Congrats to Gaga on holding that record for over a decade; BTW was truly an event

#6 on AC in 5 hours did they just leave the song on repeat for the whole night

Gaga's predictions may rise, 60 Minutes had a noticeable impact on at least her digital sales. L4S is now #1 on iTunes and C2C is also in the top ten.

Not the way you're flooding this thread

Wouldn't it be kind of embarrassing if Gaga's lil jazz side project outsold an album with multiple singles released to top 40 radio + a pregnancy announcement to kick off the era (and giving birth the week of release)?

Not really. Lil Nas X's album was $8 on release and that was for the entire week. $0.38 is pocket change; you barely have to think about it.

I won't lie, I expected more, but this isn't a popular genre of music, especially on streaming, and pure sales are in the gutter. Cheek to Cheek had good longevity and hopefully this will too. The amount of OGH in here trying to get their kiki's in to drag Gaga's side project.

It did

I'm still really surprised they never tried to push Drivers License or Good 4 U at alt. They need to send this out if they haven't already; I'm assuming these are all unsolicited spins.

The only R. Kelly songs that were removed from Spotify were the ones that his collaborators (Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, etc) had taken down

America serving

Really good numbers, especially considering all of the protests going on this week have kept people's minds off mainstream pop music + some stores were forced to close because of riots.

DCMA, Boyfriend, and Rule the World were all after TUN but go off

Not every song Ariana hops on becomes a hit like this. Boyfriend and Focus were frontloaded and didn't come close to #1. Bed and DCMA flopped. Her songs with 2 Chainz and Troye Sivan were colossal tanks. Just accept that it's the interest in 2 of the biggest female pop stars of our time, BOTH OF WHOM had #1 hits last year, teaming up that is driving this song.
