Hoping the album beats Chromatica's Spotify debut of 48m 

 

DWAS alone will add 10m+ & Disease/SL debuted with similar #s so I hope it's a possibility.

Telephone being above bad romance and being Gaga's #3: Classic on Apple Music is kinda satisfying tbh.

 

Apple Music Pop:

#52 Poker Face (quite high)

#75 Just Dance

#116 Telephone

#125 Bad Romance

 

 

Always liked it more than bad romance and felt very weird for having that opinion, but it seems like the apple music audience agrees with me!

You're not alone! I like the Telephone video more as well

Doing any promo for Disease in December would have been so pointless, and I'm not sure announcing the album/opening pre-orders would have been a good idea either. Christmas songs are gone now and people will be looking for something new to listen to, so she can take full advantage by announcing the album in the next couple of weeks. Plus we just got the LA Times interview about 2 weeks ago and The Breakdown with Rolling Stone 3 weeks ago. What else do you want her to do? 

I kinda miss when she would use social media platforms or tumblr to build an aesthetic or vibe for an album. It was always exciting seeing her post or put up Gaga vision videos with a better understanding of what's to come or even clues to the era, it was so engaging and iconic. This era seems a bit stale, I'm not really feeling the elements of the album as solidly as she would put them before and maybe it is to do with the lack of promo.

 

I know she's always ranted being about the music and not the bling but it just feels like something's missing this time round.

The era is messy right now. We basically ended up switching lead singles and the current lead which sounds nothing like the snippets or rumored genre of the album is still smashing so hard it'll be hard not to have it overshadow the next single. And we thought we knew the aesthetic of the new record but with DWAS on the album it's kinda no longer the same. 
 

DWAS won't die anytime

soon it seems which is great too but it makes the rollout a bit messy even if they had teased and "prepared" us in the old school Gaga way like you mentioned. And on top of that they botched the rollout regarding the previous lead.

They're NOT switching the lead single, just because DWAS was added to the album doesn't mean it automatically becomes the lead single.

[Almodusa]

So glad we're less than 2 months from the album - insiders are not needed at all anymore 

[HonourableVomit]

Disease is THE lead single from the horse's mouth. DWAS is a bonus track. 

 

 

[Snakeskinbr]

Poker face is her ultimate classic. It's everything a pop song should be. I'm drunk sorry 

[Chaos Angel]

The way DWAS could still be a deluxe track on streaming so it will still count to the album's streams (like Grigio Girls/JAD), but the standard will be used in reviews

Call me crazy but I feel like the only thing missing from this era is Gaga herself.. My explanation behind that is, DWAS was very reminiscent of a Stefani-type ballad which really shone in its own way. I remember when Gaga used to stan Bruno during her interview with Alex Fury when she was announcing Born This Way. It's kinda like she'd been waiting to make this music. As for LG7, it's just very patchy and almost a shell of something that has nothing inside yet and it's hard to have opinions of something that doesn't have context. I know I dragged Disease a lil' earlier, I do love the video and the song but I don't feel like it's entirely original. I really hope she finds clarity with this southern gothic / dark techno grunge pop emulation she has going on because it's not very clear and slightly misleading.

 

Also to the person who mentioned doing promo during Christmas / December, she released both TFM and Artpop in November but had consistently promoted both albums even after their releases. It all just seems a bit weird. I'm not sure if she is being squeezed by her record label again or if she's genuinely blue balling us.

But then her "the song is a big part of the record" will sound weird
