Sour Candy

First ever??? Smash!

This returns to #1 on global Spotify with 6.707 million streams. It has now spent 148 days at #1!

I am happy with either this or Garden of Eden.

I guess it depends on the expectations. Those are good numbers for "UK only" act but not really if RCA wishes her to become a more global star.

Gaga’s Biggest US Streams Debuts: #1. “MAYHEM” — 108.05M #2. “Chromatica” — 87.16M #3. “A Star is Born” — 50M #4. “Joanne” — 26M

This sold 219k in the US, and 74k of that were vinyls - her biggest vinyl sales week ever!

#8 in the UK first look.

#1 in the US with 219k sales A hit album!

Spotify Top Songs Global: #17 (+12) Abracadabra — 3,653,940

Ouch at The Giver... after hearing what song is like it was inevitable though.

Dropped to #5 on global Spotify for a day, thanks to Playboi Carti, but up to #2 again today. #1 sometime next week again.

It should definitely stay in top ten, although in the lower section (maybe #8-10)

Some Carti tracks already dropping on Apple which means basically no one has listened to them in last 12 hrs after the huge debut. Interestingly, the Kendrick duets are not among the most popular ones.

Her best week to date for sure!

20 million streams on Spotify!

Also, that article is dated last October oops... still a bit to go to platinum for ARTPOP.

According to OCC, ARTPOP has sold 280k units in the UK. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/lady-gaga-biggest-selling-albums/

According to this article, ARTPOP is at 280,000

Lovely day on Spotify: DWAS - 7.292.979 (+38k) Abracadabra - 3.885.015 (+141k) Garden Of Eden - 2.028.462 (-94k) How Bad Do U Want Me - 1.619.041 (+45k) Vanish Into You - 1.488.492 (-43k) (These are the ones charting globally)

I'd prefer Playboi Carti over Alex Warren any time lol It's unlikely that his song(s) will hold anyway.

Interesting to see if any of Carti's tracks can become a legit hits. He will definitely get his highest charting song as a lead artist (previous peak is #32).

Wonder how long will it take for BTW to go 4 x platinum

I really thought this could've done 20k in streams considering even that Partynextdoor/Drake album did those numbers. It will have better longevity and overall sales though for sure.
