I don't know of the can „kill" DWAS at all at this point  It is just me or the song has a chance to be the most streamed song off all time ? 

Oh you're right obviously. People will stream it on their own for years and years to come. The only thing they can do is pull it from the radio all together and maybe limit the playlisting. 

The narrative is that Disease was cannibalized by DWAS it always happens when the first single is too big   

Neow if single #3 flops then we should worry

DWAS will probably do decently until the album release in february and especially with valentine's day etc.    You just made me realize it might cannibalize single #3 too   Oh well, I guess single #4 it is

I knew it didn't make sense when they didn't add DWAS to Harlequin given it fits the theme so perfectly, even more than Happy Mistake

 

They were keeping it as a secret weapon for LG7 the whole time

I guess they will have to kill DWAS off in mid/late January in order to make any further singles take off.

I doubt they will... I can see them holding off on releasing any new singles entirely until the album drops. They'll probably just open preorders once DWAS hits #1 and leave it at that.

 

DWAS is essentially doing all the work for them, giving them the luxury of doing nothing since the song is performing so well on its own.

 

 

Y'all wanting to label to stop pushing DWAS to make room for a new single… hell no   Let DWAS smash for as long as it can, we need it to become the biggest song of all times

Do you think we are getting something next week? Christmas ends on Thursday

Album announcement and pre-order on NYE.

love disease but its too late to push it with dwas still smashing hard  

 

I think it did what it had to do (chart-wise and her image-wise) everyone saw the old gaga but not in a tacky way like trying too hard to repeat her old peak way while still offering a fresh sound that's very familiar of her classics

 

single #3 should be coming end of january/early feb once dwas simmers down a bit but I doubt it cause its going #1 in january + the grammys will boost it even harder  

DWAS is not simmering down

This. The better the song does, the more units LG7 ends up with. 3 platinum+ albums in the 2020s (Chrome, TG:M, and LG7) is a good receipt to have, especially when some of Gar's alleged rivals haven't had one within the last 10 years

Free concert at Copacabana Beach. Not Rock in Rio.

But is she doing RIR too?

Friend, no one said that, we're just saying what would need to happen if they would want forthcoming singles to properly take off because DWAS is not a hit song, it's a huge smash that is likely canibalizing any Lady Gaga release in 2025. Of course we all want it to continue to smash and break even more records.

We can only dream.

The way we might get a 4-single era for once thanks to DWAS

Radio's been hella slow lately, so DWAS is gonna be chillin' in the top 10 for the next 4 months. No doubt.

DWAS smashery has nothing to do with disease bombing, Disease went top 10 in the UK and free fell all the same.

 

The problem is she lost the GP being 'Gaga' in 2011/13 so it's really hard for her to get casuals into her songs anyway without big promo spots or collabs, but with the ballads she reinvented herself. 'Gaga' unfortunately too legacy based. There needs to be that total reinvention approach to the pop side of things for her to have a solo pop chance, otherwise the songs will only continue to hit gays

Screaming at Gaga finally playing the game right! She better manipulate the charts with DWAS. 
 

Disease is still her best single since the edge of glory

I'm not so sure about that. DWAS seems like it will be a behemoth at least until the Grammys, where a performance will likely give it another boost. Then St. Valentine's Day could push it even further, followed by another surge with the album release. Thanks to DWAS, we'll probably end up with only one true single . 

 

 

Jokes aside, I can see them releasing something, especially since she's recorded some videos, but probably not until before Coachella and Copacabana. With DWAS smashing this hard, it's hard to imagine them releasing anything else and being able to give it the proper attention and promotion.

 

If anything takes off after the album release, it'll do so on its own because by that point, DWAS will still be pulling at least 7+ million streams a day.

It's really not though. DWAS has all of the GP behind it, something that can only happen organically. If Gaga would release a smash, it would be successful regardless of DWAS. Disease simply didn't click with the GP, there's not much to it.

 

If anything, DWAS success is boosting Gaga's opening numbers because of big monthly listeners.

Yes and no. I think her main challenge is that she's lost the "cool factor" but only in the pop scene. Gaga isn't seen as cool by younger audiences, but they want to love her so bad. On social media, she constantly goes viral for how wild and exciting she was from 2008 to 2011—practically every other day, something from that era resurfaces. People crave that energy, but she hasn't given it to them in a long time. Disease was only a little step and I think Coachella and Copacabana will aim to bring that "coolness" back and show the kids how you do it.

I think whatever she does moving forward will mirror Endless Summer Vacation with Flowers and its longevity swallowing up the following singles. Unless she has an undeniable smash that could chart well, do its thing and leave while DWAS holds strong

Spoiler

I completely agree and tbh I hate that, because DWAS wasn't even supposed to be in LG7 and now it will be all there's about LG7 promo-wise 

 

Edited December 22, 20241 yr by opbranden

DWAS being on LG7 kinda guarantees another multi platinum album.

 

- The Fame

- The Fame Monster

- Born This Way

- ARTPOP (eligible for 2x)

- A Star Is Born

- LG7

 

And with Joanne being at ~1.75m, it should reach 2x Platinum by the end of....2028? Ugh if only Chromatica did better, her stats would've have looked amazing by the end of the decade.

 Bey and Rihanna for example have a lot more Gen Z appeal. Gaga seems to have been unable to contemporise 'Gaga' and the only way she is gonna do is a new pop smash to do it. The last time was Applause in 2013. All her Shazam top 10 is all ballads (new) or her old pop songs, it's time now.
