We need it to go to at least #20 in the future so it can do a 100th week in the top 20

And when it charts next week, it'll overtake Chromatica as Gaga's third longest-charting album!

"BRAT" has returned the top 20! @Scene

Coming for 600k units next area

"Die With A Smile" climbs 5 places to #53 in its 60th week. It now overtakes "Just Dance" as Gaga's third longest-charting song! @HausofMayhem @Sour Candy @Oricon

"Everything is romantic" climbs 37 places to a new peak of #54. I think the "UK sales and chart runs" thread needs updating for this song now. @Scene
