Great for Lady Gaga!

 

I can't see Katy debuting top 10 tbh

Katy should manage top 5 if the song is instantly added to spotify and it's GOOD.

hope KP learns from past mistakes (i.e. Apple Streaming exclusives do not work) and it's more Roar/Dark Horse than Rise/Unconditionally :)

I'd be very surprised if Katy did an Apple exclusive again, it was a massive mistake last time (plus the fact Rise wasn't that strong a song anyway). I think Katy can debut top 5 at least, she's not disappointed with a lead single so far imo so I've got a lot of faith in this being a smash.

Yes at Gaga getting 2 Top 40 album entires - much needed sales boost for 'Joanne', I hope she has a further single planned to keep up momentum.

Two albums in top 40 is more than I could ever dream of after a Super Bowl performance... it even wasn't in the UK and aired middle of the night! So proud of her

JosepVinaixa said it'll hit all streaming and sales services on Friday, so that does indicate it'll be available everywhere :cheer:

I don't think Rise was much of a single though, it was more garnered towards the Rio Olympics which didn't really catch on over here. Hopefully a track like Roar could actually take off, plus she has the Grammy performance, a few days later, not sure how much of an effect it will do over here though.

Grammy's should have some effect. Side To Side got an performed on an American award show (VMAs??) and helped it take off.

Wasn't that more the video that was released at the same time?

Katy's single will be on spotify, there was just an advert Katy Perry tweeted which showed it will be

Stormzy looking very good for a Top 10 debut, and considering there were only 15 of these last year (the lowest since 1986 since you didn't ask) that makes it a very impressive achievement indeed.

I have every faith that Katy's single will be an absolute banger. #1 won't happen I don't think but should debut top 10 at least

One Dance is gonna be no38 again is t it?

Will be interesting to watch how Katy's new single succeeds as she is pure POP. From what I've heard from snippets she hasn't changed that much and the single is produced by Max Martin. Can Katy score a monster hit on streaming or will she end up like Gaga who is struggling with the streaming audience despite still having big success in her core fanbase?

I'm actually thinking Katy will debut top 2 now. I think she's coming out guns-a-blazing.

Sia's on writing credits too, all the signs are there that it'll be a total banger.

Amazing to see Joanne so high up again even if sales are incredibly low. Could she go top 10 by Friday?

Snakehips & MØ will prob rise a couple of spaces

Any chance of Taylor/Zayn getting higher?
