Lady Gaga's third-week sales of 'Chromatica' are stable and impressive

[Jordan Miller]

Lady Gaga's new album #Chromatica is holding its own on the Billboard 200.

It dropped one spot from 1-2 in its second week, and according to new predictions, will likely sit tight at #2 in its third week with 55-65k in sales plus streams (25-30k sales).

What's most interesting is that her second and third-week sales are predicted to be near-identical, meaning she didn't lose any streams/sales week-to-week. That's a huge win for any artist. 

It's worth mentioning Joanne's third-week sales was around 28k sps.

Here's a breakdown of the current sps:

Lil Baby (Quality Control/Motown/Capitol) 65-75k, <1k
Lady Gaga (Interscope) 55-65k, 25-30k
DaBaby (SCMG/Interscope) 35-40k, <1k
Drake (OVO/Republic) 35-40k, <1k
Post Malone (Republic) 33-38k, ~1k
Future (Freebandz/Epic) 32-37k, <1k
Polo G (Columbia) 30-35k, <1k
Lil Uzi Vert (Generation Now/Atlantic) 30-35k, <1k
Gunna (Young Stoner Life) 30-35k, <1k
The Weeknd (XO/Republic) 30-35k, 2-3k
Bad Bunny (Rimas) 27-30k, 1-3k
Harry Styles (Columbia) 25-28k, 3-5k
Roddy Ricch (Bird Vision/Atlantic) 24-27k, <1k
NCT 127 (SM/Caroline) 22-25k, 20-23k
Chloe X Halle (Parkwood/Columbia) 22-25k, 4-6k
Luke Combs - What You See (River House/Columbia Nashville) 20-23k, 1-3k
Megan Thee Stallion (Atlantic) 19-22k, <1k
Anuel AA (Read Hasta La Muerte) 19-22k, <1k
Billie Eilish (Darkroom/Interscope) 19-22k, 3-5k
Luke Combs - This One's (River House/Columbia Nashville) 19-22k, 1-4k

Ok, but she doesn't promote it in any way  it looks like she has already forgotten about this album 

[PuertoRicosFinest]

Wow and without any tour packages right?  I’m betting the music industry is going to follow suit with a new wave of techno dance tracks.  Yay!!!!  
 

I have problems with Gaga, but her career is fun to watch.  She really knows wtf she’s doing. 

[ColdAsFire88]

I really like this album  and it actually inspired me to revisit artpop which I have now decided isn’t bad 

[OnlyFacts]

I have a confession. I now stan “rain on me” 😭 the rest of the album is...underwhelming, but rain on me is THAT song. 
 

[Blackout2006]

So the final verdict is: Chromatica is a official hit

[Roxxy]

Stream our song.

💛🧡💜

Well , who else is releasing music during this ****ty year , plus she hasn't released an album in almost 4 years so it's understandable , but I personally didn't feel the album ....

[redacted statement]

Her career trajectory has been so fascinating to witness, and I'm really happy for her.  "Stupid Love" was a rocky start, but I'm glad it worked out for her.

Without being able to make real promo, those are good numbers!

Lol. I used to stan lady Gaga during the fame and fame monster. But she lost with BTW. Still no longer a fan of her and I don’t think she’s genuine, BUT, I do stan “rain on me”. The rest of the album is still a big for me though 

[Haha-Hehe-Haha-Ho]

I'm no stan but I'm feeling that Elton John track I must say. I was expecting that collab to be a boring ballad but it's actually a bumping disco banger 

[Spicechinodiva]

According to Shady Pop music facts 

 

The average #1 is between 150 to 286 Points. Which is why the #1 is consistently switching. I really don't think we will have a massive #1 song this year like Old town Road. Especially since Promotion isn't done on stage but a televised performance from a house with no elaborate stage. 

 

Plus I think people are more catching up on their tv shows. Since I think given how these #'s show. People are really not listening to music. 

 

 

[Angels970]

How much the first week and second week ? 
 Anyone know? 

[Stefani]

Okay, but where's the promo? Or is the era already over? 

[babyimmafreak90]

Well, good for her. Ngl, this album was make or break for her. Although I still think the album is overrated here, I’m glad it’s doing well. Maybe fans will get another pop album before the 7 year mark and maybe, just maybe, there won’t be a pandemic and she’ll promote it. 
It’s a real shame there hasn’t been any live performances for this era yet, she’s always good live.

Finally someone that isn’t trashing and hating on Gaga
