Do you think Lady Gaga is paying attention to today's music charts?

[ARTPOPchamp 292]

While working on her new album, do you think Lady Gaga is paying attention to where music is right now and will make music that is similar but with a Gaga & RedOne twist? Or do you think she's paying attention to the charts and is making the complete opposite of what's big in music today? Or do you think she's not paying attention to music at all today and is just making the music she wants to make this time?

I'd like to think that she's just making music that she wants to make  

[Dodo 313]

She better. A smart pop star monitors music trends--you can't just dive in the dark. 

[SlaeUrAnus 15,976]

I think she is. 

There will be a time again (just like in 2009) where she revolutionises pop music again because it has started to get repetitive in the charts. 

Sick of seeing Katy Perry and Ariana Grande's multiple entries with their Nickelodeon bops.

I think that she's fully aware of what easily works nowadays, but that doesn't mean that she'll force herself to fit in that mold.

​I agree.
I think she is taking notice to make sure there isn't any overlap with her own direction

[HighwayGuy 1,498]

She is definately tracking what is popular

 

She really wants to be back on top and she can do that if she takes the right approach

 

Hopefully it will be a Fame era 2.0 where she revolutionises pop music once more

​Agreed, but I'm sure RedOne and other producers are following some trends tbh..

[Ladey Gagz 2,512]

Not when Uptown Funk has been dominating

I guess she keeps track but not so she can follow it

[bionic 50,107]

Of course she is.

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

Gaga wants to make sure her music isn't a copy or outdated sound of what's on radio NOW...

Gaga obviously wants to make sure her music is great and radio friendly...she's a pop star

Gaga also wants to stand out and her music is polarizing at times and can't be compared to other pop girls tbqh...RedOne and her will create timeless music once again and nobody will be able to compete

[Vernier 3,786]

Yes she is, maybe not necessarily so she can follow the trend, but she is a pop artiste, she has to know what's in and what's dated  

[Coldplay 217]

None. She's not listening to what's on the charts. She's probably listening to genres she likes and drawing inspiration from underground trends, like she's always done. She's looking for something that has potential to make it big. She doesn't need something that's already big.

​If she did ARTPOP would have sounded very different
