Cheek 2 Cheek chart thread

The album has been released today in a few I-Tunes stores:

#4 + #89 Austria
#7 Ireland
#7 New Zealand
#7 Switzerland
#8 + #186 Australia
#8 + #68 Netherlands
#10 + #186 Germany

 

What are we predicting in the UK and US?

 

I seriously have NO idea… It could go either way.
My guess for this one would be 500K in the US, 80K in the UK, 850K WW...
But I may well be totally wrong!

 

I'm predicting MEGA FLOP in the UK.

 

80k in the UK?! I can't see it hitting 10k.

 

TOTALLY

I can't imagine it doing well anywhere really? Surely, there's zero appetite for it?

 

It's a horribly unappealing vanity project. Surely even the hardiest Monster will grimace at the prospect and no doubt agonising reality.

 

What exactly ARE the noises in this video? It sounds like some dismal cacophony of crying foxes and BLEATING SHEEP

It's the #YAAASGAGAYAAAAS

 

The sound that trails off at 0:05 is TRANSPARENTLY MOOING

 

500k in the US?

 

Twelve posts in and the level of delusion in this thread is frightening

 

80K in the UK?! I was thinking lucky to go top 5

 

What did ARTPOP manage in the US?

I reckon it will open with about 15k in the UK.

 

She's declared herself a not.commercial artist for now anyway. She'll be over the moon introducing culture to her core fan base, with anything else a mere bonus.

 

She's more underground than Mel Beh

I don't expect this to be a happy thread (if you like her).

On ALL FORMATS

Is it doing well in RHODESIA?

 

Sorry Tramell cherub, I shall stop trolling

Possibly

 

#6 in Slovakia?

HIT

 

Top twenty in the UK and top ten in the US, swift plunges thereafter, #1 on the Billboard Hot Jazz Club Play charts

 

Feel FREE flower!
I'm careless dancing Cheek 2 Cheek

 

Is there an actual single for this? With a video? I've seen ZERO coverage so far on music magazines/online blogs

 

I thought I'd bite for it but am amazed no one else is. Does it sound THAT BAD then?

 

I've no real interest in this but the Guardian gave it a very positive review.

 

She and Tony have recorded an interview for Good Morning Britain to air on Friday morning. Am not aware of any other promo

 

Album #22 on Amazon :eyes:

Is it doing any better on iTunes?

 

I don't see this as anything other than a stop-gap project (or a vanity one at best) so can't imagine this being promoted much more than her MAC shit with Cyndi Lauper to be honest.

 

It rather inexplicably seems to be at #11 on UK iTunes although Aphex Twin is at #4 so THANK GOD FOR JUSTICE IN THE WORLD

 

#12 in the midweeks.

 

Surely nobody expected better?

To be fair I don't think it says a thing about Gaga's current appeal one way or the other. It's just nobody wants a dreary jazz album with Tony "I thought that whore DIED" Bennett

 

Didn't Tony Bennet's last studio album go top 5 though? So the Lady GaGa collaboration has LOST sales for him...
