Bex Lightyear 229 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 SL debuting at #29 in Flanders is not bad considering they loathed Gaga when she released Perfect Illusion. Flanders' pop taste is influenced by one or two radiostations. There is this one big station Q-Music who did everything for PI to fail. I was so mad back then. They did like Shallow, so it got the attention it needed. I hope they play SL loads so people start respecting Gaga again (as being one of the biggest pop stars). Heard it once or twice already now. In Wallonia it debuted at #44. Glad I don't live in that part of Belgium. To explain: Belgium is divided in three parts. One part is Flanders (Dutch), one part is Wallonia (French) and then we have a third very small German part (I don't think they even have a separate chart system). EDIT: Oh yeah, Brussels (our capital) is a region too where they speak Dutch and French. So actually we have four parts. Haha https://www.ultratop.be/nl/ultratop50 Spoiler First single debuts, peaks and chartrun in Belgium Shallow FL: debut #47 - peak #8 - 40 weeks W: debut #31 - peak #2 - 38 weeks Perfect Illusion FL: debut #43 - peak #43 - 2 weeks W: no chartrun Applause FL: debut #14 - peak #10 - 10 weeks W: debut #5 - peak #5 - 17 weeks Born This Way FL: debut #2 - peak #1 - 17 weeks W: debut #3 - peak #3 - 19 weeks Bad Romance FL: debut #18 - peak #2 - 28 weeks W: debut #10 - peak #4 - 30 weeks Just Dance FL: debut #35 - peak #13 - 33 weeks W: debut #28 - peak #15 - 28 weeks There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
not Chromatica 5,393 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think most people are yet to become aware of the song. It's gonna be a slow-burner imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FameMonster01 6,980 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 What's the German part? I thought Belgium was divided in French and Dutch part + Brussels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown Away 5,218 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think it'll climb next week, it usually happens with singles from US pop stars here. The most recent example I can think of is Selena's Lose You To Love Me, it also debuted around the middle of the chart and then started climbing They shipped it, but it got shipped back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Belgium was divided in French and Dutch part + Brussels Brussels is situated in Flanders. But yes you are sorta right. Brussels is a region itself. But the chart in Flanders counts for Brussels too. It's complicated haha. In Brussels they speak Dutch and French. In Flanders Dutch and in Wallonia French. The part where they speak German is very small, but it's there. There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Belgium was divided in French and Dutch part + Brussels It's a small part, east of Liège. We actually got that part from Germany after WWII if I remember correctly. You are also right though. We have a Dutch and French district (Flanders and Wallonia) and the district of Brussels but Belgium is also divided into a Dutch community, French community and a German community + Brussels. We're a really weird country politically speaking. We also hold the record for longest period without a government because of the differences between the districts.

hausofcy 20,294 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 MNM is stanning it hard tho. It gets like 5-6 spins a day and is their big hit of the week. Q-music has been rather distant to everything gaga-related so the 2 spins a day she's getting are a good sign already. I can see it climb higher in the coming weeks.
