Yes, Billie has huge GP support but she also has a massive dedicated stan base of teens who are streaming her all day long. Which is what @Squall is referring to

 

Being a GP driven artist isn't a good thing lol

 

 

An example of GP driven artist is Katy Perry....

[hétérosexuelle]

Alice her POWER 

 

I FEAR

 

[Stellars]

She somehow always stays here. I CAN stand it

[bad guy]

Wow. This is a lot to process. She won. After years of lashings, years of clowning, and years of accurate attacks backed up chart data she has somehow some way come out on top. And I won’t lie it’s shaken me a little bit. My belief system is all flushed. Even with Stupid Love bombing she still won. Yes Ariana and Blackpink played a massive role but does it matter? Is the reality of Gaga being a fad all crashing down? What does this all mean? As a man of my word, I hereby...hold on let me take a breath...congratulate Gaga on winning. You won the battle Monsters. I can’t believe it’s true but it is. The battle has been won. OGH and their high powered artillery has LOST

Yeah. Sour Candy, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

If Gaga is a stan driven artist how did this album become such a HUGE debut while Joanne wasn''t? this album is doing like Joanne numbers x5, how did her fanbase grew so much?  it's clear that the GP is here for her.

Nope. It’s because Joanne was a body of work that made her stans divided, so the initial commercial performance reflected that and its chart run

Huh???

 

why are you rewriting history? Billie had one of the most anticipated albums of 2019.

You clearly didn't understand my point. She never had a top 10 before BG, BAF debuted and peaked at #14 thanks to her fanbase.

How is a top ten hit relevant to the discussion? Album sales have nothing to do with the chart performance of singles

It's relevant to prove the GP didn't know much about her when it peaked in first week due to the fans, she barely was supported by radios before BG (they only played WTPO a bit)  

[IBeMe]

incredible! she did that with this album. EVERY album track getting over 2 million streams is also really nice to see

No, they all used the counter.

 

OT: I was told Shallow was her last hurrah  

They didn’t, I literally linked someone the the old chart from the day following Billie’s album released and it was the chart.

I forgot to mention I was talking only about streaming, Joanne did like 7 million on its first day.

Gurl Joanne debuted with 8m streams on Spotify compared to Chromatica's 48m  

 

Not you coming up with "her stans streaming it more because she's back to pop" excuse 

 

[Bethenny Frankel]

Lady Gaga is an icon and having a career repeak. I am so happy to be a stan of her!

That is in no way true. She literally had one of the most anticipated albums of 2019. The only reason she hadn’t gone top 10 was because radio was not on board. The streaming stats were always there. The buzz before the album was massive, what rock were you living under
