MASSIVE update yesterday on Spotify, heavily benefiting from several NYE playlists!!!

It baffles me why for an artist like her, she’s so reluctant to go by a strategic singles release schedule since….’Born This way’. It’s almost like her record label are begging her to release singles after, but she’s the one who always chooses and decides not to (which is an even stranger thought). That and the fact her mind always chops and changes all the time….sometimes I just can’t keep up. I really wish they released ‘Garden of Eden’, ‘How Bad Do U Want Me’ and ‘Vanish Into You’ as singles. All would’ve fared moderately for her and keep the momentum of ‘Mayhem’ going all year round, even without the concerts, but I guess we will never know what is brewing on her mind..

I echo the statement above, I want Gaga to MILK as much material out officially before she goes for a long family hiatus.

2024 just seemed to be a year where there were hits upon hits, and hits which stood the test of time and are still lingering on today’s music charts. Beautiful Things, Espresso, Birds Of A Feather, Die With A Smile, APT., Lose Control are just some of the songs released in 2024. In comparison 2023 and 2025 seemed quite subpar in the pop world when pitted against 2024.

APT is a MASSIVE hit, which competed with Die With A Smile during its Spotify peak era. It was the only song which stood up against DWAS. I think people under estimate ASIA, which APT was HUGE (and in the west, it was a mega monster hit as well). You look at the certifications and the evidence is there, so yes, the list I do believe is quite accurate (although I agree with streaming, the recent songs overall may be inflated compared to physical singles chart era).

One of, if not THE biggest selling song ever. Not sure if it’s been posted but on the United World Charts 3 weeks ago, it dethroned Elton John after his 28 year old record, becoming the global site’s highest sold record ever! A true MEGAHIT!

This song got 23 plays this Xmas for me, the second most played Xmas song after MC . Past 7 days:

I’m watching it now whilst having my dinner and forcing everyone to endure Gaga whilst eating .

She looks absolutely STUNNING!! ❤️❤️

I am yet to be tired of ‘Mayhem’. I was convinced she will never topple the masterpiece known as ‘The Fame/Monster’ era but ‘Mayhem’ remains firm as my most favourite album of all time. I really hope LG7.5/LG8 remain the same and consistent, because right now I have never stanned for her so hard since she initially debuted.

Australian Little Monsters have waited and waited for her, they deserve every single bit of love there and I’m glad Gaga is giving them what they deserve!

The Weeknd posted a picture of Gaga on his social media and rumours are flying around of a collaboration…

For a FOURTH time (and first since Born This Way!), she’s the star cover of Rolling Stones and my god, what an editorial!!! https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/lady-gaga-mayhem-tour-grammys-cover-story-interview-1235460150/

I’m so nervous as I’m holding out on seeing Gaga on her second European leg as I failed to get tickets to her first. @Jordanlee1402 That might not be the case as after Australia and Japan (and after her annual leave ) she’s back to the US in arenas again.

As you can see from mine, ‘Mayhem’ narrowly edges out ‘The Fame Monster’ as Gaga’s best studio album, and ‘Joanne’ remains an abomination amongst her work .
