fan base Lady Gaga

Completely agree. I would've loved something special for ARTPOP's 10th and never expected a complete body of work as in act II but maybe something like what she did for Born This Way or even Dawn of Chromatica.
Maybe jazz makes her lighter and happy cause she doesn't feel the pressure of succeeding or proving her worth in the current streaming/sales climate.

All I’m realistically expecting is a post about the anniversary and possibly (ugly) merch (a la The Fame)

At this point a new vinyl variant would make me happy

I'm so excited for November 11, because then people will stop holding out hope for act 2 and move on.

Great performance of her #8 hit single 

[Kimi]

No but it's hilarious how dope is one of her top 10 songs and it's not even gold

Maybe it is but interflop didn't update

Who knows how many more tracks she has that would be gold if interscope would just pay riaa for an update of her entire discography

I bet Government Hooker, Scheisse, Bloody Mary, Joanne, John Wayne, Look What I Found, Is That Alright?, 911, Hold My Hand could all be certified 

[Devin]

The bolded one - yes. Although BM and HMH's certifications have been updated, they are definitely not eligible for 2x Platinum. 

GH and Scheisse? Gurl, I don't think they have accumulated even 250k units in the US

You sure? Back in the day tracks were selling so it's not that much on streaming for these. I don't know

I have these all eligible for the following: 

Hold My Hand: 1x plat 

Bloody Mary: 1x plat. Confirmed to be at 1.15 million RIAA units back in March. I have no idea what it's at now, though probably not at 2x plat yet.

Look What I Found: 1x plat

Is That Alright?: 1x plat

John Wayne: Gold

911: will be gold within a year maybe?

Chromatica: 1x plat (idk why they dragged their feet on this one specifically)

 

And that's not counting Poker Face being 13x eligible while it's still at 10x, Shallow being at or around 10x eligible when it's currently at 4x, ARUTW being 4x eligible when it's at 1x, ect. I'm sure they'll update her certifications when she releases her next album in 2025

Thanks! Such a shame she's like 20M undercertified in singles and we always say "at the start of next era" but they never actually update her catalog, just some songs

Now we all know Ga wouldn't pass up an opportunity to release an album when chart competition is at its highest  so we should take the fact that Dua, Katy, and Ariana are all releasing soon to be a good sign. #LG7Q12024Confirmed 

2023 would have given her so much room to smash commercially on her own but her releases have done well on their own in competitive years (2013, 2016, and 2020).

 

But honestly I don't care if she's left in the dust commercially, I care if she's left in the dust on music quality. Gaga doesn't need more hits, she needs to continue the acclaim train ASIB/Chromatica started.

No problem! I counted her RIAA eligible stats recently and have her at around 135-140 million units total. Updating a few songs here and there is a good way to generate a few positive headlines with relatively low effort (like certifying Just Dance 11x plat. earlier this year) but just letting some songs go as under-certified as they have for as long as they have is ridiculous.

That is a good point, especially since Chromatica would've received much more promo had Covid not happened. I'm not gonna lie, I do hope they attempt a similar scale of promotion that Chromatica was supposed to have received with LG7 just because I love seeing her everywhere. And the numbers-tracker in me hopes they get all the playlisting, radio deals, and autoplay lined up as well. 

 

But I do agree that the quality of the next record should really be prioritized. That's why I'm not super picky about the genre of the next album; if it's great music regardless then the genre won't really matter. There's songs on ASIB (Digging My Grave for example) that belong to a genre that I would otherwise never listen to. But I revisit them pretty often because they're that good. Like I've said before, if the producers that she's alleged to have worked with are in fact working on LG7, then I think we'll be getting some quality music.
