Ugh I just saw the position. What is this, Gaga? Seriously getting pissed off now. Why can't she just slay the charts like she used to. Everything used to be so simple. It's so frustrating to watch her throw her life away. Interscope please force her to do something

Here's an idea: go outside and ignore charts.

Work: 126k (2 days)
Perfect Illusion: 100k
Make Me: 96k

Wait, didn't this same group of stans drag Rih and Katy?

Seriously #15 is horrible for her.

At least I was right with between 8 and 9M streams, but come on.
Was there a thread "where will PI debut" before it come out? I'm sure 90% voted / would have voted for top 10 at the very least.

the nerve to compare a song like "perfect illusion" to who knew

Nerve? I was literally pointing out an instance of a song by that poster's fave that didn't smash out the gate and ended up being a hit single, despite basically dying on the charts and coming back to life. The point is, you can't call a song's entire performance right after it comes out, especially when they haven't released a video or promo yet.

Is that supposed to be bad for a three and a half month old album? Sis, we both know you already know the pure sales. It's 236k. You were dragging them just yesterday. Again, already the 19th best selling album in the US released this year, despite the fact that Ariana's forte is streaming not sales. Keep up.

And they say Beyonce cant sell singles.
4/10 songs are hers.
Formation was free for months before the album release.
And she did this with just 3 days.

I'm sure "they" are talking about overall sales in the long run, not first week sales. Where are these songs now?

[Cz!]

Not 13K.

Why would anyone be bitter about GaGa doing poorly as **** except whatever Monsters remain in her corner?

Scroll through this thread. So many bitter people trying to drag her cause shes not aiming for chart success.

OGH acting like the standards are supposed to be higher when the predictions were 90k or lower, and the song isn't even in the top 50 on iTunes

I had said 8-9M streams as well, but I thought I was being a bit conservative when I said that.

Where can it drop to next week? #40-50 range (accounting for the video)? Lower?

Monsters having to settle for less.

Britney has 10 years on Gaga, what kind of dumb comparison.

A more accurate comparison would be to Rise.

How? Rise took over iTunes and was the song for one of the biggest events in the world

Also Make Me had G-Eazy, the one truly responsible for its "success". A kii
