There's so many factors that go into YouTube views.

 

mostly, if your video is safe, family friendly, and a crowd pleaser, your music video will get a lot of plays.

 

big contrast to the 2009-2011 days where more controversial videos did well.

 

its no surprise to me that DWAS is doing as well as it is on YouTube, but…. Lowkey its domination on YouTube is almost more impressive than its Spotify domination. Its very rare for a music video to do as well as DWAS is doing these days…

 

so I would say DWAS is more of an outlier than disease is on YouTube. Back to my point (in which I terribly typo'd my way into destroying the point), the grand majority of 2024 hits don't have 200m yet… DWAS has 500m
 

disease isn't doing that poorly on YouTube. It's doing okay, same as it's doing on radio and Spotify. Nowhere near "huge flop" but also not a hit. Somewhere in the middle 
 

the true test for disease will be its longevity. I have high hopes that the song will have legs due to how good it is. Government hooker, Bloody Mary, Judas, and heavy metal lover are all doing phenomenal recurrent on Spotify, yes they got a boost from TikTok virality, but also because they're good. Disease is amazing and stylistically is most similar to these songs

so this?

 

 

Yes but now Gar will have dark hair

 

Lady Kukai really cursed this era, he said that LG7 would have a shaky start with DWAS, when we know Gar is currently very stiff in nothingland.

The fact that the "solooo argument" is the only thing haters have left. And it doesn't even make sense. Lord how I wish Godga would come for blood and GP relatability with her next solo single.

this and what irks me is the moments she would snatch solo hits, the songs arent desirable (well amongst the base) to rapidly stream.

All the b!tch had to do was release Alice (or Replay) as Chrome's lead single and none of these solo shenanigans would even be a conversation. But alas…

#1 Poker Face

#1 Born This Way

#1 Shallow

#1 Rain On Me

#1 Die With A Smile

#2 Bad Romance (basically #1)

#3 Telephone (basically #1)

#3 The Edge of Glory

#6 Paparazzi (too iconic, legendary and huge for its peak)

The thing is, she needs GP support for a hit. I still think we are a really big fanbase WW, but it's clear monsters are not enough in order for her get a real smash. She must focus on something average people will also enjoy and play while working, at weddings, at celebrations and funerals. It doesn't even have to be a ballad. Just something really well crafted and easy to listen to. Which does not mean it needs to be basic or simple, by the way.

 

I have a feeling she cooked something really good for LG7 after DWAS smashery. We will see.

 

 

And yes, releasing Stupid Noise as a lead single was clearly a test for our patience. Real monsters only!

who is that

an insider. he often teases release dates, titles, tracklists... He were right about Gaga putting out new music last October, and about aespa, poppy, charli, and other kpop acts

Daily reminder that it's ZOMBIE BRIDE, not Zomebiefied. Half of you are gonna have a meltdown.

Telephone and Bad Romance are the only ones where I feel truly deserved the #1 and just unfortunately couldn't make it.

 

if streaming was introduced to billboard just a few years earlier they would've easily gotten it

it peaked #4 in chromatica

 

ZOMBIE BRIDE will be announced tomorrow, along with the album pre-order and title. She'll post a teaser of the video where she's at a shotgun wedding with a demon and pays homage to the Presley's with a back beehive up-do. It comes out this Friday.

Gags replacing herself at the top of H100 would be so iconic.

Feb 28, 2025 sounds like a perfect day to drop.

Sure, Joanne

 

If Gaga got a DWAS-sized solo song, OGHs would call it a fluke. If she got two, they'd call it payola. Them and their opinions are not worth considering because their perspective depends on seeing Gaga as a flop even when she objectively isn't. And most of them can't get their own fave's work into the top 70, and so many of them have to hide behind other artists to drag Gaga because their actual faves fell off long ago. 

 

Which reminds me, by getting her 6th #1, Gaga now has more #1s than an artist that many OGHs actually stan (no shade to the actual artist of course, she's a legend). I just know they're fuming about that too
