the likes thank you!

It's vintage and post-ironic in a way

maybe not in Q1, but I don't think 2027 is out of the question

it's time to @GAGAISTHEBESTYA drop another made-up insider rumor to keep us entertained

october 2026: Gagaween, the hype begins! january 2027: lead single (it's going to be our flowers) march: second single (ft. the weeknd) + album release

If it stays in the top 20, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think the lead single won't manage to stay above that for a month

She bought a house in Marin County last year, according to reports from the SF area

I decided to believe that this is the case

Do you think she's aware when a song flops? Like, does she know that Runway fumbled? I wonder if she and her team actually expected anything from it. Also, I'm pretty sure her team lurks on forums like GGD or even here. Hi Bobby.

The photoshoot might even have better shots, but the one that looks the most like an actual official cover is definitely the official one

she look crazy as hell

I didn't remember that change to the formula, so I think it's fair to assume the next album could do at least 80–85k in streaming units. And I agree that physicals are probably the biggest opportunity. Mayhem sold well, but not enough to have a truly surprising opening, partly because its aesthetic wasn't as marketable. If the next album has a strong visual identity, good physical variants, and a couple of months of pre-orders, I could definitely see her surprising on the physicals side

I expect it to do better in pure sales but noticeably worse in streaming. We probably won't have a DWAS-level streaming boost next time, so I'd put it at around 150-160k pure sales and 60-65k streams. For comparison, Mayhem did 136k pure sales and 80k streams.

I hope LG8 has a pre-order period of at least two months so she can rack up as many pure sales as possible and debut with over 300k

I think 2026 will be a quiet year for us, but 2027 needs to have something, even if it's just a single
