BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Let’s say Gaga releases a new single, and it’s brand new, never heard. Do you just buy the song on iTunes and call it a day? Or do you go the extra miles to help the songs chart position? I usually buy the song on iTunes, and I make a Spotify playlist to help support the song, I leave it on a few hours a day, with some songs in between so it doesn’t count as spam. Then I replay the video on my tv so we can get those YouTube views. Also... I leave my Spotify playlist on all night while I sleep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Hollywood 37,363 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Normally, I buy it on iTunes and stream it as much as my heart desires on Spotify and YouTube. If I want to support it more, then I’ll get it from Gaga’s website in some form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWICE on hatius 4,746 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I bought ARTPOP 4 times despite that I considered it was one of the worst albums of 2013. Please ignore the spelling in username. I am a Beyonce stan afterall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG 7 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I purchase a physical copy of the album and stream it when it's out. I also watch her videos on youtube. At 20+ years I don't have time to sit around replaying videos/songs or spending my money buying many copies just for charts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doot 2 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I buy the vinyl, sometimes purchase a digital download, and then just stream it as normal. I don't do any of that insane stuff like "turning the volume down low and stuffing it into a drawer" like some do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceOfTheStorm 5,904 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Well if it means anything to help stream efforts edit: have had Spotify for 4 years since mid 2016 signing out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR 3,996 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I got a Spotify account just to stream Rain On Me, and I bought the single multiple times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast 26,289 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I am not dedicated to helping her, or anyone, chart. I mean, I want her to do well, but I don't have time to do all the tricks, plus I don't have Spotify (am trying the Apple Music free trial for Gaga Radio, but I'll cancel that after). I'm also not going to buy things just to help her numbers, because she's a millionaire and I'm not. Bottom line is, performing well on the charts is great, but it doesn't affect me that much (though I'll always be irritated that "Bad Romance" never went #1 in the US ). With Chromatica, I purchased it on iTunes, plus bought a physical CD that also came with digital access (and a "Z" art card, but we shan't talk about that). I've streamed some of the videos on YouTube, especially in the beginning when I wanted to help views for ROM and "Sour Candy." With "Stupid Love," I bought the single on iTunes when it came out (despite already having the leaked version), and I streamed it on YouTube a few times.

CHROMATICON 2,068 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I try my best to do everything I can. I buy her music and stream it. Y'all can say whatever tf you want about BTS stans but they've been working their asses off to get their faves, a Korean group, a #1 and it's about to happen, not to mention they are the biggest fandom and probably the strongest ever. I think this fanbase got really lazy, and I hate the "I'm not a kid anymore" or whatever, I'm not either, I'm 21 but everytime have time off I try my best to help my favorite artist chart cuz I know how much blood, sweat and tears she puts on her work.

StarstruckIllusion 52,267 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It varies but sometimes I make a playlist and follow all the rules kpop stans use, and leave it playing on devices I don’t use. Sometimes I watch the music video multiple times a day too. I did the mooosstttt for Rain On Me and Shallow and look how it paid off 😋😋 It’s really not that time consuming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 20,505 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Nothing. I'll buy the album if I like it, will stream the songs on Spotify/Youtube if I feel like listening to them, will watch the videos on Youtube when I feel like watching them. Like with any other artist. I don't want to contribute to making the numbers grow artificially. It would be nice if charting as a whole was representative of how many people actually like the music and listen to it, rather than showing how a specific portion of people just buy and stream multiple times to support the artist.

hELXIG 42,578 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 When Stupid Love came out I made a Spotify playlist with Stupid Love as every 3rd song, and other Gaga songs in between, and played it non stop for 2 days straight on my laptop just left it on while I was at work and had the volume down really low otherwise I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.
