Gaga's new album cycle has been greeted with positive reviews from critics, and significant chart success.

Fueling the projects's success has been the remarkable sales increase that singles "Million Reasons," "A-YO," and "Perfect Illusion" have posted. In most countries, all of the tracks have been placed in the Top 20 of iTunes at the same time.
To top it all off, Lady Gaga makes history with Joanne's big debut. She is now the first female artist of the decade to notch four number-one albums, following up Born This Way, ARTPOP, and Cheek to Cheek.
