rafaelgherardi 726 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) When Harlequin was released, it was compared to Bewitched by Laufey (never had heard of her) because the latest had been the biggest debut of a jazz album on Spotify and then Gaga's release broke this record. Her album peaked at #18 on Billboard 200, so this means we cannot compare LG6.5 to LFS or CTC that went #8 and #1 respectively because it's very clear that the interest on jazz music is decreasing year after year. Can't say about pre-orders and physicals copies of Laufey's album, but maybe she had those and that's why she peaked a bit higher than Gaga. I guess Harlequin got a high debut on streams because people didn't know it was jazz and then some people lost interest in it over time, and that made it debut lower than expected... Now only the fans who are into jazz (the minority I'd say) listen to it basically. Edited October 7 by rafaelgherardi typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Why are we sugarcoating it by saying it was a surprise release? folklore? BEYONCÈ? Someone of Gaga’s caliber should be able to debut Top 5 EASILY. It’s worrying, it kinda annoys me that the whole world is streaming DWAS, and yet the new album isn’t doing as good as it should. You have to admit, going from 1.1M opening to 25K in the span of 13 years is alarming. 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitoburrrito 616 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I’m actually surprised it’s this low, I have non-Gaga fan friends telling me how they like the album. I would have thought it would chart higher than L4S. I think it’s a great album and I hope Gaga is proud of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastpopicon 3,646 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 am I crazy to think this was kinda expected? i mean, even the most hardcore fans had no idea an album was coming and it was barely advertised, i see this as a fun side project she did. The melody that you choose can rescue you 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No actually you are one of the sane ones here we cant explain to them the difference between a pop album with promo and singles to a jazz album (one of the least popular genres among young people) with almost completely consisting of covers, no singles, no videos, barely any promo whatsoever, and physical copies only available from her online store. Oh and being a companion album to one of the most hated movies of our generation the fact it went top 20 should be celebrated if anything 5 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
