This thread, whenever Gaga has a single, vacillates wildly between comedy, tragedy, and outright horror.

 

It's a MESS. Every single time.

 

I know it seems stupid to complain about chart-watching in the chart-watching thread. But that's not what I'm gonna do. I enjoy tracking the charts, too, and I especially love when acts I love do well. But honestly, the degree to which some people seem to get invested isn't healthy.

 

Also, while 200K is a bad number for Gaga (and I don't think ANYBODY is denying that), we must keep in mind that it's an estimate. And that it's only the first week, and while huge pop stars like Gaga typically are front-loaded, the context IS different this go-round. She's coming off a year and a half of near total silence stateside. It was always feasible that this single was going to have to climb.

 

The truth is we really won't know anything about this song's chances for sure until after the VMAs and the video. If things look this way after that, by all means, break the glass and pull the meltdown alarm.

If you really believe she's gonna sell 200k you really need to log off. If she sells a lot at the beginning you guys say it's a flop because it will peak immeadiatley, if it doesn't sell alot at the begining (selling more than Blurred lines btw) and looks like it will have longevity you say it's a flop.

Just RELAX, look at BR, PF sales and radio updates at the beginning, look at other hit songs, no true hit goes no.1 immeadiatley... It WILL smash just CALM DOWN.

u guys r blind or stupid? US is her main market. More than 60% of her sales came from the US (at least single wise).

 

At this pont I hope we can snatch a #1 in the Rihanna way. Not very high first week sales and she went #1 anyways with Diamonds, We Found Love and Only Girl weeks after it's released

Yes, the rush-release created this mess + the fact that it's also Katy's debut week. But it's still awful for her power :(

 

I do agree with this. I just feel like no promotion is going to her and Katy is getting it all. That is why I am stressing people to save the meltdowns for next week.

Im not saying its good for Gaga all im saying is that some of the biggest songs of this year have done worse than this in their first week, Blurred Lines debuted at #96 or something in its first week
