This nuclear bomb

#156 USA while being #1 TTH is INSANE. That has to be the worst performing #1 ever?

 

[kimberly]

that US drop is steep. how far will it drop after New Music Friday?

 

 

 

will it be nearly as embarrassing as falling below "Someone Like You" and "Stay"?

Apple Music US (Pop)

#39 (-6) Disease

This flop has more to do with the song being terrible than Gaga herself. She had great exposure between JFAD and DWAS, it was a perfect storm/illusion, but Deceit is a bad song and nobody is really enjoying it. She blew it.

But how much does that really matter when crap like Dance Monkey has 3 billion streams or whatever 

 

Spoiler

No offense to Tones & I she kinda mothered her weight loss and out there still SLAYING the game something something

This Kamala-esque numbers. Oh my oh my

Which begs the question, why did they keep it at #1 despite its poor performance?  A few days, sure, but an entire week? 

 

Song is still amazing though.  I'm honestly excited if the entire album follows the same theme and sound, even if the GP isn't here for it at all.  It's what I've been wanting from her since BTW

Interscope banked hard on a comeback and it backfired. They'll probably reallocate the funds back to Billie and Olivia after this

All the money Interscope made from DWAS must have been lost with Harlequin and to promote this mega bomb!

[Katy V.!]

I wonder what's behind the decision to keep paying for massive playlisting. 

[Mirrorcle]

Ohh deceased. It's not too late to release remix featuring Bruno. 

[Toxic.Latin]

GP IS JUST NOT playing the song. time to move on to single 2

[smartalek22]

Dropped to #11 on TTH

Woman's world >>>> 

 

 The live performance in Rock in Rio 

[ronelmaano13]

It shipped, but it got shipped back teas.

 

Gaga should've continued with making GP-relatable music. These electro-pop gay club bangers aren't gonna click anymore because everyone's going conservative, even gays.

True,

She needs to switch up the direction for LG7 and serve us Joanne 2.0

 

No more rah rah music until 2028

Nobody is paying for playlisting, that's not how it works

Agree. The song is bad, a mediocre attempt to revive old eras, but now it's just cringe. People have said no. Next.

The music video is kinda very gore. Why would anyone even watch it for a second time. It's very scary and uncomfortable to watch on tv when your family members are roaming around. Now the song is a bop. I just wish would drop the whole album and let us fans decide the next singles

Add it to the wheel!!!

Can you explain how it works?

Universal (Gaga's label) owns a chunk of Spotify. They also have a licensing deal with Spotify for their entire catalogue which allows Spotify to host the music in the first place. They are not paying a company that they already own a portion of for playlist spots (which don't even move the needle much anymore). There are 100,000 songs added every single day to Spotify. So Spotify goes to labels to figure out which new music to playlist. They act as a funnel that can help guide Spotify. So when a huge star like Gaga releases a lead single, her label has meetings with Spotify, plays them the song, asks them very nicely to please give it a good playlisting spot. But if the song flops, they're not keeping it at #1 on TTH. Because ultimately for Spotify to even function as a viable streaming platform, they have to cater to what listeners actually want to hear, to an extent. If they just artifically kept songs that are bombing on every playlist, eventually people wouldn't want to listen to those playlists. Just like radio doesn't want to send a song with horrible callout scores to #1. They still need listeners to tune in, by playing music they like.

 

Basically what you're seeing with Disease is just the standard treatment Spotify gives any superstar lead single. Charli was #1 on TTH as well. There's nothing weird or shady about it. Gaga is a huge star who also has a massive duet hit right now. Of course she's going to get great playlisting initially.

Because it went #1 on Spotify organically in the US and UK. They want people to listen to Today's Top Hits, so they have to put the hot new songs that everyone wants to listen to.
