I think 18th will be the date. Which means we're probably less than a week away from the first tease/announcement.

with Ari on the brat remix lead dropping this friday, there will be a lot of noise + some cute streaming numbers. While Charli is in no way a threat in the traditional sense, a number of Ariana features (that are varying greatly in quality) go #1. i'd still say i think we are two fridays from release

I personally don't think Gaga cares at all about Charli's remix album overshadowing her song. If it's the 18th it would have been planned for some some time now and not because she felt threatened by a Ari remix.

I don't think Gaga cares about these things either, but from a sensibility point of view, given Ari is on SIAK, there's a high chance it'll go #1 on debut. I know we're past caring about #1 debuts (or maybe we're not?) but if they want a hotshot chance, it's better to wait until the 18th.

Since we're stanning jazz today are we ready to admit that this was a serve even in spite of her silly voices. 

 

 

If she were to sing it with her Harlequin vocals I fear I'd collapse. 

 

 

Kind of unrelated but her 60s fashion mini-era for recording L4S has some of my favorite looks of hers.

 

Hmm.. the brat remix album will probably make a lot of noise, especially from an audience Gaga shares with Charli tbh. It's probably best she releases the week after. Still team 11th cause I don't care about charts anymore, I've changed!

I honestly wouldn't mind a few weeks gap between JFAD disaster and LG7 era.

 

She can take this week off and get a nice tan in the Malibu sun. TTH cover for DWAS is the only promo/exposure she needs this week.

 

Ari and Charli get the cover this Friday, and Gaga takes it back the 18th with LG7 lead.

I think these releases would have been planned around each other. Doesn't mean it was Gaga who changed the date, it could've been the other way around but it is definitely in the best interest of both to not release on the same day. Doesn't mean Gaga has to personally care about it, it's more of a label thing. But we just don't know, there are other factors that could be more relevant to decide the date.

I think we'd have something if the single were to come this friday though.

Yeah you're right maybe an added week is needed… I agree.

 

even though I just said I don't care about charts, I would love to see LG7 on the cover of TTH and that wouldn't happen if it were released the 11th…

 

So 18th it is!

 

i don't think sympathy is a knife will go #1 tho tbh. Would be hype as heck if it did but I see top 10

I was wondering why Gaga was wearing so much black in Venice, now it makes sense 

 

Charli aint going #1 with Ariana. If Guess can't, then the Ariana remix will not. Doubt it would even debut higher than dwas' current chart position

I don't know why y'all afraid. Garden Of Eden will swallow that remix whole

Yeah, exactly. I'm less worried about the remixes, and more that I want her on the cover of TTH. (And I really doubt Spotify will give that to her in back-to-back weeks.)

You really think the remix is going #1? The competition is too tight sis for LG7 lead or the Ari remix. This is not the same as a remix with The Weeknd. We'll see soon I guess. I'm not expecting LG7 lead to to debut at #1. It will go there organically if GP likes the song. Y'all need to manage your expectations. A #1 or #2 debut for LG7 lead is not a given.

Here's two (very) different estimates of Die with a Smile's WW SPS figures:

• Estimate using the Talk of the Charts figures: 2,804,000
• Billboard ratio/RIAA formula* estimate (probably inflated but w/e): 4,798,164

Billboard ratio/RIAA formula explanation: 

Spoiler

So last week, Billboard had DWAS's WW official on-demand streams at 625 million. RIAA gives one unit for every 150 on-demand streams. So dividing 625 million by 150 equals 4,166,667 million units WW going by the RIAA formula. Now on the same week that this number was reported from, Talk of the Charts had DWAS at 2,396,000 units WW. Because I don't have a way to see real-time on-demand streams on every platform the way Billboard/Luminate do, I'm using the ratio of the TOTC number and that 4.16 million number to estimate what the latter would be going forward. So I did

 

2,396,000    2,804,000 (this week's TOTC number).

4,166,667           x

 

Solved for X, and that's how I got the 4,798,164 number. Probably inflated and definitely too much time spent on this in general  but I'll still include it because why not. Believe which figure you want  

 

Well, now that the joker era is over....

 

 

14 hours till Garten of Eden announcement of the announcement

I'm going to pretend to be dumb and add both these estimates together. Thank you.

 

Literally every single video I've clicked on on Youtube in the past hour has had the Beyoncé Levi's ad on it. This is the kind of promo she needs to have for LG7 lead. In your face or nothing.

Might as well! 7.6 million is a number that DWAS will be reaching by the end of the year regardless

Which is difficult to get 16 years in, not everybody has that!

I mean, none of us really know. Ari has a lot of streaming power around a new release and the Hot 100 is looking for a shake-up to get Shaboozey off of #1. I'm not saying it will, but I'm saying there's a chance. I personally couldn't care less about chart placements and just want new music, but my original comment meant more about maybe what her team are thinking. Ultimately who cares. New music is the main thing.

So it looks like JFAD will break even. Making it not a total flop. Hopefully Gaga will snatch some acting nominations. She might get an Oscar nom for best original song
