #13 in the midweek update!! Up ten places from Friday!

I'm feeling pretty damn patriotic today.

We were so close though! #13 is so brilliant, let's hope we can get that final push. 

Tbh I think unless streaming gets a move on and we push higher than lingering around at the bottom of the top 50 like we have the past few days, we will probably finish at #11-#15 this week. It's still great, but I'm concerned that they will remove the discount on Friday and she will drop next week  We can only pray that R1 acknowledge the serious jump on the chart this week and factor that in when they playlist on Friday, and a video in time for next week would be wonderful.

3rd spin yaaas

Yasssss I hope they keep the discount until the song peaks in the top10 TBH. Finally an britain recognition 

[Gagamel 3,410]

She could actually go top ten in the UK this week slay

[LetsGetHigh 52,683]

How can it be increasing if the sales are definitely lower?

Man mess, streaming is so weighted this is DISGUSTING. But anyway, amazing that it has shot up so much. 👏

This is really the first legit hit we've been able to track in the UK since 2013. So exciting. PI dropped straight from the release, MR had a bit of a bump when she promoted but nothing really. Watching something with the potential to ascend week on week is so nice.

The play this morning shows they're trying it, it's a guessing game really. It could be big, or it could drop off completely. All depends on R1 support, streams and how much Interscope decide to make it a hit in the UK

Honestly it's so weird to even be talking about UK charts and Gaga, it's been so long since she's had a hit here.

Well it also has a full week rather than 4 1/2 days like last time. So it is competing at the same level as other songs. And the streaming stats now are far far better than they were at this point last week.

I'm new to this and I didn't think I would find it so exciting- god it's addictive though.

Radio Reporter added her, top20 in the country. Tomorrow it's add day for RTL, hoping a good luck

It's tricky because we have no idea how many new releases R1 will decide can fit on their playlist. And the odds are stacked against her. Shawn Mendes' new single has stormed in at #5 on this update. Lana is only at #30 but she's playing Big Weekend, so those two seem more likely than TC at this point. It's gonna be tricky.

But if the discount goes this week and Radio 1 pay it dust again, we better hope to hell that Capital and Kiss play the **** out of it next week and the streams improve drastically, or it will certainly fall from this week again.
