Spotify Global - Most days above 10M filtered streams

#1. Die With A Smile - 79 days* 
#2. Flowers - 29 days 

Ohhh woww, 50 days difference was just a guess, my intuition was precisely correct then!!

Time to kick Dance Monkey off the throne, I don't get how this song remained at #1 for so long. 2019 was a dry year it seems

The Cure and HMH were moderate hits at best tbh

 

And bloody mary was an unusualy situation so im not sure id classify that under being able to release a single and producing a smash

 

Her biggest hits on this list were the ones with ASIB which also had movie give a boost

 

Call me a pessimist all u want but Gaga doesnt just struggle to go #1 solo in USA like u said. She struggles to go solo top 10 in general

 

Even MR took a sh*t load of promotion and itunes discount on week of super bowl to go top 10 for 1 week

 

Im not shading her. Its normal career progression. But theres no denying when it comes to more major hits, she definitelt struggles when they arent collabs. We have 12 years of data since hit after hit streak ended after Applause to kinda back it up

Totally agree and I do think the fact that there's so much defending against this is because it's so clear that all of her recent hits have been collabs. It's a "where there's smoke there's fire" situation.

But I don't think it's really a bad thing and I think there's a major double standard for women generally and Gaga specifically. A great example is Justin Bieber – broke out around the same time as Gaga, huge cultural phenomenon, and yet all his major hits in the latter half of his career are collabs (Stay, Despacito, 10,000 Hours, Peaches, I'm the One, Stuck With U) – he hasn't had a solo #1 since 2015 but nobody says, "But he can only get hits with collaborators!!"

I think part of the reason it comes up with Gaga so much is because she's really good at being selective with her collaborators because they're literally all successful. Meanwhile, Taylor releases high-profile collabs with Post Malone and Ed Sheeran, Beyonce with Miley Cyrus and Kendrick Lamar, and these singles either chart poorly or debut high and then freefall.

The opposite happens with Gaga – she doesn't collaborate often, but when she does, she does it well. And it's successful. So I think it creates the illusion that she's reliant on these other artists for the song to do well when really she's contributing just as much, if not more, to that song's success.

BUT – that being said, it's hard to deny that she also hasn't scored a solo hit in quite a long time. Both of these things can be true imo. Does it really matter, though? Pop music is one of the only genres where this would even be raised. Nobody in hip hop is bringing this **** up because collaboration isn't just expected but cultivated and encouraged. Likewise with rock and indie and alt and jazz. Pop *FOR WOMEN* is the only genre where there's this weird purity test with hits where stans like to degrade a female artist's success if it's part of a collaboration.

I don’t understand why Gaga fans hold her to impossible + contradictory standards. “Million Reasons” success gets undermined because it had exposure, yet 1. few songs have or could see a similar rebound, 2. It didn’t plummet after; it remained Top 20+40 and ultimately completed 20 weeks on BB100 more 2+ months after SB, 3. When a song like “Stupid Love” or “Disease” struggles and some point out a lack of promo, it gets called obsolete / ineffective. So which is it?

There’s context behind literally every hit; few artists just throw a song on platforms and it goes #1. “SB,” “ASIB,” “Wednesday,” etc. are rubbish arguments, and fans who always use them don’t look objective, they look silly (in the nicest way possible). Thousands of songs became hits “because…” without being questioned and dozens more have gotten nowhere near the levels of MR, BM, ARUTW, INLA, etc. despite being included in a film, performed on a big stage, or attached to a viral video.

Also, the reason she has so few “solo hits!!” since 2013 is because she literally hasn’t released many. She’s released *7* singles from studio albums since: Applause (#4), DWUW (#13), GUY (#76), Perfect Illusion (#15), Million Reasons (#4), Stupid Love (#5), Rain On Me (#1)… I suppose you could include Bloody Mary (#41), DWAS (#1), Disease (#27).

80% were Top 40, 70% were Top 20, and 50% were Top 5. That’s incredible! 7 were solo, of which 3 went Top 10, 4 went Top 20, and 5 went Top 40. Do a similar analysis for Taylor, Ariana, Beyoncé, etc. please: they’ve not only released MANY more singles, they also have a much lower % of hits.

So i bet in 2,5years  DWAS will be most streamed song 

It will be early next year, darling 

Looking at its stability, it’s safe to say that it will maintain at least 7-8 million streams daily till the end of the year.

Also LG7 & Bruno’s album will give it a boost.

Don’t underestimate the power of the Song of the Century! 

[monketsharona 57,404]

Die With a Smile is 10th Bruno Mars most streamed song on Spotify (passing Leave The Door Open) 

It's Lady Gaga's 3rd (after Shallow and Poker Face)

I still cant believe that DWAS not only survived the chritmas effect despite pulling huge numbers since 4 months but also became even stronger now

[darkgaga 3,150]

Is DWAS safe from APT breaking the fastest song to reach 1B streams by the way?
