monketsharona 62,021 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem' is expected to cross 500,000 in US album units before its official release. "Die With A Smile" and "Disease" have already sold a combined 4.5 million singles (450K albums). https://x.com/chartdata/status/1883909720211423491?t=dNTF06YykDqKSnhXDcl7Ow&s=19 1 16 1 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 15,158 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 And y’all told me I was delusional in the chart thread for saying it could easily debut with 500k. I feel like they’re trying to do a double single release in February because they want her to debut with as close to 1m as possible 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the thread title is a bit misleading for those not in the know. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
palma 7,576 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I love y'all but this doesn't mean MAYHEM will open w/ 500K+ first week the units DWAS (and Disease) generated will count towards the total for the certifications that's all. I expect 150K but let's see. If she's debuting Abracadabra on the Grammy's gays are likely to go gaga over this, which may move it towards the ARTPOP/Chromatica numbers Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-sales means streams before album is out, pre-orders for pure sales are shipped so they count towards the first week sales. In this case, DWAS and Disease units before March 7th don't count towards first week sales. Only total units for RIAA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
