I really liked her last album on release, but it turned out to be as brittle as it seemed and didn't hold up as well as other albums from around the same time.
The description for this sounds good though.

Snippet sounds great! But I do not expect this to outdo "Rain on Me."
In terms of pop radio, that VERY SHORT snippet gives me Top 15 vibes at best. "Shallow" only got to No. 18 with massive hype and cultural significance, so I wouldn't hold my breath. This could easily end up stalling out in the 30's.
How much people care about the movie will probably be an important factor here, as well, and whether that audience overlaps with people who can appreciate a Lady Gaga banger.

We all know Pop is garbage anyways, but I'm sure she'll have no problem scoring a Hot 100 hit and I'm hoping to see some longevity there.
Look at me getting ahead of myself before I've even heard it.

No way it's going to MISS the Hot 100 lol, the downloads alone will be enough for that I reckon. I think it's matter of whether it's top 10/20/40 hit from the start.
Really loving the production and she always delivers the vocals.

Lady Gaga said: "When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn’t even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film’s heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we’ve been living in. I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours.
"I wanted to make music into a song where we share our deep need to both be understood and try to understand each other—a longing to be close when we feel so far away and an ability to celebrate life’s heroes.
"I’m so grateful to Tom and Hans and Joe for this opportunity—and it’s been a beautiful experience working with them. Me, BloodPop, Ben Rice and everyone else who worked on it with us are so excited to share it with you. This song is a love letter to the world during and after a very hard time. I’ve wanted you to hear it for so long. And I’m so excited to give it to you on May 3. “Hold My Hand.”"

Will 3 days be enough to chart during this tracking week? Is there significance to May 3 release date?
Pop radio acceptance (Top 20) depends on the movie’s success. She is 36 now so that’s not in her favor. But maybe LG will be like JLO and get some age-defying spins.
She’s made several smart long-term career moves by highlighting that she’s an amazing vocalist. Music dependent on pop radio on lasts so long.

Really wierd but the single cover kinda looks like Madonnas Rollingstone cover. With hints of Die Another Day video. I thought of that immediately. Regardless it's a good single cover. Definitely not

Hopefully the video comes out Friday or something. A mid week release is very unnecessary and weird for her to be doing

This is superb. It's a perfect nod to big 80s ballads while still being uniquely Gaga. That intro and climax is also :chef's kiss:.
Regardless of what pop decides to do or not do with this, I'm hoping this can be a decent hit for her in the general sense.

I like this more than I thought I would. It sounds like something she would e released circa “Born This Way” era. There’s a lot of nods to the 80s big ballads in it.

Took a first listen to this song, and wow! This song sounds like a big hit! This is an 80s power ballad updated to the 2020s! I’m predicting that this song will go all the way to number one!

Before I Cry meets TEOG LOVE IT this is a PERFECT description. I like this, it sounds very cinematic. I think, though, it will fall into the same category as Ariana Grande's "Just Look Up" and Beyoncé's "Be Alive" for me — soundtrack songs by artists I adore deeply, but don't really have in my heavy rotation. Much like the other two songs, I can see "Hold My Hand" working incredibly well in the movie trailers and end credits, but I don't think it will find itself a spot on my playlists. and this is definitely worse than most of her songs on A Star Is Born, but I figured that would be the case as that was a movie about music industry which she starred in. as for her soundtrack singles (that I can recall), I'd rank them as: Shallow > Always Remember Us This Way > Til It Happens To You > Hold My Hand > I'll Never Love Again

I guess how big this becomes depends on the movie and how people relate to it.

it's a shmaltzy power ballad, and she sounds good, but this sounds like a flop on Pop. Hot AC might carry it to Top 10 tho.

I like it. It's very cinematic and 80s, so as far as radio goes, I don't know if I see it doing much outside of AC and Hot AC.
