Please see VIY or GOE. Not abstract songs about magic spells and viruses (and it's no shade to those songs, they are some of my favorite), but I hope the LG Gods just give the basics what they want. It's right there, just take it! She already gave them with HMH and Happy Mistakes and it didn't click like at all. Blade of Grass and The Beast are the least streamed. Ballads doesn't mean 100% safe hit anyway. Abracadabra has clicked a lot more than those previously quoted 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fair comps at all. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back in the late 2010s, streams especially on Spotify were all that mattered in the years when gaga was still considered "streaming poison". Its so ironic that Now that she's gotten her footing on streaming and is even considered a force of some sort, steady and decent streams suddenly don't guarantee a good placement on the hot 100 anymore? Soooo frustrating I think because back in the day our faves sold a lot of downloads, Born This Way single sold 509,000 downloads on its first full week in US. Hold Ut Against Me by Britney sold 411,000 first week.  So without downloads you have to either be slaying on streaming or radio and if you’re lucky both at the same time. Edited March 23 by whoresup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show you that things do t follow traditional models (same thing kinda happened when Bloody Mary took off) . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio may be growing very slowly but the song isn't a natural grower on streaming... which makes sense because it is not the most streaming (or radio) friendly song out given the current music climate. Ariana did not flop whatsoever, Beyonce released a straight up country song with Miley, and CR/the brat girl are largely net new artists (and I'd argue Brat is NOT radio friendly given current climate). I hope I'm wrong but I'd hate for resources to be wasted when we have VIY and GOE waiting in the wings (both of which are much more easy on the ears with addictive RELATABLE choruses). Gaga said it herself when she released DWAS... just give the people what they want. Heck, I'm sure HBDYWM would do better than #40 U.S. Spotify. Please remember this is LADY GAGA we are talking about, not some indie artist. I agree Abra had enough promo to take off...but I don't think any other song will do better tbh. Gaga just does not do well w charts, unless some ballad (which will likely require some collab or something) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a global billboard top 10 hit its entire run so far. So idk what u guys are on about. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please remember this is LADY GAGA we are talking about, not some indie artist. She is doing fine. The song is going steady. A number of those songs are new releases which will come and go. She did messy single changes during BTW and ARTPOP and it made things messier. The song is a hit in the US and globally. It made big waves and has the stream counts to show as well as social media trends. It has a chance to go top 10 in the US after Coachella.  GOE and VIY only did as well as they did because of playlisting and aggressive pushing from the label. HBDUWM is the song with the most potential to smash. Edited March 23 by LordByron28 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
