charts discussion Spotify Day 38: Die with a Smile 10.4m (-675k) WW, 1.8m (-164k) US

[Doogle]

Good start, I think it will grow as the quality is there  

[americanlife]

Decent number, will probably be stable which is a good sign.

[Pheromosa]

This is decent

might be bigger on radio than streaming for awhile

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.

 

 

Why would she dip back and serve "Bloody Mary 2.0"… when her attitude towards music and life has changed since then? 

It's a kii that you are trying to speak for the "people" when your nuanced appreciation of Gaga isn't shared outside of this forum/stan realm

I expected around 5m so a bit lower than anticipated but it looks like it keeps growing on AM so it might keep rising over the next few days. Not too worried yet.

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 

 

 

Nnnn i screamed at this, the difference is just so extreme.  People really don't care at all about Bruno the person, just his singles.

 

OT: Weak debut, but with Bruno's radio power it should still have a pretty good chart performance and streaming stability.

[Funnyfatty]

Are little monsters really shocked that some people expect different music from her?

 

I listen to Judas, BR, HML and Replay nowadays. Yeah this song is cool but this is not my style. 
 

If she would release another banger like i mentioned upstairs i would stream it so hard but with such songs idrc. I don't have to lol 

 

But she is a grown woman and can do whatever she wants. I still have the music from her that i love  

 

She is a versatile queen who has material for everyone so

Is that why everything we heard from LG7 so far suggests she is going back to the dark pop sound?

[Norte]

Nice top ten debut

The debut was fine. I expected just a little bit better (a bit north of 5M) but there are two things I think we should keep in mind:

1) On paper a collaboration between Gaga and Bruno might sound like it should do better than a Gaga lead single but I actually don't think it works that way. It's not as much of an event for her fanbase and the playlisting wasn't as huge. I think a lot of casual Gaga fans will not care to rush to check it out. Bruno is one of those artists who mostly just has casual fans and not stans (proven by how his huge hits had small debuts).

2) It didn't have 24 hours on spotify.

Nothing's set in stone but considering how well the song is being received I think it has a good shot at becoming a hit. Let's see how it behaves from now on. I think it's a solid start. 

[Cheers]

Bad numbers for a generic song with two stars. Bruno's payola going to have to kick in harder!

[Digitalism]

Expected numbers from 2010s acts with a ballad 

[ericcartman]

People pointing to it's surprise drop. Interesting that Gaga can't do surprise drops. I guess only Beyonce, Taylor, and a few others can.

[PlERRE]

Good

Is this debuting top 10 or not?

[Happylittlepunk]

This song is clearly going to smash later on! But this ain't bad at all for both them.  This song was carried heavily by Gaga fans during the first day.

Texas Hold Em debuted with the same numbers.

 

OT: Good numbers. It will definitely serve longevity which is all that matters.

[Doctor Dick]

The way this is literally a top 10 debut globally. Gaga you GLOBAL queen 

[Bael]

people will be sick of this by the time the radio stops playing it.

Top 15 as of right now 

[Lactose_Milk]

This so good!! My man never had a big debut on Spotify. Everything about him is about longevity but I'm happy this collab became his biggest Spotify debut.
