Daily reminder that post album singles are not a thing in the streaming era. Even Taylor can't pull them off and has to rely on tracks randomly going viral

It is a new song, though, but I get what you mean

Having said that, for some bizarre reason, the dance scene elevated this song for me, such a cute moment! Also, Gaga was criminally underused, but I liked her scene nonetheless

 

 

The way many Gaga fans cringe at her being personal in her songs need to be studied, but swifties often enjoy Taylor songs by finding the details of her personal life in her songs. Like Dope, BOG, Fun Tonight, Grigio Girls etc. Somehow we hate her being too personal with us. Part of me wonder if it's because she often write songs in abstract ways so the fans naturally lean towards songs like that, when she goes deep personal they find it annoying. Some food for thought.

 

 

This is cute

I liked it too even though I don't watch wednesday, I tried before but it's a bit too teenybopper for my millennial sensibilities

 

The dance scene is really cute though

did the GP be like oh the song is cute okay next or do they open their spotify or AM after that or what? I need to know what is the GP thinking 

 

People are being too harsh on Day 1 numbers. She legit had 7 hours cut off from the day and the video didn't come out until midway, nevermind no one has really watched the show yet until the first weekend after it drops usually. 
 

Whether it's a hit or not is TBC. It could bomb, but jumping to conclusions already is wild. 

Why are we posting the same tweet with dozens of likes? Only ATRL liddos saw it?

This is a tired excuse, and not true anyways.

 

Post album hits are uncommon, but a lot of artists still release radio singles and put them on playlists. Taylor herself did it with ICDIWABH, Sabrina did it with Bed Chem and both songs went #1 on pop radio and charted on the Hot 100 for months. Tate is also pushing Revolving Door on radio now and it's about to enter the top 10 on pop.

 

These songs didn't need to be big hits, or even have music videos (even tho that's another thing that should've happened around album release or Coachella but let me not), getting airplay and even a small increase in streams would've at least helped the album to have more stability, on top of just being great songs that deserved to reach more people. And singles, big or not, always help albums in the long run with higher recurrent streams than album tracks. 

i do think the mv is really simple to understand by new fans & wednesday audience (young adult & kids). fun dance, creepy dolls +20k views every 5 minutes, this is serious omgggg... lets edit TDD with weapons & conjuring movie too

Wasn't bed chem already doing well as an album track/on tiktok? I feel like that one is an example of singles getting picked after album release based on how they're trending

Fair points, but let's not use Sabrina's blatant payola for #1s as an example. The way her singles all stall and then suddenly gain 500 spins daily and then plunge -1000 after going #1 is..

The lyrics are the only part of those songs I ever see praised 

While I am a defender of TDD, my Spotify going from GOE to TDD to Abracadabra.. That lineup was NOT kind to the sis with the comparisons being made.

Taylor's intimate way of writing has always been her thing since day 1, it's what made her popular. The straight girls (her primary audience) could relate to her on a personal level, and  the main reason why her mediocrity in other areas (e.g. vocals) are often overlook. 

 

It's not that Gaga fans are cringing to her personal songs, it's just that those you listed have some sort of things that holding them back from being more appreciated. I guarantee you had she properly sang Dope, 90% of the fanbase wouldn't hate it. Blade Of Glass is another one- whiny, nasally vocals, but the most offensive aspect is the melody. I don't know about you guys but for me, Gaga has the strongest melody game among the popgirls- and she chose the most generic melody ever for her arguably most personal MAYHEM song. Generic lyrics- I can get over it. So-so production? Eh but sure, but generic melody on top of those? That's overkill.
