base talk Will Gaga get a solo hit before this decade ends?

[longjohn9898]

Yes it is likely. But it depends entirely on what Gaga wants to do with her music and her career. She's going full throttle dark industrial pop on LG7 from what it sounds like thus far, which likely won't score well with the GP but may satisfy her fans and still could be an amazing album. It seems her most popular work more recently is more ballad focused like Always Remember Us This Way (in my opinion her best song) and Shallow and Die With A Smile. She doesn't need a collaboration to smash, but other artists create tack on remixes and collabs and flop but seem to get far less hate on this site. Sadly people will do anything to tear a successful female artist of her magnitude down. Her career as a whole hasn't depended on remixes or collaborations like so many of her peers have. The fact that she creates some of the biggest and most iconic songs ever while collaborating with others is a strength, not a weakness as the OP and so many others would like you to think. She has the vocal talent and the musical versatility to shapeshift if she wants to morph into what is popular, but she is also true to her artistry and craft in a way others aren't and won't just give people exactly what they want if that's not what she wants. At this point in her career her achievements and cultural impact stand on their own merit and her legacy is established. Creating another #1 hit in the US (mind you this is an America-centric argument) is not and should not be the priority over Gaga's own happiness. Surely her missing a #1 by 2030 in the US will bring far more joy to the OGHs than the joy she would get from getting one.

It would be easier to just write "no" and call it a day.

It's not my fault if you can't read more than three words. But I'll simplify it for you: yes.

She's getting hits, not everyone can say that...

The song was released under Interscope (Gaga's label), not Atlantic (Bruno's label) so no, it's not Brunos's lead, it's Gaga's. 

That doesn't say much. Gags and her label saw the potential and wanted to ensure they could slap it on the album in case things didn't go as they hoped they would with her own releases. And guess what happened  Bruno and his label just didn't care enough to keep it under their own flagship since he has no album planned. It's not an OGH thing to say. These are discussions that do happen between labels and artists in preparation of a project's launch. They were smart, I'll give them that!

When Gaga gets another solo hit which is inevitable what will y'all do? Seriously? What will the new drag be? I'm sure y'all will come up with something. The album's not out yet guys. Every Gaga album has had atleast one cute little solo top 10 hit but of course that's a flop for Gaga standards. Again sounds like something else is going on here. Meditation helps to redirect your attention to more fruitful endeavours.

Madonna's hits since Gaga debuted in 2008:

 

#3 4 Minutes w/ Justin Timberlake & Timbaland

#10 Give Me All Your Luvin w/ Nicki Minaj & MIA

#84 ***** I'm Madonna w/ Nicki Minaj

#43 Popular w/ The Weeknd & Playboi Carti

 

miss maam hasn't had a solo hit or even a real hit for 20 years now (2005 with Hung Up)

 

lets stop setting the pop legend and move on

 

So you left out songs like Miles Away, Turn up the Radio, Girl gone wild etc.  because they were hits songs just not here in the states

Britney hasn't had a solo hit since 2011. Madonna 2005 (a fluke era).

Gaga isn't on her own in this

Madonna debuted in 1983 so you highlighting her being able to get solo hits from then until 2005, which is a span of 22 years is really not the drag you think it is.

DWAS is her Flowers. 

 

You having to bring artists who debuted in 1983 and 1999 is a choice.. Gagas peers are Taylor, Rihanna, Adele, Katy. And 3 of those can still get solo hits. 

[Relampago.]

Methinks no but it's okay, her collabs are still huge hits. 

 

As a Rih stan, I can't say that's a bad thing! They served Rih will and will serve Gaga well.

[genio]

Every time Gaga is at the top, you'll see threads with endless pages discussing how much of a flop she is. It is comical at this point. 
 

Die With A Smile is going #1 next week and nothing can change this fact anymore. Lady Gaga is getting her sixth #1 in less than a week. 
 

Also, yes, of course she can get another solo hit if she wants to. The question should be, if she cares to get another one.

At a certain age, pop girls have to rely on younger artists to get hits. Legend Madonna didn't have to do that until she was in her 40s. Gaga was only in her early 30s and 6 albums in until she had to turn to younger collabs. And Britney is a relic from 2000s so no sense bringing her up.

Its crazy to think that without Rain on me, Chromatica would be only certified gold and have less streams than Smile album.

It has been decided, if Gaga gets a solo hit 22+ years into her career, she'll have surpassed Madonna! Can't wait to find out, Gaga has SO MANY more years/decades of releasing music, so exciting     I know OGH will be PERCHED too! 

 

Also love how the 30+ years!!!!! is finally put to bed hihi. 22 years it is! And it wasn't even constant dominance either, as Madonna flopped multiple times before 2005 especially in the 90s. But anyway.. THE Lady Gaga will succeed SOLO and with COLLABS many more times in her career, things are looking very bright, she is gonna be turning 39 this year, she has so much time, I can see her releasing some more big ballads in her 40s and if that happens OGH should truly hide

Since we're playing the IF game and imaginary scenarios, we would never know what owuld happen if Gaga spent an entire year releasing droplet singles with music videos and promo and playlisting and then added the most successful ones to her album a year later. Katy released like 7 singles in 2019-2020 before smile came out and that's not including Daisies. Gaga's The Cure (one of her only droplets) is bigger than 95% of Katy's droplets so we never know what would happen if Gaga released 7 in one year, but cutei imaginary scenario sis

The person I quoted literally said that it's the lead of Bruno's album and now your argument says he has no album planned.

If Miley did it with Flowers, Gaga can. Because before that everyone was saying that she could never have a hit again.

exactly, she just needs the right song / sound. Disease is not it and I hope she's making some adjustments for LG7
