Flop after flop after flop. Her career was in such a horrid state until the Super Bowl and A Star is Born brought her career back from the grave. What was going wrong? https://youtu.be/ohs0a-QnFF4?si=1PjOXDrJdo9UYj5v

She has more flop albums than successful albums but at least she kept collaborating with artists to get non solo hits.

You live on this site and have to ask this question?

10 years ago was Joanne though, way after the ARTPOP fiasco. Which flop era exactly do you want to dissect?

Isn't this just a perfect descriptor for Xtina from 2010-2013?

she must not have known until later that collaborations are all she needed to get hits

She was winning too much being already legendary with her first albums and people were rooting to see her fail to feel better with their miserable lifes but Godga prevailed in the end with her talent

What was wrong? I mean, have you heard Stupid Love or Perfect Illusion?

I blame the 'raw' approach (Shallow was an anomaly).

The SOLO streak is still continuing

Lady Gaga had an AMAZING streak with 'The Fame / The Fame Monster' and 'Born This Way' (2008/2011) but there were many disconnections with the GP during her releases in the last decade:

1. 'ARTPOP' Era was a mess, despite having 'Applause' the GP didn't like the record and we can se how the streams are after 13 years. Yes, it's a Cult Classic for her fans and Pop Fans but overall people never connected and let's not talk about all the scandals. It wasn't really a Gaga's slump considering how it sold during it first weeks, people just didn't connect with the record.

2. 'Joanne' was another record that people didn't ask but they recieved BUT at least Gaga took something good about it and that was still working in evolving her sound into something more mature later with 'A Star is Born' and her 'Super Bowl' helped her to re-introduce that persona that many people were missing.

3. 'A Start is Born' was something beautiful for her career and she really took all that criticism and bad moments to put a better version of herself. People were once again listening to Gaga and her career feels like rebirth after a bad streak.

I'm not going to talk about my opinion on 'Chromatica' but Lady Gaga is someone that really impress me, that's why longevity and worldwide impact are always going to be more important!

I have, and Perfect Illusion is still an absolute banger! Stupid Love was Max Martin's fault. Evil Swedish troll

Also Cheek 2 Cheek lasted longer on the charts than some albums right now

Who cares, I honestly feel it's a real test of a MPG when they can underperform and come back.

She did not yet learn the Xtina loophole of latching onto something more successful to stop flopping.

2 out 3 things she releases these days still flop so i'd say that streak is still intact

That was what saved her career lol. If she had kept doing the same thing, she would be in a Katy Perry / Xtina situation.

Oop

Ngl, she felt beyond washed at the time. Its funny how things change because now she feels like an undeniable cross-generational icon.

Anyone who considers CTC a flop is delusional with their expectations. That album is the most successful trad pop record of the 21st century, it peaked at #1, won a Grammy, and made 1.8M units. Until another MPG does those numbers with a genre completely absent from the charts, sieth.

When are you going to drop the act you do know you're always appearing where DMF is ?

Also Sneaking in 'avoiding Xtina's mistake' …you wish she sings for 20 second on jagger and say something was a voice droplet she was lucky to get.

Gaga got where she is now because her catalogue isnt complete garbage and she had 6 IFPI entries. People are genuinely impressed by her voice and her talent and she kept a fanbase. She will always have that 'it' factor.
