Gaga Breaks Record For Longest Top 10 Hit By A Female Artist in History

It's such a non-issue honestly, I'll just never get over how much I hate how DWAS is handled  

It's a song that started as one of Bruno's projects, he brought Gaga in to finish writing and to collab, they released it together as a standalone single, it did well, and suddenly it's on her album and she's the lead artist and she's breaking records for it? 

Idk, like I said, non-issue, but I'd rather see her break these records with a song that's actually hers  

But the charts are tasteless and only her duets can hit #1  

Tl;dr - This should have been Abracadabra

FYI Gaga was always the lead artist in that song. It was released on her channels and as her single with Bruno, she sings over 50% of the song so... that doesn't make her any less lead artist.

this is an amazing achievement 🎉

some monsters are gaslighted by the bitterness of other fanbase— that we end up downplaying the impact of this song.
 

Other popstars can only dream of this huge successful collab

I wasn't even thinking about this being a record, so this is immense and the first time this record has been broken in, what, 4 years? Incredible. I always thought Levitating was overrated (for what it's worth, I find DWAS overrated too but still prefer it more), so I'm glad it no longer holds that record. I always like to see acts with longevity break records, it makes it so much more meaningful as opposed to someone who only had a handful of hits and their record-holding one was all about good timing. 

Bradley is the one who starts singing in Shallow and Gaga doesn't begin singing until over a minute in. Yet we'd never say it's Bradley's song or Gaga doesn't sing enough to qualify a feature. Duets should be as close to 50/50 as possible to differentiate between a duet and a feature but they're not usually completely equal. I'd say DWAS is about 48% Gaga's voice, we underestimate how much she sings in unison with Bruno. The C2C and L4S albums are equal parts Gaga and Tony yet all the videos and audios for it were on Gaga's channel. Also, Britney, Rihanna and anyone who's ever been considered manufactured have had numerous hits with songs they played no part in writing. Bang Bang has 3 artists on it yet it's just considered Jessie J's song officially and even though Nicki played a part in the writing, she's never claimed it as hers. A song that you merely featured on will count as your #1 if it goes to the top (I don't count it, but the industry does). Some EDM tracks don't even credit the vocalist. A song is defined by how the artists and labels choose and we just have to accept that. 

And it was a great move. It being a stand-alone single would be such a waste, people tend to remember songs more when they're attached to an album. Bruno got the live version on his channel as it was played at his show, so they've shared it well. 

They only say "with" if it's a full-on duet as opposed to a feature. They also sometimes write "&" if it's a feature and sometimes, as in the case of DWAS, a simple comma between their names (Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars - DWAS"). If it's a feature, it will always say "feat." so far as I'm aware. 

Because Gaga wrote Shallow in its entirety before Bradley ever sang it, so it actually could, rightfully, be called her song. DWAS sounds like it was about 70-80% written when Bruno brought it to her (sounds like she wrote her verse and her harmonies), so, again, I don’t think it’s unreasonable from a compositional standpoint to say it is largely Bruno Mars song.

Anyway, congrats to Miss DWAS. Cute bop.

Ok, so serious question has DWAS reached the limit that it's become overplayed and downright annoying to the gp? 

i actually don't think so

it's such a laidback song that's an easy listen, it's not like super pop or anything so i feel like it's not at risk of becoming annoying to the GP honestly

Why is this still trending? Slow week huh? 

[Controversiaga 10,597]

Means nothing to me.

gaga has so many better (and solo) songs that deserve this title 

abracadabra for example

 Fadga did that! 
 

Congratulations, Mother! 🖤

He’s a rapper who was really successful around time and making such big features back then until he’s got himself in some issues due his homophobic attitude a couple years ago. After a lot of backlash some other collaborators even put their songs down from streaming platforms then he kinda disappeared. He’s been releasing some stuff but seems to struggle with the public to get support and succeed again.

idg why there's such a stigma against DWAS

DWAS is doing huge numbers and for some reason it's not acceptible  meanwhile APT is also a lead by Rose, i bet Blackpink fans aren't disputing it as an achievement that's only Bruno's and not Rose's 

Abracadabra is also doing amazing sweetie
