Charts Discussion : DWAS / Anticipation of LG7 lead

[Andreu]

What is this ugly new font on the usernames

[Moonlight Shadow]

Nobody mentionned it but DWAS is now Lady Gaga's 13th most streamed song on Spotify passing Bloody Mary 

[Andreu]

Postponing an album the week before it comes out is wild tbh specially considering none of them would smash

[GraceRandolph]

Who cares if Taylor or Harry releases? Gaga should just release anyway. I don’t really think LG7’s lead is gonna smash right away anyway.

Why am I feeling like Oct2024 is cancelled

You noticed only now? 

It's been like that for a few weeks already.

today girlies we pray a top 3 is happening in the UK 

[Supersonic]

Ready for the DROP on the German charts because of f*cking radio, despite DWAS being Top 10 all week on Spotify and Apple Music.

 

[danwasd Pronounsthey/them]

if we're going to be blocked by Taylor, at least I hope she goes back to being lost in the mountains and delivers something listenable 

[derpmonster Pronounshe/they]

Y'all are underestimating the possibility of a Tuesday release on the 29th. 

Perfect opportunity to push it for longevity and playlist the following week. 

Spoiler

Imagine the consecutive #1s DWAS followed by LG7 lead 

Spoiler

Unfortunately starting to both  study and work full time has gotten on the way of my forum career lately

But how is radio counted on a chart based on revenue?

Radio stations have to pay a fee of 1,5€ to 15€ per play to the Federal Association of the Music Industry in Germany. Depends on what contract/fee your label has negotiated. 

Which is also why Germany radio is incredibly stagnant and generally prefers to play oldies. These are old a** contracts and the plays don't cost that much. Labels know that the chart is revenue based, so they hike up the fees to the max for current songs, just to get better chart placements. (Just like labels do in the first few weeks of an albums availability, where they make the albums as expensive as they possibly can for a better chart placement).

15 per play is wild

Why I feel like lead single won't be coming in October :

- Harry Styles highly rumoured dropping next week. Morgan Wallen dropping as well. 

- DWAS vinyls being sent on October 25th.

- Crickets from her team and insiders. No noise about anything coming. When DWAS had a lot of rumours / anticipations and legit insiders teasing / confirming.

- Rumours about her being deeply affected by the Joker tank and trashing.

I hope she won't delay though.

I woudn't be mad if she delays the lead in January after the Christmas bomb
