At least 250-280k, 300k if I was optimistic +200K opening is very good, we need to manage our expectations imo. And don't forget, we don't have the bundles like on Chromatica. This is a strong opening tbh. The melody that you choose can rescue you 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget, we don't have the bundles like on Chromatica. This is a strong opening tbh. With a huge hit like DWAS and an international cute little hit with ABRA, plus Spotify’s growth (even if it doesnt directly mean Gaga listeners grew), and her being the 2nd in monthly listeners, 200k is settling for mediocrity. Lets be real. While its a decent debut compared with newer artists, Gaga is falling behind in streaming compared to other 2000s veterans. What’s interesting to me is that this era flipped in terms of charts VS critics. Usually the critics are very lukewarm towards her, but her sales are decent-good. This time, the critics are praising the album, but the sales are lukewarm Edited March 8 by andy232000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short 'n Sweet 362k HTHAS 339k GUTS 302k Eternal Sunshine 227k She's doing similar numbers that the NEW acts.. Compared to her 2000's peers: Katy 48k Pink 74,5k Just Beyonce and Taylor can pull better numbers.

Naufri 7,424 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I can't believe I'm reading that 45M globally is doing meh lol. Do you know how many artists would kill for those numbers? If you dream with Gaga claiming the TS or Billie's throne, sorry but I have something to tell you... And if the issue is that you won't be able to brag in front of other fanbases well... 45M is a sign of an incredibly healthy career, specially if it shows legs. You guys need a reality check. 14 1 2 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagadisiak 556 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 US fanbase is not as strong than in past too . Chromatica got a tour bundle which it helped (not counted now) and the pandemic too (alot of ppl was at home) now it's not the case 200k -225k is good too . Ofc we want her to do 300k anyway at the end the tour will sell well and it's not like she's flopping like KP. And spotify got rids of bot (read this on twitter not sure it's true idc ).

And gaga is 16 years into her career, it's even MORE impressive. Katy did 48,000k first week and her promo efforts were huge. Just the new girlies can pull better numbers, it's only natural, billie, olivia, sabrina etc... Because this is their moment, gaga also had her momento in the past! We should be happy for +200k, yet, I see people disappointed? I don't get it. The melody that you choose can rescue you 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
