charts discussion Spotify Day 35: Die with a Smile 11.3m (+139k) WW, 2m (+17k) US

[Saintlor]

Bruno has no fanbase. He has also taken a long break.

 

This is relying very heavily on Gaga's fanbase alone. Good debut.

 

The question is if it will click and have longevity.

UK #26 

 

How so low 

Could be cos it dropped at 5 am and that was when most of the online hype for the song was. 

[State of Grace.]

The Global numbers are good considering it's her 2nd biggest debut/his biggest debut ever.

 

It kinda...tanked WW though? Those UK/Australia/France/Germany/etc figures are a mess because she usually does better even for a day. Not sure if it's due to this being announced only hours ahead of release, or the public rejecting it/not caring there. I guess we'll see in the upcoming weeks.

How did "Leave the door open" debut in the top 4 of the Hot 100?

Anderson .Paak's fanbase?   

 

Obviously Gaga's fanbase is helping more this time but saying Bruno doesn't have a fanbase it's a reach

Usually yes. But her lack of longevity could cancel it out 

 

if the second day drop is big, I think those involved should be worried

Gaga's ballads say otherwise

Million Reasons spent 1 week in the top 10   - and that was after the Super Bowl and being discounted to $0.69

 

Her only ballads with any real global success were attached to ASIB

That's fair. I guess if this serves longevity we'll know why

Yeah, like how Bradley is the reason why ARUTW is slaying number 1s left and right

[whatyouwant_]

Underwhelming debut, specially WW numbers tbh

 

But seems like neither of them are that big on debuts, so let's see if it has legs/stability like all other Bruno's releases.

LTDO had a huge multi-format debut on radio iirc. Let's face it, Bruno is more of a gp darling. He never debuted super high, whether it be with digital sales in the early 10s, album sales or now streams.

Maybe you forgot or chose not to remember that MR didn't have big playlisting support but look at it now 

5x Platinum Eligible in the US and 2B+ WW Streams (830M Spotify Streams)

Million Reasons was discounted to $0.69 for weeks and performed on every television channel  

[Mark Rih]

Not a great start tbh but the song is really good, I hope and think it will smash

And that helped MR sell 1M Pure copies and peak at no.4 so what is the  for? 

 

That still doesnt change the fact that there was no Big Playlisting Support for it on streaming.. the 830M Spotify Streams were organic

This is why my money is on longevity

 

Like, ARUTW but with proper PUSH

[AbeHicks]

As a stan, these numbers are super disappointing. But of course this is not the sound people want from Gaga. She should have served Bloody Mary 2.0. and she would be celebrated everywhere. Oh well. At least the youtube views are good.

LTDO not only had a radio deal but was Bruno's first song in ages, even then a #4 debut wasn't that good at the time.

 

You can tell that Bruno is a GP act who has no fan base by his terrible first week sales, low Spotify debuts and even other little things like Reddit followers:

 

Lady Gaga - 419k
Harry Styles -  377k
The Weeknd - 247k

Bruno Mars - 5k 

 

 

 

So like 99% of his singles this will require the GP catching on and is a decent debut, even if I did expect a bit more.

[NoAngelus]

Bruno doesn't have one flop single so this will obviously peak later on...

It will probably reach #1 in January/February

Yes, he does 

 

Gorilla, Young Girls, Versace on the Floor, Skate, Smokin Out the Window all flopped or underperformed 

[spree]

Superhuman, #13!

[DockDock]

I'm just curious, how many streams did LTDO have on it's first day in the US? And how's the competition in the charts back then in terms of points?

And they were what, 4th, 5th, 6th singles from his album? How many of those were stand alone singles?

[Kiel D-01]

I am not even worried about the numbers, it's looking promising so far.
