US Billboard Hot 100

Yesss!

Billboard Global 200 (excluding US)

#10. The Dead Dance (DEBUT)

Billboard Hot Dance/Pop Songs

#3. The Dead Dance (DEBUT)

Issa hit!

This has now become my 4th favourite song on the album after ‘Garden of Eden’, ‘Abracadabra’ and ‘Disease’ oops.

A climb on Global Spotify today!

37. (+1) The Dead Dance - 2,263,343

#12 in today's mids. Thinking it might be a non-mover now which is still a great result!

Good it's not dropping but this was the best week to reach top ten as Olivia Dean and Taylor Swift release albums soon.

UK Singles Chart

13 13 02 The Dead Dance, Lady Gaga (Peak: 13)

Non-mover and still top 15

AWFUL Music Week report because it doesn't indicate sales for this except it sold more than 17.4k. So I estimate 18k (which is conservative estimate)

UK sales:
(first two days, 2,000 - estimate)

Week 1: 21,542 (#13)

Week 2: 18,000 (#13)

Total: 41,542

I'm trying really hard to like this song lol, I think the verses are sublime but the chorus just leaves me a bit like "is that it?

MAYHEM producer Andrew Watt praises Lady Gaga and talks about “The Dead Dance” in a new interview with Rolling Stone:

“She is unbelievable. Every one of these songs that we ever made together, the concepts are so effortlessly her. Lady Gaga, “The Dead Dance.” It’s just such a her concept. Because of the title and the way that she was singing, the production morphed and shifted a lot. We worked very hard on that production to make it sound original and also feel like something that you could really dance to. 

What I really love about that song is the live instrumentation mixed with the track instrumentation. There’s some really good bass in there and cool guitar inversions and stuff and great synths and the way everything works together. I remember when we were making that bridge, that’s where it got really funky. “Do the dead dance” — that was invented from the bridge music. That was a big telltale for the song. And then everything got morphed around that.”

#18 in the first look, hope it can stay in top 20

I hope the song can have another resurgence, as from the looks of it it seems like it’s starting to fall everywhere on streaming.

I think it won't, it's done its job for a deluxe release.. it's always a bit more difficult with those - Busy Woman by Sabrina C. never reached higher than #27 on Hot 100 for instance and it was a new song for SNS deluxe. The new one by Miley Cyrus is a complete bomb on charts (if it ever gets to chart in the first place...)
