Well, who cares tbh. You don’t release Joanne expecting to bring in the big numbers. Charting is bs anyway, the sooner people understand this the better ✌💖

THIS. Bloody Mary (#68) is way more known and apperciated than most #1s

he and his label. he is on the cover of most NMF playlists, they also added his song to some Hot Hits on day 1.
his song was released exactly at the time when Spotify starts tracking day, so they definitely care about numbers.

He had, but they probably moved after he canceled his tour after 7 shows because he wasn't ready to return to the stage and wanted to focus on his mental health.
his last lead single debuted with 3.4M streams (over 1M in the US) in 2020; this new one with 2M (480k in the US).

Well, okay, so it’s a metric for investors to see how much money to give an artist.. so take these numbers and keep em for them, don’t release them to the public, since it’s always an excuse for the general public to **** on any given artist, since they feel validated in their opinion because someone is on spot xyz. I just don’t like the ranking of art in that way.. slapp a number on it and call it a day 🤷🏼‍♀️

Numbers =\= charts though

I feel like whenever artists release super random tracks in between album cycles, their lead singles never do that well.
