Stef 61,598 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Honestly Gaga done a **** tonne of promo before the superbowl for that song and it barely made any significant impact on its chart performance. The fact it got exposed to 117 Million people in one go and only managed top 15 for one single week is tragic. But hey, it’s gonna be 2x platinum soon and will probably be Grammy nominated so there’s that Signature loading… 👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it could have done similarly but nobody can be sure This Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. People need to stop acting like 1 million sales in the US is anything to scoff at. It's 2017. Only 5 songs released in 2017 could do 1M.

The Child 18,997 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Honestly the music video ruined its momentum, I remember all the amazing performances she did prior to the music video and I would rather have any of those performances as the music video than the one we got. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If MR had the radio audience it had at its peak AND the sales/streaming it got the week of the super bowl it would have been #2 that week at least. Possibly #1 but I would need to see a points breakdown of that particular week's #1. It's massive sales and streaming rush it got that week was like 2 months before it actually peaked on radio.

Miel 15,009 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 While the Super Bowl shot its chart positions and sales exponentially, I feel like the steady, heavier promotion she did beforehand really kept the song as "the song that could". Up until the Halftime Show, charts were ugly, but sales were pretty impressive, and consistent. I personally view it kind of like a slow distance run, with SB51 being the sprint to the finish, with a quick cooldown run after. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
