From memory does any Gaga stans out there have a period of when Gaga announced her albums to when they were released / the gap between them? If this is coming in February would this be her quickest? I know off the top of my head when Born This Way and ARTPOP were announced. Chromatica was pushed back slightly initially too right I’m sure that was initially meant to drop in April of 2020.

Carol Decker actually played in my hometown of South Shields as part of the free shows in the summer and I have to admit her voice did sound like Tattoos! The one I’m most sure of is Harry Hill being the kingfisher although I can kinda see Snail being Andrea Corr and potentially being one to watch as well! Here’s hoping there’s some strong singers on there although the ones who actually are singers tend to become stronger as the series gets going!

It is indeed the 20th anniversary of the debut album so that would be good if that was marked in some way! I think her fanbase will definitely mark it during the week of its original release. Here’s hoping she marks it though!

As we enter a whole new year and a whole soon to be 9 years since a studio album what do we think lies ahead for us Rihanna fans this year. Are we anticipating any form of new music? Are we expecting more rises - strong streaming figures? Will her business ventures continue to grow?! Thoughts and predictions all welcome! Thread created just for fun / discussion on the forum!

Re-enters the UK album chart at #66. 255 weeks on the top 100 now!

Welcome back The Fame! Hoping for another strong 2025 especially with LG7 dropping and some big promo slots. Would be so nice to see this return to the top 40 again but I do think we could get more weeks top 75 this year with the added publicity she’ll get this year which will help her back catalogue out.

#70 for the end of year charts in 2024 on the UK albums chart! UP on last years position too!

Official charts albums have now updated and showed the year end charts for 2024. The Fame was #66 for year end!

Becoming Madonna a Sky documentary is now available to watch in the UK! Genuinely a really good watch and and a story of the early days / rise to how she become the icon she is. It covers the early days of her career up until Erotica era! Would be interesting to see another version from 1992 up till present day!

I gave the deluxe tracks a listen today and really enjoyed them! A nice cohesive listen for sure. I did kinda see what people meant on that feeling like the follow up to CTRL though.

Stupid question here possibly but is this a whole new album for chart purposes or is it SOS deluxe? So SOS will just hugely climb when the full thing drops. Here for the new music though :lol:

Interesting! It may actually prove smart from a streaming perspective but I get the feeling it may just be sort of “add on” to the album and it might not be representative of the albums overall theme etc (when it was teased it was a while you wait for LG7). Hoping we get news on the Disease follow up soon though. Could we be in for a NYE/NYD post do we think for the next single / Album release confirmation.

Could we get this to 100m by new year?! I still hope there’s some lease of life and it can get a rebound come January. Gaga actually feels invested in it and I think once DWAS hopefully (finally) gets the US #1 we may get more focus on this and the LG7 era will be prime focus. It’s genuinely so solid so it deserves more!

Gahhh would love this to somehow chart but maybes next year we can get the campaign going early?!

Hopefully a top ten return to the UK come Christmas clear out and the US number one finally confirmed?!

Kellie Bright is genuinely outstanding playing this side of Linda. I know the story has had its fair share of critique but it’s unfortunately very real to some people out there who know people like Linda. I also feel like it’s been played realistically too. But I think Kellie is outstanding definitely worthy of soap awards / NTAs she’s so captivating and you feel real sympathy and at times anger / frustration towards her too but what an actress. I really really hope we aren’t heading for a Linda death (surely not?!).

Part of me wishes this was given a stand alone release separate from Harlequins project. It’s too good to remain a hidden gem! Really hope LG7 has something along in the vein of this on it too! Gorgeous.

Yours Truly just about did it when that ten year edition (although that felt more promoted in a sense and wasn’t in festive season) but then again I think this sells more on a weekly haus than any of her other albums right (bar eternal sunshine. Hoping it can do it. It was last top 100 in 2019 (although it must’ve spent many weeks top 200?!)

Hoping this can re-enter the UK top 100 again come Friday #56 in the midweeks.

Need this release date so badly!! :wub:

I’ve been voting for Oti since the save your favourite vote opened as I really felt she was gonna be an undeserved early exit but she’s getting quite a bit of screen time and seems popular so hoping she can surprise and make top 5. This has been my favourite series in a while though and a rare series of a cast being generally likeable as a whole. Danny definitely feels like an obvious winner and did from day one but I kinda want more from him in a sense. Dean being the serial trialist then second boot felt like a shock to him though. I think he thought he was giving something that sadly he wasn’t although some of the comments directed at him are on the extreme side. I think it’s potentially Melvin for next boot but I can kinda see Tulisa leaving us early on which again feels undeserved! I don’t know if it’s just me but I think this is one of the best series in terms of airtime usually with this show you can sense the top 4/5 because they’re the only people you see but I don’t think anyone this series has necessarily faded into the background (if anything Dean probably had more airtime than anyone else and he come last out of 11 in a save vote :lol:

Deserves so much more but nice to see a new certification. I think it’s amongst her most iconic and I remember beginning to really follow the charts around the time this was released so it’s amongst my earliest memories of stanning a pop song :wub:

Hoping Gaga can have a big album / single in 2025! I’m not sure what to expect but do perhaps see the album doing about as well as what Chromatica did at least. Definitely feel like Harry will smash though when he releases and potentially see him getting biggest album of next year. Can see Sam Fender also smashing too. Hope to also see Miley smash next year! Of those I’d not want to release I went for Lewis and Ed but think we may get something from Ed possibly. Also as much as I love her I hope we don’t get TS12 next year but I’d be here for both releases of Taylor Swift and Reputation Taylor’s Version. Of course as well I’d absolutely love Rihanna to release and a new album from Adele but yeah unsure on that and at present would say Rihanna’s actually more likely if anything as I think Adele’s break will be until around late 2027 at the earliest.

Pretty awful news here (i'll spoiler tag it for those who don't want to know but the news is now out there)

Fully deserved I’d say! Her impact is undeniable and of the 21st century I believe she’s the act with the most US number ones and UK too across females. There’s not many acts who have her legacy and her amount of hits with almost 9 years now and no album!
