little legend Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I've seen countless times threads being made in a way that are trying to not let ASIB era being included with foolish excuses like "what was the last studio album of your fave that went multiple platinum" and etc. Why ATRL is afraid of ASIB era? Is it because it's an album with songs written from Gaga, sang from Gaga, performed by Gaga,used for a movie in which Gaga performed them and was the leading actress that was enormously praised and this causes them to panic?

Hot Volcano Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The Bodyguard Purple Rain Grease soundtracks are the reason Whitney, Prince and Olivia Newton-John had such an impact and they are the most iconic and important part of their discographies. But when it comes to Gaga, suddenly this is not applicable "but ...but ....its not a studio album!! Bradley!!!....what about Stupid Love?!!" Thankfully, the real world considers it a Lady Gaga album, unlike the bitter gays who will do anything to discredit a hard working woman they despiese.

vale9001 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I mean you don't say Zac Efron is a singer with 50M albums sold because of High school musical and The greatest showman soundtracks. It's hers but it also not hers, because the movie was successfull for a lot of reasons and factors. So the joke about when something is just a Gaga project will be again very successfull can stay.

PMKARDASHIAN Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’m just here to spam this avi because I love it so much OT: It was too successful and destroys the narrative that she’s been over since 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout2006 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The reason is as clear as glass...It isn't a studio album, it is a soundtrack. Oh, and before you counter me with the application of soundtracks onto the discographies such as that of Whitney and Prince, I don't recognize them as part of their discographies either.

magazine Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Because they are most likely stans of @ or @, and both of those girlies can't pull ASIB numbers. Therefore, they get mad about Gaga Secretly all of ATRL listens and likes Gaga music, which in the end is what matters and she wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For prince and Purple rain it's different. That's really just a Prince studio album and then he made a "movie video" of the record. Something he made also for other records. Different situation from The bodyguard or ASIB. Edited November 25, 2022 by vale9001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissman Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 ATRL loves a technicality, and based on that, it is NOT part of her solo stats. That being said, we all can use deductive reasoning, or just common sense to see that not only she is a main writer on the songs, but the main vocalist too and the main driving force behind its success (aside from the success of the film that markets the music as well). To state that it is NOT part of her career is foolish, and ATRL needs to move away from acting like they're Billboard, needing to organize data. We can both say "this is a soundtrack album, not her Lady Gaga studio album" and "this is an achievement in her career and can be added to her overall totals."

Exactly, there are like 10-20 users in here who like to create their own world in which Gaga is a huge flop. But in the end, she is credited for countles awards (Grammy´s, Oscar, Golden Globe, Critics Choice, BAFTA & co), 90% of the total streams count towards her, she is credited for 17/19 songs as writer or producer and she has/had (don´t know if BTS broke it) the most awarded song of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleEarthquake Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 But if you include it as a studio album, wouldn't that make Chromatica seem like a bigger flop ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!X Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I personally do not care, but it begs the question why was her next project such a big underperformance in comparison then? Esp since she actually tried super hard to make it a hit (Ariana feature, dance pop sound that made her huge in the first place, BLACKPINK collab for those extra streams)?

littlebodybigheart Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 it’s just weird that she had been flopping since 2013, suddenly a soundtrack album does well, and then she goes right back to flopping with her next project. i see why people would doubt that gaga is the selling force behind a star is born.

You basically summarized it. No one's scared of mentioning ASIB, its success just didn't translate into her own projects so it's foolish to act like she's become a force to be reckoned with again because of it.

"Flopping" when she had a big hit literally with every era You clearly have different standards when it comes to Gaga. Applause is eligble for 5x Platinum, Milion Reasons for 4x Platinum, Rain On Me coming for 4x, as I've said, all of her studio albums had at least one big hit.

By the Water Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Some of you act like ASIB is some kind of behemoth that other stans are jealous of when it's on par with albums that were called local flops like Anti and Lover The reality is that the project as a whole was a success and Gaga played a part in it but it's clearly not a good indication of the state of her musical career. It's not like this discourse is exclusive to Gaga either, there was always debate around The Bodyguard being considered the best selling female album of all time vs Come On Over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
