How can they claim they are only on PR and distribution but at the same time can claim to know the status of songs in the studio? Genuine question lol

“ASIB didn’t help” like it didn’t give her demand for an all-stadium tour and enough hype to get her best first week sales since 2011. The ball was dropped afterwards, and no one’s disputing that, but c’mon  though if they’re really making sure everything goes according to plan this time around (and the plans are good ones) then I won’t complain at all. 

I love Chromatica so this isn't a dig, and I also don't want to give major credence to those tweets, but compared to 3 of her peers who released big pop albums in 2020 with a big enough single, she was outsold by people like Dua and Ariana and although she did push more than Miley, only slightly. So in the grand scheme of what could have been achieved that year, I think there's a chance they could feel they undersold.

will she go back to arena tours? or is it only stadiums now? :(

I personally think she’s going to stick to stadiums for the time being. A shorter all-stadium tour seems more manageable for her health than a longer arena tour. But anything’s possible tbh. 

It's clear they dropped the ball but come on.

 

Gaga got her biggest debut with Chromatica literally except for BTW, and got another #1 song that was a smash hit in much of the world. That's WITH a lead single that leaked a month in advance, AND an album that got delayed for 6 weeks due to a global pandemic.

 

But ASIB was able to do all that, PLUS help sell out a stadium tour that was delayed 2+ years due to the same pandemic.

 

ASIB didn't help Gaga and her brand my ass. This **** is delusional and doesn't know a lick what he's talking about.

“Keep in mind no tracks have been mastered yet”

 

Im sorry but there’s just absolutely no way this is true, not after last nights IG posts 💀

I can't believe the pre-LG7 era will be remembered as the era of the battle of the "insiders". 

As if Chromatica would’ve debuted anywhere near 270k without ASIB  

 

also Billie situation, wtf are they talking about. Billie’s last era was a flop. Olivia’s last era was a flop. Madonna’s last era was a flop. Maroon 5’s last era was a flop. Interscope is ******* awful  if anything they were probably thrilled with how Chromatica performed 

Y'all are reaching for the stars rn. He obviously didn't mean ASIB helped in no way. He said the label insider he spoke to said "ASIB didn't help the GAGA brand" because it didn't help the GAGA brand. What's not clicking? Chromatica wasn't as massive or as big as the GAGA era's that we used to get on impact. It was like a better performing Joanne era now that we've been four years out. Does that make it bad or anything? Obviously not, it's just that it was a disappointing outcome considering how big ASIB was. Because ASIB and GAGA have little to no crossover appeal in brand value. From a label perspective you can clearly see how the GAGA brand wasn't positively impacted outside of more casual fans attending shows. Bloody Mary was a meme and was more impactful to Gaga's overall brand perception (in a good way) for the younger generation of listeners than a large portion of Chromatica was no tea. For a label that is focused on making money from MUSIC and not other ventures that Gaga does, I can see why they would think that Chromatica was a dissapointment, especially with the amount of investment on promotion and brand deals they had going into the era that didn't get to see the light of day bc of Covid. 

 

 

I wasn't gonna post them again but HELP????

Do you forget in Five Foot Two where they were literally mastering album tracks the night the album released or...

I love Chromatica, but it could’ve been much bigger. Like c’mon now.

What drugs are you on? ASIB is the only reason the Gaga brand is thriving

Obviously. But they're acting like it tanked her brand or somehow didn't improve it at all. It did.

 

But due to her and her team dropping the ball after release, yea the longevity wise is super disappointing. Should have been better.

I can see what you're getting at but at the end of the day, MOST of her discography got massive boosts in streams after ASIB dropped

Yeah, but we’ve all talked about how Chromatica era was underwhelming after ASIB era. It’s not offensive to say. 

Chromatica stopped the trend of big declines album to album but let's not pretend she wasn't aiming for something much bigger than just stemming the bleeding when she booked Ariana Grande at her peak and put out a house pop album when all she wanted to write was sad ballads.

Exactly

ASIB cemented her status as an icon, both in music and movies, what are you all talking about.

 

As someone who blames Sarah Tanno for everything, I have to say, there are a lot of factors that didn't help the Chromatica era, and ASIB wasn't one of them.

But the way and how he stated wasn't really accurate. That deserves a callout. 

 

An underwhelming performance or disappointment is not the same thing as a flop or drop in the brand. It really showed quite the contrary in fact as the first few weeks and its peaks show, it's just the material didn't connect with the (GP) audience.

If there is any truth to those tweets is that interscope wants LG7 to be bigger than chromatica. Right now perhaps Gaga/her team and label are having meetings about promotion and don’t want chromatica 2.0 regarding promo. Basically the era abonded after debut week. They want LG7 to have long legs. The music industry is a business and they want to make bank of Gaga . So that’s is understandable and actually seems realistic.
