Will Perfect Illusion be an Apple Music exclusive?

We'll see very soon. The song should be available on Spotify at or shortly after midnight if it's not.

Let's hope it isn't. I want to support the song.

PI is on Spotify. Wow, so much for her AM deal.

[Ger-55]

And YouTube, too. HDD talks too much. They can talk what they want but BB is more professional.

I'm surprised The Greatest is only at #89. Hopefully radio play will help it climb

The reason is really simple. Spotify updates their playlists on Friday, so the song didn't have promo tbh.

I wonder how big Spotify payola UMG gives Gaga. I heard rumors about huge 'gifts' that Interscope gave Clear Channel Radios.

Come on GAGA

This is the type of stuff that annoys me to no end. It shouldn't be the label and the artist paying the radio and the leech. It should be the leech paying the artist and the label.

The most confusing thing is that labels pay radio stations for play but in US terrestrial radios don't pay labels (and recording artists!) performance royalties. Money from spins get publisher (and songwriter) but they don't put even one dollar for payola

Childs Play up 79-73. It hasn't decreased since the video release.

X up 54-51, it's so close to going top 50

Thanks God she's not pulling a Katy

I saw a similar This Is: Britney Spears playlist during Glory's release week. It's not uncommon really.

Perfect Illusion - 529,102 plays.

Thats pretty good, isnt it?

[alexanderao]

PI doesn't sound like a song that can do well on Spotify (or radio, for that matter). I think it can debut high/have a nice first week, though.
