charts discussion Lady Gaga - Disease | Day 16: #111 Global (-29), 1.5M (-240K)

[frankvert]

I was expecting half of these numbers, as Disease debuted on par with DWAS, and ATRL told me that Bruno carried that one 

 

Was also expecting ~2M debut because Gaga & Katy are allegedly boatmates. In reality tho, Gaga debuted on par with her actual boatmate, Beyoncé. 
 

All with a solo song and no promo btw. 
 

So what's the truth, ATRL?

Why not, Beyonce BOMBED harder than ARTPOP with CC.  No one is safe in ATRL

Not in first week sales

Not in #1 hits

Not in Top Ten hits

Not in Hot 100 hits 

Not in critical acclaim 

Not in public breakdowns

Streaming Numbers Ratios is a lot more accurate than tour. 

 

Cause Streaming is accessible almost everywhere.. unlike limited Tour Dates.. i mean if we're gonna use Touring then Lady Gaga is bigger than Beyonce in Africa since Gaga already toured South Africa?

Mind you, Gaga being a khia doing worse than Tate McRae, Grace Abrams and other no1curr khias in the US does not mean she is "GlOBal"...

She is equally bombing everywhere else except Brazil which will stan and spam anything with **** and a pulse

[nuclear]

 what a flop. Not even 5M filters streams? As a fan I am deeply saddened. Should we worried about Rihanna returning (if that ever happened)?

yes, but what about the 40+ songs ahead of this in multiple major markets around the world?

Even worse when you take into account the super fans probably streamed it all day. Did even 1% stream? 

The fact is.. Gaga's superfans in 2024 is too little and i dont blame the fans for leaving after the Jazz&Movies

 

A lot of KPop Groups have more fans than Gaga in 2024

If anything this really proves, once again, that DWAS's success is not because of her. If the GP consumed that song for her then her lead single would've gotten way more hype. #ThankYouBruno indeed.

 

We'll see if some payola kicks in in the following days but those first day numbers are absolutely not good no matter what excuses the Liddos come up with. Old singles like Espresso and Good Luck Babe had more streams 

DWAS debuted with 4.5M and Disease with 4.4M so if anything this proves Gaga was also behind DWAS debut. 
 

Get it straight.

FLOP

Is 4.4M bad considering it did 3.3M of those outside the US? That's a pretty decent opening. And debunks the theories that A) she wasn't a part of DWAS first day streaming numbers and B) she has no solo power. 

No it doesn't cuz alot of the streams have also come from her new listeners she got after DWAS was released 

 

And no 3.3M is not an impressive debut for someone with 108m monthly listeners

i won't say it flopped but definitely underwhelming

She quite literally did the same numbers she did in 2020 despite the Spotify userbase going from 299M customers to 626M costumers  And why would we be impressed by a MPG lead single doing 3.3M outside the US? If anything it just highlights how disastrous her numbers are in the biggest and most important market on Earth...

An American requiem level smash 

 

#14. AMERIICAN REQUIIEM — 4.25M

I think more of a Texas Hold Em level of success but more global (as always) 

Texas Hold Em - 4.299M (2M without US)
Disease - 4.452M (3.4M without US)

Fornight is not a solo song. According to ATRL, features don't count or something.

Well, thankfully we have 26 other solo songs from TTPD that outdebuted Disease

Then why doesn't every artist ever reach 100M+ monthly listeners? 

Let's not be silly, that number increased because of Bruno, because of DWAS, not because of Gaga. The proof is in Harlequin and this new single.

Songs like Espresso and GLB debuted with less than Disease  and I'm not saying Disease will become a big smash like them, but first day numbers aren't a good indicator of wether a song will become a hit or not, for example DWAS debuted with the same numbers as Disease and people were treating it as the biggest flop ever, only to become one of the biggest songs of the year, y'all need to let Disease breath a little, maybe it will flop or maybe it will become a hit, we can't be sure just by looking at first day numbers.

[Mark Rih]

Good! Time for everyone to realize that the song is not good. It is BTW'd, yes, but her vocals are terrible and the melody is annoying

[hungrymuffin]

monsters getting another reality check the way they got so brave in gaga surpassing billie in most monthly listeners thread
