But the OneRepublic single from the same soundtrack smashed. I wonder why that was. Don't forget that everyone was PUSHING Hold My Hand and the GP picked the One Republic song instead which then became the single
Shelter Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Her next album will tell all. I expect she will be running to get collabs as we speak. 1

Assassin Posted October 7 Posted October 7 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Doctor Dick said: Of course you'd ignore Born Again. It was a song to the movie as well but can't wait for you to excuse it away with "but it didn't have a video," "it wasn't an official single" when all that can be applied to Happy Mistake and the entire Joker soundtrack as well. And again, I was referring to Rihanna's second song from Black Panther II and Lift Me Up was still a flop, don't know why you'd bring up HMH. A flop is a flop. And also Ariana's Beauty and the Beast and her Charlie's Angels soundtracks. Dig yourself out of this one with your try-hard excuses Girl, I am the one using excuses? You are literally grasping at straws to make Gaga's floppage look better? Why did you keep mentioning Born Again? It is NOT a single and it's a fact. The peaks of these lead soundtrack singles: Lift Me Up: #2 Don't Call Me Angel: #13 (the movie was a huge flop, may I add) Hold My Hand: #49 We can ALL see which one is the floppiest of these 3. All BATB did pretty well for a cover song. Certified platinum and 275M+ streams on Spotify. And Happy Mistake is one of the two only original songs from Harlequin, it was heavily playlisted and she performed it on Kimmel. It's pretty much a single. Edited October 7 by Assassin 5 1

But how about you tell me about this line-up: Spirit: #98 Beauty and the Beast: #87 Hold My Hand: #49 Did you just do another one of your famous self-drags? If not then please enlighten us why HMH was bigger than all three when they were all three soundtracks to billion-dollar movies. C'mon Assassin. Edited October 7 by Doctor Dick 2

Not you deflecting to other soundtrack songs when YOU were the one who brought up the BP2 soundtrack and Don't Call me Angel. HANG IT UP! BATB is a cover, not an original. Comparing it to an original song of a soundtrack is idiocy. It's still certified Platinum though, unlike HMH. Spirit is a flop, though. So congrats at finding one soundtrack song that did worse than HMH. 4 2

Guys, please come in here and witness the double-standard. Our good sis @Assassin just excused Ariana's Beauty and the Beast that it was a cover so it automatically should be treated differently all the while comparing the entire Harlequin album to regular studio albums with original songs AND claimed HMH was a flop when it has 335,000,000 streams which is 60M more than BATB Oh, you're TANKING sis. 2

The entire reason this was brought is as proof that HMH (which YOU brought up yourself) doesn't say anything about Gaga's solo hit-making abilities when there were other flops by relevant MPGs that flopped or bombed as well. But now you're using the cover excuse implying they are not expected to do as well as original songs then why the hell would even start comparing the Harlequin album to regular studio albums in the first place And Spirit, an original solo Beyoncé song flopped worse than HMH and did nothing to her status. Why does Gaga's HMH or her cover songs or her non-single Happy Mistake all of which are direct equivalents to Spirit, Beauty and the Beast, Born Again and Don't Call Me Angel translate to Gaga being a flop but not the others? C'mon Assassin, dig. Edited October 7 by Doctor Dick 1

C'mon Assassin, dig. Girl, you are literally obsessed with me. The fact that you quoted me TWICE within five minutes just because I didn't reply right away. Some of us have a life. We were talking about singles, not albums. And like I said BatB is actually certified platinum, unlike Hold My Flop. Meaning it won out in the long run. And I already said Spirit is a flop, so not sure why you keep bringing that up. BTW, Here are some other soundtracks with covers songs that peaked higher than Harlequin: The Lion King: #13 BatB: #3 Aladdin: #6 Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (a compilation album): #15 1 1
Tovitov Posted October 7 Posted October 7 We can have this discussion in Feburary when LG7 comes out. Her companion album for a flop movie doesnt seem all that indicitive of where Gaga is imo.

They are original songs written for the movie and the last one is a compilation set with original songs. No covers. All of them were also hit movies, unlike Joker 2. Anyway, here's what's fair to compare: Happy Mistake to Born Again. Both non-singles. Cannot be compared to Don't Call Me Angel because they have no videos and aren't official singles. Hold My Hand to Lift Me Up and Spirit: They are all original pop songs attached to a huge blockbuster hit. This constant running in circles is stupid. The only direct comparison is Gaga's HMH to Beyoncé's Spirit which are both official soundtracks to billion-dollar movies. And both flopped. Beyoncé's flop meant nothing for her overall status then I'll repeat the question: WHY DOES GAGA'S? And to put things in perpective: Beyoncé was mocked for not having a solo hit for years until Break My Soul (which came after Spirt) debunked that theory. C'mon Assassin, try at least.

Taylor fanboy Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Three songs in the top 10 for weeks on weeks simultaneously. Has Taylor or SZA done this on their imperial phases (Midnights and SOS)?

Yeah, the only time I remember it happening was with Bieber during Purpose. Bieber owned the charts at the end of 2015/beginning of 2016 with WDYM, Sorry, and Love Yourself. 1
Galah Posted October 7 Posted October 7 This (Harlequin) might be the biggest bomb in the history of humanity, across any entertainment industry. I genuinely can't think of a greater one respective to the releaser's supposed "star-power".
Xtina23 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 5 hours ago, Assassin said: It's Bruno's song and he asked her to be on it. 4 hours ago, Assassin said: actually it's not. Locked Out of Heaven was #1 for 6 weeks and Grenade for 4 weeks. Both certified diamond. That's the Way You Are was #1 for 4 weeks and certified 13 Platinum. When I Was Your Man was #1 for week and certified 11x Platinum His most recent solo #1 is That's What I Like which is also certified diamond. When was the last time Gaga had a solo #1? That's right during Obama's first administration. 4 hours ago, Assassin said: Meanwhile, Top Gun Maverick was a SMASH hit yet Hold My Hand still flopped.

That's on you because Cher's album right after Heart of Stone reached #48, Beyoncé's Irreemplazable charted at #105, Tina Turner's Foreign Affair reached #31 and Taylor Swift's The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection reached #20. All legends have that in common: non-studio albums with covers or original songs doing worse than regular studio albums with original songs. Guess Gaga is one of them now.
Solar Posted October 8 Posted October 8 (edited) The wasted time and energy on this thread is worrying, dragging soundtracks, 80+ year old songs covers (lol), falling into deep conclusions after their chart performance… LIFES are NEEDED! Edited October 8 by Solar 1 1
