JohnWayne23 5,227 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017  Gaga could drift no further from the mainstream and ever hope to paddle her way back. Ultimately, she decided it was important to her career and her message to try to bring back those fans left cold by her days of high-conceptuality. She did that via a straightforward pop-rock album and a Super Bowl performance that delivered the hits and rocked the boat only in subtle ways, allowing her to remind people at all points on the political and social spectrum why she was once a pop star without peer. It seems that Cyrus' new music is taking her down a similar path in the post-Trump age -- one in stark contrast to that of a top 40 fixture like Katy Perry, who embraced full wokeness with her weighty, living-in-a-bubble disco callout "Chained to the Rhythm." Perry sounded the clarion call for what she called "purposeful-pop" with that single, but it's unclear how much the pop world wants to follow her example just yet -- especially considering that by Katy's own sky-high standards, the song under-performed: "Rhythm" debuted at No. 4 on the Hot 100 but fell off from there, making it her first lead single (previewing this June's upcoming Witness LP) not to top Billboard's marquee songs chart.   Source: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7800066/miley-cyrus-malibu-lady-gaga-joanne-centric-pop-stars?utm_source=twitter  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 55,631 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Katy has always shifted towards a self-importance when it comes to her music, even when it's not quite that serious. It's not really tea, per se but, it definitely might stop other protest-songs from hitting the market, at least for a short while. Purr more, hiss less.

Stef 60,039 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 "That's not to imply, however, that Cyrus is guaranteed a commercial rebirth by following closer in Gaga's footsteps. While Joanne topped the Billboard 200 albums chart, and "Million Reasons" eventually climbed its way to No. 4 on the Hot 100, the set hardly proved a blockbuster: "Perfect Illusion" stalled at No. 15, "Reasons" only reached the top 40 after being performed at the country's most-watched televised event, no official third single has yet been released, and the LP continues to slide its way down the Billboard 200's bottom half."  I guess you could say Billboard "sipped tea" on Gaga too?  Signature loading⊠đčđ€ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
