I kinda feel like that’s the point tbh. Of course, Gaga would want all her songs to be commercially successful, but I think Disease (and by extension, LG7) are made specifically with stans in mind. Like, the song is not particularly “GP-friendly” and the dark visuals harken back to TFM/BTW.

And let’s not forget the fact that she teased this release by creating the gagadisease.com website and changing the letter case of different songs from all of her solo albums. This is not promo for the GP, it’s promo for fans.

Also, from what we’ve heard from Abracadabra and Notorious Being, those songs most likely aren’t “GP-friendly” either. This era is truly meant for little monsters and I encourage people to not get discouraged if/when the album isn’t the super smash hit that they are desperately want it to be. I mean it’ll do well since Gaga is a global icon, but judging by the sound, it feels more like a love letter to her hardcore fans than anything else. 

Interscope are cutting radio stations cheques to promote the song. The label is doing more promotion than Gaga herself - they created the gagadisease website to tease the lyrics. 

For now she’s posted on her social media and that's about it, we'll see what Gaga and her label have planned in the coming week.

This is great:giveup: Hope it'll rise even more, even though the song won't be everyone's cup of tea

i don't understand why they aren't taking advantage of the halloween hype?

this song is made for it but maybe we'll get more teasers and then the music video on the 30th/31st? we'll see i guess. 

you can serve it to me ancient city style...

Disease - gets Gaga her best Solo debut for a single on Spotify Global.

Fans - here's why that's bad.

Some of y'all will not survive her turning 40 and every radio & industry playlist in the world cutting her off instantly unless a song becomes a viral hit organically and forces them to play it 🙈

Doesn't change the fact that she still made this album for hardcore fans specifically. If she wanted something more GP or radio-friendly, she would've made more stuff like ASIB or DWAS since that type of music is what people associate with Gaga nowadays. Even if she hasn't said anything, it's clear what her intention is with the album.

But yeah, we'll see what she has planned this week. I would be surprised if the music video doesn't come out by then. But all this complaining by some people is really only caused by the fact that Gaga herself is silent. If she had a dozen interviews and photoshoots, and the MV was out by now, and we still had the same numbers, people wouldn't be complaining as much. People are frustrated with Gaga's silence and they're using the streaming numbers as an excuse to express their anger to say "See, if she did x, y, and z, she would've debuted higher!" or some sh*t like that.

It’s not a massive debut, but it’s actually quite good. It did similar numbers to DWAS, which had a mv and Bruno fans on our side, not to mention that it’s a lot more friendly than Disease. It’ll grow for sure, but it will require her team to move in time before the Christmas freeze begins.

I hope they start moving soon because nobody knows about this song lol.

What are these 108M monthly listeners doing????

These numbers are due to her collaboration with Bruno Mars. Not only Bruno Mars, but the harmony that Gaga + Bruno represents + the fact that it's a power ballad.

Also Disease is not at all a song for the GP, it's a song loyal to her character and artistry but not a success choice. The GP is also not aware of the release of the song yet, there is almost no promotion except 3 billboards in NY. The music video + promotion is coming. 

We tend to forget that Gaga as a solo artist is not that major, but 4.5M is still great :heart: And the promo is coming (I hope lmao).

this website's incurable ability to just enjoy the music is so frustrating 

all this "she needs to do this! she needs to fire bobby! she's being lazy!" when you haven't even studied or worked in marketing like...

Didn't realize so many people on here became marketing experts off of one song's debut. Some of ya'll will find anything and any little detail to nitpick at every action or inaction this woman takes. "The debut numbers are good but she's not doing enough" rhetoric is such an old and tired playbook and this s*** happens every single era or anytime she releases anything.
