I’m getting my hopes up now. I may have even streamed it 10 times today simultaneously on Spotify and Apple on 2 devices on mute whilst I was on the phone for a work meeting :blush:

 

Do continuous streams count? I'm sure I've read conflicting reports :drama:

I think she’s gonna do it!

 

By around 3/4K copies.

 

Next week seems even more promising though I think! But I’m feeling rather positive right now.

 

If this manages it this will be Gagas first pop album to have a #1 since 2009! Her first pop #1 since 2010!

 

And on Friday it’s basically confirmed enough it’s at least #10 so this is her first year since 2013 where she’s had two top tens in a calendar year!

Also to be sure put it on volume 1 in case they discount muted streams :kink:

 

BUT YES DANDY, work :cheer:

I streamed this 10+ times today in amongst a playlist of other Ari/Gaga songs! Rooting for them so badly.

May have to leave this thread because I'm getting way too hyped and I don't wanna end up being bitterly disappointed if it doesn't happen on Friday :cheeseblock:

These are my exact thoughts and feelings! Joseph shared a lot of info with me that suggests if things continue, it'll be #1 but... my brain can't accept or register this for fear of being disappointed. At the moment I am happy and content with a top 2 finish - #1 will be a(n amazing) bonus!

9k seems like a solid enough lead doesn't it? The YouTube views must be a big bolster.

I'm allowing myself to get excited for #1 because I'd be perfectly happy with a #2 debut. Would be fantastic to achieve her first #1 debut and I think she will!

So now it HAS to go #01 :cry:

Get that #1, Queen of Pop! :jump:

Calling Jordan Lee! Finally got an answer to your question.

 

Reading the Shallow thread back, on the week it first got to #1 officially, Shallow never got higher than #5 on Spotify! On the Friday it was announced as #1, it climbed to #4 on Spotify!

 

In its second week at #1, it got to #2 on Spotify part way through that week.

 

That gives me more hope for Rain On Me now!

Missing SPOTIFY, YOUTUBE for Tue, APPLE STRM for Mon, Tue.

 

1 RAIN ON ME (42.98k)

 

2 ROCKSTAR (33.98k)

 

No Apple streams for two days.

 

 

Will the missing data be enough for a catch up!? HELP SOMEONE THAT IS MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE ON CHARTS :cry:

I’m so nervous. The gap shortening so little is a good sign but the fact AM has 2 days missing means DaBaby is gonna get a huge update tomorrow and then the double streams that are added from Thursday to Friday will benefit him

 

A steady couple of days on Spotify and AM should be enough, I think

^ my exact thoughts!

 

I think it'll drop to #3 on Spotify today and maybe AM too.

In terms of the US charts - they have “re-calibrated” the radio impact for this week. Not 100% sure what it all means but it meant that radio had less impact on the chart, which is good for ROM as radio is the area where it would be way behind it’s biggest competition “Savage”

I think Rockstar will benefit even more, that might be ROM's biggest competition actually.

'Rain On Me' sold about 6,790 yesterday and 'Rockstar' sold about 7,060. If both sell at the same rate then 'Rain On Me' finishes with 56,560 and 'Rockstar' finishes with 48,100. Of course you need to factor in missing data, but 'Rain On Me' will benefit a lot from that too and it'll probably be too much a gap for 'Rockstar' to overtake.

 

Last Wednesday, 'Rockstar' was on 32,855 (although there was Apple streams for Monday, which there isn't in today's update) and ended up with 57,429. Considering 'Rain On Me' is set to finish on nearly that without even factoring in missing data, I think it should be safe.

LIAMK!!!! I HOPE YOU'RE NOT BUILDING MY EMOTIONS UP ONLY FOR THEM TO BE TORN DOWN ON FRIDAY :cry: > must remember that #2 is an amazing achievement too x <
