Bragging about #98, can we not??

DWAS crosses 900 million plays on Youtube Music (903 million). The video is about to hit 450 million views today as well (448 million). 

DWAS still pulling 10m

See when you release a cult classic and one of the best pop albums of the century??

 

 

all these likes. but we need the audience to stream disease 10 times

Someone said they loved Disease up to distract from Joker 2 bc they knew it'd tank and that makes a lot of sense. 

 

Both Joanne and Chromatica were supposed to have like only 7 weeks lead time between lead and album release.

 

Dropping in (late) Feb seems like they planned to do that, while releasing a song early Jan. 

 

Honestly Bravo bc Disease didn't feel like it was rushed out. The "delayed" vid was only a few days and we have no proof it was a delay - they could have just chose to space the hype out. 

 

Spoiler

Well maybe you can attribute the lack of physicals and promo on TV as a pushed forwards rush release, but the vid ate and the team stayed united so

 

I think we're probably getting a song/vid Jan 10th, then another one on album release day (Feb 28th I guess). That aligns with a promo run they're very familiar with

But honestly, I don't think DWAS will surge much in streams after Dec 25 as it's already working as a part-time holiday song. 

The thing i have realized about gaga releases is that in order for the singles to have chart success, there needs to be a narrative happening among the general public if it is to succeed.  For example, Million Reasons hit #4 after she had the halftime show and she was being talked about everywhere , Shallow went number 1 after the oscars because of all the talk about how her and bradley were dating, Rain on me went number 1 after collabing with ariana and it being a huge pop moment, now DWAS is mega successfull because of it also being a huge pop moment when 2 superstars join forced. I fear her name alone with the music isn't enough for success. They should create another narrative for the next single, something that will get the gp talking, like a feud or a scandal. I have realized the formula is, Gaga Music + Public Narrative = Chart success

 

 

Zombie Bride/Zombified is the most GP friendly snippet we have of LG7 along with Girlfriend. 

 

 

Beyoncé releasing January or February since she's most likely starting a tour in March. OvershadowedGa

The way DWAS was sandwiched in between Christmas songs being played when I went last minute Xmas grocery shopping.

 

The fact it has this wintery vibes of spending with love ones on holidays is such a slay.

 

 

Is this real?  LG7 coming to be her first album to surpass 5M+ units since ARTPOP I think

This is true to a lot of songs. Think of Flowers. It being an interpolated version of When I was your man becasue that was her ex's favorite song and dropping it on his birthday were all very intentional moves to create a narrative around the song so there is something to latch onto, discuss. Taylor Swift does this to mastery, just think of the narrative around her re-recordings, We are never ever getting back together, look what you made me do etc.

 

In general yes it helps a lot with marketing when you can add a narrative thread to a single.

A friend posted a myday of a group of kids under 5 years old singing DWAS at their Christmas Party, and the entire party singing along with the kids. Oh DWAS, the biggest song ever that you are!

Well i hope she can score another Top10-Top5-Top3 or even #1 this era.

Another example is Kendrick's Not Like Us and the whole Drake feud, people like controversy and want to be entertained 

 

As long as nothing big comes out of nowhere, it now looks pretty dang likely DWAS will spend all of January at #1…
 

it's rising on radio and will continue as the Christmas freeze unthaws… streams are stronger than ever… and the competition isn't strong rn.

Oh, can't wait for the 1.0+ radio updates once Xmas songs die off.

Can the album preorders help DWAS go #1 ?
