Lagerfeld Posted October 26 Posted October 26 There have been many disagreements among stans on whether Gaga and Bey are truly peers. Beyoncé had a big comeback era with Renaissance after her floppings with The Gift, etc., while Gaga has had some hits throughout the years. However! Stans argue that those hits are not solo and don't count toward the metric. But now Gaga has returned with her signature sound in the solo single Disease and it's predicted to be a hit for the GP. Would it make Gaga equal to Beyoncé?
Iceland Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Stop pitting beautiful & successful former actresses against each other but yes
Doctor Dick Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I've never been more sure that had Disease gone #1 the OGHs would be coming up with other excuses like it's because of her monthly listeners or Halloween or whatever. Their narrative from just a couple of weeks ago was that 4M+ was out of the picture because Harlequin is her standard and she's going to struggle to be Top 100. When she did 4.5M with Bruno it was only because of Bruno but now that she's doing 4.4M solo they are changing the narrative to "but why not #1" and it's just so back-and-forth between them it makes them look like complete clowns. Beyoncé had the Super Bowl but released on a Sunday. Gaga lacked the Super Bowl but released on a Friday. Their debuts are about the same and even if Beyoncé did do 5M had she released on a Friday, it still puts her around 600k above Gaga which is not a lot. Beyoncé is Beyoncé don't get me wrong but Gaga is clearly closer to Beyoncé than she is to someone like Katy in any metric. But to act like a 4.4M debut from Gaga is anything less than decent is just mental gymnastics. 1

So? You can't just pick and choose what you want to compare. If you want to assess if Gaga is on Beyoncé's level you need to take everything into account!

Blue Monday Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) A new song by Lady Gaga couldn't produce more streams in her home market than a song by Gracie freaking Abrams I fear we're focused on the wrong things Edited October 26 by Blue Monday
magazine Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I fear Gaga will always be a little bit ahead, but we love both 1

If you want to assess if Gaga is on Beyoncé's level you need to take everything into account! exactly! doing same numbers as disease with a country song in 2024 especially with a HUGEEEE super bowl promo is kinda worrying... still not as worrying as doing 2.2M with a self claimed comeback to charts single so congrats to them both
Bey_Rihstan Posted October 26 Posted October 26 No. None of Beyonce's studio albums did less than 300k first week. Gaga hasn't done that in 13 years. Beyonce is in a league of her own. No shade to Gaga 2
Zaram Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Looking at the daily streams it seems more like that Katy and Beyonce are on the same level
modeblock Posted October 26 Posted October 26 we love both legends, but even if it smashes, Gaga needs to improve her touring to be on Bey's level.
