More importantly. I don't want this thread to turn into feral frenzy mode when I'm gone for a few weeks.

Despite YT falling off for US/European artists I guess it's safe to say that Katy and Taylor clearly were getting an important portion of their views thanks to massive playlisting. Guess money really does RUN OUT for certain artists... Dua Lipa and Spotify's "investments" on her coming next. 

It's not fair that FaDua is getting all this payola, when our fave literally abandoned her era after 2 singles and even those 2 singles didn't get the proper TTH treatment they deserved.

It makes he wonder if Fadua's teams strategy changed to streaming and releasing music in light of COVID, compared to Gaga just scrapping her plans that centred around a lot if performances and two radio singles... So basically was FN always going to have 6 singles and a remix album

2016-2017's YT Views are just crazy

Everyone was like snatching views left and right that time except Gaga 

the fact that this is at 2B+ Views now but felt like not a SMASH, at least for me

This was not a bomb... literally everyone knows this song cos of the iconic music video lol

Actually... I looked into... It was FADTRL that told me it was a bomb - it actually performed on par if not better than the Chromatica singles, especially in Europe... I am confused as to why it has that reputation... It charted between 15-20 weeks in most cases. Maybe it should've smashed harder back then

Am I the only one who absolutely loves the Just Dance performance from the same show, I know it has slight auto tune but I think it goes over really well within the performance, plus Gaga absolutely slays per usual

I guess it didn’t do that amazing in the US with Rihanna’s standards but 

1. Shakira never seems to push her singles that much in the US anyway, she doesn’t seem bothered about the market 
2. Even Waka Waka - a song I personally thought was one of the biggest ever - peaked barely in the top 50 of the BB100 

So the US seems to constantly be sleeping on Shakira’s singles.

No I was going to post that... But this is my all time fave:

Imagine if Chromatica had this level of promo and performances... But I do remember back then in 09 until August she went really deep sounding on her vocals like an Xtina mimic

Girl her deep sounding vocals were the best

I love this performance of Paparazzi  b*ch is OWNING the stage/performance with a handful of dancers & moving light screens and VOCALS. I knew back then she was gonna be a legend and all the dumb straight guys in High school laughed at me...dumb straight people

Whew what a MOMENT

That’s how you do a female collab with 2 pop icons, the video is iconic and soccer moms were shook by the “lesbianism” going on 

[BenG]

Her "deep sounding vocals" were a result of damaged and overworked vocal cords + inferior singing technique though
