For your consideration, these are other 2020 MPG albums daily streams:

 

Folklore: 9.3 M
Future Nostalgia: 5.1 M
Evermore: 4.6 M
Plastic hearts : 2.1 M
Positions: 2 M
The album : 1.8 M
Rare : 1.4 M 

 

These two can’t outstream Rare even when they combine, but congrats to both I guess 

We all know Gaga and Katy are on the same flop boat

Time is the ultimate truth teller. Smile aged better.

I don't get what's embarrassing about a song or single or not going viral, is like when Demi got higer streaming peaks for her songs Heart Attack and Cool For the Summer just to dip latter, while Selena's songs going viral at the same time remained with more streams as time passed, now LYLALS is heading for 1B and PYK is a non single pulling single recurrent daily streams 

truly Time the ultimate truth teller

[Darkgalord]

You all complain about monsters being MeAn BuLLIes to Katy but then do Shite like this? 

The circle will never break..... 

[thatsmydemi]

Ngl Smile kinda aged great. Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes, Never Really Over and Harleys sound so fresh still.

That’s honestly embarrassing considering one album has Ariana Grande, Elton John and BLACKPINK collabs 

And Harleys hasn't even increased THAT much in streams as of now, it's been in the 300-400k range consistently since 2021 so this means the album with a huge push and streaming juggernaut collabs is tanking badly

[Ivan_brit]

Katy

[Erreur2 La Nature]

I was not expecting that considering Chromatica has collabs with Ariana Grande on a #1 song and the other one with a popular group I forgot the name. Honestly I am happy to see this cause Smile is better an has several gems. Harleys, NRO, Tucked...amazing songs.

[MonsterNavy]

idk what yall are still fighting for no matter how many billions of streams katy gets she's over and no1curr about ha

 

 

what even are the songs that are on this smile album  

[Taylor fanboy]

I’m sure Smile has outsold Chromatica with this “outstreaming” you speak of.

Do we really need another Katy/Gaga thread about who is more washed up?

They're both in the same boat and sometimes one of them catches a wave...

The tea 

 

But yeah nonetheless this is embarassing for Gaga and it just shows how much of a flop Chromatica was. It had the hype from ASIB + the collabs but zero legs. MDNA teas (even in quality ddd).

[bliaz]

HIH is better than all Chromatica 

[Bears01]

Both albums tanked, but Gaga specifically had huge collabs so that this scenario wasn’t even possible 

[leyaris11]

This song is my inner sprits and snapped hard... Miss Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson did that. 

 

 

[peacok]

No one listens to GaGa in 2023 so no surprising, remove the Ariana feature from this album and its current stats would be even sadder 

[Badgalbriel]

What's gonna happen when HIH dies again in 4 weeks and Smille goes back below Chroma? Monsters will create this same thread again and cats will cry that Katy is harmless, that monsters can't let go, 2013 traumas etc?

This is what makes it so embarrassing for Gaga. The bar is an album that barely charted for a month and she still can't meet it. It's time the monsters accept reality: Gaga in 2023 is a legacy act. She might be able to sell a few shows but that won't translate into interest for her new music

[burninredhot]

Looks like the ongoing fan war has moved from twitter to ATRL now

Um ok I remember all the Bloody Mary threads.

Gaga, to her credit, can at least properly translate to a proper movie star. If Joker 2 music and movie connects and smashes the same way ASIB did with a killer soundtrack, her music career is due for another Renaissance 

 

I don’t trust her music career being able to succeed outside her movie career though. Her music career post BTW is a MESS with ASIB being a noticeable standout in a string of flops

Both Smile and Chromatica don't have bops like People You Know & Souvenir so they can't catch up
