We need some people on Xfactor to sing Bad Romance. I would love Bad Romance to be a million seller!

Yes, or 59p on iTunes. Anything to boost sales! Although, even if there isn't any promotion, it should reach 1 million hopefully sometime next year, as it's always hanging around in the bottom Top 200! :D

Five years ago yesterday (November 18), Lady Gaga tore our clothes right off, ate our hearts and then proceeded to eat our brains. Does it feel like only yesterday? Or, in the current age of Cheek To Cheek, does it feel more like decades ago? Perhaps somewhere in between.

 

While The Fame had already propelled Gaga to pop stardom a year prior thanks to her inescapable, syllable-happy electro-pop earworms like “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” (muh-muh-muh-mah!), it was The Fame Monster that saw Gaga effectively take over the world.

By the time her Fame re-release arrived in November of 2009, Gaga had her monster paws securely gripped around pop culture: She was the biggest pop superstar at the time, armed with a newly minted fan base (the Little Monsters were born), over-the-top ensembles that had the world ga-gagging (from her sensible Kermit The Frog carcass top to those perilously impractical sky-high stilettos to that infamous Meat Dress…hey Cher, hold my meat purse!), undeniably next-level music videos, unforgettable award show performances and, oh right, yes: The year’s best pop record in hand.

 

The start-to-finish immaculate 8-track EP, produced by RedOne, Fernando Garibay, Ron Fair, Darkchild and Teddy Riley, was said to represent Gaga’s 8 different “monsters” she encountered on the road (“Fear Of Loneliness Monster,” for example). And throughout, the disco stick-wielding pop princess navigated chilly synth-pop pulsations and dark lyrical themes (oh so many Hitchcock film references!) with a pristine, pop radio-friendly gloss to tackle those fears: From “Bad Romance,” one of the greatest pop records of the past decade, to a club-thumping mini-epic with Yoncé, to the campy, gothic glamour of “Dance In The Dark.” Simply put, Halloween has never sounded the same ever since. Five years later, we’re now looking back and rattling the Fame Monster’s cage once again. Do you dare?

How would you rank / rate 'The Fame Monster' five years later?

Best album ever.

It's.... There are no words to describe it. Schmooblydong? That's not it, but its close. Let me try and put in terms that can be understood. Imagine being high at a Michael Jackson concert while two guys take you on in a sun baked porta potty.

Easily produced two of her best singles! :wub:

So amazing. By far her best consistent collection in terms of how strong the songs are. All 8 songs could've been singles tbh.

I want to say it's a masterpiece, but the truth is I rarely revisit its glory, so it's aged pretty bad. I wish I could erase it from my memory and rediscover it all over again.

I had a long journey for an interview today so I listened to this in full.

 

The UK 24 track edition.

 

Flawless :wub:

 

Especially disc one what’s just the eight re release tracks. All killer no filler.

Looking at some of the initial comments on this too is so funny.

Especially looking at reactions to the album cover!

People saying her impact in her debut was like nothing they’ve ever seen before (which tbf I thought at the time)

And the reactions to it entering at #7 too in re release week (the week of the re release)

the good ol days :wub:

Omg at the reactions to the cover (pages 6 and 7)! It's a stunning WORK OF ART. What were people smoking!?

I was laughing at comments saying we need an X Factor performance too :lol:

 

We actually got one tbf too! Is that what got Bad Romance the UK #1? I remember the performance with her being in the bath.

 

Those comments though reminded me of the days when the guest artist on X Factor would likely be #1 on the singles chart the following week or if not the singles chart then the albums one.

 

It would take some performance now for the same thing to happen again unless the song was already #1 before the performance :P

Bad Romance had two stints at #1 I believe! Can't remember if its first one was due to XF or the second.

The second was due to gift card effect and Joe/Rage slipping.
