It's strange not seeing BeyHives coming for Billie, maybe they are too busy dragging Gaga 

Well if they want to push the narrative shes an artist from the 90s1!1!1 they can't pit her with someone who still wore diaper when Bey won her first grammy

If we are being picky I don’t like the way she delivers the second   ‘romance’ - it gives me an Oct 2019 Enigma tea vs. The actual studio version, but everything else is good. She’s always been able to nail bad romance, its effortless for her (as opposed to some of her other singles that era)

I think for the editing choices, the stage and production wasn’t exactly a ‘spectacle’ so she’s prob trying keep the watching audience engaged vs. Her just stood there with no multi colour lights or men on stilts to focus on inbetween times 

I think so too. But a good chunk of the performances are engaging in themselves (like basically every one except the first act) so hopefully they don't abuse the effects and end up making it look ridiculous. Babylon looked pretty good and there were no effects in sight.

I don't think so. It will probably debut with 350-400K units (roughly on par with Harry's House).  

[lookwhatyoumademedo]

Pessimistic: below 250K
Realisic:250K-350K
Optimistic:350K-450K
Radically optimistic:450K+
 

[lookwhatyoumademedo]

My prediction is around 90-100M for first-day numbers on Spotify. 
And around 370K for the first week, but I hope that it will top Cowboy Carter.

100M with only 10 songs?

Harry's House had 90M with 12 songs two years ago, so I expect this to do 90M-100M.

time to edit in a performance of Judas in TCB me thinks

No but the next tour needs to have Judas. The last live performance was half a decade ago with Enigma Vegas, and the song has only gotten stronger support and growth in streams since then. Not really holding my breath though. The fact that to date it has pitiful playlist reach, and an even more pathetic exposure in the few major playlists it's in (i.e, low on the list), and forgotten in promos like fortnite, Judas is always fighting an uphill battle.

I agree. She could always do a BRxJudas mashup, that would be iconic. If she really goes in the rock direction it would make even more sense. These songs are a match made in heaven for a rock-leaning Gaga tour. Bloody Mary too, and it's obviously a must. The possibilities!
