I didn't remember that change to the formula, so I think it's fair to assume the next album could do at least 80–85k in streaming units. And I agree that physicals are probably the biggest opportunity. Mayhem sold well, but not enough to have a truly surprising opening, partly because its aesthetic wasn't as marketable. If the next album has a strong visual identity, good physical variants, and a couple of months of pre-orders, I could definitely see her surprising on the physicals side

And even still, I don't think there were many other options besides the official cover from that Frank Lebon photoshoot. Maybe if they overlayed the shards of glass on top of this photo it could've worked, but other than that I truly think the actual album cover was the best option in hindsight

The photoshoot might even have better shots, but the one that looks the most like an actual official cover is definitely the official one

I don't think it would've done much for moving commercial units, but I've always been a fan of this pic

Haven't listened to this song in very long time, such a gem.

Her entire discography rising compared to Friday. Judaaaas!

Need last summer's Judas numbers Gaga

RUNWAY was a test to see if we actually wanted ARTPOP act 2 or not. We failed the test

Mother knows best

The way Gaga has been in a sexyy red video...

I believe this. RUNWAY is the most ARTPOP song she's released in 13 years, and we let it flop lol

I understand that it evokes a vibe similar to Fashion! or Donatella, but calling Runway a taste of ARTPOP Act II puts it on the same plan as Aura, Venus, GUY, Applause, etc… let's not give more disrespect to ARTPOP than it already gets Runway would have been bottom 3 on ARTPOP if it lived there lbr

DWAS is seeing some suprising boosts. It makes the race to 4B a bit closer between it and BOAF, they might even cross paths right at the 4B line

The US is having a midlife crisis, Ga needs to pivot more to Europe or Asia!

We need new Gaga commercials for Byd, Nissan, Lazada, Vin Vast, CD Projekt

and the reopening of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.

Get to it Barbby!

Godga in the next Cyberpunk game let's go

"I understand it sounds like (insert ARTPOP songs I don't like) but saying it sounds like ARTPOP is wrong!"

Like lbr, an ACT II project would not just be Venus 2.0 and Aura 2.0 we'd also definitely get our runway (no pun intended) bops too.

1 more pop album out she will never leave Spotify's top 20 most streamed daily artist I fear, it just needed 19M daily to be inside Top 20

The gap is still 15M~ Billie will reach it first, and even if she doesn't, they will still use 'first solo female song' as an excuse. Both smash hits though The fact Gaga is pulling numbers equal to the biggest Gen Z artists and one of the streaming giants 18 years after she debuted is actually a magnificent feat.

When LG8 pulls Joanne's daily numbers

I do hope she ends up having at least one more big streaming album eventually. All tracks reaching 100M, 6M daily (or more) after the era is done, etc.

And now Charli xcx posted a vid of her singing Judas so it will rise even more probably

with all the **** that single got from the public at the time it was released, Judas deserves every bit of love it gets these days

You gotta look at the daily streams, DWAS is out streaming BOAF by an average of 300,000 a day. The gap is going to be extremely close by the time they both reach 4B, in fact if it stays the rate it's been these last few weeks they'll cross the same day they hit 4B.

Runway would stick out like a sore thumb on ARTPOP please be for real and I think the song is a bop but I would never compare it to any of her albums.

When tf is the JJK anime adaptation of Gojo vs. Sukuna going to be animated? It's taking way too long. I'm 100% sure that once those episodes start airing, Judas will pull at least 1.5M streams daily thanks to TikTok edits

The fact this unofficial fan-edit video has 91M views on Youtube

"Evokes a similar vibe" doesn't mean it's similar in quality, you misquoted me. One could say How Bad Do You Want Me evokes a similar vibe to The Life of a Showgirl but one is so obviously of a higher standard than the other that calling it a potential for TLOAS Act II would insult HBDYWM. I said what I said and the logic stands, Runway would be one of the worst songs in the ARTPOP universe and doesn't deserve the comparison
