Sour Candy

#44 (+11) in the UK mids

The problem is, that it doesn't matter how many streams DWAS and Abra get, their streams are down-weighted in line with the average of the rest. So the crucial songs are the 3rd and 4th most popular that actually can increase the streams of the whole album. There are two ways to tackle this: a totally new song or a viral hit from the album tracks. Sure, touring will also help but by the time she arrives in the UK, the album is probably out of top 75 at least. I think these rules are ridiculous because a ) they help the greatest hits album to be in top ten all time and b ) it is not reasonable to expect that even big stars always get three simultanious hits from each album (see: Bey, Dua, even Kendrick with their most recent ones). I'd rather see Mayhem in top ten than The Fame in top 40 tbh. Mayhem is #11 in the US which is more reflective of the popularity I'd say, even though Abra isn't doing as well there as it is in the UK but there its streams actually count.

Damn.... it's all downhill from here (unless there is a deluxe at some point).

We are not surprised lol

Amazing news, congrats!

Blue Strips is pretty good. I have been listening to the playlist of all Billboard Hot 100 number ones (currently in the early 70s).

7 songs over 1 million on a Sunday is kind of iconic...

US Billboard Hot 100 03 02 37 Die With A Smile, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (Peak: 1)

OVER 2 MILLION ON A SUNDAY

I think 200 days for DWAS is given now - what a smash

Global Spotify: #1 (=) Die with a Smile — 5.447.082 197 days at #1 #9 (+4) Abracadabra — 2.946.730 #37 (+23) Poker Face — 2.021.402 NEW PEAK #57 (+28) Judas — 1.738.310 NEW PEAK #68 (+39) Bad Romance — 1.613.710 NEW PEAK #86 (+26) Just Dance — 1.481.475 NEW PEAK #157 (re) Shallow — 1.141.032

The post counts on artists forums have really declined. Gaga is 100 posts ahead of #2 and even that forum isn't extremely busy ay the moment. Katy achieving relevance though!

I see Alex Warren more like a Noah Kahan type of thing than a "Tiktok artist". Ordinary is likely to be his chart peak though, like Stick Season was Noah's.

Dropped out of global Spotify chart.

I wouldn't read too much into AM album chart... however it seems that at least it's not losing much streams this week which is great.

MAYHEM by Lady Gaga returns as the #1 most streamed female album on Spotify yesterday for the first time in 6 WEEKS, surpassing Short N' Sweet! —The album earned 13,773,228 streams, up 4.54%! (via SpotifySnapshot) She really did THAT (without a deluxe)

Gaga is the only English-language artist in Top 50 on Brazilian Spotify chart (well, with Bruno Mars on DWAS lol). She has songs at #20, #21, #34, #40 and #46.

Apparently, there was a terror attack planned at the event but police prevented it. Thank god..

LOVE HER

I watched the recording and she was on fire! And I loved Blade of Grass - it sounds so good live.
