base talk Will Gaga's next studio album debut with Smile numbers?

[perfillusion]

You can only scream theatrically over pop songs with bad lyrics and have an incompetent team stuck in 2010 for so long until you pull a Smile. Is that what awaits Gaga if/when she releases another studio album?

[enchanted0]

No. But probably will do worse than Witness

[Kayseri Mantisi]

this time she'll switch BLACKPINK with BTS and Ariana Grande with SZA probably so no. she always has some tricks to make it seem like she's successful on her own.

[kexin]

nah, it’s a 100k+ debut guaranteed if vinyl is ready by release date. 

[Kill Me]

No tour/merch bundles = No 100k+ first week sales

She'll do something close to 70k.

[Funnyfatty]

Well her last album had potential. It opened with bigger numbers than Artpop joanne and asib during covid and everything that happened that week in the US. She lost all of that hype for sure. Chromatica could have been huge but 3 years later she still has promises she doesn’t keep like that stupid chromatica ball. She lost a huge part of her fanbase and i see her just as a liar tbh. I will give her next album a listen but she is not an artist i can respect tbh. Hopefully she flops so she can gracefully release music with old dinosaurs.

Goodness I didn't know/remember Smile's opening numbers I looked it up and couldn't believe it

I think Gaga still has a big enough fanbase for that to happen just yet maybe in 10-20 more years to come but not now.

[Cruel Summer]

I don’t think that’s very likely. Gaga still has a relatively dedicated fan base and a higher public profile with continued well-received acting endeavors.

[thismoment]

Smile was a buzz album and a gift for the fans, it doesn’t really count as a proper release 

[vale9001]

Gaga (like bey, taylor or adele) will never have a disastrous first week. 

[brooklyndaddy]

She hasn’t served since 2013 but since she’s not a risk taker despite her trying to make us believe so, she will return with a Million Reasons-esque power ballad which will probably do well because the GP likes simple. Think Adele but more screaming lol. 
 

Praying though that she teams up with an AG Cook or even Oneothrix Point Never type figure for a cohesive album of refined bangers 

[torontowest91]

When is it expected? Will it be a pop album? 

[WitnessOblivia]

No. Gaga has a loyal and big fanbase.

[Cryptique]

with the way she's treating her fanbase for the past years, i won't be surprised honestly 

[Into The Void]

I'm not sure I think and I mean based on releases lately she could do maybe 80k or maybe 180k. I honestly dont know anymore

[AmericanIdol]

If it's another jazz album it will

 

Love For Sale debuted with less units than Smile 

[Gagaqueen]

 

Next album debut #1 as Always

Hold Up (Wait a Minute) -- Not Gaga stans posting OGH threads   It feels like there's been a "disturbance in the force" of this fanbase ever since that damn Nurtec ad 

[State of Grace.]

As much as many of you want to see it, Gaga will never flop that hard or have a disastrous bomb like that. She still has a loyal fanbase (although they've been dropping like flies) and they will show up for her (Pop) releases forever. Call it stockholm syndrome but that's a fact and her chokehold on the gays will always make them check out her work.

 

Gaga's brand is simply bigger and that's why she's still able to sellout stadiums even if Chromatica wasn't necessarily your typical smash era.

If she goes country rock route she'll be ok. If she will release the same dated dance pop sound then it's over. 

[The Witch]

She kinda pissed half of her fanbase off this year, so maybe. 

 

[PMKARDASHIAN]

“Scream theatrically” 

 

OT: no I don’t believe it will

can you blame the liddos? ads and maus labs are her priorities now 

[Solaria]

Hell no, Stefani Germanotta has the most loyal fanbase ever, the minute that we get our hopes up even a tiny bit that we might get a decent era we switch like ******* 

[SwiftLover]

Album? I thought she acted
