shadowfred Posted July 8 Posted July 8 2 minutes ago, Jack! said: That's fair but what she and her team should have released is that, despite her being a huge household name, it's important to remember Post Malone and Sabrina have had pretty big hit singles this year. Post Malone has a dedicated fan base (not as much as Taylor, sure) and Sabrina's take-off has been massive. Her fanbase is growing still sure, but being pals with Taylor Swift is only going to be a good thing for her going forward. I don't disagree that she and her label aren't scared to release alongside someone else, but when looking at things opportunistically, it'd be better to avoid releasing alongside other big names. I don't think Sabrina's album will make a significant noise. Ok, she may have the single of the year at this point, but at the end of the day she doesnt have a big fanbase (it should have, i adore her). I think the same thing will happen to her as with Miley's "Flowers" and her album debut, one thing didn't lead to the other, and I think the same thing will happen here. When it comes to Post Malone, i don't know, i don't know him much, but i don't think it would hurt either... Gaga sales is better than him.
TheHanyo Posted July 8 Posted July 8 FYI the last #1 smash Halloween song was Unholy and it came out on September 22nd. Sam Smith teased the snippet on TikTok one month before in August.
Archetype Posted July 8 Posted July 8 16 minutes ago, Jack! said: Yeah, Taylor is still holding firm at #1 with 115k, that's roughly 40k more than #2, the difference in sales between #1 and #2 is more than anything sitting on the album charts at #6 to #10. I know these numbers aren't the highest anyway, but her fans are keeping her up there. Post Malone and/or Sabrina might be able to knock her off for a week but she'll probably return to #1 afterwards. It's better to wait until later in the year, it's just when. Gaga will do over 200k first week no doubt, and if it's a surprise release, I think she'll pull in really good numbers. But I said this before... she's usually a fall-release kind of artist, and a dark album thematically goes with the fall. If anything, we'll get the first single in August/Sept and album release in October. 1

Miracle Posted July 8 Posted July 8 A mid September album with a late October single would be cute, especially since most of Joker 2's pre award season promo will end on October 4th, but I don't see her releasing that close to the election

I dont see her releasing an album/single close to the election too (even after).
Aden Posted July 8 Posted July 8 21 minutes ago, shadowfred said: the way you guys don't really trust Gaga's sales power... Seriously, it's ridiculous when her opening weeks have only gotten bigger over time. Joanne: 201k ASIB: 231k Chromatica: 270k Not to forget that her catalog has help up well and JFAD momentum will be in the background. Worst case scenario she debuts around 150k imo. 2
Mirkomonster Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I don't see them releasing 2 projects at the same time (3 with the film) + november/december are not a good time for the release anymore with the christmas song surge on streaming 1
jesus del rey Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I don't see her releasing an album in October, August is our best chance 1

Devin Posted July 8 Posted July 8 i do NOT want another fall/winter rollout. july-august is perfect. even if she vanish this time around we have joker era til the tour.
opbranden Posted July 8 Posted July 8 (edited) I think it's ridiculous to say 'she should wait until 2025 so that she can have her moment.' She's one of the few artists who has waited more than four ******* years to release something (her and rihanna? Who's left? Jessie J???) By the time she waits until 2025, Beyoncé will have released Renaissance Chapter 3, Taylor Swift will have released two more Taylor's Version albums and two original albums, and so on. Nowadays, artists release music frequently and steadily. She will never have a moment just to herself. She just needs to release something. Like NOW. Edited July 8 by ToniGaga96 10 3
Miracle Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I wish we were at least getting selfies and hints every week like in February or March...the silent treatment is worse, even if it's obvious the single is way closer now 7
Miracle Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Just now, Miracle said: I wish we were at least getting selfies and hints every week like in February or March...the silent treatment is worse, even if it's obvious the single is way closer now Tbh I don't know what they are waiting for, the album was finished or mostly finished as per Joe Germanotta and that Watt interview, I wonder if she's maybe doing a few more sessions now and that's why we don't have a lead yet 3
TedLasso Posted July 8 Posted July 8 (edited) monsters arguing over when the best time to release is when the past year has been full of opportunities It's time we stop looking for excuses regarding who's releasing and what else she has to promote. They don't give a **** about that stuff or else we'd have the album by now so there's really no method to discovering the release schedules Edited July 8 by TedLasso 3
