ArtGagaPop 61,940 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Because 2011 was a easier time for anyone with a big fanbase to debut high with a new song. Sales had much more impact back then and streaming was less important(don't counted towards offical charts at all?). Teog also debuted at number 3 as a promo single which become it's peak even before it was made a offical single(after debut week it "only" managed to climb back to number 6 and stayed there for much of the summer). Gaga is still strong in pure sales and first week numbers but since streaming have took over since 2011 and she is less popular there, although her spotify grew alot with MR+The cure. So that's why she strugles to debut to these high numbers nowdays. 30 minutes ago, Funkymonkey said: but Dop wase #8 because of streams right?

If DWUW had been peformed instead and used as a add it could possible hit top 5 instead the 13 peak we got Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to discredit Gaga but Dope hitting #8 was because of YouTube counting the live stream and then the way it forced people to watch it long enough to count as a stream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeo 2,366 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 The real question is How Speechless went #92... and not even released as a promo single n kidding but yeah Promo singles were huge back then... sales were everything about charts so... If it was today, Gaga would probably still having a "better" chartrun since she still selling "A lot" on digital... but streams.... Spoiler and radios... damn radios Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
