I'm still baffled as to how 2 artists with large fanbases, multiple versions and discounts, can't beat one new artist who's literally only been known of this year who's already been reigning at the top for months. It makes no sense. I thought this week was to break the record, it's just to tie it. There will be a push to get it back to #1 next week post-Kendrick to break it, you see if it doesn't. I'm so sick of these no-names breaking records only to disappear a few years later. There is a danger in being too successful. It means the public are more likely to ditch you with the next album cycle. It's sad but it's just the way of things. Gaga has proven all these years that she has longevity, that's ultimately all that matters. At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself at this very frustrating moment in time.

Fanbases are just that, niche groups of people. It's not 220 million consistent people on Spotify or whatever their figures are now. The fanbases are almost always going to pale in comparison to the drive of the GP unless you have a particularly rabid and large fanbase like BTS' Army. Gaga and Bruno aren't at that stage of their career anymore. BTS probably won't be either when they come back.

People keep raging on fanbases for letting these songs fail, but it's simply not 2010 anymore. You don't also have to GP push to guarantee anyone's success.

Right now the GP is enamored with a bad country song sampled from a bad rap song because it's easy to drink to.

I think this is a massive lesson in not allowing success to dictate your enjoyment. I know you guys love to fantasy football this, and act like artistic validity can come through commercial success, but you're just wrong. A song can be AMAZING and fail on the billboard charts, and you need to come to terms with that and stop relying on other people to tell you what it's okay to like.

Die With A Smile will be remembered globally. Shaboozy is nothing outside the US. 

It plays constantly in my Country

[Pandacadabra 9,085]

Oh wow. That sucks. 2 massive music artists coming together in such a great song and still not able to get #1.

Oh well, I'm not from the US anyway. I'm contributing for Billboard Global and my country's Billboard Charts, where Die With A Smile has already went #1.

[Panchecco 17,603]

the way I legit never heard of it before, let alone hearing the song itself

[darkgaga 4,961]

Well the Netherlands is finally winning with DWAS slaying at #1 for 10 weeks already, even though it will probably be overtaken this week

The way so many of you will dismiss a black man breaking through American radio with country music is so……

We all wanted Gaga to have the #1, of course, but show some grace.

Good for Shaboozey and I'm sure Gaga will feel the same way seeing such success in a new artist.

I dont think his race is the point. The song seems a little overrated to be THAT long at #1

 

That said congrats to him

Oh lord…good lord…

the song is very infectious tbh

Your opinion — I’m making the point perhaps it’s a milestone worthy of celebrating rather than dismissing as “overrated.”
