Juanlittlem 45,824 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Just got a reply from UK's store since they were doing refunds from the album and they said: "Your order is pending. This order is due to be released on the 10th of April 2020." So let's hope they keep the release date. Estàvem al cel, ara estem a l'infern Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is Gaga fans will physically buy the album and there IS GP hype for LG6, believe it or not. Her monthly listeners on spotify are at an all time high (higher than at Shallow's peak post Oscars). Physicals are a component to Gaga's first weeks. Interscope recognised that and it's why there's so many different physical versions of Chromatica, why target has their special edition. If people don't have jobs or in lockdown why would they purchase her album? I very much worry about what's gonna happen with the April release date Stare at the Chartster in the mirror they talk to me too. #StreamFunTonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought digital sales were the biggest component for Gaga. Sure, the lack of physical CDs in stores and people shopping will cause the total number of pure sales to go down. Hopefully physical sales comprise only 30% or so of pure sales, the rest are digital. That way, the recent increases in streaming should be enough buffer. Do we have any numbers for how many CDs and vinyls ASIB sold in week 1 vs how many digital sales?

Also, this applies to both The Weeknd and Gaga. Gaga will still have slightly more sales, likely from digital sales, because she has a crazy fanbase. And those will be enough points to give her the boost she needs. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they are focusing on physicals, shows that its a component to Gaga's first weeks. There's also reports that bundles with tours are going to be effect by what's happeningm Let's be realistic about the April date as it stands instead of reassuring ourselves it isn't going to effect Gaga. it will.

Gaga isn't the weeknd she doesn't even have a quater of the streaming power. she has a fanbase yes but that can only take you so far. she ain't touching 200k as it stands. Even if she goes 120k the weeknd could still catch her.. Im just trying to be realistic!

Every artist has been doing lately including Taylor. It's just the popular thing to do. They never did any such thing with Joanne... they knew back then what worked for her too. 2 minutes ago, Genuine Guy 09 said: Let's be realistic about the April date as it stands instead of reassuring ourselves it isn't going to effect Gaga. it will.

It will affect Gaga and her numbers. I dont think it'll cost her the #1. The total units, yes. Taylor yes, she will have better physical sales along with Gaga. The next issue is 0 promo. Along with the physical editions, Gaga's promo runs are always geared towards older people. She does performances and TV shows. If she can't do that then she cannot reach the correct audience for her. The Weeknd and dua don't have any problems, because they are liked by Gen Z who wouldn't watch the shows that the artists promote on. All the playlists are dua and weekends strengths and that works out for them. Gaga won't be able to suddenly rely on a Gen Z marketing strategy I really hope I'm proved wrong and everything goes along fine but Gaga works hard and deserves to do well. I'll stop arguing now Stare at the Chartster in the mirror they talk to me too. #StreamFunTonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
