Sour Candy

After 1 listen, this strikes as an "interesting" album more than "brilliant" album but sometimes the interesting ones stand test of time better. Need to listen more.

Friday is always slower day for DWAS than other big hits for some reason. Saturday and Sunday are better.

The AI critique is a bit interesting, considering she starts with a song called Artificial... but people (mis)understand it as hollowness because that what she's been serving recently.

Spotify this Friday #1. (=) Die With A Smile [+5,900,681] 188 DAYS AT #1 #18. (+1) Abracadabra [+3,021,400] #81. (+2) Poker Face [+1,713,063] #142. (-11) Judas [+1,380,041] #154. (-9) Just Dance [+1,352,909] #192. (-1) Bad Romance [+1,244,288]

Edited the title so we can discuss the Mexico City, Rio and Singapore concerts here.

The first Mexico City concert takes place today! And I guess the show will be the same in Rio too.

Hmmm it's either Telephone or ARUTW... need to think

Still #10 and the highest charting international album in Finland.

UK Singles Chart 62 64 07 Garden Of Eden, Lady Gaga (Peak: 23) Another RISE! Wonder when 'How Bad' will replace this though. It's doing better on AM at least.

Up to #36 in the UK!

Lana and Lorde fans are fighting on X now - sad times.

Brilliant for Lorde! Hope it carries on for this chart week because Thursday streams are basically useless for singles chart.

To celebrate the release of MAYHEM, the 7th studio album from Lady Gaga, we are going right back through her career and are now going to decide our favourite SINGLE #2 from each era! Simply vote for your least favourite song and let's see what we crown our favourite! Out next is Do What U Want Do What U Want Million Reasons Love For Sale I Can't Give You Anything But Love

The Mexico City stage seems similar to Coachella's.

Any more votes?

I am expecting an easy top 40 debut, it is a comeback single after all, not just a loosie a la Lana Del Rey. But we'll see.

Would've been so on-brand to keep it but happy she did not.

There is a middle ground you know... Anyway, there should be some hype around the new single because Ribs had its best day on Spotify to date (862k).

Lorde not yet appearing on AM... I smell an underperformance. Shame because the song is decent
