That dark pop song she eliminated to make a spot for DWAS. I'm sorry your creator failed you 

She could just add it without deleting anything. She might even add some songs to it so DWAS could make sense if anything.

[Snakeskinbr]

I don't really care about the cohesion discourse. I just want the songs to be good, period. If DWAS, which is a good song, is a part of the album for the stats, so be it. Many other artists would kill to have DWAS success and would definitely include it in their albums. Now DWAS stats won't be wasted. 

 

The other news are super exciting. I can't wait for LG7.

As long as Interscope doesn't TOUCH Abracadabra, I'm fine

 

Spoiler

Even if it's a little tacky lol

She better add as many songs as possible, a 22-track album or I'll steal her chicken in Malibu and make Taiwanese fried chicken.

Honey, I'm calm. We know it was finished by then cause she confirmed it herself on multiple occasions. +Andrew was busy with other projects etc 

 

With "OG LG7," I meant that the "first version" was completed in May, before any changes were made (if any changes happened at all). 

Since Andrew was away, I highly doubt that any of the songs we heard had any changes made to them.

 

Yeah every album has an initial recording period and Gaga also provides herself ample time to change things up and shift it around. There's no "original" album there's just the bulk of what she's had mixed and mastered and she could always add stuff to it. She was working on Joanne days up to the hour it had to be fully submitted to the label for pressing and was changing the ARTPOP tracklist weekly. You should know by now that a Gaga album isn't done until it's out 

[Almodusa]

Dance In The Dark

Dancin' In Circles

Diamond Heart

Die With A Smile

Disco Heaven

Disease

Do What U Want

Donatella

Dope

 

Okay so now she has 86 original solo studio album songs, with "D" having 9 songs, tying "A" and "B" for second place of most used first letters, behind "S" (with 11).

But on the bright side, Gesaffelstein is now confirmed as a co-producer of LG7 

 

Let's celebrate 🥳 🥂

When Gaga said to RS that the album has different moments throughout, I think at that point the decision to add DWAS has been made, which is why she probably said that too. She stuck with the cohesive narrative in the Carpool Karaoke so we'll see.

 

 

Now that we officially have 2 songs from LG7 already out and one of them with 1B+ streams, they won't feel pressured to "save" the album so their plans for January might be to just push DWAS to no.1 (maybe those deuxmoi rumors of filming with Bruno could be a video performance or smth with this goal in mind) and announce the album + preorders. And single no.3 in February close to the album release and guarantee a good debut week.

I agree. When do you think they'll open the pre-orders now? Initially, we needed a second single after the holidays, but now that it's no longer necessary, I'm wondering if they'll wait until February

I don't understand why you're so worked up, even when I tried to explain myself, you still didn't get what I meant.

dwas being on lg7 is tfm coded 

[misterdede]

I think DWAS would be a perfect album closer

 

If the party was over
And our time on Earth was through
I'd wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending
I'd wanna be next to you

 

Isn't that a perfect ending to chaos?

 

[selfieclownt]

BFFR if they didn't include DWAS on LG7 and the album underperformed we would never hear the end of it from stans.

 

The fact that Disease was the "lead" and they felt the need to tack on DWAS should instill confidence that the rest of the album is more experimental and exploratory than those tracks sans maybe one or two others they had in mind as potentials singles.

 

Either way, Watt (and Gaga) are coproducers of DWAS, I'm sure it will sound fine with the rest of the record.

 

Also regarding album "versions" you must be new here if you think she doesn't work on albums and change things up until the very last second (if she's passionate about the work). Chromatic is probably the only exception here.

 

They reserve slots for physical productions ahead of time they're going to press and ship right before album release. You don't have to finish your album months in advance.

From a business perspective they'll probably want to wait for DWAS to hits no.1, then announce the album with preorders. They'll be aiming for that "including the #1 single" selling point

 

Edit: and by wait I mean after planning out a strategy

ok reading the last comments i feel better about dwas being on the record. still a little bitter? yeah. but i think it will work.

[Jack!]

I still presume we'll get a single in January, it just might be towards the end of the month now vs the start. Maybe the 24th, give it a full track week on its own with a radio deal and some smaller TV performances like the late night shows (they happen in January, right?) and then she can perform a medley at the Grammy's on the 2nd Feb with all the LG7 songs (Disease, new single, DWAS w/ Bruno) and give it a second week boost and create buzz for the album which would be dropping on either 14/02 or 21/02. Hopefully snag an award that's televised. Also, it's a good sign they're hopeful that DWAS might snag the #1 in January. I see the vision but also somehow know deep down it won't be as straightforward as we hope.

not her having her biggest lead single on her 7th album  QUEEN

[Universo]

some of you are so dramatic 

[FameFatale]

Not me thinking liddos would be happy over DWAS being included but it's nothing but dramatics  I swear I remember "insiders" saying months ago it was a part of the album so I'm not shocked at all.

With ARTPOP she had to choose between Brooklyn Nights and Mary Jane Holland, she didn't just put both on the album. Hopefully they don't remove anything to make space for DWAS. The more music we receive the better.

[hausofdave]

DWAS - 57.830 (+0.522)

 

[MadMax12]

So is LG7 pretty much confirmed to go number 1 now with DWAS streams? Or does it depend how it does through the tracking week?

WAKE THIS TEA UPPPP

 

The album lyrically ending with a song being like "the party's over but i still love you" is perfect

 

This is why Gaga is the artist and we are the public 

[Pop Art]

I have mixed feelings about Die With a Smile being on LG7.

 

1. From a charts perspective, this is an obviously smart decision, and it would still be one even if Disease was also smashing. DWAS being so massive yet all those units not counting towards any album is such a waste, so I'm glad to see they will go towards something.

 

2. From a cohesion perspective...I personally can't see how this could fit on an album with Disease.  BUT, you could say the same if she had released only Just Dance and Brown Eyes before The Fame, only Bad Romance and Speechless before The Fame Monster, and only Applause and Dope before ARTPOP — the point being this isn't exactly a novel situation where there is a ballad on the album that you wouldn't think would fit based on the sound of the lead single alone, which is ultimately all we have to work with at the moment. Could it still sound out of place? Absolutely. But until we hear it all together, we just don't really know.

 

3. No matter which way you sway on this, one thing is clear: Gaga isn't "wrong" for this because it's a normal practice that many artists do. In fact, she's not even doing the worst version of it that is tacking it on after release.

 

I think we need to wait and see how it factors in to the album as a whole before we make any serious judgements or have any meltdowns. OGHs will be OGHs and sure they seem "happy" about having something new to drag her over, but ultimately they're more upset than anything that now LG7 automatically won't be the bomb they were hoping it would be.

[kwek_kwek]

DWAS getting back to 11m daily streams on LG7 release week.

[Sannie]

This fanbase was melting down at the idea of DWAS not being on the album for commercial performance sake and now it's the opposite. Never change, Monsters.

Anyone worried about cohesion should simply listen to BTW. Over a dozen different genres packed into one album. That is Gaga at her best.

Whaaaat where is the part about 2 new videos??

Wait actually I'm not sure it's confirmed, the article mentioned her filming a music video now and there was rumor she was filming one 2 weeks ago too, I am not sure though it's confusing
