March 24Mar 24 Author #6 (-2) in the UK mids - looking great for another week in top ten, maybe even in top 5.
March 25Mar 25 This album has definitely had A LOT of growers for me, most notably Zombieboy, which wasn’t particularly on my radar initially but it’s risen to become my non-singles favourite, alongside How Bad Do U Want Me (which was always my favourite from listen 1, and I still maintain would be a smash).It’s just so JOYOUS and summery.
March 25Mar 25 Yeah it has huge growers for me too, on first listen I wasn’t feeling some - particularly Killah,The Beast and How Bad Do You Want Me, I’m absolutely loving these now! Killah is probably one of my favourites now, so underrated! Edited March 25Mar 25 by Lukuzz
March 26Mar 26 I think she has 3 absolute SMASHES here potentially in How Bad Do U Want Me, Garden of Eden and Vanish Into You.In my ideal world all 3 of these are top 5 hits across both sides of the pond... But probably none will be ☹️
March 26Mar 26 For the first time ever, Gaga has so many choices to singles but this is a Gaga era guys…which means the era has ended.Either that or she releases another single and doesn’t promote it properly.Vanish Into You/Garden of Eden for single release for Coachella, followed by How Bad Do U Want Me for summer and then Zombieboy for Halloween is a MUST.(Watch her release none of these…)
March 26Mar 26 The potential on this is genuinely so promising!I don’t know quite what’s still to come in terms of singles but at least she’s going to be active in MAYHEM promo until at least November.I think we’ll probably get another single though. I wonder if other videos were pre filmed before album release week wasn’t her team And her dancers on a set for something that hasn’t yet dropped?Also the chart performance and hold up is super strong!For comparison this is her previous solo eras first three weeks on UK albums chart.The Fame - #3 - #4 #4 (later climbed to #1)The Fame Monster (charted as The Fame but re-release went climb to #7 from #55 and then #12-#2) (also climbed back to #1)Born This Way - #1 - #1 - #3ARTPOP #1 - #9 - #24Joanne #3 - #14 - #22Chromatica #1 - #1 - #2So from this it’s looking quite promising! I don’t wanna speak too soon either but I can see this lasting longer than Chromatica overall too. The tour coming this year is a good sign! Edited March 26Mar 26 by Jordanlee1402
March 26Mar 26 Author This has stronger first 3 weeks sales-wise than Chromatica despite being lower on charts.Didn't realize that ARTPOP dropped so quickly :o it did rebound a bit later though (#24 in its 8th week).
March 27Mar 27 The praise keeps on coming The universal appeal for this era is insane - not felt this as a Gaga fan since The Fame Monster!?
March 28Mar 28 Author UK sales to date:Week 1: 55,577 (#1)Week 2: 12,800 (#4)Week 3: 8,822 (#5)Total: 77,199
March 29Mar 29 I want them all to achieve at least 30m streams but I want Garden of Eden, Vanish Into You, Shadow of a Man, Zombieboy and HBDUWM to all surpass 100m streams - I think they all can.
