Did you honestly expect Oh When The Saints to be a streaming smash or are you being obtuse on purpose? The songs from Harlequin weren't even in the movie, so the correlation is non existent. One is a companion album inspired by a character, the other album is a soundtrack and core part of the movie.

Did Interscope NOT expect Happy Mistake to be a streaming smash? If not, why did they spend all that money on playlisting? 
 

 

 

We know Harlequin was inspired by the character, a clown of an album for a clown character recorded by a clown woman

Labels are meant to support their artists, I know it may come as a surprise to some after certain artists got barely any support from their labels, but that's quite literally why labels are there for.

The way you're still pretending like Harleshit doesn't exist… 

 

There IS a correlation there sweetie 

The way you're trying to spin Harlequin into being this grand album roll out with payola when it was simply just a side project Gaga self funded because she knew the tankery that was on the horizon with this movie. A mere distraction piece she put out for her fans because she has the talent and money for things like that which is a hard concept for ogh to understand I know…but anyone thinking that is a reflection on her status in the music industry will be quickly humbled this month when we get the lead single for LG7. have fun with the bomb movie thread while it lasts, we know you desperately need an outlet to cope<3

I love how Monsters scream ''mental illness'' every chance they get. It is not our fave that sent a mobile psych ward on our ass. 

Even your fave knows what's up

Twice as many search for Bruno instead of gaga. So what adjective do you wanna use?

Exactly that, you wanna make it seem like it's an 8/1 proportion.

This is what I don't get from monsters

Popga finally has a hit and she flopped with jazz and movies. Shouldn't they be celebrating? As a monster hater myself I rather them prasing her for pop music than for movies were her acting is mid. 

Her fans love to enable her into making terrible decisions like more acting, jazz and HAC ballad bombs. 

 

As an old school monster, I weep at the last 10 years in which she only released 1 real pop album.

What about the music in A Star Is Born? You know, an integral part of the movie and its success? Who wrote it?

AND an OVERWHELMING majority of people search die with a smile on YouTube with Bruno's name:

 

 

While gaga always being in the driver seat is not a good look, you have to choose an argument and stick with it. It is either you don't claim DWS and Joker together or they are both GAGA's.

not the logo....  post of the year.

I was about to say that lol It's very likely to happen since numbers below the expectations have been a trend for this movie.

[shyboi]

people are starting to study this movie's downfall 

 

this essay is very well done, very professional and mindful

Just to make things clear, do you agree that despite Gaga's super acclaimed performance, the movie was bad because of choices made by the director and the writers?

I haven't seen the movie myself but it seems so. never even claimed that Gaga was the reason this was panned or flopped. I hated Joker (2019) so I'm actually glad people and Hollywood realized Todd Phillips is an untalented hack, so maybe #ThankYouLadyGaga.

So Lady Gaga's label was like 'let's write a check for TTH hoping it won't chart'?

WB fudging the initial estimate yet again so it's less embarrassing
