I've said this before, but honestly, the song could be utter crap and drop out of the charts after 3 weeks but as long as we got a Gaga-fied Ariana even for just one minute in the music video then the whole era is already worth it

The hype in the stan world is certainly there!

The hype feels real, especially compared to Stupid Love, which I think was hampered by the leak. But just knowing the album comes one week after the single, which in itself is beginning to feel like an event. I'd say this is the most excited I've been for a Gaga single since Perfect Illusion or even Applause. For the first time since Do What U Want, it feels like this could be a legit hit even before going into it.

Amazon is growing, so it's good to have that promo.

Amazon on board? #1 debut incoming (I hope). The only problem with Amazon Music I have is that it's so hard to track streams, but it's probably the third biggest streaming service in the US at least. It's mainly where country songs are streamed actually, and is mostly the reason songs like The Bones still have longevity. Amazon has a lot of power with Alexa. Last year a number of amazon exclusive songs charted in the UK and Ellie Goulding got to #1 with her cover of "River" due to it being the first song played when people asked Alexa to play Christmas songs. Excited to see how this does out of the gate. I'm hopeful it'll manage to be a long-lasting hit.

Seems like the label is really pushing this as the main big single from the album. I wonder how it will do on the US , What was the last house-dancepop song that went top5/1 in the US?

I'm been underwhelemed with all Ariana collabs post Thank You Next era but remain hopeful this won't make me yawn. I like both ladies and it would be nice if they deliver a true bop.

I mean, she did ask what fortnite was on twitter forever ago. Could've been a hint.

Man, I wish kids still played Fortnite like they did in 2017. Thatβd be huge exposure.

Fortnite is still f**king huge, but the I'm more confused by why she's advertising there. That just doesn't seem like the platform that would attract her target audience?

Maybe an attempt to capture new audience since I feel like her target audience has already been gotten so there's not much point in trying to advertise to those since they're already either salivating for new stuff or they know and don't care. Though I can't imagine the Fortnite audience would have a particular interest? Unless they're hoping to work the Ariana angle or something. It's an interesting approach but possibly a wasteful one.

Ariana would be an arguably worse draw than Gaga for the Fortnite crowd. The player-base is a predominantly male, ages 14-25 demographic, but definitely not the gay kind. Even if it was, her primary audience here should be women. That's all assuming this isn't some crazy coincidence. The only real net advantage to this is that it'll generate a ton of headlines for her, and could've been done on the cheap if Fortnite developers viewed it as mutually beneficial.

Maybe the purpose is headlines and not sales. Or maybe too the point is simply for audience for chart purposes only since that's somehow a thing?

I'm not terribly excited about this even though I'm a huge Gaga fan. Ariana's output lately has been so lackluster and she just had another collab come out two weeks ago. I'm hoping its a great song, of course, and a great video. Also hope Ariana fans show up to stream it for Gaga lol.

I just hope this isn't like stupid love and she isn't chasing a hit.... but the ariana ft kills that idea lol. I just don't get why she can't go the Beyonce route and just focus on making good music fuck the charts.

I love Ariana and Gaga but not sure if they can blend in together on a collaboration. We will see on Friday 12am how it sounds. It still feels to me like Gaga is getting desperate to get a hit by collaborating with the #1 female pop star, Ariana Grande.

I personally don't mind the hit chasing much, as Gaga hasn't resorted to the desperation I've seen from other artists like Bieber & Selena, but she has a song with BLACKPINK on the LP. She's definitely got a plan

Who cares if sheβs hit chasing lol, that doesnβt mean the songs are going to be garbage. Granted βStupid Loveβ was absolutely not for me, but the snippets from the Haus Labs ad have me very interested.
Aesthetics are on point as well, and for the most part she seems like sheβs tuned back into what made her so much fun during TF/TFM. I see this as functionally no different than her tapping Bey for βTelephoneβ.

It still feels to me like Gaga is getting desperate to get a hit by collaborating with the #1 female pop star, Ariana Grande. Or Ariana is desperate to cement herself as an icon in pop culture by collaborating with arguably the most prolific and iconic pop star of the last decade. Or better yet, they both just want to collaborate with each other because they're two powerhouse women that continue to kill it in the industry that respect each other's artistry. But whatever the reason, I'm sure you will be in here every day to make crude comments with grammatical errors because you want to endanger the lives of motorists by posting on here while driving.

I'm sure I noticed (and forgot) before, but I've liked all of her second singles more than her leads so that's giving me high hopes for this one.

She hasn't done that many. If it is done right, this could be this generation's "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)".
