Oh HitGa

Sadly the weather forecast for London seems good for next week so no songs will decline in streams.

Great that you had fantastic time!

I guess we are spoiled that we have seen most of the show properly streamed already so the surprise factor isn't there any more, but it happens with all tours these days to some extent. It's also good that one can revisit the show later.

When Ed Sheeran walks into a pub and starts singing Azizam vs. What Was That mashup then what?

Blade of Grass has been added to the setlist as expected.

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.

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!

The Mexico City stage seems similar to Coachella's.
