Oricon

You know there is another release, which I nearly forgot that she hasn’t released (and is more than enough qualified to issue one) and that is a greatest hits album. That and a full live album of Mayhem would be greatly appreciated.

That’s not what I meant. I meant that most fans see their faves posting on social media, usually alluding to some sort of event or promo but in Gaga’s case it could usually (and most likely) mean nothing .

WFH is seriously considered by some as one of the worst girl group hits ever???

The answer is probably nothing, because it is Gaga afterall !

It is official, although apparently no new material is being performed but it is a ‘phones free’ venue. She will perform all the tracks of ‘Mayhem’, similar to the ‘Harlequin’ event released on Christmas Day. Strange to say the least, considering the Grammy voting period is closed so unless she’s cooking something behind the scene that we aren’t aware of and building hype for something else..

What Sour Candy said, also because their streams are incredibly similar at the 3.2-3.3billion mark and are fighting for the top female streamed song. Another reason is due to how consistently both perform so fans have pitched the two songs against one another on Spotify.

The song is massively pulling away from BOAF now, with the gap being 670K streams!!

Another 450k lead for DWAS against BOAF, I’m not complaining at Bruno releasing his album as it’s benefiting DWAS!

Yes exactly, and they’re always tossing and turning up to the point where the gap isn’t getting any bigger or smaller.

I desperately NEEEEEDD this song to overtake ‘Birds of a Feather’ in the long run.

Isn’t that a huge debut for Bruno, given it didn’t even have 24 hours on the radio as it didn’t premiere on the dot at midnight?

I really hope and wish Gaga would win one of the 3 major categories (ideally all 3), but for some reason I get a feeling she might go home with none of them…

I am rather loving this on first listen.

+20 Lady Gaga - Abracadabra +19 BLACKPINK - JUMP +18 Sabrina Carpenter - Tears +17 Tate McRae - Sports car +16 Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild +15 JADE - FUFN (F**k You For Now) +14 Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia +13 JADE - Plastic Box +12 Benson Boone - Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else +11 Ed Sheeran - Azizam +10 Sabrina Carpenter - Busy Woman +9 Chappell Roan - The Subway +8 Tate McRae - NOBODY'S GIRL +7 JADE - Church +6 Addison Rae - Fame Is A Gun +5 Addison Rae - Headphones On +4 Girls Aloud - Singapore (Definitive Version) +3 Perrie - If He Wanted to He Would +2 Robyn - Dopamine +1 Lily Allen - Madeline

Contrary to what the internet and people think of the song, I actually love it. It’s so bad that it’s so good and the whole “EAT ZUCCHINI” just sticks in your head oops.

SMASH with a SMILE!!! ❤️❤️

I agree upcoming next generation pop artists have to do that, to sustain momentum. My question has always been, why does Gaga NOT meet in the middle and do a strategic singles release since ‘Born This Way’. I’m not asking her to do a Sabrina and be that aggressive, the way she was with ‘The Fame (Monster’), but something a litttttllllle bit more than what we got would’ve been nice, considering how strong ‘Mayhem’ is. Like does releasing radio singles be that offensive to her, or her record’s eyes? I should’ve been in that ‘Mayhem’ little monster conference and asked her this question, and see what answer she cooks up with . (I’m a bit annoyed we got nothing between ‘Abracadabra’ and ‘The Dead Dance’, can you tell ).

The thing about what Adelita said, isn’t exactly false. Sabrina and Tate have both been aggressively releasing music to ensure they remain relevant on the pop scene, in an industry where you could be the biggest thing one day and in a blink be irrelevant the next. Gaga should’ve released a single (or actually two) in between during the ‘Mayhem’ campaign, even a radio single or something which won’t even need much effort from her in person.

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:
