Makes me almost jealous of Katy Kats.

 

All I know is Gaga better match this level of promo.

 

Spoiler

I'm putting this under a spoiler tag because I know it's hard for cupcakes to hear, but yeah, Katy flopped as hard as a rock but she still gave it her all to deliver something for her fans—a somewhat solid build-up and a little cute era—even if it did end up failing miserably

Disease becoming a tri-format SMASHA  

DWAS update is tragic omg last few days had me hopeful for #1 on the Hot 100, but wtf is this update  also, if it continues like that, the #1 on Pop Airplay is not even guaranteed

If you've ever read my posts here, you know I'm anything but a fan stacked up Gaga's butt.

I'm just saying, there's no need to give us everything related to LG7 right now, with so much time until February.

It's not that I'm a cupcake fan, it's just that y'all are never pleased with anything. 

Hey, it was just a joke—no need to be defensive! Disease is genuinely great, and I keep saying that. But let's be real, this launch has been her weakest yet—it's not an opinion, it's just the reality. Even Chromatica had a stronger rollout, despite COVID and everything else.

 

It's not about the quality of the music at all, and I'm not focused on charts either. Disease will probably be my top song on wrapped. It's just a bit disappointing to see her pour so much energy into every other project, while Disease feels like it's been given "side project" treatment.

 

Fingers crossed you're right and things start picking up soon!

is her team giving DWAS another shot at #1 guys? :( 

 

Once Xmas freeze is done its obvious Sabrina's Taste & Gracie's That's Life (or whatever its called) will be competing for #1 and stuff

Maybe that's the problem: she put so much energy into the JFAD/Harlequin rollout that Disease, coming right after, was affected.

But I have faith she's going to give us something exciting very soon. She knows how disappointed her fans were with the Chromatica rollout (even though it lasted almost four years).

Once Xmas freeze is done its obvious Sabrina's Taste & Gracie's That's Life (or whatever its called) will be competing for #1 and stuff

Taste: #6 on Spotify US, #20 on Apple Music US, airplay similar to DWAS

That's So True: #1 on Spotify US, #1 on Apple Music US, no airplay

DWAS: #2 on Spotify US, #9 on Apple Music US, #2 on Amazon Music US, top 10 airplay

A Bar Song (current #1): #14 on Spotify US, #14 on Apple Music US, #1 Airplay

• Taste is too far behind DWAS on streaming to be #1 competitive (at the moment at least). Even if it surpasses DWAS on Airplay, the gap wouldn't be big enough to make up for the streaming difference. 
• That's So True has a much bigger chance of going #1 in 2025, but it probably won't this year because its airplay is nonexistent. DWAS has also closed the gap between it on Spotify US during past two days. For yesterday's update, the difference was 357k. Today, it's around 270k. It was much higher last week.
• A Bar Song is still the biggest competition because its airplay is massive. Radio moves at a snail's pace and the fact that country radio's so big makes it even more frustrating. The fact that DWAS is increasing WoW on Spotify US and continues to grow on radio is promising. 

Overall, I think that Bar Song > That's So True > Taste in terms of biggest to smallest competition for the #1. That's So True is in a similar situation that DWAS was in earlier on in its chart run: #1 on Spotify and Apple Music US, but airplay held it back. Even when a song is exploding, it still takes time for radio to catch up. So I still think Bar Song is the biggest threat and DWAS is still the best-positioned of any other song on the BB100 to dethrone it.

Janick's other big project of the moment is Lady Gaga. The superstar singer, née Stefani Germanotta, is about to release new music for the first time in four years and has, like Dre and Snoop, come to the studio to meet with Interscope executives. This time, there's a nervous energy in the packed room. More chairs are brought out. Someone walks by holding a paper cup filled with lemon slices, assembling a series of beverages for Gaga. John Janick sitting under a wall display of album covers at Interscope's offices in LA. He is wearing a grey T-shirt and smiling at the camera Janick received a big promotion in March, adding to speculation that he will one day succeed Lucian Grainge as Universal CEO © Thalía Gochez Now 38, she has been with Interscope since the Iovine days, and has formed a close relationship with Janick. In a statement to the FT, she described him as "an incredible partner and trusted friend. His understanding of culture and how to support new artists is the best in the industry. I feel lucky to have him in my corner." Gaga arrives dressed in a long black coat and heeled boots (it's sunny and 30C in Los Angeles) and greets the room, giving hugs to Grainge and a few others. On the screen are meticulous plans for rolling out all kinds of things that I've agreed not to write about. Some have since been announced: a song with Bruno Mars and a surprise album she made to accompany the new Joker film that she starred in. They play the song, called "Die With A Smile". "That's a song that is a hit, in any decade," Janick says when it finishes, the most animated I've seen him. "There should be [YouTube] shorts of wanting to be next to somebody dying with a smile. It should be in TikToks of people singing with a cigarette in their mouth, there's so much . . . We have a really robust plan." Janick has a "PhD in YouTube" according to Lyor Cohen, a longtime music exec who is head of music on the platform. Gaga is another Interscope artist who has shaped the zeitgeist. In the 2010s she combined Taylor Swift-like sales with a countercultural edge. The year she first rocketed to fame, she showed up at the MTV Video Music Awards in a dress made entirely of raw beef. In the process, she inspired a legion of devoted fans, who she christened her "little monsters". In a passing of the baton of sorts, Gaga has offered her mentorship to Eilish, noting how she struggled to find an older woman in the industry to look to in charting her own path. But this meeting is part of a comeback mission. And Janick, in his understated way, acts as both coach and cheerleader to Gaga. "She told me she was making a lot of music but just wanted to wait for the right time," Janick explains to the team. "I got to hear the music and it was spectacular." Over the next few months the grand plan will have extremely mixed results. Janick was right about "Die With A Smile". The dramatic ballad caught fire, topping the charts in 17 countries including the US, where it became the longest-reigning hit of the year. But another key piece of the strategy fared badly. Janick had suggested that Gaga, an Oscar-nominated actress, could receive another nomination for her role in Joker: Folie à Deux. When the movie landed two months later, it bombed badly with both audiences and reviewers. "Even Lady Gaga can't save this movie," wrote Slate's film critic. Despite positive reviews, the album's fate was sealed. It's a decent case study for the precarious nature of the music business. Nothing is guaranteed, no matter the track record of your artist, or your executives. "If change is uncomfortable for you, if you like gripping on to the status quo and protecting something . . . you'll be spat out of the industry," says Cohen. "But if you're a person that enjoys when the machinery grinds and sparks are flying . . . " Janick, he suggests, is such a person.

Such a nice read

[Freaky Prince]

Cute article, but we are yet to see any "meticulous plans" or "comeback mission" with Disease  Let's hope things pick up after Xmas.

[Jack!]

I'm not trying to be negative, but it's interesting to hear about these meticulous plans, when so far we're not seeing much of what's actually going on or what their plans are. It would be nice to get a bit more of an insight into the plans of the album before the end of the month.

Y'all are really entertained by people dropping low-quality t-shirts or useless, overpriced vinyl on their website? I imagine y'all had a blast last year with the 10th anniversary celebration of ARTPOP.
