This tweet has been deleted but slay at #1 because of physical copies rather than streaming which is kind of rare since streaming has kind of ruined the charts a bit.

Confirmed the album has smashed initial predictions in the US too by almost 100k, she's now made HISTORY as is the FIRST woman with 5 #1 albums in a decade.

The album also sold over 330k in singles this week

It doesn't seem to matter what people say she just KEEPS on WINNING



Oscar nominations will be next and even if she doesn't win, 6 months from now she could be a 4x nominee

a WIN on its OWN

The streaming numbers are equivalent points (bc the charts are weird) rather than actual numbers though, so I don't know what the streaming gap really was

Yeah I know that streams done on a paid account (Spotify premium etc) count for more than those on a free trial.

1,500 streams of any songs from an album to a full LP sale.

Official Charts will take the 12 most-streamed tracks from each album. The top two tracks will be down-weighted in line with the average of the next 10.

These streams will then be added together and divided by 1,000. This ‘stream factor’ will then be added to the physical/digital sales of the album.

The reason for down-weighting the two most streamed tracks is to ensure that if an album features up to two smash hit singles, streams of these tracks do not skew the performance of their parent album in the Official Album Chart

i am going to rank gaga's singles bc that's my mood for today (arutw and inla included bc they're top 40 SMASHES, no tony bennet)

perfect illusion > marry the night > just dance > bad romance > the edge of glory > i'll never love again > born this way > always remember us this way > applause > alejandro > you and i > do what you want > g.u.y. > telephone > poker face > eh eh > lovegame > joanne (piano version) > paparazzi > dance in the dark > million reasons > shallow > the cure

love them all apart from the cure.

perfect illusion is still that song. most underrated song of the decade.
