Hopefully Halloween does save it?! I feel like it could but it’s hard to call. UK Wise I l hope the

tour at least keeps it stable here.

But I honestly still think there’s some tracks on the standard MAYHEM album what could pull bigger numbers than this if given a push. Hopefully How Bad or Vanish get the Q1 push with a big awards show performance (or a remix…) to capitalise!

Maybe these O2 shows could stabilise it a little?

This needs a rocket up it. Such a good song 🥰

Sadly it won't be tough for this to climb further on Hot 100 as Cardi released last week (7 songs debuted above) and Taylor will have her whole album above it in two weeks.

I’m really hoping Halloween can save this song to a certain degree, but it’s looking unlikely.

A shame as Gaga herself seems to really like the song and is shoving it down everyone’s throat on social media .

I’m dead at this:

Down 3 places to #19 in its 4th week!

Still top 20!

Amazing to see this still in top 20!

UK sales:

(first two days, 2,000 - estimate)

Week 1: 21,542 (#13)

Week 2: 18,000 (#13)

Week 3: 16,000 (#16)

Week 4: 15,000 (#19)

Total: 72,542

Not in top 20 in the UK first look chart, probably just outside.

The influx of new entries and Taylor songs probably pushed it out.

We still have promo as Manchester dates continue in the UK, so let’s hope it still maintains momentum!

Hoping to see some increases for this now it’s been added to some Halloween playlists. I still think itll end up doing better than what Disease did longevity wise but perhaps with a lower peak (well it should outmatch Disease by weeks top 40).

The song will be more known as ‘Disease’, and it’s proven to be a moderate hit.

I’m more interested in what she pulls in for after ‘The Dead Dance’. Gaga is going guns blazing for the Grammys and there are unreleased lyrics from songs off ‘Mayhem’ still, which makes me wonder if we are going to have that record breaking FIFTH single off this era???

I'd agree it's more stable than 'Disease' so far.

Disease: 7-12-21-29

The Dead Dance: 13-13-16-19

(Certainly nowhere near as good though)

I'm really hoping something from the existing album gets pushed later, it's far too good to go to waste. Highly unlikely as it may seem now.

#20 in the UK mids, hope it can stay in top 20. With the Manchester gigs it's possible.

Another week top 20 would be great! I didn't see it coming with the Taylor drop.
