We're used to disappointment and having our hearts broken, so I think it's a defense mechanism. We'd rather be pleasantly surprised than crushed.

THAT SAID, remember when a lot of us thought Joanne was DEFINITELY losing the #1 spot to Michael Buble? And not only did we get #1, but we surpassed several rounds of initial predictions (of like 140K, 170K, etc.) and ended up at 200K+. So you are right, we underestimate her power, and I think we will end up surprised. We've also never had studio movie-level promotion for an album before.

yeah, we can relate... but fearing to go below 75k SPS is too much I guess...

I understand tho cause we haven't got OST Album before but this is no ordinary OST Album release.. We have a legit musician and released along with movie not a week before.

I agree! I don't think there's any real fear of the album debuting with less than 75K. But my guess is it's a worry because of the "newness" of the situation (it being a soundtrack, it not being a traditional Gaga album, it not having a lead single etc.) I think something like The Carters' flopping, even though it was a collab album featuring two of the biggest stars on the planet, adds an element of fear. It's not *really* relatable, but the superficial connection of "Well, it's kind of a Beyonce album..." shook people a little.

now that you mention it.. suddenly I'm afraid 

but I believe the OST is a masterpiece and hope it'll resonate to the moviegoers.. and since this is all new to Gaga, it's safe to play safe.. I get y'all sissies but this is GGD, no one will drag us here. but seriously, ASIB OST doing less than 100k SPS debut will be TRAGIC

The Carters didn't have a movie playing in theaters 24/7 that basically acts as a 2-hour ad for the album in an era when soundtracks are *killing it*. So that's our secret weapon. (The Carters also didn't have a full tracking week, was a surprise drop, was not very good... etc.)

Not to jinx anything, but I think ASIB will be her biggest album since BTW, and it could be even bigger if things work out. I am not worried. But I get the nervousness some of us have about its release and chart positions etc.

I think the soundtrack is gonna do really good, even if it doesn't debut at #1 (it has like a 50% or 60% chance to debut at #1 in my opinion) It'll still have longevity and most probably ending up selling great overall, which will be still amazing on itself

Just bought Vanity Fair Italy with BradGa on the cover and it's really beautiful

[little legend 0]

so i showed the trailer and critics from ASIB to two friends that they hate Gaga and they said that it looks amazing and we will go to see the movie together

 

this movie will do wonders for her career and make GP love her again
