all these sales yet nobody actually talks about him

no iconic performances, no red carpet moments, no funny chat show clips, no interesting interviews

if he came on shuffle at a party or in a store, i'd have no idea it was him

This is not good.

He has 37 tracks, with this logic gaga would have opened with +500K, but she only has 14 tracks so 219K doesn't seem so impressive.

Opening numbers are a joke nowadays, artists just release a 40 album track and enjoy the headlines, Gaga is one of the few who still does it the proper way.

[Nagini 4,083]

Music industry really does suck now... I don't know guys should we just go back to movies/film and just root for Gaga to win at the box office

Sure it's inflating first week numbers, but the fans are also getting 3x more songs.

I wouldn't mind Stef giving us more songs, especially with how she releases albums every 5 years.

Suddenly the USA elections don't surprise me with these numbers.

quality over quantity.
this man recorded 50 songs and put 37 on his album and will probably never perform most of them live

Right.  Literally the only thing he did outside of a tour that I (and most people) was aware of was the SNL incident.

it's insane, does billboard even have a track limit? Because how this is going, it won't be long till a artist makes a 50 album track.

no, there is no limit. 
In December 2024, SZA added 19 tracks to her 2022 album, and now this album has 42 tracks and they all count.

Ain’t nothing stopping Gagisha from dropping a 30+ track album. Lord knows she has plenty of time between album drops to come up with material
