Sometimes we throw around the words "aging poorly" like we're playing a game of rugby. Since when does streams  = aged poorly...?

I don’t think the song has aged at all! It is one of the best songs in her discography period. It is also extremely well known it just hasn’t received its viral moment to hit certain numbers for streaming. Also, part of the streaming numbers being lower is due to lack of playlisting.

not some of you disrespecting one of gaga's best songs

if there's anything wrong with it it's the fact that she doesn't perform the full album version anymore :crossed:

I’m sorry but I will not accept any slander on Gaga’s literal BEST song.

just because people don’t listen to it every day doesn’t mean the song is poor, becoming less popular, or less than in any way. It’s not like I listen to (any artist’s version of) “Over the Rainbow” every day, and that’s one of the greatest songs of all time.

it's one of those songs that sounds amazing when you listen to the album in full because it's part of the story, but when you listen to it by itself outside the context of the tracklist it's not as powerful. still one of her best though

The song is worse on the album IMO, by the time I get to it on the special edition I am DRAINED musically. Having The Queen + You And I RIGHT before it on the track listing I think is the problem.

This, like, are y'all joking? :excuseu:

The sax solo alone >>>> whole careers

I really wish she'd release a proper acoustic version though. It's always a huge moment in concerts and it went over better with the crowd during the JWT and TCB than it did in Enigma.

It is strange, but Gaga's residual streams in general are pretty low compared to her peers.. Katy is getting pretty much the same daily streams but she's been N/A for years

I think that’s because Katy entered the streaming era 2013/2014 in a great career high and Gaga entered it in a career low, eventually she increased those numbers but that little start bump is still present until idk another TikTok hit

The production is a bit overwhelming maybe? I love it though.

no offense to anyone who has friends or family who are not Gaga stans, but those people are just utter trash with no taste.  :haroon:

I don’t think it’s aged poorly at all. Even when it was new it still had a rougher, 1980s sound. Just cause it’s not trending doesn’t mean it’s aged badly.
