What a time to be alive :cheeseblock: :snif:

SO SO IMPRESSIVE.

 

Think it'll remain no.1 next week?

Much better debut for Alice than I was expecting! It’s already out peaking some of her singles!

No surprise she’s #1 of course, outselling the rest of the top 10 is huge

This is doing SO BLOODY WELL and I am so here for Gaga being huge again.

It's so deserved for this album too. What a return, I really still can't quite believe it. I mean i've always loved her music and the projects she has done between BTW and now but I didn't quite believe the public would be here for her in such a big way again. She proved me wrong!!!

can’t believe we’ve added a new #1 single and a new #1 album to her list in the space of a week

so fantastic - the support she's receiving is such a joy to see + i really hope the goodwill sticks around :wub:

I really think this album was a case of absolutely perfect timing release wise and just everything about it seems so genius.

 

Rain On Me being the second single, the album being delayed, her hosting of the benefit concert... She’s been on a real roll tbh with turning around public opinion since the Super Bowl id say but ASIB just took it to a whole new level and now look at her.

 

Fastest selling album of the year :heart:

 

First female from the 00s as well to get a #1 album in the new decade too. Queen of topping BOTH charts across three decades whilst still being just 34 years old. An icon :heart:

 

 

She is such a grafter and believes so passionately in her work. When she said she would be making music until she's old and on her death bed, she really meant it. :wub:

So proud of her.

 

Fastest selling album of 2020 so far and overall her 5th #1 album if you include ASIB soundtrack

 

Rain on Me was so far ahead of #3 it's a shame Gaga didn't do the chart double. Especially as the Rockstar track has already been #1

BBC article on the album's success:

 

Lady Gaga's Chromatica is the fastest-selling album of 2020

 

 

Lady Gaga's new album, Chromatica, has entered the UK charts at number one, after outselling the rest of the top 10 combined.

 

The record, which sees Gaga return to the rocket-powered pop of her debut, sold 53,000 copies, the biggest opening week of the year so far.

 

It is also the star's fastest-selling album since 2013's Artpop.

 

The album follows Gaga's performance in A Star Is Born, for which she won an Oscar for best song in 2019.

 

Critics have called the record a return to form, after the country-leaning acoustics of her fifth album Joanne and the misfiring experiments of her Artpop project.

 

"Song for song, it's her best yet," wrote Variety magazine, adding: "She sounds like she knows exactly who she is, what she wants to say and how she wants to say it."

 

"Her pop renaissance couldn't come at a better time," agreed Rolling Stone, while The Independent praised the star's "anthems of self-doubt, self-reflection, self-destruction and self-reclamation".

 

Gaga, who has suffered with chronic illness and depression, said the record was intended to be an antidote to hard times.

 

"I'm making a dance record again and this dance floor… it's mine, I earned it, and all that stuff that I went through," she told Zane Lowe in a recent interview.

 

"The beginning of the album really symbolises, for me, what I would call the beginning of my journey to healing," she added, "and what I would hope would be an inspiration for people that are in need of healing through happiness, through dance."

 

According to the Official Charts Company, Chromatica was the week's most popular album in every format - physical, streaming and downloads - as well as the year's fastest-seller on vinyl, with 8,500 copies sold.

 

Three of the tracks also made it into the singles chart, led by the Ariana Grande duet Rain On Me at number two.

 

Sour Candy, a collaboration with K-pop band Blackpink, debuted at 17; while Alice, inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland, was at 29.

 

Gaga is also expected to top the US Billboard charts next week, with projected sales of 250,000.

And to think I was worried after Rona took over the world after Stupid Love and we had the album postponement and fans melting down over the lack of news...everything turned out just fine :heart:

Officially Gaga's 6th #1 in the US :clap: Highest numbers since Born This Way. This album is truly smashing it and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.
