She was the most streamed female artist on Spotify yesterday, and the second most streamed artist overall (behind Bad Bunny). NUMBERS coming through!

Looking good for Vanish Into You and Garden of Eden. Hope either of them can debut in top ten - that'd be FOUR top ten hits from the album

Based on AM, I am thinking Drake/Tate McRae type of opening in streaming (18-20k).

Wonderful performance on AM so far for Gaga!

Whole album charting after 18 hours of availability - Mother really did THAT!

Not confirmed then lol

This is interesting because Gaga has always been blamed from hopping from genre to another and delivering albums that sounds like nothing that's out there and "popular" (ARTPOP, jazz, ASIB balladry) and when she reflects all eras and influences at once (except jazz lol) it's "same old"?

Decided to start the thread because the lyrics of Vanish Into You are just sublime imo: "Once in a blue moon, I forget you And once in your life, you'll be mine" What are your favourite lyrics on the album?
