Charts Discussion - Yes it’s going Top 5, more likely than not Top 3

[ThisGuyTony 29,054]

Gaga will be the first main pop girl to have a top 5 hit in the 2020 decade. We love to see it.

An Ari collab would be so embarrassing. Imagine having a random album track with more streams than the actual singles.

I meant in New Zealand  Yeah, regardless if it's relevant or not, it's still super important for monsters to buy it

LOL sorry. Yeah...it's honestly not even a stan thing, but I wish people would buy more than stream. I get the money issue (and I understand it), but if people can afford it buying is just better for multiple reasons. The streaming industry rips off so many artists....Gaga/Ariana/etc. can deal with being ripped off, but singers with moderate (and less) levels of success get screwed. One of the guys from The New ****ographers said he made less than a dollar from Pandora for the first quarter of the year.

Is iTunes there still relevant?

No, not really. Spotify, and to a lesser extent, Apple Music are much more relevant here than iTunes. Million Reasons used to chart fairly well on NZ iTunes but then it never actually entered our official top 40 chart. Shallow also did really well on NZ iTunes, but didn't even chart until the film came out because its Spotify and AM numbers here were low. It was only after the film's release that Shallow got a lot of traction on streaming, which then pushed it to number 1.

Is she a MPG tho?

[shane_c 480]

I wish this had a hamsters commercial, that would guarantee  that it'd be  a big hit. Its a perfect song for that.

I get it, but it would be good for Gaga in terms of sales and press...and she needs it as it's an ageist industry and pop is halfway dead. A top ten hit with SL (possible even top 5) and a #1 with Ariana (plus a #1 album) would solidify her power for the next few years.
