Yeah I think a part of this is genuinely just that her music isn't well suited for summer, I'd imagine she sees a boost in the fall where it is more appropriate. Lots of artists with more varied discographies have this pattern as well. Ie. Shallow and AWRUTW do much better and rise to her top 5 during the fall and winter but have fallen to her lower top ten in the summer.

It is really quite despicable to involve a genocide into petty stan wars. I don't know this guys deal but this is clearly not a good faith effort to discuss anything and there really is no purpose for this thread.

Yeah it really is a shame. It's such a great concept and I am grateful that artists at that caliber and with that level of resources went for something so bonkers. Still, I think you can tell that it really bothered Todd how much the alt right hooked onto the first one and desperately wanted to poke a hole in that, at the expense of the story ultimately.

"The offers have stopped" and mentioning her cameo in one of the biggest blockbusters of the year in the same sentence lol. I mean it really is a testament to her demand that they brought her in for a totally unnecessary cameo because of how much the industry loves her. Anyways, it is simply and demonstrably untrue from both a commercial and critical perspective that ASIB is her only successful role. The $12m paycheck for Joker demonstrates her status in the industry and her string of cameo appearances demonstrates her continued demand. I don't think Katy would have much success in film though, SA apologia is even more toxic in the film industry after the Weinstein saga and it's not like she has any residual star power to make the risk worth it.

For all the drama here, Choosin' Texas is a legitimately great song. Even though the Hot 100 and current popular music is dire rn I'm happy to see this song succeed so much.

I know you don't have much knowledge about the film industry because of the whole Katy Perry stan thing but yeah. You're delusional if you don't think the average director wouldn't kill to get Gaga, and subsequently all of the attention she draws, into their next picture.

I mean not really. She's done movies pretty sparingly anyways (only three non-cameo roles over almost 10 years) and she did an album rollout and world tour directly after Joker so it's not like she's had much time to select and film something. The movie industry isn't like music where one flop can completely derail a career. She's a known entity in the business and a box office draw, she has her choice of parts whenever she wants them.

But who is gonna do the singing?

My bad, she is getting free Fox News promo though

She's on an international festival tour with an old song in the top 10 and a brand new single and she can only outstream an artist who hasn't been seen in public in months by a couple thousand streams? Rough.

For some reason all of the Avatar songs have flopped, The Weeknd's song didn't chart either and that was right after Blinding Lights. Not to mention Miley...

No, ceiling is prob about 5k. Itunes sales are dead and US is by far the biggest market. 100k would put it within the top 10 biggest selling hits of the year... which obviously it isn't.

Now how that chart works. It's a point system based on country and position. No actual sales are calculated into the chart. It's quite easy for a song to get high on that chart without actually selling much if 1 or 2 sales are leveraged strategically in smaller countries. If it has sold 100k it would presumably have shown up on the Billboard Global 200, which it has not done. https://kworb.net/ww/methodology.html

Title was confusing. People saw it and assumed the song hadn't come out yet so they never tuned in and listened.

I have no understanding of her decision making other than the fact that she has collabed with way more artists on her last album than any of her peers (Gaga 2/14, Rihanna 2/13, Kesha 0/11, Beyoncé 7/27), I can't imagine she did that if she didn't have an intention for them
