Lady Gaga hasn't had a solo UK #1 since 2009. Surprised?

I’m surprised Born This Way missed number 1. I always assumed it was one of those songs which hit number 1 in every major market around the world.

It’s because it dropped on a Friday. The whole release schedule was messy but the #3 debut was impressive despite only being out for 2 days

To make it worse, none of her album after Born This Way managed to spend 52 weeks on album chart.

Rain on me and Shallow were both number 1s

no albums do in the Uk except greatest hits

The dumb solo metric again.

 

If the new Beyonce song ends up half as big as Rain on Me was in the UK, it'll be considered a big success so lets focus on that.

Rain On Me ~ 1.5M units

With the way it’s going right no with Texas, that shouldn’t be a problem at all. Double Platinum might happen this year alone.

UK sales seem harder to wrack up but good luck to Beyonce. Rain on Me smashed in the UK - was huge on streaming and radio, was the 17th biggest song of 2020 yet took a year and a half to get certified double platnium there.

Well, Beyoncé and Taylor has several. 4, Beyoncé and Renaissance all spent 60+ weeks on the album chart.

Yes, and?

 

picking random numbers out of thin air to say Certain artists arent doing well is meaningless

Not surprised. She is a relic from the 00s era.

it’s you fadsters that put way too much on solo hits — and saying that Beyoncé was chasing collabs and remixes, only for Beyoncé to get continuous solo hits and gaga being the one that desperately chases collabs. :rip:

Not surprised because Gaga has been irrelevant for 15 years.

We wish Gaga was desperately chasing collabs. Little monsters wish she was desperately chasing anything music related :deadbanana2:

Gaga with her 3 high profile collabs in the past decade -> desperately chasing collabs.

Beyonce with a full book of features and remixes with the current IT-musician she jumped on to build up her career -> solo legend

 

They truly live in their own world:penguin:

Perfect Illusion's chart run in France:

24/09/2016:  94.  (-93)

01/10/2016:  95.  (-1)

08/10/2016:  113.  (OUT of the top 100)

 

 

An accurate representation of her solo post-2011 career if you ask me

I feel like if stupid love didn’t leak it would’ve been number one (and tumbled off the charts faster than you can say Ferrari because it’s a **** song). 
 

her fault for not releasing Alice, free woman, or replay for the lead single

And which of the two has a solo global smash in the 2020s? (Current decade btw, not the 2000s anymore)

 

You’re scrambling atp :giraffe:

:skull: The fact that Gaga hasn’t barely collabed with anyone who isn’t a geriatric jazz singer… like ever. :skull:
 

having a collaboration on a song you wrote on your album ≠ jumping on a remix for a young artists song that’s already blown up/popular…
