The Giver was (for me at least) far far better on initial listens (but more suited to my taste) only comparasion I see is they're both standalone releases following a string of smashes. I can see this going to #1 at least for one week though. I did enjoy this but may like it more on repeated listens. Here for a new #1 though and Sabrinas definitely got the star power at the moment to do that!

I’m gonna say #1 debut here! I think it depends on the song on the longevity but she’s unstoppable at the moment and can do no wrong and she’s putting something out whilst the irons very much still hot! Gonna predict around 70k to give her an easy #1 debut!

I've always been 50/50 on this as a song. It always goes off live and whenever I hear it in a club but it's not one I go out my way to play on it's own (but because its not attached to a studio album that could be why). Not one i'd rank towards the top of their singles discography though.

15 year anniversary now for this divisive album! Justice for Bionic still needs to fully happen😆

If its not music video related then im guessing interlude videos for MAYHEM Ball?!

Seeing multiple posts now on Twitter / X what are hinting at a surprise Glastonbury set being planned. If so, I wonder if she’s doing the legends slot that Rod Stewart was pencilled in for. He’s just postponed some shows due to illness and she’s more than legendary enough to cover!

Still seeing some people saying How Bad Do U Want Me is getting some playlist adds and is also high up on the 'This is Lady Gaga' playlist? I remember seeing something regarding Australian radio but I've not seen it on any UK playlists as of yet. I do honestly see How Bad Do U Want Me taking off though and it's a side of Gaga we've never seen before either possibly her post pure pop almost bubble-gum release since Eh Eh. Come on Mother serve us up the next single now 😆 (tbf I do remember some insiders saying the next single announcement and video were coming after Singapore and these days music videos don't actually make that much difference (Abracadabra did but the song and video come at the same time there) I think playlisting is more essential for whatever the next track to get a push is. In other news! #56 isn't too bad for Monday pretty close to where it was last week and by Friday it climbed a few places so it's holding up where it is for now.

Midweek #1 in UK! Hopefully it holds up but haven’t seen the sales as of yet! If it does it would be her third #1 album here 😀. I think I’ll now get a physical this week to try and help out but her team hopefully will see this and add some more signed copies to the UK store.

Just based from the TUDUM performance, It’s heavily hinted it’s being used in Wednesday too 😁

Some sad news was announced yesterday. Rihanna’s father has passed away. Hoping that Rihanna and her family are doing well under the circumstances and sending thoughts to her.

I now think Zombieboy is getting the push!

I keep going back to Golden Burning Sun and Walk of Fame. Two definite career highlights. I need to really delve into it as a whole album again and I’m very intrigued at seeing it as a visual piece. She really is SO versatile though. One of the most interesting females of the 21st century for real. What are we anticipating for this chart wise is there anything else major out this week UK wise? The signed edition on her store is STILL sold out so I’m hoping that’s at least good sign. 😆

Loved that performance!! Very coded with Born This Way in ways. Zombieboy to me always felt like it could go viral so if that is the next single I think it’s a smart move and if it’s used in Wednesday even better. But Wednesday is still two months away right so in the mean time I wonder what’s happening or are they pushing it early so the GP are aware of the track before the series drops.

I’m not sure what to expect here! Don’t think we’re gonna get a new song tonight though is my guess. Netflix had something MAYHEM related in their actual bio didn’t they so I do think that there’s more to come from that era and the Wednesday track is surely Zombieboy right. As for what she’s performing tonight - absolutely no idea! She loves to surprise though doesn’t she 😆. What sort of event is Tudum though?! Like is it an event where we can expect a Gaga performance like Abracadabra for example or is it more along the lines of “Lady” and we can expect a stripped back performance of something like Vanish Into You or Die With A Smile.

18 years ago today since the original version of the album was released to the world!! What a time it was! STILL charting consistently in the UK too currently at #67 and 276 weeks on the chart! Can easily see it getting to 300 weeks by the end of the calendar year.

Sales wise the drop was less harsh this week! Hoping that it sticks around this part of the chart until we get something to boost it!

Her best album did that!

Round 4 is now open and again vote for your two least favourites! 8 songs now remain! Last round we lost Take A Bow a song what also topped charts in UK but is definitely one that she’s done a lot better since. However if being the lead of the re-release of the huge Good Girl Gone Bad era meant that she was riding her imperial phase era! We also lose Love The Way You Lie a huge song back in 2010 and one what very narrowly on a few occasions missed the UK #1 despite being the year end #1! Results so far 13th - Work 5/12 Votes - Round 1 13th - The Monster 5/12 Votes - Round 1 12th - S&M Remix 9/11 Votes - Round 2 11th - Live Your Life 6/11 Votes - Round 2 10th - Take A Bow - 8/14 Votes - Round 3 9th - Love The Way You Lie - 6/14 Votes - Round 3

This is actually really strong as a collective piece! She pretty much always delivers for me but I think this will be one of those albums where different things come together the more I listen. The production is really interesting and I love that she’s delivered with those song lengths, in the world of streaming where songs feel so short she’s given us full tracks what have quite a bit to them! Her voice as well sounds really strong on this too. The instant standouts to me were Golden Burning Sun but Walk of Fame was the wow moment! I don’t know where I’d rank it yet among her other albums but she’s definitely delivered again. I think this actually feels more like the natural flow up to Plastic Hearts in a sense!

What a moment for her! I definitely hope to still hear the re-recorded debut album and Taylor’s version of reputation when that is re-recorded in full.

I like it yet feel it’s very short at the same time. It almost ends where it feels like a real climax is coming but I’m liking the production on this era from what’s been heard so far.

I’ve not seen too much hype for this on socials but excited to give it a listen. I’ve always felt Miley is underrated in the album stakes come to think of it - her projects from Bangerz onwards especially have all been really varied but all strong in their own ways. I wonder how much the accompanying visual element plays into the music too.

I listened this morning! It’s actually a great album. I hadn’t heard it as a whole piece for a while but was re-reminded of how strong it was! I wish the era went differently and we had different singles given pushes etc but the material was there and it was a great taster to get her back into popstar mode for what would become MAYHEM.

Katy being female is kinda a relevant point in a way when it comes to her treatment and career because male artists do get away with worse things and have it not impact them at all. I mean Chris Browns probably gonna still score hits and huge tours once his latest legal drama is solved. Having said that though there is something about Katy’s actual material itself just being completely awful these days. There’s no dressing up just how much her actual material itself has drastically deteriorated (and to me no matter how extravagant her sets and staging can be she’s pretty much never delivered on the live vocals). I’m sure Katy will always see success from a touring perspective though and I think if she goes in a different direction next era possibly more acoustic or just stripped back in general maybe critics could be kinder.

For me Phresh Out The Runway is my personal least favourite thing she’s ever done! Horrible opener to what’s actually one of her better albums. This is more beige than it is bad per se. It’s definitely just been cobbled together though.
