I’m all for Gaga releasing commercial smashes, but sonically from what I heard I know I’ll be loving Abracadabra and I’m only expressing my early adoration for it. Do I want Gaga to release a more softer ‘dark’ pop song like Garden of Eden or Zombieboy? Absolutely. Do I also think Gaga have a horrible habit of picking wrong single choices in the past? Absolutely as well. I’m beyond the point of even reasoning with what she chooses as a single as I know she ends up picking what she likes best and not necessary what’s most commercial for her (I spent far too many years scratching my head as to why she didn’t release the likes of Dance in the Dark, Gypsy etc as singles). She never listens to the fans (as evident with the whole ‘Government Hooker’ scenario as specified in her recent interview), I’ve just become to accustomed to her habits. I’m at the point where I’m happy if she releases anything as a single and perform it live given how little she likes to do televised performances. Anything for me is a bonus these days!

Zombieboy sounds more commercially driven, but Abracadabra sounds what her fanbase want from her. I’m ecstatic about Abracadabra, but I’m also conscious that (from the small snippet of it), it won’t be a commercial hit for her. Could it be she’s still using DWAS as her main commercial platform, and waiting for it to die down (if it ever will) before unleashing Single #4 for the mass public to buy into again?

Die with a Smile please, the rest is a bonus.

Yep I think it’s Abracadabra as well: @1884881055364313237

Very close between Gaga and Bad Bunny (100k each day between the two songs). Do think the Grammys will help give DWAS some publicity, we just need 12 more days to break the record!!!

We now have the Elle UK interview!! TNPXaJlwu-Q

109 days at #1 now!! (Typo in the tweet) @1884614960506097945

We really are getting spoilt this time round with the amount of variants :cry: EDIT: She’s added 2 more variants :drama: Amazon exclusive: Target exclusive:

I like how ALL of the cover arts are so much better than the standard cover itself… :D

I’d rank Shallow as below Poker Face and Bad Romance in terms of Gaga’s biggest hits. As big Shallow was, Bad Romance and Poker Face was inescapable. Whether you were shopping in shops, or out at bars and clubs, or driving your kids to school in the car and opened the radio it was simply played to death on repeat. Even my relatives in China said Bad Romance and Poker Face became incredibly ‘annoying’ due to the overplay of it and everyone repeating the hooks of the said songs. :lol:

I’m getting strong pop album vibes from this one. I wasn’t sold on Chromatica (it’s really good but there are some dull moments), but I get Born This Way/The Fame Monster 2.0 vibes from Mayhem which for me is life changing! (Please be right)

Bye to the two Jazz ones, followed by Hold My Hand. Then it’s a bloodbath!

SCREAMING at her throwing shade to ‘Government Hooker’, one of the best tracks of BTW and one of the fan favourites. #Justice4GovernmentHooker

I think it’s Zombieboy, as it’s highly speculated the lyrics in the song contain Zombie-something from the Disease music video clip.

Full Elle interview here:

I ordered but if signed pops up I’ll order that (again). I’ve waited and waited and still there’s nothing…

I want: 1) Song out on Friday. 2) Performance of it live in the Grammys on Sunday. 3) Video premiered during commercial break in Grammys. 4) Die with a Smile performed with Bruno also in the Grammys. 5) Die with a Smile wins both nominated Grammy awards. :D (I’m really not asking for much here)

The UK store really are getting drips and drabs….im still waiting for a signed copy of my CD to pre-order :(

I sincerely hope so, or if she releases like a once off audio or something of it and premiere it ALONGSIDE a live performance on the Grammys like she did with Born This Way. Now that would make maximum impact :D

I couldn’t get the signed copies :( ON THE BRIGHT SIDE… :o @1883909720211423491

I know we are far from caring about chart positions, but she’s setting herself up to fail here by releasing it on a Sunday :(

Just pre-ordered the store alternative cover CD. It has an extra track on it so intrigued what it is :o
