Like Gaga, Grande also socialized sale pricing offers. (Thank U did not dip to $2.99, as Stardid, as $3.49 is the minimum price for an album to chart during its first four weeks of release. The new chart reflects Thank U's third week of release.) He really hates her, no? Dreams of you and me are in the dirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Delicate. But radio has never guaranteed to play songs that do well on sales and streams. Shallow is a prime example. Delicate was 90% airplay fueled but that doesnt mean it was payola, it was just a radio friendly single from a radio friendly artist that programmers liked and it has great call out scores. But does the call out scores matter if the song already had a radio deal behind it? Plus I think it’s kind of contradicting that a song with good sales and streams are not played on the radio. But I guess that’s just how radio works in the US. Too much power in the hands of the programmers. Does it matter? Damage is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much power in the hands of the programmers. I mean yeah. Also radio deals only happen with lead singles. LYWMMD has a radio deal. As did Perfect Illusion. But it only lasts 1 day. And both songs had horrible call out scores and dropped off the pop chart quickly. And yes they have too much power and people confuse that with payola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViviLittleM 3 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Commercial performance A Star Is Born opened atop the US Billboard 200 with 231,000 album-equivalent units, including 162,000 pure album sales. It had the biggest overall sales week for a soundtrack in over three years, and is Gaga's fifth US number-one album as well as Cooper's first. Gaga extended her record as the female artist with the most chart-topping albums during the 2010s, breaking her tie with Taylor Swift. Beside its pure album sales, A Star Is Born earned 37,000 in stream-equivalent units and 32,000 from track-equivalent units.[28] The soundtrack spent a second week at number one there with 143,000 album-equivalent units (86,000 being pure sales), and became Gaga's second album to top the chart for two consecutive weeks after Born This Way (2011).[29] It then held the country's summit for a third week in a row with 109,000 equivalent units (61,000 pure sales), becoming the first soundtrack since High School Musical 2 in 2007 to top the chart for its first three weeks. Additionally, it became Gaga's longest running chart-topping album in the country.[30] A Star Is Born was displaced one week later by Andrea Bocelli's Sì.[31] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it Platinum for selling over a million album-equivalent units and had sold 780,000 copies (with 299,000 copies from digital downloads).[32][33] After an Oscars boost on the week ending March 9th, the soundtrack returned to #1 for a fourth non-consecutive week with 128,000 album-equivalent units (76,000 pure sales), becoming Gaga's longest running #1 album and the first soundtrack to do so since Frozen (soundtrack).[34] Look beautiful already.

I think looking at more countries than just the big music markets shows the relevance of her even more. Being successful in many countries is a bigger accomplishment than just succeeding in a few big ones! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanne did 650k pure. That's nice but like that album had like 2 good songs yikes.

And yes they have too much power and people confuse that with payola I think it can also come down to personal relations between certain DJs and labels and managers and artists etc. Like if I were a DJ and good friends with X artist I'd def play the X artist a little more than others.
