TEOG

I think ranking the top ten would be the clearest, but it'll be exciting either way.

Made me laugh a little

I think people overestimate the direct sales and streaming impact of documentaries There was that very popular doc about creating We Are the World (The Greatest Night in Pop) and the song itself gained only a little extra interest.

I think Gaga's transition from music to bigger acting gigs was actually super smooth as both Joanne and ASIB soundtrack were produced by Mark Ronson. The career arch was pretty clear there. Wicked and Ariana's music don't really go together, and while the movies were popular, not sure if they had a positive impact or impact at all how people perceive Ariana as a popstar. The most popular Wicked song Defying Gravity was her 65th most streamed song on Spotify yesterday. She still has a big fanbase but cannot see this Petal era being any bigger than Eternal Sunshine (that album went platinum so it was a success obvs)

I don't think she would highlight the end of this era in that case, but we'll see

I would say Wicked did more harm than good for her pop career but we'll see how it goes.

So her #1 spot will be decided by physical sales.

Kworb says that Gimme Shelter - Live is the 28th most streamed Gaga track daily, but obviously it is not.

Why would she need to have to dedicate a whole era to her haters? Sounds pretty twisted to me. (And welcome to Buzzjack!)

Based on that, 900k seems a bit out of reach. Olivia did 919k with Drop Dead.

Wonderful pick, we stan (we stan also because Dance is the best song released this year)

Just shows how completely pointless the FM resets were. Also, one thing that they don't like is warm weather: 60 40 34 Taylor Swift ~ The Life of a Showgirl 61 43 66 Tate McRae ~ So Close To What 62 34 106 Billie Eilish ~ Hit Me Hard and Soft

Ariana is stuck at #4 on Apple Music, #1 officially on Friday won't be easy.

Still pretty comfortably top 75

Why Blessings got reset and Feel So Close didn't?

Both Zombieboy and Summerboy are increasing on Spotify, go go RISE!

Yes, it definitely is her best single!

Absolutely love how she clearly says that she'll move onto the next era.

MJ being the only one not benefitting from weather lol

Resetting these 50 year old FM tracks because of weather is a complete joke.

Yeah this is pretty mediocre... But she hasn't even had a number one since 2020 so a long running #1 is a tough ask to begin with.

The current music climate is just perfect for this and the story. BRING IT ON!

OOH this is gonna be huge I can feel it
