Gaga gave him his biggest hit a saint

the Grammy winning smash duet takes it all

SXSW 2014 still haunts me...

what went right ?

When DWAS was released, Gaga literally said she was still finishing her album. There was no public tracklist showing DWAS absent. Andrew Watt (co-wrote and co-produced DWAS + produced MAYHEM) said it was always intended for her album but you know better right ? We know you've been seething over DWAS being a smash and ending up on MAYHEM for two years now, but guess what? It's still a Gaga song on a Gaga album. Now back to the actual topic : which collab feels more natural ? Gaga and Bruno, whose artistic chemistry produced one of the biggest hits ever, or Madonna and Sabrina, whose main thing in common is… being blonde? You tell us 🎤

who's gonna do the singing ?

Not "everyone knows" being your source 💀 Gaga said she was still finishing the album when DWAS came out + Andrew Watt literally made the song with her. You can think it sounds tacked on, none of this proves the collab felt unnatural anyway. Musical chemistry has nothing to do with whether a song was originally marketed as a standalone or not. The "she added it because Disease flopped" story is your fanfiction. Convince yourself indeed.

the 5 people living there are STANNING

when did she say that ? receipts please. what "FACTS" ?

"While you wait till LG7" means it was released while people waited for LG7. It does not mean "this song is legally prohibited from appearing on LG7" Gaga confirmed it was part of the album and Andrew Watt said it was intended for MAYHEM You keep turning your personal interpretation into "literal history" then accusing everyone else of rewriting it The desperation is in needing every absence of information to validate your fanfiction

You've now conceded that the 60B figure was meaningless, so let's stop pretending I "missed the point", I understood it, I just rejected the fake precision. And no, the "relevant comparison"does not magically become 1998 Madonna whenever 2026 Madonna is being compared to Gaga. That is simply moving from the album she actually released to the strongest album in her catalogue because the present-day comparison is less flattering

Calling it a standalone single at release doesn't prove it was later "stuck on the album out of desperation". That's your theory, not reality. MAYHEM tracklist included it from the start, and Gaga called it the album's missing piece. It clearly wasn't a "finished song" sitting in Bruno's drawer, since Gaga co-wrote, co-produced and helped shape the final arrangement and recording. At this point, you're not discussing reality. You're writing alternate history because the real one annoys you

You applied US chart formulas to estimated worldwide sales, mixed up Billboard and RIAA ratios, then presented the result as streams ROL "would have achieved"... It wouldn't. Madonna's real achievements are impressive enough. Inventing a fictional 60B stream album for her only makes you look insecure about the music she is releasing now.

So the defence of Confessions II is now a hypothetical 1998 Madonna because the actual 2026 Madonna can't compete with Mayhem. Got it.

it's okay to be wrong

You're telling me to get my facts straight while claiming Bruno is signed to Interscope. He's signed to Atlantic And none of this changes my original point about the collaboration feeling organic. Gaga and Bruno wrote, produced, played and recorded together in the studio, and the musical chemistry is obvious

DWAS is a Gaga song, on a Gaga album, released through her label, with the video uploaded to her channel. You've been spiralling over this for two years, and reality still hasn't changed It became a global smash because Gaga and Bruno have genuine artistic chemistry. Madonna chased the current It girl for a hit and still flopped. That's the difference

Exactly. There aren't any, which is why she had to shop in the youth department for streams. The whole strategy was obviously to leech off a younger streaming giant to tap into her audience... and failed 💀

Spotify Day 11 MAYHEM (without Bruno) : 14M CONFESSIONS II (with Sabrina) : 4M

Top 5 for sure

DWAS felt organic because Gaga and Bruno actually have musical chemistry. The song genuinely sounds like something both of them would make. Madonna and Sabrina felt like a desperate attempt to latch onto a younger streaming giant and borrow some relevance. One collaboration became a global smash hit, while the other flopped hard despite the obvious strategy

Yes

because she's better
