Netflix's 'Wednesday' takes control on Wednesdays, now triumphing on Billboard music charts.
In a fascinating turn of events, Lady Gaga's latest release, 'The Dead Dance,' has been making waves across various music charts and the Emmy-nominated series Wednesday.
Released on September 3, 'The Dead Dance' has climbed to new peaks on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, Pop Airplay, and Adult Pop Airplay. The song also debuted at No. 40 on the Hot 100 and inside the top 10 on the Dance Streaming Songs chart and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Its success has helped Lady Gaga score a new top 10 hit across a variety of Billboard tallies.
The second season of Wednesday has been focus-heavy on music, and Lady Gaga contributed an original track titled 'The Dead Dance' to the series. The song's dark electronic dance music vibe aligns perfectly with the Netflix program's thematic elements.
Interestingly, Lady Gaga seems inextricably tied to Wednesday. While 'The Dead Dance' was composed for the second season, her song 'Bloody Mary' gained popularity due to a viral video of Jenna Ortega performing a dance set to an old rockabilly cut. Despite not being featured in Wednesday (season 1), 'Bloody Mary' became a hit, adding another feather to Lady Gaga's musical cap.
The second season of Wednesday was divided into two parts, with the first several episodes released on August 6 and the next four on September 3, coinciding with the release of 'The Dead Dance.' The second season is currently ranked No. 2 on Netflix's list of most-viewed series.
The soundtrack accompanying Wednesday: Season Two debuted at No. 20 on the Classical Albums chart in America, further underscoring the series' musical impact. As the story unfolds, it's clear that music plays a significant role in Wednesday's success, with Lady Gaga at the forefront.
