Gaga has just dropped a promo single from her new album Chromatica.

'Sour Candy' featuring BLACKPINK

Posted by: Kathy 😍 May 28 2020, 11:06 AM

Now that it’s officially out I can say..

Swish Swish bitch

Sounds like Girls Like

Bop

Posted by: UltraReputation May 28 2020, 11:14 AM

My exact same thought, the resemblance was so similar in my first listen aha

A bop tho!

Posted by: LMLou May 28 2020, 11:14 AM

I wonder why they decided to release now so close to the release of the album, I think I’m gonna hold off on listening to it

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 11:17 AM

It's a BOP! Gaga's spoken word parts The production is the best thing about this <3

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 11:18 AM

I think it's smart! Tomorrow, the song will have been overshadowed by the entire album being out, but this way with the fanbase behind it, it gives a HUGE talking point on social media a few hours before the album comes out and it gets its own chance in the spotlight. Also for streaming purposes, it gets a chance to be added quicker and beat the other new releases tomorrow!

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 11:25 AM

This bops! Even at 2:37, it doesn't feel too short, everything about the song is measured just right.

Thanks for spoiling it. Can't un-hear that now. x

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 11:26 AM

Get the stans on board *.*

Posted by: Liаm May 28 2020, 11:29 AM

It reminds me of Girls Like, and it could be a runway song on Drag Race tbh, bopping!

Posted by: blacksquare May 28 2020, 11:36 AM

This is...

OMG I AM SCREAMING I AM SO THANKFUL TO GOD FOR THIS HYMN!!!!

Posted by: #VoteGarden May 28 2020, 11:37 AM

Did I stan? YES

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 11:38 AM

I'm going to hold out listening again until the album is out

Posted by: Spice Girls Net May 28 2020, 11:41 AM

#SourCandy is #1 on Twitter trends in the UK

Posted by: Chemistry May 28 2020, 11:42 AM

This is a total BOP.

And smart strategy to release it JUST before the album and generate some extra buzz.

Posted by: Klumzeased* May 28 2020, 11:52 AM

I'm not too sure on this just yet! It's definitely not single material so probably a wise move to push it into the limelight a day before the rest and so the BLACKPINK stans can get a hold of it and hype it. I'm also a little thrown by the irregular structure to the song however I might grow to like that and it might sound even better within the album.

I think I'd prefer if we got Gaga first and then BLACKPINK appeared later to make more of an 'event' of them appearing on the track. Interesting this is also another house inspired song, think Chromatica will sound quite different to anything we've had from Gaga before.

However a positive is that Girls Like is sounding quite a bit better than I remember it!

From the Metro UK online newspaper

Posted by: Nick Jonas May 28 2020, 11:56 AM

I can’t hear it yet

What’s Girls Like?

Posted by: Liаm May 28 2020, 11:57 AM

The Tinie Tempah and Zara Larsson song

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 12:00 PM

I actually think them appearing first does make their appearance more of an event. It feels like Gaga takes a step back and allows BLACKPINK to command the song.

Posted by: Cameron May 28 2020, 12:00 PM

Get me in a club at 2am with this playing please.

Posted by: #VoteGarden May 28 2020, 12:01 PM

I am renewed after this song! I was able to feel Gaga in her essence!

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 12:02 PM

The album sounds SO club ready from what we've heard so far

> no clubs open HER MIND xo

Posted by: *Callum May 28 2020, 12:04 PM

This is AMAZING. Two of my favourite artists collaborating on a house track is literal perfection to me. My only wish: I need more length.

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 28 2020, 12:05 PM

This sounds like it could be absolutely huge!

Posted by: Nick Jonas May 28 2020, 12:06 PM

Oh I love that song!

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 12:08 PM

In before someone compares it to Madonna's 'Hard Candy' because of the lyrics (imagine a mash-up of the two *.*)

Posted by: Jade May 28 2020, 12:13 PM

The resemblance to 'Girls Like' is uncanny in the production so the sample explains a lot! That's my favourite song that Zara has been involved with though so definitely a good thing for me. I am living for Gaga heavily incorporating house music into this project!

Posted by: Jαsє May 28 2020, 12:13 PM

Seeing SO many positive comments

Like Bal, I'm gonna hold off on listening until tomorrow.

Posted by: Klumzeased* May 28 2020, 12:14 PM

I suppose it's more the suspense of 'what are they going to sound like on this track?' rather than hearing them straight away that I like! I definitely prefer this to a 20 second bridge feature and it definitely feels like an equal pairing!

Posted by: #VoteGarden May 28 2020, 12:15 PM

The lyrics are receiving over 40,000 views on Genius

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 12:15 PM

Enters the top 10 on UK iTunes in just over an hour!

Posted by: Klumzeased* May 28 2020, 12:17 PM

BLACKPINK stans are not disappointing

Posted by: Jade May 28 2020, 12:21 PM

400k views on YouTube yet 600k likes - queens of breaking YouTube

also...

01. Rain On Me
02. Sour Candy
03. Stupid Love

Yup already second. I am BOPPING *.*

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 12:21 PM

Haha I actually thought of that! Was just waiting for that "MY SUGAR IS RAW" moment.

Posted by: SKOB May 28 2020, 12:24 PM

LMAO at them forgetting that Swish Swish exists but I don't mind

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 28 2020, 12:28 PM

I also have the same ranking as you of those three tracks!

Posted by: Klumzeased* May 28 2020, 01:10 PM

I'd rank so far:

01 Rain On Me
02 Stupid Love
03 Sour Candy

Stupid Love is still one of the best pop songs of 2020 regardless if Gaga has already topped it and potentially may top it again on Chromatica!

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 01:14 PM

This! They're ALL incredible.

Posted by: SKOB May 28 2020, 01:14 PM

I prefer Rain on Me to this but this and SL are very close and both amazing.

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 01:17 PM

#5 on iTunes in the UK

Posted by: JulianNial May 28 2020, 01:22 PM

Swish Swish bisssh! I know what girls like!

I'm a boy and I like it.

Posted by: SKOB May 28 2020, 01:41 PM

She will soon be #1 and #2 on iTunes, the slayage

Posted by: Dexton May 28 2020, 01:53 PM

So far I think I'd still rank Stupid Love above Rain On Me! I love them both but SL was much more instant

Sour Candy is nice on first listen, I'm not sure whether it'll be something I go back to much though outside of the album

Posted by: Chez Wombat May 28 2020, 01:54 PM

I'm one of the .01% on here that was a bit underwhelmed by Rain on Me, but thankfully I'm much more into this, this is the kind of 90s underground house vibe I'm really into, a touch of Chemical Brothers there *.

Posted by: Slick May 28 2020, 01:58 PM

This is really good. 3/3 so far. Loving this era!

Posted by: SKOB May 28 2020, 02:32 PM

The video has 1.7M views already

Posted by: Jade May 28 2020, 02:43 PM

Omg yes I can hear licks of 'Star Guitar' here and there

Posted by: Andrew. May 28 2020, 02:50 PM

Girls Like the new what Now with this resurgence

It’s so futuristic is it just me yas Gaga slay me *.* *.*

1. Rain On Me
2. Sour Candy
3. The other one

Posted by: LewisGT May 28 2020, 03:02 PM

Really enjoyed it on first listen. I'm just happy to hear Blackpink again after the year wait so for the song to open with their point was brill.

Interesting choice to use the same sample from Girls Like/Truffle Butter though.

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 28 2020, 03:06 PM

I’m hearing this is #1 on New Music Friday on Spotify for countries where it’s Friday.

Hopefully it is here securing her another HIT!

Posted by: Slick May 28 2020, 03:09 PM

Hmm I like it, but it doesn't scream 'single' to me so I hope they don't push it as one.

Posted by: Dexton May 28 2020, 03:14 PM

It's #2 in Australia & New Zealand behind Tones and I (Lady Gaga is on the cover though)

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 28 2020, 03:20 PM

That’s a good sign!

I think she’ll be track one or two here in UK as well. I don’t think Tones and I would be #1 here.

Coming for top 40 on next weeks chart I think!

Posted by: dan-G May 28 2020, 03:53 PM

wasn't sure what to expect from Blackpink being on it (not a fan of theirs) but it's sounding great regardless. bring on the album tomorrow!

Posted by: X Æ Addy-12 May 28 2020, 04:19 PM

OMG this is so 90's I am stanning

omg this part is killing me and I feel like it resemblance another song

I'm hard on the outside
But if you give me time
Then I could make time for your love
I'm hard on the outside
But if you see inside, inside, inside

Posted by: Jαsє May 28 2020, 07:28 PM

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 07:30 PM

Can't stop listening to this! I didn't think it sounded like a single at first but now I could see this going absolutely OFF in the club.

Posted by: J00psyMethyd May 28 2020, 07:57 PM

I'm not mad on it. I expected more from the names involved than a 2 minute long Swish Swish rehash.

Posted by: Euphorique May 28 2020, 08:56 PM

This, "Swish" or "Girls Like" all sample this

Posted by: StupidLove May 28 2020, 09:11 PM

Not a huge fan of this surprisingly, I normal eat up everything she releases but this is such a miss for me.

1. Rain On Me
2. Stupid Love
3. Sour Candy

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 09:25 PM

This is up to 90% of 'Rain On Me' on iTunes so could topple it soon!

Posted by: Spice Girls Net May 28 2020, 09:42 PM

#1 on 50 iTunes Charts already

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 09:44 PM

Wow! *.* Benefiting from being, presumably, the lowest day for sales? How many countries did 'Rain On Me' reach #1 in? I don't think it was this many but could be wrong.

Posted by: Jonjo May 28 2020, 09:48 PM

This is addicting.

First listen felt underwhelming but I still enjoyed it a lot (I'm a big fan of both artists so expectation was a bit TOO high, I guess)
Second listen.. absolute BANGER
Third listen.. STAN

I hope we get a video when Corona is over/everywhere is running again.

Posted by: Nick Jonas May 28 2020, 09:53 PM

I want to say 35, but I can’t be 100% sure!

Posted by: Wall May 28 2020, 09:59 PM

Surely they released this early to test the waters for single three?

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 10:01 PM

That's the number that was in my head too - I've checked the updates http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234429 and I posted that it was #1 in 35 countries at 1pm, don't know if it improved on that later in the day.

Posted by: Kathy 😍 May 28 2020, 10:04 PM

Rain On Me had competition from the BTS solo member (yes even I don't remember his name oops) which blocked it from going #1 in a lot of iTunes countries in Asia. Also BLACKPINK hasn't had a song released in ages and have a hardcore fan base who would propel this the minute it's released and try to get it #1.

KEEP BUYING AND STREAMING PEOPLE!!!! NO EXCUSES!!!111

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 28 2020, 10:05 PM

We're waiting until midnight so it counts for the charts next week

Posted by: Liam.k. May 28 2020, 10:05 PM

Ah thank you, yes that must explain it!

Posted by: Kathy 😍 May 28 2020, 10:06 PM

I want receipts come 00:00

Posted by: Wall May 28 2020, 11:01 PM

I wonder if it will manage to debut top 75 in the UK tomorrow?

Posted by: Wall May 28 2020, 11:04 PM

It’s also #1 on NMF UK

I wonder if this could go top 10 next week?

Posted by: ...ready for it May 28 2020, 11:40 PM

I heard this earlier, it's good.

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 29 2020, 12:25 AM

#1 on NMF is a brilliant feat for this!

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 29 2020, 12:30 AM

This is definitely charting next week then Top 20 I’m saying could happen possibly higher based on the pure sales just depends what happens on streams after tomorrow.

BLACKPINK coming for their biggest UK hit to date and Gaga getting another smash! This could be genuinely cross over and be one of those album tracks what goes onto chart after the first week too. Perfect length for streaming, another combination of two big fanbase acts etc.. It’s the closest thing to an urban sounding track on the album too and that style of music usually slays in streams it’s kinda like the 7 rings of chromatica.

YouTube views will be crazy for this too

Posted by: Stu1985 May 29 2020, 12:35 AM

Can’t wait to hear this out ngl.

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 29 2020, 12:36 AM

Does track one on NMF on Spotify when a big artist releases an album usually mean future single?

When Ariana released sweetener was breathin track one or break up with ur gf for thank u, next. (I’m gonna check this out actually once I stop playing chromatica on loop)

Definitely promising though. It’s amazing to see the streaming support she gets now though

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 29 2020, 01:40 AM

This is easily my least favourite track on the album, it's still a 6/10 (maybe 7) but so far below all the other tracks it's unreal.

It's like a lightweight 'Swish Swish'.

Posted by: Wall May 29 2020, 03:31 AM

Also #9 on TTH.

Damn! She’s truly got another huge hit on her hands

Posted by: Kathy 😍 May 29 2020, 10:44 AM

So apparently "Sour Candy" has been sent to Australian radio stations as the third single from the album..?

Posted by: CXNDÆRELLA-12 May 29 2020, 10:57 AM

This is a bit underwhelming :/ I mean it's good but I was waiting for it to GO OFF and it never did.

Posted by: Kathy 😍 May 29 2020, 02:19 PM

Oh wow and it was out of nowhere too in the middle of the day..

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 29 2020, 02:21 PM

Better f***ing NOT be the next single. The album has so many better and more interesting moments.

Posted by: X Æ Addy-12 May 29 2020, 02:52 PM

I am here for this to be 3rd single...it's giving me everything

Posted by: :') May 29 2020, 02:54 PM

There is so much better on the album sorry

Posted by: Nick Jonas May 29 2020, 03:42 PM

This is trash, but cool trash.

Posted by: Jαsє May 29 2020, 03:53 PM

IT'S TOO SHORT. It'll absolutely go off in a club tho and I do actually think it'd do well as an official single

Posted by: LMLou May 29 2020, 03:57 PM

Sour Candy debuts at #21 on Spotify UK

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 29 2020, 05:20 PM

An audio video too?

Posted by: Wall May 29 2020, 08:40 PM

So looking incredibly likely this will go top 15 week in the U.K, possibly top 10 depending on the Spotify performance tomorrow.

iTunes #5 & #18
Apple Music #12
Spotify #21

Posted by: Jαsє May 29 2020, 10:09 PM

Slay!

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 30 2020, 02:54 PM

#5 on UK Spotify!!!

Posted by: Jαsє May 30 2020, 03:04 PM

I'm growing to love this more and more

Posted by: Jαsє May 30 2020, 03:09 PM

Posted by: Wall May 30 2020, 03:20 PM

So yeh this could go top 10 next week *.*

Posted by: StupidLove May 30 2020, 04:36 PM

Imagine! I think it'll be top 20 but top 10 would be a real treat

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 30 2020, 04:39 PM

Amazing success for this! Great tactic to release it a day before the album

Posted by: Soapsfan20 May 31 2020, 12:30 AM

This song has great single potential should definitely be a single at some point imo .

Posted by: HausofGhibli May 31 2020, 05:32 PM

#12 in today's first look chart!

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jun 3 2020, 02:57 PM

#16 in todays midweeks.

My psychic prediction on this is that it’s gonna debut at #19 matching LoveGame and The Cure’s peak positions.

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 3 2020, 03:19 PM

It's holding up well!

Also it debuted at #25 on the US digital sales chart with ~a day's sales.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jun 3 2020, 03:45 PM

I’ve just seen it’s #32 on the UK sales chart

I totally didn’t check the sales chart on Friday with all the excitement of the album and Rain On Me being number one.

Posted by: Nick Jonas Jun 3 2020, 05:34 PM

That’s good considering it only had 1 day of sales

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 4 2020, 01:17 AM

My prediction is 19.

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 4 2020, 07:10 AM

100,000 units sold in the US

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Jun 5 2020, 03:17 PM

debuts here at 11 in Ireland this week.

Posted by: Jαsє Jun 5 2020, 07:43 PM

Now we've had the album for over a week would anybody be here for this being made an official single?

Posted by: LMLou Jun 5 2020, 07:53 PM

There's a few songs I'd rather be a single over it tbh. I think it had such a strong debut because of the massive combination of K-Pop fans and Gaga fans
I'd rather see visuals for something like Alice, 911, Sine or Babylon

Posted by: Nick Jonas Jun 5 2020, 08:04 PM

No thanks

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 5 2020, 08:06 PM

Quite a few that should be a single before this I think the exposure it got as a promo single is enough tbh.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jun 5 2020, 11:23 PM

I think there’s still potential for this to even better it’s #17 peak it’s the perfect length for streaming sites if they do push it.

But I’d like to see her get another solo smash tbh! But I can see this being quite a big hit tbh if it gets playlist support.

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 6 2020, 02:01 AM

I think a single further down the line isn't a bad idea, seen as though both fanbases want a video. Saying that, I want Free Woman as a single first. I can imagine it smashing on European radio.

Posted by: WinterFreeze Jun 6 2020, 07:26 AM

Debuted at #8 in Australia.

Posted by: Soapsfan20 Jun 6 2020, 08:27 AM

They would be silly not to make this a single imo . It’s the most radio friendly song on the album and it’s already showing signs of doing well since it’s been released .

Posted by: Jαsє Jun 6 2020, 11:59 AM

Definitely think they'll go with FW next!

Posted by: Jonjo Jun 6 2020, 12:11 PM

I think this should be the next single. It's definitely the most commercially, viable track on the album. It'd be a huge hit, so you may as well strike whilst the iron is hot with this. Get a 3rd top 10 hit from the album, then it wouldn't matter so much about where the other songs chart and more that they just help with the album sales, to stay steady.

I'd probably go:

03. Sour Candy
04. Free Woman
05. Alice > It's a top 40 hit now. It won't matter at this point in the campaign if it "only" gets to 45 or something as it's got a top 40 peak - it'd sell the album <
06. Sine From Above or Babylon

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jun 6 2020, 12:37 PM

I’m glad this entered at #17! It’s a unique peak for Gaga in the singles chart if that’s where it does peak.

I really thought this was gonna be her third #19.

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 7 2020, 12:07 AM

Same, I'm just glad we dodged that spot!

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 7 2020, 11:17 AM

Posted by: Jαsє Jun 7 2020, 03:55 PM

Yeah this is a big hit in waiting isn't it

Posted by: SKOB Jun 8 2020, 07:08 PM

Dying to see where this lands on US Hot 100...

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 8 2020, 08:47 PM

Let that sink in for a second.

Posted by: *Callum Jun 9 2020, 09:45 AM

I’m really happy for them both. Hopefully the success of Sour Candy will help to generate a lot of hype for BLACKPINK’s imminent comeback.

Posted by: SKOB Jun 9 2020, 06:40 PM

Top 40 is amazing!!!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jun 9 2020, 06:59 PM

NOOOOOO!!

Absolutely not.

Posted by: LMLou Jun 11 2020, 01:56 PM

The audio for this has 53 million views on YouTube, already more than the John Wayne video. I can see it maybe overtaking the G.U.Y video soon too

Posted by: Jonjo Jun 11 2020, 02:04 PM

The power of a K-Pop band! *.*

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 11 2020, 06:15 PM

Looking like it might get a second week top 40 in the UK

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 12 2020, 03:19 PM

#34 in its second week in the UK SMASH promo single!

Posted by: davidas Jun 12 2020, 04:30 PM

Yay midweeks were showing #36, so #34 is great!

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 12 2020, 04:46 PM

Hope this serves longevity in the top 100.

Posted by: Jαsє Jun 13 2020, 06:44 PM

So this MAY end up becoming my least fave from the album even though it's still a solid 8/10 bop!

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 13 2020, 08:00 PM

Yeah I'm bored of this I can't lie.

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 13 2020, 08:10 PM

I think it's also bottom of the album for me too now!

Posted by: Nick Jonas Jun 13 2020, 08:16 PM

Bottom 3 with 1000 Doves and Plastic Doll for me.

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 14 2020, 03:41 AM

I think I have to agree. I think I liked it because it was new but its novelty has worn off now.

Posted by: *Callum Jun 15 2020, 05:09 PM

This has only grown and grown on me. In my french vanilla fantasy this is released as the album’s 4th single succeeding the WW smash that is Free Woman

Posted by: Liam.k. Jun 16 2020, 04:32 PM

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 16 2020, 04:38 PM

oMG!

I can't make out a single lyric in that what is happening

Is this the 3rd single then?

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jun 16 2020, 04:43 PM

I’m screaming at how hard it is to actually see the lyrics on that it’s made my eyes hurt!

Maybe this is getting single treatment cashing in whilst it’s still relatively popular kinda thing.

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 16 2020, 04:46 PM

Her lyric videos are always an iconic state - remember The Cure?

Posted by: JaneJ Jun 16 2020, 04:54 PM

Looks like yes. Brace yourself hahaha

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jun 16 2020, 05:00 PM

Please no.

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 16 2020, 05:30 PM

Yeah, I ain't watching that ever again but at least her camp are doing something... I guess?

Posted by: Wall Jun 16 2020, 07:21 PM

Legit me

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ Jun 16 2020, 08:43 PM

i love the lyric video

Posted by: Wall Jun 17 2020, 10:26 PM

Playlisted by Capital!

Looks like this is single #3!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Posted by: Jonjo Jun 17 2020, 11:18 PM

YAS! This is the correct choice! It's an easy hit for them! It's a great song. It's ridiculously catchy and addictive. I hope they can all get together for a proper video soon, coz that video... honestly... AGOG at even the thought of it.

It's definitely the most sensible choice of single, should they decide to officially push it further (haven't Capital playlisted non-singles that have done well on downloads before? - they're a lot more laxed than Radio 1 for example). May as well strike whilst the iron is still hot with this one... the worst it'll do is keep it's peak in the same position it's currently at, imo. The best it'll do is peak higher and become a legit hit (which I honestly believe it could be - it's not even my favourite on the album).

But yeah, until it's officially announced, I'm not going to say this is a single (although all signs are currently pointing to that!)

Posted by: StupidLove Jun 17 2020, 11:56 PM

Would've rather they pushed Free Woman or even Alice before Sour Candy.

I mean it'll do well regardless, but meh it's certainly not an album highlight.

Posted by: Oricon Jun 18 2020, 02:07 AM

I can see Alice as a single but most definitely not Free Woman. Honestly Chromatica doesn't scream like an album which has a lot of hit singles potential to me bar the currently released ones,

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jun 18 2020, 06:28 AM

I've heard from one of the insider accounts that we shouldn't expect a 3rd single any time soon, and I've also heard Capital sometimes playlist non-singles so while this does seem to hint at it being the 3rd single, it's not confirmed (yet!)

Mess.

Posted by: Oricon Jun 18 2020, 08:08 AM

I mean it’s her most complete piece of work for me. Every song I don’t skip and listen. Saying that even ‘Sour Candy’ which I think has the most hit potential isn’t a smash in waiting but rather her chance at maintaining the mainstream success she’s currently enjoying.

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ Jun 18 2020, 10:42 AM

nailed it on the head!

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jun 18 2020, 12:18 PM

Sour Candy definitely has hit potential.

It has three things in its favour

1. Short length
2. It’s the closest thing to a “urban / rap” song on the album (like I know it’s a pop song but it does have a streaming friendly sound as it has like the trap kinda sound what 7 rings by Ari did.
3. BLACKPINK feature

It’s already charted at #17 too! I think it will work well I can see radio playing it and can see it taking off with the more exposure it gets.

Posted by: Jαsє Jun 27 2020, 12:45 PM

BLACKPINK's Jenny is sad it's so short. I feel her.

I AM ACTUALLY DECEASED AT THIS

Skskksksksks

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 2 2020, 10:19 AM

I think this will actually be my least favourite regular Gaga single ever if it happens, even beating 'Applause'.

Posted by: Jαsє Jul 2 2020, 11:52 AM

Why do I lowkey find this a bop?

Such high quality, and it doesn't make seeing any of the words any easier

Posted by: HausofGhibli Jul 25 2020, 12:43 PM

100 million streams on Spotify now!

Posted by: SKOB Jul 25 2020, 06:04 PM

Yass little promo single smash!

Posted by: StupidLove Jul 28 2020, 12:38 AM

I wonder if it can cross 200m streams?

Probably if it becomes a single at the end of the year, if not it's going to be a long ride to 200m streams! Still great for a promo track.

Posted by: SKOB Jul 28 2020, 06:35 AM

I think it's doing like 300k daily on Spotify? Will obviously fade out a bit but can see it reaching 200M at some point.

3 x 200M is nothing to sniff at on an album and ROM can actually go very high depending on the presence in pop culture... look at how well Shallow is still going.

That's too much information for Little Detectives!

Posted by: Sour Candy Oct 4 2020, 07:32 AM

Shame that this wasn't included on The Album. Although 8 tracks and 24 minutes is kind of neat - 9 tracks would've looked messier lol

Still a username-worthy bop!

Yass can't wait!

Looking forward to nice little streaming boost for my theme song

Posted by: HausofGhibli Oct 13 2020, 08:08 PM

Love that sneak peak! Excited to see if it has an effect on the charts for the song.

Posted by: Sour Candy Oct 14 2020, 06:29 PM

Watched the doc, it has kinda sad vibe on it - they come from YG after all, but they come across as lovely people.

Sour Candy is featured right in the beginning!

Posted by: Sour Candy Oct 15 2020, 06:17 AM

By the way, the documentary reveals that Blackpink recorded their part on Sour Candy just before new year so it was finished early this year.

Posted by: Sour Candy Oct 18 2020, 06:26 PM

The truth right there

Posted by: HausofGhibli Oct 18 2020, 06:40 PM

It's in my bottom 2 x

This is now the MOST SUCCESSFUL SONG by a KPop act on the Billboard dance/electronic chart. It has charted there for 5 months (and isn't even a single)

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Oct 29 2020, 11:17 PM

It's in my bottom 1!

Posted by: Sour Candy Oct 30 2020, 07:50 PM

Accurate tho

Posted by: Adelita Nov 30 2020, 03:17 PM

Cancelled.

Posted by: Santa Haus Dec 2 2020, 06:05 PM

I'm hoping the song is played on the Oreo advert in the new year and it gets a push as a single. Far away from my fave but at this point, any exposure is welcomed

Posted by: Sour Candy Dec 3 2020, 07:34 AM

Posted by: Sour Candy Dec 3 2020, 03:22 PM

I'm 100% here for Sour Candy music video, the song is a smash already and will have the BLINKS supporting it too.

Posted by: Santa Haus Dec 3 2020, 04:54 PM

It's what we need!!

Posted by: Jαsє Dec 3 2020, 05:18 PM

I fear for Tawdry's reaction if Sour Candy is getting pushed next

Posted by: Jαsє Dec 3 2020, 05:23 PM

Viva Forever teas tbh

Posted by: dannjohn Dec 10 2020, 11:34 AM

it wasnt really that popular when it was released as a promo single was it?

Posted by: Sour Candy Dec 10 2020, 12:15 PM

It has 167 million streams on Spotify and it's my username, so have to disagree

Posted by: Santa Haus Dec 10 2020, 04:37 PM

As far as promo singles go, it was very popular! The streams are very impressive and it set records in the US with Blackpink's involvement. Comparing it to other promo singles she has had (A-Yo, Dope etc) I think it's one of her most successful!

Posted by: Jαsє Dec 11 2020, 05:22 PM

Posted by: Jαsє Dec 11 2020, 05:26 PM

Not surprising in the slightest

Posted by: Santa Haus Dec 11 2020, 06:00 PM

Everyone that has worked with Gaga has been nothing but positive towards her attitude, work ethic and general personality.

Posted by: Sour Candy Dec 14 2020, 07:49 PM

Sing it with Oreo drops tomorrow... What do you think, will we get the SC video?

https://www.singitwithoreo.com/

Posted by: Santa Haus Dec 14 2020, 07:59 PM

I doubt we're getting it this early tbh - I think it's just going to be a promo video/commercial tomorrow (if that)

Posted by: Jαsє Dec 14 2020, 09:57 PM

Hoping we don't get anything until January because it'll just get forgotten about with all the Christmas stuff!

Posted by: Santa Haus Dec 14 2020, 10:09 PM

Yeah that is very true actually! First thing in January would be the perfect time.
