Not another tribute... Everyone performing their own stuff while Gaga will do another tribute... @1885497135837172161

We don't care about Shallow anymore, we have an even bigger hit in town

Of course I know, however, being subversive and always wanting to go against the game is not always a smart attitude. If you're a true Gaga fan, you know damn well how much she fought to get out of the commercial decline her career faced between 2013-2017 with the ARTPOP era + her singing jazz while everyone else kept dropping pop hits + Joanne which wasn't necessarily a comeback. Everybody knows that ASIB saved and changed the course of her career forever and I don't want her career to return to the state it was in before ASIB. I just want her to stand on her own two feet and not be held hostage by collabs forever, is that hard to assimilate?! It's hard to understand that if she continues to drop noisy niche solo songs like the ones I mentioned, she will continue to struggle to get hits without another act singing on her song? Is critical acclaim a good thing? Yes. Does critical acclaim from 20 pseudo-magazine reviewers put food on the table? No. So the point is: every artist (Gaga included) wants to be successful, no matter how much they try to deny it, that's why they get signed to record companies and put their stuff on sale, so don't act like edgy weirdos who just want noisy, non-commercial music that only a minority will listen to because at the end of the day all that matters in a capitalist world are numbers, for me, for you and for Gaga. Sorry if I'm straight to the point.

Yes and I hope they announce their joint album and stadium tour after taking home the Song of the Year award :cheeseblock:

@1885425568688021683 Hope they perform :cheeseblock:

Bring it back to me when I said you guys are not allowed from saying what you'd rather she release or that she doesn't have the freedom to release anything that comes to her mind? lol. You have your opinion, I have mine, period, however, when it comes to numbers, facts are facts: solo songs she's been releasing since the Joanne era don't even come close to the quality of the 2008-2013 solo stuff she released, not even close, numbers don't lie. Her mentality of only releasing solo songs that go against what plays on the radio and what hits the top of the charts is a shot in her own foot. It may not seem so dangerous for her career in the short term, but in the long term, time takes its toll. You can be sure that the Beatles didn't become the best-selling acts of all time until today by releasing songs that only a specific niche would listen to. At the end of the day, play the game or you're out, that's it. She can continue to release as many songs that only a specific group of fans will listen to as she wants tho, however, she and her fans can kiss the charts and relevance goodbye.

I don't care about your opinion either, however, when it comes to numbers there's nothing to argue about, facts are facts, as long as she continues to release songs like 911, Disease, Perfect Illusion and Abracadabra, haters' narrative is that she doesn't get solo hits like she used to will continue. I have the charts to back up what I say, you just have your opinion.

Disease over Die with a Smile? LMAO, that's why she can't get solo hits like she used to, her team must be full of people like you.

Just because I'm not used to lying like you? :unsure: Facts are facts, this song won't do anything on the charts and y'all know it. Another wrong move in her career.

I love how y'all lie to yourselves even though y'all know I'm right deep down. I don't need to hear the entire songs to know that every other snippet confirmed on the album is more commercial than abracadabra, which will only be played in gay clubs with lots of things that I can't write here. Everyone pretending to support this song? Okay, but then don't act surprised when it performs worse than Disease on the charts.

I see it's hard for some to understand that Gaga can balance art AND charts. Zombie boy is right there, Garden of Eden is right there, (another commercial song from the album) is right there to do the job, instead she's going to make her record company spend tons of money to air a video for a song doomed to flop during the Grammys break.

That's the problem. She sees the reaction of some fans about a certain song that she intends to release as a single in the future and thinks that this is the opinion of the entire fan base/gp and the right move for her career. Then she releases it and it tanks. It's an endless loop. 15 fans won't keep any song on the charts based solely on their streams and opinions, she needs the masses to get a hit, DWAS is proof of that.

And then y'all don't understand why she doesn't get solo hits like she used to... When she releases solo stuff, it's songs like 911, Disease, Perfect Illusion and this one now... GP will never play songs like that and if she depends on her fan base alone to get hits, she's already on the gallows. Making a mistake once is tolerable but continuing to do that is stupid. She seems to have lost her touch when it comes to picking solo singles. Her "yes-man" and you are also guilty of this because y'all initially pretend to support her because she is mOtHeRiNg with these non-commercial songs and then turn your back on her solo stuff and let yourselves be swayed by the haters' narrative. Step out of your bubble a little and see the truth.

So she must already know that it won't be a hit. The only artist who gets hits with her fan base alone is Taylor. She can't help herself... She had to release something more commercial after Disease's lukewarm performance, not something even more risky. :unsure:

I don't think she'll drop a fourth single just a month after the third, which makes me worried. This song should be a promotional single at most and not an official one.

This is going to do worse than Disease on the charts... Did someone hit her on the head? There must be at least 5 songs better than this one on the album.

@1884780688702115954@1884777254028493039 They should perform at the Grammys to maintain their reign for as many weeks as possible.

MAYHEM on Apple Music: #22 Brazil (+1) #35 Turkey (+15) #41 Spain (+9) #60 Colombia (+13) #64 Ireland (=) #73 Netherlands (-28) #76 Mexico (+8) #88 Belgium (+36) #90 Italy (+13) #92 China (NE) #104 Switzerland (+71) #127 Germany (NE) #135 United Kingdom (+45) #139 Thailand (+61) #179 France (NE) #186 Australia (NE) With just 2 songs released :clap:

I know this ain't a poll thread but I wanted to give my opinion anyway.

Welp... Abracadabra is even harsher than Disease, it's literally gay club music that doesn't resonate with gp... Radio won't play it. It's definitely not the right song to serve as Disease's follow-up. :manson: She can't bet everything on DWAS alone to sell the album.

And I can see no one giving a shit about your delusional takes :king: OT: Gimme zombieboy mommy!

Found it in an Australian store, haven't seen it anywhere else so far https://yescharlierecords.com/products/mayh...-cover-blue-2lp

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm the last one to believe insiders, but since DWAS they've been getting a lot of things right. One of them had posted half of the DWAS cover before Gaga's official announcement and everyone thought it was an AI pic of her but it turned out to be official. They had also already described the cover of Mayhem even before it was leaked through Gaga's site and it also turned out to be true. Plus it's impossible for that snippet to be fake, given that the official song has the same title.

No. Here it is: According to an ATRL insider, this is the demo version of the song and the official version is even better. It sounds like Gaga's 2008-2012 demos, so catchy, imagine having songs like that on your album and making your comeback with Disease... I can't wait to listen to Shadows of a man (snippet she used at the end of the Chromatica Ball film) and Zombie boy (which plays on the car radio in the Disease video) + everything else on the album.
