not sure why you're pointing out that it's a JAZZ album as if The Gift isn't AFROBEATS & GQOM music which are more niche than jazz

whatever the gift's subgenre is, its still contemporary (modern) vs traditional (old) music

[Shelter]

@Ratviolo where you at 

[Relampago.]

I'm only happy this is clearly mega flopping because my friends got all salty at me for saying I didn't really want to hear another jazz/show tunes-y album from Gaga. I love winning!

 

But I'm still perched for LG7 and the lead next month. This was a cute gift for the fans that got shipped back, but LG7 will be a total collapse

It's not a gift for the fans when her fanbase hates this type of music.

If she wanted to gift us something she could do artpop vol 2 or princess die or original lg5

Those collabs really have padded her numbers

Naur, it's trew!

 

My friends can be as delusional as they want and try to force feed themselves this music, but God forbid someone stans pop music from a pop artist.

This is honestly a punch in the damn gut. I know the fans have been quite excited with Katys disastrous floppage with Ana cruel album. But please remain humble. We won't speak on that other "companion" album to a live action movie from 2019 either.

[EnoughSaid]

She shouldn't have released this. Just stick to the few songs on the soundtrack

[Toxic.Latin]

And everyone was saying that 143 was no impactful...

I don't understand GaGa fans.. So when choke to choke did well, and won Grammys and sold over a million copies.. It was shoved in everyone's faces but the minute she releases a solo jazz record themed after one of the most biggest, most anticipated movies of the year... suddenly it's just a "side project". No I am not a Katy fan. Just saying.

Gaga's solo singles this decade - flopped

Gaga's solo soundtrack lead single (HMH) - flopped

Gaga's solo jazz album - flopped

Gaga's solo soundtrack album - flopped

 

Are we seeing a pattern here?

That you know how to cherry pick?

they should have gotten the memo when the GP said no to Mean Girls musical

[Starshine]

Are these even able to serve 98-OUT or is it just OUT-OUT?

Afrobeats is more enjoyable and fresher than Jazz, that's why it has more fans. They are quite a few modern hits that are afrobeats inspired but I cannot name any jazz inspired hits in the last 10 years. The Gift is also accompanied with a visual album, right?, which helps with its streaming performance.

The Black Is King visual came a year after the album so obviously couldn't have had any impact on the first day streams. But in terms of long term impact sure the visual helps. But it's not as though Gaga's album doesn't have a whole blockbuster movie tied to it (JFAD) which gives it much, much more exposure than Bey's Disney+ visual.

 

Anyway, I like Harlequin, I've said in the album thread that it's my fav album from her in over a decade.

And it's not as though Beyoncé's album doesn't have a whole blockbuster movie (7th highest grossing movie of all time at release, now 10th) tied to it which gave it an even bigger exposure. I forgot the name of it, do you remember 

[Mitsuki]

Let's hope there's enough feats on LG7 to save It's reputation

 Well duh they're both albums inspired by movies but it was that user who was saying that TG had a visual to accompany it as if Harlequin doesn't  especially as numerous Gaga songs are used in the movie whereas only Sprit is used in TLK. Maybe Harlequin streams will improve when the movie is out.
