Sorry, I guess I'm just jealous of seeing all that praise for Katy while Gaga might be working with Blood Pop for all I know

Babygirl, the people at the listening party are mostly fans, so I would take their overpraising with a grain of salt. Also, Gaga is working with artist producers.

Even Lisa is releasing this summer too.

it did worse than artpop and asib so idk what last two record you talk about 

I was referring to LG4 (ARTPOP) and LG5 (Joanne) 

Chromatica is LG6. 
 

As others already pointed out, Chromatica did better than ARTPOP and Joanne 

 

Sales wise TF(M) > BTW > Chromatica > Joanne > ARTPOP. 
 

Gaga definitely deserves credit for ASIB, but if we are talking about solo Gaga albums it should not be included in this discussion

Saving our energy for next weeks countdowns and meltdowns

 

is it just me that wants her to do a song with Redone again? I feel like since she starved him out that he would absolutely bring his A-game.. 

 

Who wants to start a new countdown for tomorrow?

 

 

23 hours 55 minutes

 

 

WW: Chromatica = ARTPOP > Joanne

US: Joanne > Chromatica = ARTPOP

 

But Chromatica has the biggest tour so I'd give it the overall edge. Then ARTPOP because it has more sales and gets more daily streams than Joanne. Then Joanne. But they all aren't far from each other.

New single and video by whom? 

I hate Gar for not releasing a video for Replay.

your wish will come true 

Billie released a new video today, and she's interscope, maybe Gaga goes next week? 

Context is important when ranking Gaga's albums in terms of overall success.

 

ARTPOP has sold more SPS than Chromatica and Joanne but the entire dropped like a dead body after Applause, it's the closest she has to a panned record, and the arena tour barely scraped $83 million.

 

Joanne sold more in the US, but it's global numbers ain't it and she needed to perform the era's only hit 50x plus at a halftime show just to get to the top 5. The record also had mixed reviews. The arena tour accomplished a respectable $95 million but the album's longevity is basically MR's streams.

 

Chromatica earned Gaga her first pop #1 since Born This Way, had a #5 peaking lead despite being leaked months in advance, won a Grammy, earned her the strongest first-week debut since 2013, is one of her most acclaimed albums, has had better longevity than the other two records, and had a record-breaking stadium tour that grossed $120 million with a tenth of the dates the other tours had.

 

Objectively speaking, this is the correct ranking of her most recent albums' performances:

1. Chromatica

2. ARTPOP

3. Joanne

3. Joanne

This is the correct answer.

Now, if I could personally re-do the last 8 years of Gaga's career, here's what I'd do:

 

- JOANNE - pivoting from ARTPOP was important and C2C was a brilliant move. But I don't think she swung hard enough for Joanne. It was trying too hard to straddle the lines between ballads, country and dance music. It should have gone full-Folklore and been TRULY stripped back and that would have made more of an impact IMHO.

- A STAR IS BORN - no notes except for the pop tracks but the movie kinda doomed those the way they were positioned in the narrative.

- CHROMATICA - after the massive success of ASIB, she abandoned all those new fans and tried to release a "return to form" that no one was asking for except her aging gay fanbase. She should have made an Adele-like album after ASIB and waited for the "we want weird gaga back" demand to build for LG7.  A ballads album would have done much better during the pandemic, too. That being said, she did pick up some new Gen Z gay fans with Chromatica, but frankly I feel like TikTok's discovery of BTW has done more in that regard.
