I'm changing my original answer. GL could have fit on MAYHEM but with a darker, more gothic production (BOG type synths from Gesa for example). But that's getting too into hypotheticals, so in only taking each actual song at face value as they were released, im updating to this:

1. Disease

2. Abracadabra

3. Garden of Eden

4. Perfect Celebrity

5. Can't Stop the High

6. Killah

7. Zombieboy

8. LoveDrug

9. How Bad Do U Want Me

10. Shadow of a Man

11. The Beast

12. Vanish Into You

13. Die with a Smile

Oh yes I definitely do agree with GRAMMY Into You as the final song before DWAS, I had the same placement for it when I reordered the tracklist

Glamorous Life son or Happy Mistake daughter when it comes to replacing Blade of Grass in the tracklist?

Diseases hitting rn MAYHEM's second single did THAT

She's become the type to announce stuff much closer to the release date. I'm sure the concert film is still coming (this year).

Why do I get the feeling we won't see anything of the Mayhem Ball movie this year (if ever)? Hmm. I guess that's a wrap for 2026, folks

They filmed it over 4 days with thousands of people complaining about retakes, pauses and obstructed views due to camera crew, all for perfect shots and even getting refunds for it. There's no way it would get scrapped.

There's still 4 months to the end of the year. It could still be released anytime between Gagaween and as a Christmas gift a la Harlequin Live. Let her enjoy her break and take her sweet time giving it the final touches and LG.ATE.

I just remembered Miley's reaction at the GaGrammys last year #poordat

I'm sure it's going to be released.

It would be a huge mistake not releasing her most acclaimed and praised show, I only hope she manages to have a Netflix release and not a niche streaming service.

if they play their cards right, MAYHEM REQUIEM should be getting grammys noms and they should just release the documentary and the tour film during the campaign period

The music video type special jury that blocked Abra's nom reading this like

Yeah honestly there shoudn't be any Grammys expectation for the next year, especially considering how things went this year coming from a big era, not to mention in the past, I don't think she has real chances to win anything with the next ceremony.

Spotify / 09.07, Monday

#24 (+2) Gaga

#16 (+1) Die With a Smile / 2,505,362

#158 (+15) Poker Face / 1,199,164

It'd be cool if she continued the tradition and teased LG8 at the end of the Mayhem Ball.

Yeah I think she isn't win competitive at the upcoming ceremony. Realistically she might get 1-2 at most (Best Song Written for Visual Media and/or Best Dance Pop Recording). Could also end up being zero.

now that we have an official record

Mayhem Ball premiere should be executed similarly to Requiem.

A private screening with limited invitations in a historic theatre in LA.

Or in a warehouse setting, similar to the ARTPOP launch. Where the stage is actually set up one more time, facing opposite to the Movie Screen.

Along with the costumes and props being exhibited across the warehouse floor space, elevated and with directional lighting like an art piece.

Then it'll be available on Disney+ for streaming

(Thank you TDWP2!)

Y'all are too hopeful for the THEY/THEM Ball movie release

Her best chance this year would have been another dance pop recording with 'The Dead Dance' (it shoudn't be submitted in visual media), but I think they're gonna award Madonna in that category, unless I am missing a dance hit that right now doesn't come to mind (maybe 'Dracula'?).

Best song written for visual media is on lock for Swift i think that is why I woudn't submit TDD there.

I can see 'Runway' getting a filler pop duo or song for visual nomination but with no chance of a win.

I can see 'Mayhem Requiem' being totally snubbed or getting a filler nomination in something at best.

I'd say it has a 10% chance of getting into Music Film. Music docs dominate there. Don't think the album will be submitted at all, and it's "strongest" chance is in Immersive Audio Album which wouldn't credit her anyway.

Dance Pop is weird this year, the top songs, Stateside and Dracula, will probably compete in Pop Duo/Group performance. Madonna might show up there, but none her songs were as relevant as Padam Padam, Von Dutch or Abracadabra. I just hope a super gay song wins it again

Madonna's Danceteria is winning Dance Pop, it's a category they can award Confessions II while paying it dust everywhere and she has the benefit of the Mayhem producers credited on the track. It'd track as a trend of them awarding the gayest songs in said category.

I don't see her getting any Grammy nominations. TDD and Runway where both such no events. As much as Requiem was incredible, it also flew under the radar as an AM exclusive event. I wish they treated her like some other artists where she could just submit an album track like Vanish Into You and win SOTY/ROTY two years after said album was released.

To be fair, others were able to cause their album didn't win. MAYHEM won Pop Vocal Album which prevents other tracks from competing in the following year.
