#5 - Shallow (+2)

Hmmm... it has risen a lot on all streaming platforms. If Grammy's actually have an impact in France, than maybe we can finally have another peak...

what happened now again that shallow is getting such a huge DG?  

SNL parody last night, americans waking up and buying the song. Also maybe grammys pre hype.

I love how no other nominated Grammy song is rising.

I’m not getting my hopes up so much for ROTY and SOTY but you know what would be really bad? Gaga being used to promote the show itself and giving her heart out on that stage for the fifth year in a row (even receiving backlash for the Bowie tribute and compromising her health for being there last year) and losing Visual Media to “last year Oscar winner” or Pop/Duo to Girls Like You just because it was a smash and it features the hit girl of the year. Sadly there’s a chance for this scenario to happen, and that would be really sad. 

Yeah that will be bad. HOWEVER she is not "used" to promote the show. She is NOMINATED so it makes sense for the Grammys to promote her. The Grammys dont own anything to Gaga. If she goes there 5 years in a row to perform is because she wants and she can. They are not obligated to give her awards just because of that

Yes, cuz we'll be so proud our girl has finally won a GF 

Yes it works both ways, we are either gonna cry because she will sweep and have her most iconic award show night since VMAs 2010 or cry because she loses every single award

Before I Cry was a wasted opportunity tbh. It would have shined a lot more if it were released as her solo work.

* Waiting for Admin to come in here and say the song should never have existed and post on twitter " Fun fact, Before i Cry is the only song from A Star Is Born who have yet to pass 20M streams on Spotify"

Shallow looks like such a obvious grammy sweeper much more now then 1 month ago. It's sad the votings ended so long ago otherwise i think she might have 4 grammys on lock 

[Gypsy Life 118,907]

55% lead in Australia

Shallah has so many awards that I would not mind a lost at the Grammys. But if the good old sista Joanne (WDAJNBCHKIYGVKKLPOJ) wins, I’ll be so happy that I could die. 

[Swallow 12,052]

such a shame the Grammy voting ended on Jan 9th and Shallow is having so much impact in the last couple of weeks 

[BrickMonster 2,810]

if she could win just ROTY or SOTY and i'd be happy. the optics of that to the GP would be great. could help pave mainstream success in her *hopefully upcoming* big new project - whatever that may be.

Post by nympho which, once again, proves Interflop is a flop

Shame that Billboard rounded the figures even more to just 1 decimal so we can’t see the increase from last year in many cases. 

I think it’s time Billboard starts including SPS totals for both albums and songs in these Ask Billboard recaps. 

And, by the way, are we sure these on-demand figures are audio only? Or they include YouTube as well? 
I think they do include video streams as well. That figure for BR seems too high for audio only considering it’s at 275M (global) on Spotify. 

Edit: They do.

“Currently, Billboard has two defined types of streaming plays for the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (and our other genre-specific hybrid songs charts): on-demand (such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube) and programmed (such as Pandora and Slacker Radio)”

So, only with songs from that article, 

Million Reasons: 
Sales: 1,100,000
On-Demand Streams: 234,000,000
=
2,660,000 
Still certified 1xPlat

Alejandro
Sales: 2,630,000
On-Demand Streams: 103,000,000
=
3,317,000
Still certified 2xPlat

Born This Way

=
5,353,000
Still certified 4xPlat

Telephone
Sales: 3,500,000
On-Demand Streams: <103 million
Certified 3xPlat
It needs at least 75 million streams to be 4xPlat eligible, which it has.

LoveGame
Sales: 2,670,000
On-Demand Streams: <103 million
Certified 2xPlat
It needs at least 55 million streams to be 3xPlat eligible, which I’m sure it has.

Always Remember Us This Way 
Sales: 248,000 
On-Demand Streams: 71,000,000

I'll Never Love Again
Sales: 226,000 
On-Demand Streams: 66,000,000
=
666,000
Not certified

Add to those MTN, that should be Platinum by now (certified Gold). 
Perfect Illusion, that should be Platinum by now (not Certified). 

Shallow it's close to 1.8 million SPS. It will be 2xPlat eligible in 2 weeks. 

She's at least 9 million undercertified, singles-wise, for RIAA.
Right now she has 61 million singles certified. 10th in the best digital singles artists list. 
With 70 million she'd climb to #6
