‘Oh, When The Saints’ is so good!

 

I really like ‘The Joker’ too. You’d never know it was a theme tune to a TV series!

 

The other 2 I like a lot are ‘Gonna Build A Mountain’ which is fun and I LOVE ‘Happy Mistake’. I think this is one of her best ballads already. It’s gorgeous.

 

Although she is good at it, this kinda style is not my thing at all so a lot of the rest wasn’t for me. I do think ‘Folie á Deux’ could grow on me if it is in the movie and I see the context it’s used in. Maybe it’ll be the same for some others too. I guess it depends on what is featured in the movie.

Debuts with a positive score of 65 on Metacritic :clap:

 

69 now :clap:

She (24.1M) overtook Bruno (33.9M) on global artists chart today so Harlequin got around 9M streams overall on Friday, Not too bad!

7million streams for this on its first day! :cheer: :yahoo:

All songs from the album were among her top 22 most streamed on Spotify which is great - people who listened to the album really listened to it in full.

“Harlequin” earns the biggest debut on Spotify for a Jazz/Traditional Pop album.

 

1. Harlequin, Lady Gaga 7M

2. Bewitched, Laufey 5.7M

3. Love For Sale, Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett 1.1M

 

LFS really bombed

 

Did it beat Katy Perry? :rofl:

143 did 6.6M I believe.

It did almost the same as GaGa's new album!!

I quite like the Joker song.

My partner has said this could be one of his all-time favourite Gaga albums (he is very much into old show tunes and the vibes of this album so it doesn't surprise me!) We have a stan :clap:

I've seen comments like that elsewhere too. It's really has a special vibe and I can see it getting a boost when movie is out too.

Three songs from the album are over 1 million streams on Spotify after two days (the obvious ones and the opening track Good Morning)

This is #3 on UK Apple Musics streaming chart (behind Nines and Sabrina).

 

However I use Apple and often find the albums chart on there can differ from the actual chart. Many albums what chart week to week rarely show on Apple and then other albums don’t show officially what show on Apple.

 

However glad to see it as high as that on a streaming chart anyways and still #2 on iTunes which may mean little but it’s something I guess! I still think the week where physicals ship will be it’s peak week here though (unless they ship during the week).

 

Wonder if this will only be available on her store has it popped up yet on HMV or Amazon for pre order?

It looks like it’s just through her website atm. Can’t see a pre-order through hmv or Amazon atm.

Yeah me neither. A shame it isn't getting a full push with physicals either. Hopefully it means the team are busy printing LG7 vinyls and CDs instead so they can attack that market hard when it's out :kink:

Would be nice if it was to get one on other sites (I was wondering if it was because it was essentially a surprise drop).

 

I do think though that LG7 will have significant bundles and strong promotion across streaming. Her team seem to be doing a good job of increasing her profile on the streams front and her profiles rising and I’d say she’s in a great place too on all fronts from her own personal life to the general publics view.

 

This album was more a gift than anything else so it’s not gonna be one I think too much about re chart success what it achieves is kinda a bonus. I guess I’m lucky to stan someone who has the power and versatility to just randomly release something like this. I was thinking off the top of my head re the 21st century artists and honestly none come to mind of someone who could release something as left field as this and pull it off.

#25 in the UK mids... hope it goes top ten with physicals later.

Hope it can debut top 40! Not too sure how front loaded it could be but hopefully the film can help it out as it’s a companion album. #25 without physicals though makes me think we could well have been top 10 with them! Help our girl out and download on iTunes if you can :lol:
