May 19, 20205 yr I genuinely think it will go #1 in both US and UK... the hype is huge and Ariana is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to chart positions since TUN. The Drake/Weeknd release rumour was fake and I don't think 69 will make as much noise as everyone thinks he will.

May 19, 20205 yr I am not confident on #1 debuts (or peaks) either. I am thinking somewhere in the top 5 both here and the US. And that would be a great success to continue the top 5 streak that Stupid Love started for the era :D
May 19, 20205 yr Author I’m feeling like this could peak in week one but be a long runner regardless. However in the UK none of Gagas #1 singles went there in week one so if it doesn’t go to #1 in debut week don’t panic too much! 69s recent post about “next time he’ll go to #1” posing with his cards. Can’t they just make make another chart for his kind and have him row with R Kelly instead of dragging Ari and Justin. I swear if he name drops or mentions Gaga I’ll RIOT. There’s definitely more hype for this than what there was for boyfriend, don’t call me angel and stuck with u though and I’d even probably say there’s more hype for this than Stupid Love too (but with SL that leaked and most of us caved and heard it before the actual release)
May 19, 20205 yr Author YouTube wise I’m expecting BIG views for this. Will probably outview Stupid Love by a week or so :lol:
May 20, 20205 yr Not to set the bar high on hopes BUT the #1 song in the UK is currently at 45k or so. Even Stupid Love did 41k.
May 20, 20205 yr Not to set the bar high on hopes BUT the #1 song in the UK is currently at 45k or so. Even Stupid Love did 41k. This makes it sound good for at least a top 5 debut maybe better! :D
May 20, 20205 yr DCMA did 47k.. I guess that is something we can expect or perhaps a bit more considering the two fanbases uniting?
May 20, 20205 yr DCMA did 47k.. I guess that is something we can expect or perhaps a bit more considering the two fanbases uniting? Is this week's #1 looking to do similar numbers to that too?
May 20, 20205 yr Author 40,989 was the week one total for Stupid Love for a direct compare with that. Arianas Stuck with U which is the current #4 sold 37,614 copies last week. I’m expecting more for this tbh!
May 20, 20205 yr DaBaby solo 45k in the UK for #1 last week but his numbers are up quite a lot in the midweeks, I'd expect to reach around 55k this week and maybe stabilise around there for ROM release week Edited May 20, 20205 yr by LMLou
May 20, 20205 yr Any position higher than 5 would be a pretty big success for Gaga in the UK, I don't think she's even had her highest peaking single from an album not be the official lead single (apart from Poker Face tying with Just Dance)
May 20, 20205 yr DaBaby solo 45k in the UK for #1 last week but his numbers are up quite a lot in the midweeks, I'd expect to reach around 55k this week and maybe stabilise around there for ROM release week Yeah I think #2 or somewhere from 2-5 now!
May 20, 20205 yr Author Ffs now Twitter is saying Post Malone is releasing on Friday. I’ve not heard anything off him officially though and I haven’t from Drake regarding the Drake / Weeknd rumour. The Weeknds release is supposedly a remix of In Your Eyes with Doja Cat.
May 20, 20205 yr I would be happy with Top 5 in both the UK and US. Top 3 would be AMAZING. I am expecting Top 5 too, so I hope I am not disappointed.
May 20, 20205 yr The Weeknds release is supposedly a remix of In Your Eyes with Doja Cat. This is confirmed but it's not a competition really.
May 20, 20205 yr Post Malone may be a threat in the US but he's never had a song debut higher than #4 in the UK, Gaga could easily out-debut him if he's releasing given the mass hype and instant radio / presumably streaming playlist support.
May 21, 20205 yr I think this will have a big lead on iTunes for a week or so, Spotify maybe Top 10 for a few weeks, supported by the album release.
