Sour Candy

Did Alex go to a pub to keep Sabrina at bay?

This dropped OUT of UK chart... how? That'd be a 30 position drop - surely that's not even possible when it's only down 4k on Spotify daily week-on-week (Wednesday numbers). I give a rough estimate either way.

UK Albums Chart 53 54 348 The Fame, Lady Gaga (peak: 1)

Wonder what's this for?

Certified GOLD in the UK today

An hit!

I don't think quality has ever determined the success of Ed Sheeran singles but there's a first time for everything.

This is on Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2025 so far list (seems that everyone made it cough Selena & Benny Blanco cough but still):

Spotify on Wednesday: #3. (=) Die With A Smile [+4,714,163] #44. (+3) Abracadabra [+2,061,477] #112. (+8) Poker Face [+1,465,728] #170. (+9) Judas [+1,244,949]

Ooh looking forward to this!

Pitchfork is right with this being "a concept albun without concept", but slamming Walk of Fame is just insane. After two listens this hasn't really opened up with me but there are some strong songs in there. What I found weird is her recent need to criticize everything around Plastic Hearts. I know there were label issues etc., but the material is objectively among her strongest...

This just showcases how bad UK charts are being compiled right now: Chromatica did way better in the UK than US and now Mayhem is underperforming in the UK comparing to US which is wild.

Spotify #4. (-1) Die With A Smile [+4,575,291] #45. (+2) Abracadabra [+2,030,246] #124. (-2) Poker Face [+1,374,138] #175. (+11) Judas [+1,191,256] JD has been out for a couple of days, hope it returns

Yep, but at least a Sabrina is more likely to be on ACR immediately after 9 weeks than songs like Ordinary (or Stick Season, Lose Control, Beautiful Things...you name it)

Busy Woman stalled at #6 so we'll see what happens with it but it's reasonable to expect a #1.

US Billboard Hot 100 41 53 17 Abracadabra, Lady Gaga (Peak: 13)

US Billboard Hot 100 07 06 41 Die With A Smile, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (Peak: 1)

US album chart 82 78 418 The Fame, Lady Gaga (peak: 2)

US Albums Chart 20 19 12 MAYHEM, Lady Gaga (Peak: 1) Should really have this chart run in the UK too... oh well

#62 (+2) in the UK mids

#56 (-1) in the UK mids. At least it's not out of top 75 yet.

Lol @ Seven, that chart is a mess
