I’m curious, do we know how this compares to ROM?

Im really baffled by this......positions hasn’t clicked with people (CLEARLY) but with the demand for ANY Ariana music during the last 2 years I really expected more

well Ariana may pull great longevity so I think we should wait a bit to call Positions an underperformance but yeah the debut is disappointing for her standard

ROM spent 9 weeks in the top 4 before ACR so it’s not even comparable 

Both bops tho

ROM in the UK

1-2-2-2-2-3-3-4-4-21-22-27-32-37-34-29-29-34-38-48-45-45-48-60

Midnight Sky is having the advantage to not peak in the first 10 weeks and therefore not going on ACR yet. However, it won't end up bigger than ROM (it's definitely obliterating SL though).

Chromatica had 3 songs pushed during album release week. This is a major factor in the UK.

I had to google that.

"The character's name, Debbie Downer, is a slang phrase which refers to someone who frequently adds bad news and negative feelings to a gathering, thus bringing down the mood of everyone around them"

To be fair Ari has 3 songs on HHUK in release like Chromatica and they are spamming both songs on radio, whereas sour Candy got a couple of plays 34+35 is being treated like a dual lead. Not sure if she got HHUK cover but Gaga didn't 

Regardless almost 50% of Chromatica's total sales in UK are from  its first week and it still hasn't cleared Joanne's overall weeks that had 0 hit in the UK lol

I just can't disagree more.

For me, an American who lives in NYC and who is just a little bit younger than Gaga - I feel I understand where she comes from. I've become so much more politicized; so much more aware of the country and world we live in. This year has been one of the most trying of my life and of modern society. Gaga doesn't find excuses to not promote. Gaga doesn't run away because it's considered insensitive (although with BLM, it would have too). She simply cares about more than music. Not that she doesn't love her art and music. It's obvious she loves this album, but she's more than just her art.

I find I put essentially my entire life aside this past month for the election, with the one exception being work and this website (not the best timing really). That's something I, who has no power, felt obligated to do and happy to do so. Working the polls, canvassing, trying to help my Trump-loving family see reason and fact. It's just too important. 

Gaga cares about people, cares about this country and cares about doing what she can to make the world a better place. She isn't a new popstar, she's already had her legendary peak (not that she can't have more) and she works really hard. We pit her against the current top pop stars, and she's still competitive - that's incredible. The other girls are trying to get themselves to be as known and respected as Gaga or Bey. They have to put in the work. Part of achieving that status is being able to relax and live your life. We know she wants to focus on having a family too.

Covid really ruined the plans for this album, which sucks - and then this country continued to fall apart. I couldn't be prouder of Gaga for focusing on what matters. We might love charts, but they don't really matter and Gaga is still massively successful. We also got a video for fan fave 911 - we're likely to get more too. It might not be what we specifically want here, but we got a great album, great videos and have more to come. She's in her 30s and the world sucks. I fully get why that comes first. Not to mention her Vote era has been brief but legendary, of course.

To me, I love charts, but it's essential to understand we're not tracking someone at her onset or at her peak. She's established and she's a legend. It's going to be a mixed bag and it'll probably never be what we had from TF through BTW. But don't attack her and her team as if they're wrong or because you think they don't care. Life is complicated and beautiful and we're lucky. Not many fans have what we have over a decade in. It's amazing we're trying to start a new Gaga-focused site 12 years into her career, that's insane.

 

Thank you so much for this.

positions and 34+35's streams won't count for the album though
