Gaga Charts Discussion - Gaga Earns 3rd #1 Album

If this is true, GUY can make the comeback.

if that rumor is true then that'd be awesome... Although I'm delusionally hoping that massive radios will add guy tomorrow... But it most likely won't happen :cry:

Would be great, but probably not happening. It's only 3M viewers anyways, would barely push the song Top 50.

Apology accepted I'm totally over it :)

 

I really do believe it's too early to call GUY a failed single. I originally stated to wait until 10-15M AI before making any assumptions and I still stand by that.  

 

I can't think of any other songs to compare the song to, which is another reason why I picked Birthday. Something with similar airplay would be best.

I probably gave you the worst apology ever so I'm very glad you accepted it. :)

Yeah, I've been searching for a good comparison also but can't really find one. One of the reasons Gaga is such a fun/frustrating artist to track is because she's so hard to compare to anyone. Always doing her own thing.

I won't lie. I'm definitely nervous about G.U.Y. But just trying to be patient. Come May, well have a much better idea about where this sucker will land.

Nope

 

Hm. It was more about building airplay on one format, I get that Mainstream/Top40 is her home format, but airplay on any format translates into sales which translates into a higher position on iTunes. Most Pop stations - especially the big ones - won't put the song on high rotation when it's not Top 40 on iTunes, and it's not going Top 40 without the support of those big stations so there must be some solution for other stations which care less about the actual popularity of songs (AC, Spanish, Latin Urban... HAC and Rhythmic/Top 40 to a lesser extent) to give the song spins first. Next to that, it'll contribute to a higher peak on the Billboard Hot 100 because it has big airplay everywhere at the same time.

 

We should at least try to get the New York AC station to add it to their playlists, it's one of the biggest stations in North America - making up for ~1/6 of the total Adult Contemporary Audience Impressions on Kworb (1/3 or 1/4 on Nielsen), about as big as KIIS and KAMP.

LOL on the "Nope"...and I agree!

 

Hey, it never hurts to request! You get a game plan together and post a reminder every few pages and I will do my part and request away! I don't mind spending some time everyday supporting Gaga and G.U.Y.

I'm willing to go with anything of a positive nature!!

I think I myself will focus on non-Pop formats myself (Spanish, Latin Urban, HAC love to spin at least one American dance song quite a lot)

Debating between Gaga's and Katy's chart position similarities is completely different than the issue we experienced last night. I'm not going to just pretend Birthday doesn't exist if I feel it's a valuable argument against Gaga's chart position.

[Luc 4,775]

And I still have quite some faith in AC airplay. Applause failed there, but I'm sure with proper requesting we can make GUY happen on AC formats.

 

 

 

or whatever your name was (why not a normal name ), how does the Mediabase requesting system work? Thought you said they had some security to check ZIP code etc, it'd be very appreciated if you could tell more. Next to that, I want to know whether they track my IP address or not

[Americano 31,061]

Radio stations, including KIIS and Z100, picked up Fancy at a quicker speed than they have picked up G.U.Y. Fancy was getting airplay on major stations, at prime times of the day. Both KIIS and Z100 started spinning it within the first week it was released to radios. (not the add date- the week it was available for play!)

 

Plus, it flew up the Rhythmic chart. G.U.Y. doesn't have another format, where it is kicking ass.

 

Also, Fancy was the lead single and has no album to buy in its place or fans that have already bought the album. You can't compare a lead in single, without an album,(Fancy) to a third single, with an album that has been out for months! (G.U.Y.)

 

The amount of excuses in this post

The power of MTV is still in place even at 3m viewers. They know how to promote artists. It will also help outside of US and I dont think there is another better spot until the tour starts.

 

But the source of the rumor is just embarassing.

[Americano 31,061]

I think MTV Movie Awards and Idol would be a good combo. She's free after tonight.

Tbh. The only positive thing is that I hear Zedd will perform as well, so it gives me some hopes.

[Klou 2,414]

The MTV Movie Awards would at least give it more exposure than the video did. 3 million views on one night compared to 2 million over the course of 7 days.

I think she should have two performances before just giving up.

 

Movie awards would be good..

 

She also has GMA, Idol, Voice, umm.. idk. Im sure some others im not thinking of
