New Single - The Cure

Back inside the UK top 20 btw

23-19-23-22-20

 

simple. all millennials have ADD and a short span memory.

 

Right back up to #11 on iTunes. Down 1 to #30 on Spotify.

 

I thought this has been and gone, so pleasantly surprised it seems to be hanging around and even catching on!

 

It's STUBBORN, I'll give it that. It's been hovering around the low 20s/high 30s on Spotify for a few weeks now.

 

A pity she doesn't seem to be interested in pushing it any further
Oh well, at least it started curing her streaming and her airplay issues.

 

Is there still no word on a video?

 

Not a single one. She's still busy wrapping up A Star Is Born.

 

She's not "wrapping up" at all. The "Star" shoot has still got months to go.

 

Well, at least HER scenes, cause she'll soon have to start rehearsals for her world tour.
She'll probably have no time for ASIB from July until the end of the year.

 

I'm not entirely certain dear Trammy understands the concept of committing to a movie shoot one doesn't just SAUNTER in and out whenever the mood TAKES

 

She can't just stop filming cos she has no time for it

 

Did you think it was going to be any different from how she approaches her music videos?

 

Steady at #20 this week

It's had a very good chart run. In terms of sales it must be a solid hit by now.

 

Approaching 130K in the UK.
500K WW.

 

I'd like it to do a bit MORE chart-wise because it is good.

But ultimately I think it's done what it needs to do for her in terms of getting her foot back in the door.

Just don't fuck it up next time Gags.

 

I just worry that all the good work and foot back in the door business will have worn off by the time she needs it. With ASIA and the tour, how long is it going to be before she can build on it?

 

I think the song has kind of put her in a more visible place without truly exploding in its own right, if that make sense. Not that the album format is thriving, but I do think it would have done better if it had an album associated with it. It's kind of just been floating.

Anyway the song is still an 8/10 or so for me. Ticks all the right boxes, the verses are a bit lush, kind of a nostalgic 90s pop chorus, but I can't get terribly excited about it/urge to replay it.

 

Let's face it I don't mind "The Cure", but who needs Gaga's generic third rate Bieber-by-numbers, especially now that CRJ has come back to SAVE US ALL? #truth

 

Still lingering at #14 on US iTunes.

#sleeperpassionhit

 

It seems to have died at UK iTunes now, but it's still hovering around #30 on Spotify. I don't think it has moved more than a few places either side of that position for about a month.

 

Gaga not doing a bunch of quick little #1's anymore. Queen of sleeper hits.

 

Back up to 12 on US itunes.

How's spotify and airplay doing, Tram? Where are you when we need you?

 

Tramell is currently busy taking copies of "Witness" off the shelves.

 

Isn't it time she released another song now?

 

It's a good job everyone is still interested!

 

L O L

 

Such a wasted opportunity. This could have been a genuine hit, in the UK at least. I think it performed better here than anywhere else.

 

Even Tramell has given up on this shit.

 

It was silver in the UK and platinum in Australia.

A video won't help unless it is an unlikely game changer. Only tv performances and radio spins will elevate the song to higher sales. In the US there is potential but in the U.K the radio stations have started removing it from playlists.

 

She's too busy being a Starbucks waitress.

 

Bless.

 

If you ever wanted a visual representation of why Gags' fans gave up on her, there you have it.

 

So apparently, these are views from the set...






Still not 100% buying into those rumours yet though, the timing doesn't make sense at all...

 

Ooh, Mark Kanemura

Those date stamps being all over the place is odd though.

 

Why is she releasing a video THREE AND A HALF YEARS after it first dropped?

 

art takes time ok?
