Crazy how ever since ARTPOP, most of Gar's hits are ballads

 

Million Reasons

Shallow

ARUTW

DWAS

 

 

 

Million Reasons: 5x platinum eligible in the US

Shallow: Diamond eligible in the US

ARUTW: 5x platinum eligible in the Us

DWAS: 

 

I'm sensing a pattern here 

I can't get over how good her vocals are singing That's Life they are so big and soaring but its not screaming, the tone is literally perfect. It's giving Cynthia Erivo singing Defying Gravity or Gaga singing Shallow. Since it sounds amazing watch it not even be in the movie..

Hand with its 10m playlist peak hitting 400m in less than 7 years,

Our society tends to be ageist, often implying that after a certain age, especially if you are a woman, you're no longer allowed to "have fun." 

 

Ballads are often seen as more "palatable" or universally acceptable.
(P!nk took a similar approach, catering to a mid-aged audience, and leaning into generic HAC music. This strategy helped her achieve significant longevity in her career.)

 

At the very least, Gaga consistently delivers quality songs with a distinct personality. Even with ballads, her music always stands out and stays true to her unique style. (HMH is an exception tho...)

 

That's what makes Madonna and Cher stand out—they defied these expectations and achieved major comebacks without conforming to what people thought they should be doing at their age. Cher did this with Believe, and Madonna did it multiple times, first with Ray of Light and later with Confessions on a Dance Floor. 
 

I think LG7 will follow a similar path. While Chromatica was marketed as Gaga's "comeback to pop," it didn't fully connect with the world for various reasons, like the pandemic. Now, she has the goodwill of both her older audience, which she solidified with A Star Is Born, DWAS and her jazz work, as well as the newer generation that discovered her through "Bloody Mary" and TikTok. This could set the stage for a really impactful release.

 

I can't wait to hear what she's been working on. She seems genuinely excited about this album, and that energy always translates into something special. It feels like it's going to be a significant moment in her career.

cant get over of fad singing "thats life" she sounds so good 

Our next global competitor could be Linkin Park. Their new song is good and rising in Europe and LatAm.

If it's a 2025 summer tour they could definitely announce it next month.

HMH and DWAS will be hitting 400m the same week. Omg.

They have peaked and their audience is limited, so the only competition is if The Weeknd somehow managed to sneak his way back into GP's interest. But that won't happen for at least another week.

It was unfortunately. 911 was the best part and then...

The Weeknd song is not going anywhere, it's a certified bomb

"looking forward to the lg7 era"

 

the era in question being 4 interviews of her on the same couch with different jackets and sunglasses for 4 european radio stations, apple music zane lowe interview, and 2 filmed on iphone 16 music videos

You are so right. I think people underestimate how perfect the timing is. Just yesterday I saw a tiktok with 600k likes of someone dancing to Judas and saying they can't wait for new Gaga music. I feel like the last time teenagers and younger generations were this interested in Gaga was before ARTPOP era. Female artists in general are thriving and Gaga is being brought up by that but there is also a renewed interest in her catalogue that could translate to new music if it's undeniable. She's in a better position than post-ASIB.
