I was talking first week but I didn't clarify so I can understand the confusion, apologies.

Yikes. At least this album is better quality than Joanne. 

Seems like another Platinum album in the bag for miss Gaga

Platinum by 2030.

Witness is not eligible for Platinum in the US

 

I guess Chromatica is coming for 800k by the end of the year

It will be platinium next year

It is on above 750k including pre album units and sold 13k last week

At the latest, it will be platinium by the end of next year

HDD includes all units moved in 2020 so pre-album units are included for Chromatica

Oh so my fave sold 700k with doing promo for it just once 3 months after the album release? That sounds good to me 

That's surprisingly low for an album with #1 and #5 hits. 

Eh.. this is average

Oh dear.

You guys need to stop with the promo excuse, especially in 2020

Why? Gaga has proven multiple times that she is pretty promo sensetive(oscar, Grammy's, superbowl)

You guys still pushing this narrative that Chromatica bombed, when Dua just reached 700k aswell and she released her album 6 weeks before Gaga

 

 

And according to ATRL Dua is smashing, at her peak, a few years into her career but somehow Gaga's album, 12 years into her career pulling the same numbers is "bombing"

Yet the promo didn't push the album back into the top 30. It's not an effective excuse for why the album is doing so poorly.

We need to stop to talk about Itunes when Gaga sold 1M pure in 2018. 
we need to stop talking about promo when we all have seen that she is very promo sensitive. 
 

you guys just want to hear us saying terrible things about Gaga while we all know that that’s not going to happen. She is doing very fine and its better for you to accept it.

And what is your excuse for Beyonce putting BIS on the top of every playlist but still finding a way  to get the biggest Major single flop of the year? The album CHROMATICA is doing fine and all your nonsense talk is not going to change it.

She performed it on the VMA, its not their rating are super high....

And she could've go to popular shows like she did with joanne

Nobody says it would have made the album a 21sized era but it could've help

If you can't argue against a valid point, just don't reply. It's better than watching you attempt to deflect.

The VMAs achieved over 6M views in the US, that's certainly enough views to push an album higher up the chart than #34. Particularly when the performance featured a highly anticipated performance alongside one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. It was a huge medley performance featuring two of the singles from the album, this 'promo sensitive' excuse doesn't really fly in this instance.

I don’t have to argue with you in order to see that Chromatica is doing fine. It will end up reaching 1P and most fans are happy about the album itself.

If that was true, you wouldn't have responded to my post and tried to deflect. I think 700k is incredibly mediocre for someone of Gaga's status and its chart run is frankly abysmal for a studio album.

Hot 100

 

#55 Rain On Me (a week before the VMAs)
#34 Rain On Me (week during the VMAs)
#37 Rain On Me (a week after the VMAs)

 

Billboard 200

 

#64 Chromatica (a week before the VMAs)

#44 Chromatica (a week after the VMAs)

 

the receipts are right there, the album is still 20 positions higher than the week before the VMAs and ROM is still in the top 40, the promo effect was clearly good enough

A 20/30 position jump would certainly be great, if the end result was a respectable position and not just jumping from the bottom half of their respective charts. There was absolutely an effect, I would just say it was incredibly mediocre. Especially for an artist whose fans state that she's "promo sensitive" and was the sole reason that the album was doing so poorly on the charts. You would expect a high calibre performance, featuring Ariana Grande, to have boosted the album back into the top 10.

And at the end of the day, promo sensitive or not, the fact she performed on the VMAs won't even change her total numbers by much. She had radios and playlisting on Spotify (with a song featuring one of the streaming queens), her label should have pushed a third single earlier but you need to stop thinking performances will significantly boost her sales. She could be everywhere and her numbers probably wouldn't be that different. The priority isn't the same as in 2010 etc.

She’s criminally underrated & underestimated by the majority of stans. People on this site are constantly acting like Manic flopped when she’s outselling their favs. She has a massive loyal cult following. The numbers don’t lie. But why do I feel like Jhene’s stats are inflated by the fact there’s 300 songs on here album  

Jhene’s singles are actually pretty massive streaming wise. The GP genuinely likes the material she’s releasing.
