DWAS: debuts with 4m+ streams, considered a shaky start

35 days later: #1 with 11m+ streams, biggest #1 song of the year, surpassing Espresso and Beautiful Things

 

Harlequin, with lead single Happy Mistakes: 7m debut, no songs entered top 200 considered a shaky start

35 days later: ???

BONUS: LG7 + Lead single coming next month: ???

 

Will the TTH-assisted lead single Happy Mistakes and its parent album mirror her side project collaboration's success based on trends, and is LG7 poised to surpass Chromatica?

 

Keep in mind Chromatica's numbers:

First day: 48m

First week: 173.9m

274K sold

But we still need Bruno for that. So, no.

Why are you guys expecting something huge for a cover album basically?

As far as initial reception for DWAS, i remember Monsters not holding a high expectation for that.

If it's a joint album with Bruno, maybe

We haven't even listened to the lead single yet

 

 

+ "Trends" aren't really good indicators, for example Beyoncé was flopping with The Gift and Everything Is Love and then Renaissance came and it was a great success, and Katy was smashing with Prism and then completely FLOPPED with Witness and everything that came after that, so we just have to wait and see, nothing's written 

 

for your sake, i hope it does

 

I expect huge numbers.

coming from a katycat i'd assume that means a 10 million stream debut? seems doable.

not the thread change cause it tanked like that alboom of your fave's

 

The title change just because your initial question was too stupid to engage with

I think we need to know the tracklist of LG7 first to make our minds up

Not the liddos trying to lower expectations after bragging all this time. The damage control has started 

 

 

 

Nothing less then 1 M sales first week and 150M WW would be acceptable, I think.

It would be embarrassing if it didn't considering how hard Chromatica flopped

 

I do think her team is way more confident in LG7 because they would not have released Harlequin so close to the lead.

Definitely not. Chromaticas collection of "sales" was the biggest musical scam since Born this way sold for 99 cents.

Maybe they knew yall would need an excuse for the pending underperformance ..

Depends on

 

bundles

features

signed art cards

 

What was the initial question?

It purely depends on the lead single, if it's another bad choice then no. If she finally releases a good song as lead then yes.

How some people can be so dumb to actually think and even say that Gaga needs anyone to be successful
