The fact that she released Just Dance and Poker Face as her two first singles is crazy.

Two of the most recognizable instrumentals of all time, back to back.

It's so iconic but I think it set her up. The GP graded all her future lead singles against them.

Abracadabra would've been a number one hit if we weren't in this sleepy bedroom slop era

I was hoping there would be an anniversary merch for MAYHEM. Oh lazyGa

Sometimes I wanna give good whacks to some of people in here for their poor taste like @frankvert but I don't have the balls to do that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I still remember @Manchs said he didn't like Dance In the Dark and I feel so uneasy. How can't you love that song? That's my childhood melody. It's my cocomelon I grew up with.

It's growing on me. Lowkey.

Saw a viral tiktok about a guy with autism saying one of the most clear signs of autism is having an endless obsession with a single song and his was Alejandro

Just read that onomatopoeia thread & PHEW I'm in shambles. Starting to feel bad for OGHs bc not liking Gaga is clearly connected to lower brain functionality & capacity. Liddos are chosen ones

what ? did Eminem really invent the term "Stan"? Is it from his song with Dido ? (the only good part is Dido obviously).

Why are we even using a term invented by that trash ?

He didn't invent it directly — people took it from his song and it caught on

He kinda did invent it directly though. He named an obsessive huge fan Stan in the song and it caught on.

That said, it's one of the most direct influences in modern pop culture. Usually when someone impacts something they have someone else to thank who preceded them but with Eminem it's literally only him and his pen that created the term.

I can't wait for LG8 to kick TFM out of the holy trinity

That would be a much better scenario than it kicking out Joanne in the bottom three.

I didn't know stuttering is considered as Onomatopoeia

open the schools

Have a feeling LG8 will be her most acclaimed alboom ever

My biggest question for LG8 is will she truly fully break out of "pop" song structures? I'm not talking about production embellishments. I'm talking about like her version of Kid A. I personally think she has it in her & am excited at the thought of her being in such a strong & healthy creative environment. Gag can really sit back & think about how she elevate her musical legacy even further, in ways she hasn't done yet

I don't think she'll ever fully abandon pop song structures and general catchiness of pop.

Longest charting female soloists on the Billboard 200

1. Taylor Swift - 3,728 weeks (+8)

2. Barbra Streisand - 1,885 weeks

3. Adele - 1,133 weeks

4. Madonna - 1,119 weeks 

5. Rihanna - 1,083 weeks (+2)

6. Whitney Houston - 1,029 weeks (+1)

7. Aretha Franklin - 995 weeks 

8. Mariah Carey - 970 weeks

9. Billie Eilish - 958 weeks (+2)

10. Lady Gaga - 939 weeks (+2)

The Fame is still charting and might never leave the charts. Do you think she will eventually surpass Barbra, Madonna, Adele, Aretha, and Mariah?

I blame Bobby and Inter-throat for Abracadabra's chart performance in the US, but I also blame liddos

We almost had it! The predictions being Top 5 and then the Super Bowl happened.

I will forever be bitter and uglee about it. One of the biggest letdowns to an otherwise iconic era.

Come on Monsters

Let's build that time machine

And cancel the damn Super Bowl

Who's with me?

I don't really care about Abracadabra's peak ; in the 2020s Billboard peaks mean absolutely nothing. You have #1 songs that are tanks, and global smashes that barely peak in the top 40.

The real letdown of this era, and I think everybody agrees, is that they did not have a MV ready for the album drop. Either Vanish Into You, How Bad Do U Want Me or Garden Of Eden should've gotten the single treatment around that time.

I just think Gaga is too much of a no1curr in most of red state America to smash here

I think everyone wants decent peaks for their songs though lbr
