My Name Is Alice 277 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The hit that got away. I predict a resurgence from the song when it's nominated for an Oscar! Keep on streaming! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

androiduser 7,438 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 the theme song of one of the most successful movies in history not doing better than top50 is a surefire sign that the audiences didn't connect to it and it's not a hit at all. The song didn't do well anywhere really. Without the huge buzz of the movie, it wouldn't even crack the top100. Sorry guys, let's be real here. In fact, I think it's safe to say it's one of the worst performing theme songs from a successful movie, ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMonster 14,675 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I wish Gaga didn't release this to be honest. It was already too soon after 'Shallow', which should've really remained her only 'movie' song unless she had something seriously special up her sleeves. Which she maybe thought this was. But it wasn't/isn't. It's overdone and feels like quite a deliberate intention to top Shallow and have another go at creating an 'epic' movie theme... which she didn't need to do. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to you intended but the way your worded this came off as flamebaity and you got reported for it.... try to rephrase where possible because sadly it is flamebaity. On topic, the song is more of a grower and not a show-er, and also the Oscars haven't even happened yet for this song.... It did crack the Top 40 on the Global 200: source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_My_Hand_(Lady_Gaga_song) [37] Additionally, the song peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart, number 12 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay chart, and number nine on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[38][39][40] On the Billboard Global 200 chart, the song debuted at number 62 following its first full week of availability, and reached a peak in the top 40 at number 37.[41] Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster?

PeachJug 3,070 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I’m shocked that some of us dont seem to stand behind this song 😭 I’ve always loved it, it really fit the movie scene When she sang this at the end of the Chromatica ball, it was so raw and emotional and beautiful; i’ll never forget it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other artists are fair game. Reporting me won't make the song a hit. That wasn't the goal here, I think it wasn't necessarily what you said, you may very well be right... but *how* you said it. Another user, reported your comment for being unnecessarily negative. It would be easier to gently couch what you are saying with a preface, I'll show you. You know how it is, a spoon ful of sugar and all that. What you said: "The song is not a hit, it didn't do well, and for the theme song of one of the most successful movies in history, it did terribly." What you maybe could have said to not offend some people: I realize what I am saying may be hard for some fans to swallow, but the song is not a hit in the traditional sense, it didn't do very well, and for the theme song of one of the most successful movies in history, it did terribly, in my opinion. Just a gentle rephrase, is all -- and even that is a suggestion -- you don't HAVE to do it, don't worry! It's not too serious. We get a lot of flamebait reports. I mean at the end of the day, we just want everything to go well. Thanks for understanding Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.
