Honestly hope it smashes after all the Covid missed opportunities for Chromatica, it feels the universe is making Gaga justice for once. Go on BM run as fast as you can

[Jude]

She's the moment.

[Cryptique]

The fact that only 6% is from the US 

 

Sad that most of it wont count for charts tho

[naval23]

Damn this would be top 20 in multiple European countries without XMas songs 

 

[spree]

this is one of her best for sure, from her best album.

I was surprised that even here in Mexico it was #3 yesterday at one of the most important radio stations

Good for Bloody Mary but isn’t it all just user generated dance videos with the edited/sped up audio that’s only the chorus. The title of the thread implies the actual full song is getting that many views when that couldn’t be further from the truth

"The Top Songs chart highlights the number of views of a song on YouTube. It’s calculated by combining each official versions of a song including:

1.The official music video

2.User-made videos with the official song

3.Lyric videos"

 

And

 

"Because YouTube wants to be sure that its videos are watched by actual humans and not a bot trying to skew the view count, a video view system has been put in place to separate legitimate views from the rest. YouTube only counts views when the following criteria have been met:

• A user has to physically click the play button to begin the video.
• The video has to be played for at least 30 seconds."

So basically the same 30seconds rule for every streaming platforms.. and nope it won't be counted if Bloody Mary wasnt credited

With YT Shorts and user-generated vids without BM Credit, it's probably 100M+ Views

The fact that it's one of the best songs from her best album, this is so cool. I hope it'll become a Halloween classic in the long run.
