Leave it to Swifties to exhibit their psychotic parasocial behavior in a random thread about some guy dying Condolences to the children

I certainly didn't purchase Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Going?) to impress my credentials upon user Infernal Paradise on website ATRL

lady Gaga (debuted in 2000s) achieved two of the biggest smash hits of the year 2025 with DWAS and Abracadabra. Are you surprised?

Yes this song is a massive disappointment bigger than the mess that was I Don't and GTFO. Songs like Portrait and 8th Grade prove she's out of touch

With the success that both have had in the past year and now celebrating over a decade of music industry, have Ariana and Taylor Swift finally reached Janet Jackson's tier?

Which new song by a 2000s MPG do you prefer and why? Do you agree with the below analysis?

Gaga currently has the #1 and #2 songs in the world with DIE WITH A SMILE and ABRACADABRA, 17 years from her debut Similarly, Mariah had the #1 and #2 songs with WE BELONG TOGETHER and SHAKE IT OFF, 14 years from her debut Both legends achieved these new career peaks after career lulls, when everyone thought they would never have another hit Whose re-peak is bigger in the context of their overall careers?

Gaga and Bjork made history as the only MPGs to headline ever Coachella more than once. But, if Taylor headlined, it would be impossible for anyone to see her because her crowds are too big. Is Taylor too big for Coachella/Lollapalooza/Glastonbury/etc.?

Two queens of pop came together to maximize their joint slay on the BREAK MY SOUL (QUEENS MIX). Both albums are highly regarded as groundbreaking in the dance genre and were applauded for the seamless mixing and vision. In your objective opinion, which album has aged better?

An almost offensively mediocre album for the sole reason that it had everything going for it- narrative, vocal ability, musicality, inspiration- all let down by the stylistic choice of extremely bad songwriting, when this should have exceeded My December to become her true Butterfly/Ray of Light/The Velvet Rope moment. Her choice to dumb down the lyrics achieved the result it deserved.

She is a hypocrite for "loving" Luke and working with R Kelly, meanwhile she has a hate campaign against JLo for something JLo had no control over three decades ago

During Kesha's trial, texts from Gaga emerged wherein they both discussed Katy not being a girl's girl because she is a "mean girl". Taylor meanwhile had publicly warned the public about Katy's underhanded behaviors before generously making up with her after Witness tanked. Katy has been also been shown supporting right wing racists including Ben Shapiro, Nicki Minaj, and anti-abortion Republicans for election. However at the time ATRL vehemently attacked Gaga and Taylor for daring to speak their truths about Katy. Why was time the ultimate truth teller?

Having shared history with music managers in the 2000s, both Lana and Gaga later broke through the mainstream to massive commercial success after being signed to Interscope, with Gaga originally being much bigger Now in 2024, Lana has been nominated for AOTY, sold out Coachella and Fenway Pk and stadiums around the world, and Born to Die becoming once of the longest charting albums ever while GaGa is selling Nurtec Why did LaNa outlast GaGa?

Both songs have been going viral on TikTok and managed to chart on the BBH100. Dua's highly anticipated lead single has amassed 400m streams, while GaGa's sixth single from over a decade ago just surpassed 500m. Now that Dua's album has released, ATRL weighs in: is Houdini the more impactful and bigger song?

After experiencing massive career breakthroughs with their second eras, both legendary singer songwriters came back to the scene with self-written, emotional albums while wearing a dress. 15 years later: Which album is more impactful and has stood the test of time with regard to artistry as a statement after the massive commercial success?

Cowboy Carter has been released to high anticipation with her Jolene cover however many diehard Beyoncé fans have noticed her songwriting on Jolene misses the vision of the original Why do you think her verse is not being well received by the hive?

Coming off of two of the most streamed albums of all time back to back to back to back massive culture smashes Don’t start now-Levitating-Cold Heart-Dance the night, she had all the hype for her new era Now that it’s almost April it’s clear that neither Houdini nor Training Season are clicking Why? What should she do now? Is it over?

As a performing artist, has Beyoncé finally surpassed Mariah Carey in the legends tier of popular music? Beyoncé’s streak of 13 #1s spans well over 20 years, while Mariah’s 18 span less than 20 years. Of course, Mariah’s 19th is the holiday classic but it is not necessarily smashing on the strength of her alone (see: Brenda Lee Christmas #1), therefore TEXAS HOLD EM and AIWFCIY are not comparable in size and impact

Hiss and SHETHER are the two most recent diss tracks by women em cees that the general public has noted to target a certain controversial rapper. While Hiss never named names but SHETHER did, both songs were widely seen to have made a dent in that person’s public persona and legacy. Which record has had the bigger impact on a certain female rapper’s reputation?

Atrl has long decided that true MPGs should not rely on egregious discounts. For example, Born This Way was priced at 99c by Amazon, which was extremely controversial at the time. Anti was given away by Samsung. Now. Ahead of her album rollout, Ariana has presented her new single with 12 purchasable versions at 69c. Is this more controversial or is it capitalizing on success?

But her most recent musical output is still dedicated to them

In 2024 while comparing performance and streaming metrics of released music against her peers, Lady Gaga’s streams lag behind those of Rihanna, Taylor, Beyoncé, Adele, etc. despite having arguably a larger peak in pop culture. A strong gay fan base is loyal and can keep a career afloat beyond career peaks: Madonna and Janet embarked on retrospective tours to massive success, Kelly Clarkson has a successful Vegas tour, etc. But despite all that she has done for the gay community as a bisexual woman, it seems GaGa lost their support after she very publicly risked her career success with Born This Way by being flagrantly pro gay. Even Nicki Minaj has had a run of hits from SFG, Barbie, and now PF2, all sustained by her loyal gay fan base who generated free marketing and word of mouth via gag city for her despite her controversial associations with convicted predators. Yet GaGa seemed to lose momentum when comparing the performance of Chromatica to other records like Positions, Future Nostalgia. Why did the gays get off the GaGa train even though Gaga consistently dedicated her career to the LGBT?

Both lead singles off the seventh album by a whistling legend deals with infidelity. Which song is more successful with the cheating allegations?
