I actually like Katy’s new song a lot, It sounds like something Doja cat would make and it’s the only song that doesn’t sound outdated among these singles so far

[Lazz Monster Pronounshe/him]

Die With A Smile is now the female song with most weeks (4) at #1 in New Zealand in 2024

If current daily Spotify streams hold steady, Judas is surpassing Applause in 25 days.

Applause about to get passed by Judas, DWAS, and Girlfriend for the Weekend.

I can’t stop wondering if Girlfriend snippet is real or not, if it’s real I hope she make a collab with Abel 

“I can be your girlfriend for The Weeknd “

Imagine the collapse

I like the sample usage and Doechi verse (very doja coded).

 

But its says a lot best two things out of three singles released so far are not even Katy part.

The weeknd's new song doesn't feel exciting at all to me, but then again I thought BL wasn't either and I was team Heartless since day one so what do i Know

Yeah you’re absolutely right

Her music used to be a bit campy and playful during OFTB and Teenage Dreams eras, now it’s just generic and cringyShe’s lack of personality now and it reflects back on her new releases

The Weeknd song is weaker than his previous hits but I still think it has potential, as long as it doesn’t come close to dethrone DWAS.

[ViviLittleM]

So now that we’re getting soup power on radios, they’re dropping DWAS’ positions on Spotify playlists, interesting

Ignoring Mariah as they should. Christmas streams (and by default monthly listeners) are FRAUDULENT. 

If they are fraudulent then why haven't more artists with Christmas albums passed that milestone?

[zoldyck]

I think weeknd will be bigger challenge on official charts than on spotify charts.

 

Its pretty much given multiple radio formats will eat up weeknd lead single.

They need to find an actress of Greek and Persian descent like Cleopatra was or else the backlash will be insane. It'll be like House of Gucci on steroids.

I doubt they’re gonna find someone famous with that background easily, however recently a documentary on Netflix got backlash because they used a black actress, I think the Zendaya cast could possibly get more backlash than Gaga, the gp is aware Cleopatra was Greek-Macedonian descent (and so white), but given Zendaya as worked already with that director it’s very likely it’s gonna be her.

Prob the worst lead single the weekend has put out so far   unmemorable verses and chorus which is borderline boring even 

[Moonlight Shadow]

Not sure Abel would fit on the Girlfriend Lady Gaga song unless it's deeply reworked 

Girlfriend snippet give those 'old school Gaga banger' hinted in the Vogue interview though. A big euro dance catchy anthem she would have made with RedOne in early days.

Feel like it could hit hard

Hopefully that will be the general audience reception as well 

But yeah he also needs to change sound, this has became tiring imo.

[SpanishMonster]

I feel like the Weeknd is featured on Abracadabra

Cleopatra just feels like a cursed role. The Elizabeth Taylor movie had an insane budget and never made its money back at the box office and the Netflix version got a sh!t ton of backlash. Zendaya's ancestry is probably like 60% European, but she has no Greek features really.
