Can We Officially Say DWAS Is Gagas Biggest Career Hit?

[Mirrion Rizzons 10,435]

Thus far, I’d go as far to say:

Biggest (sales): Shallow 

GP Favourite: Poker Face

Signature Song: Bad Romance (quintessential Gaga)

DWAS will have a lot of catching up to do to overtake shallow in sales (I believe it’s over 30M WW) - but it’s on the trajectory where in say 5-10 years, it will most likely exceed the sales of shallow

Even just commercially, it’s too soon to tell. Where a song really makes money is when it’s streamed millions of times over a long period of time. It’s just too soon to tell. You could say it’s the most commercially successful in this amount of time, but will people continue streaming it over the next 10-20 years like they do for Shallow and Bad Romance? Only time will tell

Very good way of putting it. Maybe most successful globally in a 6 month period but its total commulative success could end up falling short if interest doesnt hold long term

Poker Face has more unit sales than Shallow but Shallow is close second. Both are above 35M

I would say Yes. It's timeless, instant classic, best pop collab of the decade, #1 in many areas, Grammy winning... and later on will beat Dance Monkey's a$$.

I think the order goes something like this… although not 100% sure 

1: Poker Face (38M)

2. Shallow (34M)

3. Bad Romance (30M)

4. Just Dance (26M)

5. Telephone (18M)

As for sales, there’s no way to be sure but some sources state the above figures allegedly

DWAS needs to surpass Shallow first. If only Global 200 exists during Shallow's peak it would have to that chart for 10-15weeks

[Just A Holy Fool 2,459]

I would say in terms of statistics, yes, but impact? Not yet. I mean, look at how impactful Poker Face is 15 years after release. It’s become her signature hit.

If you walk down the street and ask people to sing DWAS, I dont think anyone would know it, and the ones that do wont know much of the lyrics. I dont think it can be a bigger hit than Poker Face, Bad Romance, or Shallow.

Oh sweetie you’d be surprised. Everyone here is WET for it.

Id be curious to see top SPS units of other contemporaries like TS, Adele, Katy Perry, Rihanna etc

 

Are her top hits good relative to them?

[FFXIV WhiteMage 5,527]

It's too early yet BUT not impossible!

DWAS is shaping up to be one of the biggest songs. I live in 3rd world country and DWAS is starting to crawl on our neighbors who are out of touch with global pop culture! It only happens to smash hits like Shallow 

[CaliLilMonster 464]

tbh I consider DWAS to be more of a Bruno song than Gaga. I love that it's successful for her but it doesn't feel like a hit song. Feels like its had no impact.
