Monster has been hinted at by one of her dancers!

A hard vote for Abra here!!

I’m ready to be completely in awe in a day or so when all is revealed! I really think there’s some gags in store and that with the arena setting there’ll definitely be alterations to what we’ve seen already. Something tells me this is going to be a more theatrical piece..! Setlist wise I’m thinking the order may be shuffled around and the story could be told in a different way but again there could be cuts and different sections added (and perhaps new music at some stage too). So much to look forward too!

Currently not top 100 in the UK midweeks again at this stage! Need the resurgence to happen promptly 😆

I think one of Thumbs or On purpose was mine but it was through Taylor I began to play closer attention to her on the whole! I remember having a feeling she was going to get a real breakthrough from that point but didn’t expect it to be quite as huge as what she’s achieved from Espresso onwards!

By Keshas standards #43 is quite good but it would’ve been great to see it hang on!

MAYHEM has (for now….) left the UK Top 100 albums!! Hope we can get it back inside there soon. (Anyone know where the album was and if it was close to entering…) The album was #57 on sales which was actually up from last week.

Here for a tour boost although I’m not sure the UK will see this until the show is over here! Hoping it can somehow still manage a few weeks top 100 again prior to that over on our charts though if there’s Tik Toks of the tour that could definitely help out and I think she may be more active on socials etc too but the albums just too good to vacate the charts now!

I’m intrigued at this and have no idea whatsoever on what to expect here either. He’s very hit and miss yet he kinda really gets it right when he does get it right (yet on the other hand when he gets it wrong…) Props to him for opting for a surprise drop though!

Being a Little Monster is honestly a case of having everything thrown at once and having complete in the best way whiplash of constant exposure and treats to potentially needing to file a missing person report for mother! I do think Zombieboy is still involved in some way with Wednesday and there’s potential for a video there (or at the least it’s in the show) but yeah maybe Dead Dance is real! Unsure if it’s standalone or part of a deluxe but perhaps we are about to get something!! Would she be premiering this in time for the first show do we think...

The vast majority of this album is amongst the worst things she’s ever officially released but WONDER is honestly such a great track! Possibly the one track for me this era what shows that she can still put together a great track - that’s the kind of direction I’d hope for going forward.

Global Ga!! To be on par with Taylor as well just shows how successful our girl really is on a global scale! It’s a hard market to crack for sure but she’s maintained a very dedicated fanbase there (and across Asia as a whole tbf!).

Is DEAD DANCE potentially coming! ☠️💃

I've now gotten tickets (solo gig for me!!) for Manchester on the 19th (anyone else here attending that show!) Really excited to see her though! I adored HIT ME HARD AND SOFT it's still my album of 2024 (and one of my albums of the decade in general..) Hoping to see a good boost too (I think her whole discography may well see a boost now tour has kicked off!) I think there's some Vinyl too what's shipping in the coming weeks for this too so maybe that could perhaps boost it top 10 again.

I'd take any new music from her at this stage! 10 years now isn't it with no new album! Would be happy to see her attempt at getting another Christmas hit though; definitely has the voice for it and chart wise it could at least see her get a mid sized Christmas hit that could grow each year and further boost One More Sleep! Honestly I could go on forever about how mismanaged Leona has been and how even I could've done a better job at handling her Post Spirit career but i'm here for her return!

Time flies doesn't it!! Mixed feelings here Sunday chart day meant every Sunday without fail i'd be listening to the chart (at the time too I wasn't active on here or on chart forums so didn't as closely follow midweeks) so often the chart then was in some ways a surprise! Also back then when sales itself dominated there was potential for change from the final set of mids to chart day! Although held back releases were frustrating (I seen Gaga mentioned earlier and besides Just Dance over here I don't think anything else was ever held back.. and she had several midweek releases where higher peaks could've been achieved!!). The positive of Friday chart day is obviously no held back releases and the excitement of New Music Fridays but the charts can feel stagnant and I don't get the chance to listen live as much although I do check this site each week and then go straight to the OCC one for 5:45😆. I think these days because I'm on here a lot and also know of the midweeks and check those too there's less surprises when I do hear the chart but I do still try and hear it when I can it can just be tricky with work i'm either commuting home to the office or have duties with my nephews at the time it's on to hear live! I've noticed however that there's less charity #1s in this era (I mean we had Christmas LadBaby..) and obviously reality TV acts from talent shows rarely ever chart now unless they're an established act like say Harry Styles for instance; much harder in streaming world for an X Factor like show to produce an act in this chart era as it was the sales era! And i'd say the media also impacts the charts much less in the sales era we'd see TV performances could really make a difference to a songs success but these days it's all to do with streaming playlisting.

Here’s hoping she can attend! Also very unlikely I know but a BRITs performance would honestly (still) be a dream for me! I can’t quite believe she’s never attended in person since 2010!!

Will Gaga be attending the Grammys next year?! It may be a squeeze for her to be there in person as there’s dates in Asia for the MAYHEM Ball at the time of the ceremony isn’t there?! I’d love her to win in a main category but as of yet I don’t know! Kendrick feels more likely for album of the year but I can see MAYHEM winning the pop category and Abracadara also scoring a win in the dance category perhaps? (although I’d love it to win music video).

Bobbys obviously a better person than Troy don’t get me wrong BUT in the days where Troy managed her to get long standing campaigns and hits you had to work your a*** off. Streaming wasn’t dominating and radio deals, tv promo on chat shows or award shows, music videos all played a part in ensuring success. He managed to do these for her and she more than put the work in too to the point where it damaged her health. These days with streaming Gaga herself doesn’t necessarily need a high budget video, or a grand performance of a mayhem track all it really needs is a streaming push (and I’m guessing that’s more Bobbys lane / duty right). I can see why there might be a delay because of Abracadabra and Die With A Smiles continued longevity but for something to actively take off its streaming deals / promo or a viral Tik Tok what will be the decider nothing that Gaga herself actually needs to work too hard to do. I’m still gonna have hope we have more to come though because there’s just so much potential there to be explored!

The insider who incorrectly said June was the month for the next single is hinting at Zombieboy and Garden of Eden getting music videos… I really want to believe something could be coming for the tour premiering but I just don’t know. I’m here for Zombie boy getting used in Wednesday and hopefully doing something off the back of that though. Bobby is honestly so frustrating as a manager at times though 🫠

UK mids are out and it’s currently outside the top 100 for the first time at this stage. Some weeks however it climbed from the Monday position to the final Friday chart so it could enter but as of yet there’s no clue as to where it is exactly at the moment (hopefully it is just outside and does manage another week).

Ooooh!!! Setlist leak imcoming iirc the Chromatica Ball Setlist got out just before the first show didn’t it!

I went for Forever here. A girlband with a studio albums 100% #1 record is more impressive than giving Stop a #1 especially as Stop is already more fondly remembered than a good portion of their #1s anyways! Edit: So I do kinda also wanna huge VB her flowers here and have all of them achieve at least one solo number one single but again I actually think to the GP that Out of Your Mind is more memorable and recognisable to the GP than what Mel Bs #1 is (and some of Geris too).

That’s actually a good point there Haus when you put it like that! ARTPOP era is soon to turn 12 and back then if we knew what position she’d be in now we might not have believed it! I still have hope there’s more to come from the era besides the tour too but she’s definitely working on giving us the show of our lives at the moment.

Good rise from the midweeks! The Fames such a chart staple now isn’t it. I think I can kinda see it returning to the top 40 again when the UK tour kicks off. I do wish MAYHEM would overtake it though as much as it is joyful always seeing this album charting week on week!
