The song's been smashing on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube (where most English songs don't really do well anymore). It also went viral on TikTok upon release and has continued momentum on that platform, where the song has over 2 million videos and counting. Looks organic to me

Nobody is saying the song isn't a smash..

But for it to be performing at peak numbers 5 months in when the song is long past its peak in many different markets is very sus 

The copium from the OP just because it demolished Flowers and its' record. Yikes.

No it's literally a global smash hit and i've been traveling to so many countries recently and i've heard it playing everywhere

I mean if you look at a list of these songs on their 117th day on Spotify Global (which is what DWAS is at today):

• Die with a Smile: 9,821,796
• Birds of a Feather: 8,294,447
• Blinding Lights: 7,086,962
• Espresso: 6,235,722
• Beautiful Things: 5,920,225
• Good Luck Babe: 5,236,828

It really isn't. DWAS has also peaked in different markets at different times which has helped keep its numbers stable. It's not past its peak in a ton of markets either: for instance it's reached a new peak today on Apple Music Canada (#4), Spotify UK (#3), it set a record for the most daily streams of a western song on Spotify India, re-peaked at #3 on Apple Music Australia, has climbed back up into top 10 of Spotify US and the top 5 of Apple Music US despite Kendrick's album + Christmas music.

and this is such a cozy and passionate winter vibes song. It'll be slaying till March. 

Everyone I know always skips this song when it comes on, so yes it is fishy 

Stay obsessed and pressed af. Flowers remains inferior and this smash blew it out the water which you're clearly SCRAMBLING because of it.

DWAS hit #1 in many important markets including Iceland, Luxembourg and Singapore. It's an organic hit that didn't need any payola and that had a realistic surge to #1.

They isn't, in my opinion

NO, Bruno is the golden boy, this time the hard carry he's doing on DWAS is unreal, but not fishy.

Its peaks in Europe are good not amazing, but its streams are coming from mostly Asia and some latam. Gaga and Bruno are one of the biggest hit makers/album sellers in Asia out of their peers. It's just that those countries don't have official charts.

The absolute DENIAL this site has about how utterly massive this song is honestly hilarious. Stay mad Gaga got a bigger hit over 15 years into her mainstream career than most artists can get in their 1st.

It's shaping up to be the biggest song released in the 2020s, so... no.

 

There's something very fishy about Bruno Mars, I can tell you that. He has a Taylor Swift-level obsession with charts.

It's because the song didnt smash simultaneously..

 

1st 2weeks - US/Anglo

3rd-4th Week - Asia

5th-6th Week - LatAm

7th-8th Week - Europe

9th-10th Week - MENA

and now INDIA while maintaining SMASH Numbers across the World

 

It's still pulling huge numbers in Apple Music, Amazon, Deezer and YT even after 4months.. so NOPE, nothing is FISHY 

 

Plus, it only peaked at no.2 because of heavy regional competition while DWAS' was more spread out smashery..

 

For example, DWAS is MASSIVE everywhere and no.1 WW but Taste/That's So True/A Bar Song were more massive in Anglosphere

What is weird is that this had no effect on Gaga's catalogue, while Bruno had a huge boost.

It did have an effect. Judas, ARUTW, Shallow, Poker Face all had more than 1m streams during DWAS peak while BR and JD reached 900m. The effect just died down. 

from "shaky" to "faux hit" to "fishy"

^And months with PF, Judas, Shallow&ARUTW all above 1M+

DWAS melody is still suitable with holiday vibe, so it will survive this christmas

Eh. Its a hit and atleast it isn't like the 99 cent album sales she did back in the day

Indonesia and Philippines are carrying this song on the charts. The way it has parked at #1 with over 1 million streams in both countries without letting up for 5 months straight is quite interesting!

 

Of course you need to go as low as creating fake numbers to deny the unprecedented success of this song.

 

Lemme post the real numbers real quick:

- Indonesia: #5 with 817k streams on the latest update v. #2 with close to 2M streams on its peak

- Philippines: #3 with 758k streams on the latest update v. #1 with around 1.2M streams on its peak

 

As other members already mentioned, this song's incredible longevity is due to it peaking in different regions at different times, while maintaining decent to strong numbers where it already peaked; in addition to a significant boost following APT's release.

 

I fear the only thing fishy in here is your mental capacity
