I think Flopify flopped with their floppy update of flop numbers. Gaga has always been weaker on AM (US and Hip Hop-centric platform) compared to Spotify. I wouldn't be shocked to see TDD in top 15. I mean the song is #1 on Shazam and subtly smashing on AM 

“All streams were logged” my ass. They just continue to sabotage her whenever she releases.

Ok I think I understand the logic?
 

So after the 7th day the numbers will always go down to adjust for the audience that first heard the song but no longer hears it? Like it’s not a perpetual listener. Also because of radio deals, which typically last a week, to account for that extra boost the adjustment is needed. Or did I totally miss the point lol?

 

IdK this seems overly complicated for my mathematically declined mind. Why not just post daily audience numbers and we just know that after the first week they are bound to drop. Like Spotify does (or used too lol)

I think you got it.

They count the last 7 days worth of radio play. On day 8 you get the rolling effect.

Yes. If on day one you have a 100 listeners, and you have that for the whole week, on day seven the audience would be 650. However, if on the eight day only 50 people listen, you will get -50, so the total would be 650. But if 150 people listen, you get +50, and have 750 listeners

They do post daily updates, and they can continue be positive in perpetuity as long as there is an increase in audience compared to the previous week. The issue with radio deals is that, once they end, stations play the song less in week 2, causing a much bigger week-over-week loss than a song without a deal, which would (hopefully) see an organic and slower increase.

I think TDD will do okay on Radio after this week given 1) the goodwill she’s built with BM, DWAS, and Abra, 2) the fact stations will love having a fresher seasonally-appropriate option to play as Halloween approaches.

It’s also super catchy and fun and a great single regardless of LMs overblown expectations.

I mean, I know it’s probably coincidence, but it is really ridiculous how often these issues occur when she releases a single or album, considering how infrequently she does.

It’s a buzz-kill and the loss of exposure from “top 50”-type playlists, tweets from major charts accounts, etc., isn’t nothing. I think the obsession over daily streaming numbers is somewhat insane, but it’s even more insane to only allow some artists and teams to reliably and consistently leverage them.

I'm convinced Spotify has a vendetta against Gaga. 

wdym they change the .apk right before MAYHEM's release and now this mess happens when she releases a much anticipated single, a single that has heavy backing by Netflix with heavy promo everywhere, the outcome of this single will probably make or break her Netflix relation, I feel like there's more at the table than most people think, this is an expected hit and much money is involved.

something is not adding up or coincidences really do happen, it turns out, they just happen for Gaga.
