JerellM 1,496 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I find it really funny really really funny how the little monsters were begging and pleading for gaga to turn around her streaming numbers and now that we're finally getting impressive streaming numbers people are complaining that she's not doing as good on iTunes . Studies have shown in the past years that iTunes is not relevant anymore especially for the song to chart and we need to stream stream stream and the cure was the perfect song to turn on her streaming numbers to cure has done more for her strength in numbers (streaming ) then the whole joanne era combined . don't get me wrong I love the Joanne album and I love million reasons and yes Million reasons established her as one of the biggest artist of 2017 and the female artist of 2017 but it was not a streaming force and in order to be successful in this day in age you have to have a song that is going to be a hit in streaming just like Katy wouldn't be as relevant as she is right now if it wasn't for our Prism era which had a lot of hits the did very very well as far as streaming goes. The little monsters stop being so upset and mad and having meltdowns over her iTunes positions because iTunes really in this day and age doesn't matter let's focus on streaming and radio we're getting massive updates on Rafio and it hasn't even been impacted radio . The radio is going to affect her streaming . The more people listen to it on the radio the more it will be streamed . Shes already getting 1.5 m updates on Spotify and she's going to get up there . The cure is single-handedly making her a streaming force and since the cure release she getting more of the Gp and her spotify page went up in 400,000 followers . All hail "The Cure " 👏👏👏👏😱😱👏👏😱😱 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 One day in the Global Top 50 chart isn't being a streaming artist, girl please. It's great that her streaming is picking up but her team must still push it in sales and radios. Let's not sugarcoat stuff, she's already #24 on iTunes because her team removed her banner and Hot Tracks for no apparent reason when they should've kept it until radio impact date at least. But I do agree with you, I'm so glad her team finally realizes the power of streaming. Just hope they don't let go of sales now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GANJA 167 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 One second I'm not streaming, then suddenly they're streaming me. A truly reverse Spotifian experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about "sugarcoating" anything, just acknowledging the fact she's FINALLY gaining traction on streaming which is much more important than digital sales nowadays...

OBEY 57,109 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 GGD 2 weeks ago : Who cares about streaming?

A few weeks ago, people were also complaining about Rihanna having better chart-runs than Gaga on the Hot 100 thanks to streaming, despite having lower iTunes positions. Gaga is finally heading towards this status as well, which IS definitely a GOOD thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVeryGagaHolyDick 25,680 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a hit. Interscope seems to have well thought this one, they will spend money on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 49,824 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Sales are still relevant enough that it makes some impact. MR only went #4 because of post SB week sales. Yes streaming went up that week too but nothing extraordinary to put the song in top 10 and it was still struggking on radio at the time so sales do still matter However its true its a smaller piece of pie than streaming and dropping every year. Eventually sales will be totally irrelevant i just dont think were there yet tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
