I LOVE GGD

The double standard jumped out. The album has some good songs but I dislike so much how a male artist can put mediocre stuff (not saying Abel did) and get praised from critics yet a female artists has to literally have every song to be "single material" or the album would be tarnished and the songs called fillers.  But hey congrats to him. 

Though it would be nice to see how many of those music critics are male vs female and their age range to get a broader perspective on how they would qualify something in a certain scale of quality.

Chromatica won't be near these numbers, don't even close. It's sad but realistic, Abel has been promoting this album since Heartless/Blinding Lights dropped, he has been on TV and Blinding Lights is a stable hit, unlike Stupid Love which is sadly going down day by day on streaming and only radio is appreciating it, but that isn't enough. The world knew Abel was coming with a new album because he dropped two singles, one went #1 the other became a smash with good sings of longetivity, also, the promo he's been doing is great, it didn't seem forced at all, he just went to some shows to perform and talk about the album and that's it. Gaga on the other hand has done nothing but put a few billboards across USA and UK.

As much as I hate to say this, I think Gaga just doesn't care about promoting this album for some reason, at least the first single, now we are three weeks away from it and we still don't know nothing, she hasn't even been online, and she has no excuse now, she's on her home everyday like the rest of us taking care of herself, and I don't know why is it THAT hard for her to come online and just talk to us for a minute, I know she has a lot of fans who criticize the **** out of her but then there are MILLIONS who love her, support her and see her as a human being rather than a machine, and that's the only thing I can say I hate about Gaga right now, she just doesn't care about us anymore, at least not like she used to, which seemed genuine and wholesome. So yeah, besides, the GP isn't that much for her right now, and unless she does something these three weeks, I don't see Chromatica debuting with great numbers.

We are in a viral pandemic, where do you want her to go at this time? On top of that her label is the absolute worst. They are probably working behind the scenes for all we know. Still figuring out if they wanna release the album in the 10th or pospone it. Probably that's why they aren't hyping it.

Its not even that good, I mean... I love him but it has only 4/5 good tracks. Other ones sound like an unique filler... I expected sm better. Anyways “In Your Eyes” will be another top 5 hit.

Agree. Faith is a powerful one too ❤

70k? Gaga is an album artist, I cannot see nothing less 300k on a debut.

You're in for a rude awakening, then  :air: She won't bomb but 300k is out of reach. 150-200k if the Ariana collab does so-so and maybe 200k+ if it does well.

Agreed but people will also watch youtube more so if she has an incredible video with replay value that will help.

They really don't and replay value means nothing in 2020...

Blinding Lights is the #1 song in 20+ countries (overall the biggest in the world by far) and yet the video has only 63 million views in two months. YouTube is dead for western artists now and Gaga is no exception no matter what she does lol. Other services are more important and YouTube counts very little for the charts now compared to 2013-2018.

I agree, but I think he makes good quality creative music. I would be mad if it was a crappy mumble rapper, or an autotune to death fake singer, but The Weeknd deserves it. He works hard for his music, and he's Febreeze to the ears. He's definitely the best thing of our generation if u compare with the dramatically crappy artists who make songs after songs in 5 min top chrono in their studio.

I don't know if I would call the SL Video incredible... It has good choreography and I like her pink hair but other than that it looks like a cheap low budget video :emma:

Yes it's mediocre at best. I said IF so I'm referring to the next single

It's not a female vs male thing. Ariana and many other R&B/hip hop leaning female artists get the same benefit. It's usually female pop stars who have to have AMAZING work to get an 80+

Chromatica is getting 75 at best. I'm calling it now.
