The thing is, this couldve been a bigger hit only by releasing physical copies. The only reason it dropped on the first week from midweek prediction was because of Tyler album release which got plenty of streams but zero sales, so the physicals wouldve make up for it. 

Letting the song rot and do its thing its clearly not working, and Gaga sharing hundreds of tiktoks with the song on it aint promo for the song. We all knew it wasnt a great idea to release it on the last week of october but oh well. At least the music and the visuals for the MV are one of her best work in years.

Thank you. The complete mismanagement of this single is a nightmare. It is her worst roll-out ever.

It's over honey, lets move on to LG8 already

Does she need to promote Disease to prove herself? No.

Would some performances serve us hungry LMs who are dying for new content? Yes.

If not for charts, at least do some performances for us.

Being a LM is so hard.

This reminds of how great of a mini-era Million Reasons was. So many stellar performances. That was the last time we were fed with back-to-back slayage. How I truly miss those times!

This situation is so sad

[Biagio2103 5,865]

Instead of complaining all the time you could just... Idk, stream the song and enjoy the music?

Every single era since Joanne has been the same story, Gaga does no longer do heavy promo like Dua, Sabrina, Billie or any younger female musician. No artist from her generation does heavy promo either, they just focus on very specific spots to elevate their status (Super Bowl, prestigious award shows or global events). The song was #1 on TTH for a full week and had a radio deal, you can't be serious saying they didn't do anything, people just don't pick up songs (specially songs like "Disease") that fast anymore.

I also think it'll be a waste of money to push the song when Xmas season is literally around the corner, you know Gaga has always focused more on the second single from each era since Joanne, and she also has a tendency to not choose the best song on the album as the lead.

Why cant we have nice things anymore?

EMA performance, BBMAs performance, NRJ Music Awards performance, Los40MusicAwards performance

The spots were there, she just skipped them and denied us from having fun and content

It might be fun for hardcore fans, but in a broader view it would not change anything. She just tried it a few weeks ago with Happy Mistake and it seems TV appearances are having almost 0 effect nowadays.

The delusion in thinking lack of performances is the reason Disease is a failure. 

Where did the old charters in this thread went? The old guard is all gone and this thread is left with the weirdest takes.

The song is not a hit ANYWHERE, even her strongest markets dropped the song after the first few days.

The 120m Spotify playlist reach is better promo than anything else she could possibly do. Most veterans don't even put out music videos these days because the impact is negligible.

The song was dead on arrival, and if her team is smart they'll wait until January to release a few songs as promo singles to see if the public picks up interest. Let the public decide what the second single will be.

she has a highly acclaimed single and acceptable numbers for almost no promo and no physicals, nothing really to be sad about, plus, she has the biggest song on the world.

 

She's actually doing better than most of her contemporaries, people just expect way too much! And we should know by now that we should NOT underestimate her.

 

Have a bit of patience, this era is just starting.

This. She was at the Olympic opening ceremony this year. She is expected to be at the Grammys next year.
And if Joker: FAD had been at least a mediocre success, she would have attended a lot of awards shows.

[RickMonster98 7,399]

Disease is potentially one of her best songs EVER. It just doesnt deserve to flop I cant accept it

[TEANUS 13,524]

My biggest hope and silver lining from FAD being a disappointment means awards season (January-March) will be pretty open schedule wise
