For comparison, here's some certifications from Gaga in France: Artpop (2013) : Platinum Joanne (2016): Gold Chromatica (2020): Gold Yes, it is a lot indeed.

It definitely is, especially compared to the last solo albums of the other pop girls. Sia is the only one I can think of whose last album went multi-platinum in France. Joanne and Chromatica went Gold, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: a multi-platinum solo album, which is difficult to get Well in the last 10 years Gaga has managed her second 2x plat album, and her second diamond album in France. Quite the return on just two records! Also you seem mistaken. Joanne's follow up, as per the SNEP, is the Lady Gaga record A Star Is Born. You're a stickler for what certification bodies list as artists for albums, so I'm sure you're aware of that But glad Rihanna's finally hit that 2x plat mark, her un-scored tour date from France from that era looked like a rare sell-out from pics Edited December 21, 2020 by Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't brag about a return considering a return implies one or more underperforming albums in the track record, which she lacks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanne_(album) Quote Joanne is the fifth studio album by American singer Lady Gaga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatica Quote Chromatica is the sixth studio album by American singer Lady Gaga. Sounds like "Chromatica" was indeed the follow-up to "Joanne". Was hoping the success of duet soundtrack of movie remake A Star Is Born would translate into her post-ASIB album scanning more than her pre-ASIB album but another Gold album is not so bad. I'll always applaud consistency, even when it's at the lowest threshold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing Gaga can release Diamond albums along with the ones you're clinging to in this thread (which happen to be more recent and as a result far more impressive to hit a much higher threshold faster!) But as I said in this thread from the beginning, which seems to have really ruffled the feathers of the person who will pick and choose when they follow what certification bodies credit to artists, an upper end of 2x platinum in five years is an impressive feat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zs2236 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 She better release a pop album.... another r&b influenced album isn’t going to do well in Europe, which was her biggest market. But congrats Riri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
