fan base Lady Gaga

[Aston Martin]

We're less than an hour from the tracking week ending:

• Despite the CMAs happening, ABS never surpassed DWAS on Apple Music. It updated an hour ago, (ABS moved up to 12 and DWAS stayed at 9) so it's safe to say it won't within the next hour (even if it did, DWAS staying ahead of it for 23 hours cancels that last hour out).
• At least 2 (and sometimes 3) versions of DWAS stayed ahead of the highest version of ABS on the US Amazon Digital Music Store all day. Last I checked, 5 version of DWAS were charting, whereas only 1 version of ABS was.
• DWAS stayed ahead of ABS on Youtube US
• Barring some freak update tomorrow, it's safe to assume that DWAS remained ahead on Spotify.
• Radio's out of our control but DWAS has been gaining there past week (despite AC being a *****) whereas ABS has either grown slowly or lost audience. 
• The two new versions of DWAS helped offset some of the CMA boost on iTunes (which is really the only place where any boost actually happened). As of now there's four versions of the song in the top 100, 3 in the top 40, and one in the top 10. We don't know how many copies that added up to, and we don't know how many ABS sold (though TOTC's midweek prediction had ABS leading sales and us being tied). ABS also lost the #1 spot on iTunes to some Jellyroll song. But with those last two versions being released, I think we're in a better place than I expected us to be in 24 hours ago. 

Whatever ends up happening in regards to this week is largely out of our control now. I don't feel sure enough calling things one way or the other, but I think things look better than I thought they would be yesterday (especially with the CMA boost being a lot smaller than projected). I'm glad Interscope released those last two versions, and even if we don't get it this week, here's to hoping we either get it next week (small chance due to Christmas songs) or in early 2025. 

 

edit: and if you live in the US and haven't yet bought the extra versions, please do so within the next 35 minutes

They deserve it for not even pushing the new versions in top 10 at the very least. Last time the other versions at least went and occupied the whole of top 3.

US liddos base is dead to me

[Almodusa]

30 mins! Push!!!

[nick4bty]

If DWAS does lose the #1, it really only is going to be by a point or two. 
 

At least the racist CMAs viewers paid dust to Shaboozey

Gaga randomly in Tokyo is the gag I live for. She was in Ireland last week for Wednesday and now this?? Purrr

 

If she's there to promote that's so elite. Her lewks in Japan have always devoured! Her appearances on shows have always been a moment. 

 

I hope she's there to cause chaos and gag their media and our internet

That rat…

[Aston Martin]

iTunes US 5 minutes before the tracking week ends:

3. A Bar Song (-1)

8. DWAS (+1)

33. DWAS (sped up) (-1)

39. DWAS (instrumental acoustic) (-3)

86. DWAS (Acoustic) (+4)

200. DWAS (Live in Las Vegas) (RE)

 

Amazon Digital Music US:

27, 28, & 31: DWAS

36. ABS

61, 85, & 91: DWAS 

 

i got tired of typing all the versions out  

 

Like I said before, the main version of DWAS rising up a spot and the main version of ABS falling down a spot is the main story here. The performance of the other 3 DWAS versions is negligible but they've held on all things considered.

And it's over. Lettuce pray

Well… 

[Artur]

Are the radio updates also done for this week's hot 100? Or do they count them until Sunday?

The update that we get tomorrow is the last update that counts for this tracking week. They apparently made radio count Friday-Thursday for the Hot 100 within the last few years (it was a lot more recently than they made sales and streams count Friday-Thursday iirc)

[ROARyals]

LOL what is this… the tracking week is over and there's no chance this week I think (or read)

 

 

[GipJo]

The #1 is not happening, the projected radio number for ABS is -1m, but as of yesterday its number is growing compares to last Thursday, I don't think it will lose 1m magically on the last tracking day. DWAS also lost hard on streams compares to last week.

 

In the end it doesn't really matter, it's still a GLOBAL smash, just a lesson for her label to realize that she doesn't have a solid fan base in US anymore, her success is now up to casual audience, and the US fanbase can't be the life-saving mat for her song not being a total flop. Disease's much quicker fall in US than global also is a sign.

 

They should play the international game more if they want to maintain profit for her projects.

Lg7secrets saying that she'll be doing arenas in Paris , when she literally sold out Stade de France TWICE only 2 years ago  

 

Please can we get this ***** suspended

Disease is #16, down one spot.

 

Hot Hits USA

DWAS: #5

Disease: #11

[Aston Martin]

Last chart-update post for a while (I'm tired ) but since I have US iTunes open rn:

 

81. Disease

131. ARUTW

 

A second version of Disease was charting in the lower fourth of the chart earlier too. Most of the chart is either old songs, Christmas songs, country songs, or MAGA songs. I hate this shithole country

If Disease taught us anything, it's that #1 on TTH doesn't mean as much as it used to  DWAS will pull the same number of streams if it's #1 or #10 on the chart tbh.

hop on the remix while you're at it. or we'll team up with MAGA for a country mix

[Aston Martin]

The fact that Disease is currently getting more WW Spotify streams daily than Morgan Wallen's latest single (that went #1 on the H100 is just ) I will never forgive this dump of a country for making that man successful (albeit locally). For anyone that doesn't have to hear the auditory chlamydia that he calls music in every ******* store you enter, count yourselves lucky.

Isn't the MAMA Awards like exclusively Asian music awards? Why would she sing there? 

Dua performed there and did a medley with Hwasa. It will probably be a medley of Bruno/Gaga/Rose if she is joining.

[bringdanoize]

new Rosie song sounds like a classic to me.

I think it can be a threat to DWAS.
