The Drought Era - Charts Discussion Thread

[Stargazer]

Not the essays again… ma’am no one’s reading all that 

[corvus albus Pronounshe/him]

I know that we are all very passionate about Gaga here. We love her and either support her current trajectory or are sad by the fact that her relationship with fans has seemingly deteriorated. Both are valid viewpoints but what we can't have is this debate every two days. What I want from you is to stop complaining about a lack of content but also stop attacking the people who complain. This is not Twitter and I want you all to stop behaving like a 14-year-old Twitter stan.

[ReadyGaga]

It's time to clean up the forum 

[ReadyGaga]

Seriously, i can't understand why River and Jaded flopped, thoses two songs are amazing, well written, good production, perfect for radio and better than other hits like Vampire, Super Freaky Girl, Seven, Last Night ecc... Maybe GP can't serve taste more than once

A reminder that, as always, the only thing keeping Smile afloat are two songs that came out more than a hear before thag were tacked onto the album after they swore left and right they would not. All the actual singles from the album failed to make any noise.

That is TRUE, but the fact that Chromatica is pulling same daily streams doesnt help our case

"Lack of passion".

Tell me which pop girl from the digital/physical era is dropping an album every six months/a single every 4 months except desperate Taylor? Katy hasn't released a new album in 3 years (same time as Gaga, but Gaga released a jazz album in the meantime), Adele releases a new album every 5-6 years, Rihanna has been retired for 7 years and sells panties/makeup, Britney continues to spin like a beyblade on her Instagram, Beyoncé returned after 6 years but without any videos, in addition, Gaga literally went on a stadium tour last year and is performing rn in Vegas, y'all are complaining with full belly. Gaga is no longer that pop girl with catchy songs, she grew up and some of you are still children. In addition to being a singer, she is a successful actress, she is already in her second film since Chromatica, she continues to feed us, however, not in the traditional way that you are used to. She continues to work hard and I don't remember her signing an entertainment contract with any of you when you decided to become her fans, like I said, the door will always be open to anyone who isn't satisfied, she doesn't owe us anything, when she thinks she should come back, she will come back, that's it.

Chile, I'm not reading all that

In the meantime.. STREAM Olivia and Doja New Album ❤️

Absolutely nothing from chroma is taking off on spotify/tiktok or doing any kind of growth as times goes on, so theres not an excuse of an album that charted for 4 weeks being over taken by one that charted in total for four weeks. No one is being a hater pointing that out.

NRO had good spotify for katy when it came out and totally collapsed nad now does meh streams and no tiktok boost. Harleys is pop but its clearly aging well

HIH went viral thanks to pure luck, definitely not thanks to it aging well or being a great song (which imo it is). 
 

The same pure luck is the reason behind thousands of songs going viral on tiktok. That’s how it works.

In 2023, where streaming and social media dictate the music market, the artist's entire catalog is important from the debut album to the random drop released 1 hour ago. Commercially speaking it is worth promoting the entire discography. 

[ReadyGaga]

Tracks like Babylon and Replay are clearly worthy of being discovered by GP and going viral. They deserve the Bloody Mary treatment, viral tracks often start from fans so we try to stream them and if we have TikTok/Instagram profiles we try to use them in the audio.

[ReadyGaga]

For example, this Speed up remix could be viral if a great account post it on tiktok

One of these two songs should've definitely gotten a MV (imo Babylon since Replay is thematically similar to 911). It would outview others smash eras late singles even if the songs didnt do anything in other platforms- and give the songs visibility to fuel potential rediscoveries etc. They dropped the ball.

Chromatica doens't have 75% of its streams coming from songs that were not even meant to be on the album or multiple album tracks that havent even had the chance to crack 10M streams in 3+ years.

I don't know who's the one in charge of Gaga's promo strategies, Interscope or Bobby, but they clearly don't give a sh!t about her past discography, either they don't think it worth investing or they value other perspectives of her artisty more than her streaming numbers.
They didn't release Bloody Mary sped up version when it went viral, no promo for ARUTW or The fame 15 anniversaries, her online promo is close to zero and not to mention that they keep spamming Haus Labs ads on her social profile. You can't possibly expect good numbers when her team did nothing to boost it. 

One thing good about Katy is that her promo is always consecutive and she never gave up an album after the first month like Gaga always do,   we don't even have official live performance video or visualizer of album tracks to let her song go viral on tik tok.
