I guess even though the single day streams are lower than TTPD this has actually done better as it has much less tracks. 

It’s such a shame that artists with better material aren’t getting these types of debuts but I guess the mainstream is always the most universal. 

It also affects that APK removal happened and TTPD had more songs. If this was before APK removal Im sure it would have done more than 300M

sadly there is only 6 good songs on this album which means half of it is trash (to me) and only 3 out of the 6 are true standouts. A shame. 

These 6 songs will have to do A LOT of heavy carrying to make this album and era good in my opinion: 

1. The Fate of Ophelia

2. Elizabeth Taylor

3. Cancelled

4. Father Figure

5. Actually Romantic

6. Ruin the Friendship

Everything else is so bland....and the 3 standouts from those 6 good songs are Fate of Ophelia, Liz Taylor & Cancelled.

And half of those are stolen from somewhere else or sampled

Cancelled chorus is a rip off of Lorde's Yellow Flicker Beat chorus

Day 2: 10 tracks still over 10M

Is the rise of The Fate of Ophelia a threat to DWAS’s record as the fastest song to reach 1 million?

Im sure it will slow down, Fortnight debuted with 25M and it took more than a year for it to get 1 billion. We'll see if it catches up with GP or not but I doubt it.

Everyone has their own taste I guess... I bet if Gaga were to be rolling music out all the time we would all be the same way. But luckily Gaga is able to recognize that while she maybe writes 50 tracks for an album and only 15 make it, it is more about the purpose/art of the album instead of just releasing the music to do so.

But some artists know that standard pop sound will always sell, especially when theyve built a loyal fanbase, and so they elect to just keep releasing the same type of music to stay on the charts and relevant. I think it takes away from the special qualities an artist can offer when they consistently put out music with such randomness to it

Not a chance bc look how people drag the stuff they don’t like from her LMAO Gaga fans for all our faults, at least don’t reward mediocrity from her artistry and Gaga doesn’t encourage us or even herself to

The general public can't name a single The Toilet Scrub Department song and the same thing will happen to The Life of a Hunchbackgirl
