Both eras came after re-peaks and both eras were carried by singles featuring artists that were popular at the time being. 

 

Which era was more successful?

Hard Candy, but Liddos told me that COVID targeted Gaga so it's not a fair comparison.

Chromatica was bigger, narrowly 

4 Minutes is bigger than any Chromatica song and the S&S tour is the biggest of all time so

4 Minutes was a bigger event than the whole Chromatica era. 

Chromatica -- 2B Spotify streams

Hard Candy -- idk 300m?

The answer is clear.

OT: Hard Grammy. Bigger album, bigger hits and the biggest female tour of all time. And she did at the age of 50. Legend.

Sticky & Sweet Tour: most successful female tour of all time

Chromatic Ball: ???

 

The answer is clear.

4 Minutes spent twice (and more) the amount of weeks in the top 10 than the entire Chromatica era

Stupid Love has 2x streams of the supposed "event" 4 minutes. 
The answer is very clear.

I'm pretty sure 4 Minutes is gaining more daily Spotify streams / daily YT views as we speak 

 

Hard Candy has a Grammy 4 minutes and a highly successful  tour. Chromatica has more streams.

 

Even like Chromatica more the obivous answer is Hard Candy.

Chromatica 

 

#1 album ✅

#1 Single ✅

Top 5 single ✅

Grammy ✅

 

Hard Candy 

 

#1 album ✅

#1 Single ❌

Top 5 single ✅

Grammy ✅

 

As we can see, Chromatica was bigger.

Hard Candy gets it for the tour alone…

 

Without the tour? It would be a pretty even match.

4 minutes was actually a real radio hit with legs unlike Rain On Me

4 minutes was #1..... in a bunch of countries outside the US....

 

 

Also now let's compare tours and album sales

 

I just realized Miles Away was the biggest song in Japan (2008) 

 

 

Global + solo tingz 

 

Hard Candy easily

ROM could've reached no.1 but this says it all
