Here comes the smasha

[Smithy]

Music video isn’t until 6pm OMG

[MB.]

I can't believe they cut out the bit where Gaga sings "can you leave a white stain on me?"

[Smithy]

:skull:

[MB.]

I hear the thunder comin' down
Won't you rain on me?
Eh, eh, yeah (Rain on, woo)
I hear the thunder comin' down
Won't you rain on me? (Me)

**** saaaaake @ that filter :joker:

[MB.]

And it's actually raining this morning, too... I can't believe Gaga's doing immersive promo

[Shaun]

ok I like house Gaga a lot, this is good.

Ariana on it lends it a "Be Alright" vibe too.

[Samm]

it’s cute, I need a visual though

[Jake.]

Her best single in years. I hope we’ve got some more dance-house tracks on the album because it really suits her.

I was unsure about this at first judging by the demos but the final versions a cute girl

[Ross.]

I love this, best single from Gaga in ages (don’t come @ me Smithy Perfect Illusion is still trash!)

Ariana really DID THAT

I love it miss gaga is literally giving us all what we've been needing from her

https://media.giphy.com/media/oe1DNyTGagbhm/giphy.gif

Ari on the song was a little pointless, Gaga carried the song the whole way through.. but its cute and I bet the video will be amazing

Why is Ariana Grande stood inside a gaping arsehole on the cover?

[Smithy]

I think it’s a portal

[Amy Jade]

a smash HIT

Her look with the white eyeshadow too is a SERVE

Hmm :think: the tour will eventually be pushed back so if the era continues she could have the chance to I guess

[Morgan.]

I much prefer this track when I watch with the visuals. When I perched it on Apple Music this morning I just wasn’t vibing, I wasn’t blown away, but watching with the music video it’s a lot better.

[Saph]

can she not just film the other videos anyway like whos actually following the rules no one cmon girl!!!

surely they can just covid check dancers and stuff? :eyes:

Yeah hopefully, her team should just fly somewhere safe to film (like Aus or South Korea) and stay there for a few weeks

The song Is catchy but this is really her CGI/Green screen era isn't it? Kind of living for the cheapness of it all ngl

[Gstar]

Enjoyed the video. The visuals of this era :love:

[Jake.]

Yeah, the video was really good. I liked the shots of her when she looked like she was drowning aboard the titanic whilst looking out of her cabin window.

I wonder if lady Gaga fans have realised she has only been have to have success over the past 5 years when duetting (likely because of the other persons popularity at the time)

Oh yes, album track/non-single Hey Girl! She really does owe a lot to Florence for the success on that one!

[Liam-]

Ugh, gorgeous

[DouglasS]

I didn’t know Bradley Cooper was acclaimed in the music industry sis :think:

I mean he was an extremely popular actor at the time and was the lead of the movie. His presence contributed to a large proportion of the sales

[DouglasS]

I see someone's drunk and has forgotten how to form a sentence!

Or maybe someone is using their phone and autocorrect removes words and also forms words. People know that I am highly educated here

[LaLaLand]

Gaga's best song in a LONG time imo by far.

Ballad Gaga is still my fave by far(hot take alert? Meh).

It’s enjoyable enough though. Don’t think the album will be for me though.

already at #1 in Germany now

Doesn't even name the Oscar-winner, what kind of fake fan?

[Smithy]

10,000,000+ streams on its first day on Spotify :dazzler:

[Samm]

I read this thing on twitter I think and it made kind of sense if she just went from artpop to chromatica it would of been weird.

Yes, because Joanne is a work of art.

[Saph]

we needed the bad to appreciate the good

[Samm]

Yes, because Joanne is a work of art.

a work of art it’s not, she could’ve done a country album without half of it being awful

#RainOnMe* is leading the race for #1 song on the UK Singles Chart next week by 7,358 units. The song has already sold 16,404 units in the country with just two days of release. Would mark the sixth #1 single for both artists

I predict it will be the next song to top billboard after this, considering the crazy momentum it has without a music video or Pop Radio AirPlay. Interscope will capitalise once they’ve promoted Gaga’s rollout I imagine.

[Tony Montana]

Can't stop listening to this.

[Maxxie.]

I rate this but the bassline sounds almost identical to Avicii's my feelings for you yet its not credited as a sample.

1.5 years

[Brother Leon]

Not Rockstar being dethroned in the UK.

Debuting #1 on Billboard USA has been strangely very common recently too. Seems like you just need an established fanbase.

The last year though a few #1s have dropped badly and had little longevity. Funnily enough, Blinding Lights, a track which took months to finally get to #1 has probably been the most stable hit this year alongside The Box.

[Samm]

The increase of steaming has made it more easier, but I guess it’s just changing times doesn't take away the achievement.

A few years ago I believe it was only Mariah and Britney who’ve done it more then once, Drake, Justin and Ariana have joined that, soon Gaga, with Ariana leading with three or four number one debuts?

[Ross.]

Looks like a cert for #1 tomorrow :clap1:

Talent :clap1:

[Saph]

I dont even understand how the charts work anymore.. a song can sell like 500 copies and get to #1 and another sell 50,000 copies and be #17

Blinding Lights is a fabulous track .. it features very heavily on TicToc !!

Open TicToc and search for Blinding Lights then plough through all the clips ..

Yeah it’s to do with how much they weight each sale, stream etc. I’m not sure of the number specifics but I know they’re all weighted differently.

Talent always wins :clap1:

I think the reason for a lot of high debuts is a lot of artists are doing merch bundles now to try and snatch #1 first week because it’s even harder to score a number one now in the streaming age than before

150 premium streams (I.e paid on Apple Music or Spotify) is a sale, 300 free streams (YT or Spotify Free) also counts as one sale. But that’s only for the first ten weeks and after that the streaming ratio doubles so 300 premium streams is a sale and 600 free streams is a sale

Gaga is now the only female artist this CENTURY to have #1’s in each decade in the UK

[MB.]

Take that Ashanti!

[Jake.]

:clap1:

[Saph]

Ashanti coming for a 5th week :clap1:

[Smithy]

@ladygaga and @ArianaGrande’s "Rain On Me" earns the biggest debut week streams for an all female collaboration in the UK (8.1 million).

2020’s saving grace

[Brother Leon]

1266912441184579587

Unsurprisingly an easy #1. Rockstar’s streaming numbers are insane though. Interscope really needs to pull their finger out and drop the video and release it properly to pop radio.

[Smithy]

Phew, the girls are WINNING :clap1:

Does Rockstar even have a video filmed btw? Maybe that’s why there isn’t one and they can’t film one atm

[Smithy]

#1 in the US and is the only female collaboration in HISTORY to debut at #1 :clap1:

[Gstar]

NOT the Ashanti shade!

Well done Gags :clap1: :lovedup:

#1 in the US and is the only female collaboration in HISTORY to debut at #1 :clap1:

Did beautiful liar ever make number one?

[LukeB]

Did beautiful liar ever make number one?

Not in the USA

UK yes and few other countries

[Brother Leon]

Pretty wild considering how the late 2000s early 10s was dominated by pop Queens.

[DouglasS]

Shockingly it’s Only managed 1 week at #1, with the album being out it was expected to gain hundreds of thousands of extra streams this week to give it a second week but the sales have been dropping to quick for it to maintain another week. It’s down to #2

[Smithy]

The plummet :omgno:

[Nicky91]

i luv the instrumentals to Rain On Me :flutter:

especially the intro bit, very anthemic

[Jake.]

Only dropping one place :love:

[Ninastar]

Queen of top 2 :love:

[DouglasS]

Second fastest selling album since the Ariana grande one :clap1:

[Brother Leon]

Rockstar beating It during it’s Album release week is huge. It’s coming for that US/UK double soon. No shame being 2nd to a banger.

[DouglasS]

My chart only goes up to top 20, I can’t seem to find it, I’m probably skimming over it, can anyone let me know where it charted this week please? I’m sure it was top 5 before
