This. Folklore is a bit more commercial but Evermore is as much alternative as Harlequin is jazz and it debuted with like 65 million streams so… 

But they are her regular studio albums with original songs, not a side-project with jazz covers. What are you comparing? The proper comparison for those two would be LG7, for example. 

[Big Bad Wolf]

No surprises here, it's an album filled with Americana Songbook covers. At least it has 'The Joker' tbh, I need more of that for LG7.

So Harlequin vs 143 is the new roar vs applause? 

OMG!

[Darkroth]

Why do OGH's come here to drag Gaga for a mostly covers filled album that all of her fanbase and herself included, knew it's not gonna get enough sales and traction? Yall are so obsessed and delusional 

[V$.]

Save those excuses for the movie's box office...

 

[Toxic.Latin]

143 impact.

Congratulations to Katy Perry for being able to compete with Lady Gaga's side hustle as a jazz cover artist 

Katy's currently on her 'cancelled' era while Gaga... I guess people just don't care

Let's be serious for a minute. 
To claim GP is not here for her, while her song is at the top of the charts is ridiculous honestly. It's just not everyone's genre, I highly doubt she was expecting the album to chart.

So now Folklore and Evermore are "side projects" 

 

No commercial qualities whatsoever 

 

The constant goalpost moving is crazy

Having one of the biggest songs in the world isn't enough to inspire more interest in that artist's latest project?

I mean we could compare this to Taylor's soundtracks such as Carolina not smashing either but that'd mean you would be getting dragged... as usual. 

Carolina was for a small flop movie. Why not compare it to IDWLF?

Why not compare IDWLF to Shallow?

Well we'll see once the lead to her next album is released. Again, The Gift didn't say much about Beyoncé's hit-making status nor did Carolina say much about Taylor's.

what we're not gonna do is call this a "surprise album"  

right? the audacity!

 

A surprise release that was selling physicals prior to release date. How surprising!

Because Taylor has had plenty of success since IDWLF so we don't have to cling to half a decade old songs

ASIB didn't do much for Gaga's studio albums either so you might have a point

Neither did Chromatica outside of Rain on Me but point taken 

 

And yet Chromatica's interludes outstreamed the singles of certain people

If by certain people you mean Katheryn "Katy Perry" Hudson you're gonna have to try again because I don't really care about her. I do know that the song my fave was featured on the Chromatica track list was the biggest song from that album, so

Everyone saying "It's a Jazz album" as a defense as if Jazz albums don't have the potential to be good 

 

They're good, and acclaimed. They just don't pull big commercial numbers, what's not clicking?
