Charts Discussion - Pre-order 'A Star Is Born' soundtrack!

[JR Gg 12,985]

Honestly it's desperate measures to secure her album at #1 but she's a businesswoman. If she debuts at #2, y'all will call her a flop. If she debuts at #1, y'all will call her lucky. 

Stop shaming an artist for marketing her damn product. Because I don't remember your albums debuting at #2 and there's no point proven here. 

Imagine stanning Gaga who preaches kindness and then this

I'm sorry but Nicki deserves to flop. A little reality check doesn't hurt.

She's like Chart News on Instagram, she pretends to be the queen, aka she needs to stop

Lady Gaga's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards Performance Was a Warning Pop Culture Needed

What Lady Gaga did at the 2009 VMAs was shocking—the blood, the walking stick, the death at the end—but it was more than just spectacle. It was a wake-up call.

Gaga was only a year into pop superstardom at the time, so "the fame" hadn't taken her life yet. But she had plenty of evidence to think it could.....

.....You hear and see that warning the most on "Paparazzi," the fifth single from The Fame, which Gaga performed at the 2009 MTV VMAs. At first glance "Paparazzi" is a sunny, disco-fied ode to infatuation—"I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me," she sings during the chorus—but her live performances give the song new meaning. The way she says "paparazzi" during her VMAs set, for example, is so harsh it suggests infatuation isn't always innocent. It can border on scary, just as it did with Spears in 2008.

And then, of course, there's what happens at the end of the performance: Gaga bleeds to death and is strung up by her dancers, her eyes glassy and lifeless. In the background you hear the faint sound of paparazzi snaps; flashes shine on her "dead" body as if people are taking pictures. We've essentially just witnessed the demise of Lady Gaga and instead of seeking help, we're spectating....

....In 2009 few batted an eye at the frenzied and rabid way photographers treated celebrity women. "Well, they asked for it" was a common way to dismiss it. But you couldn't dismiss the image of Gaga bleeding on stage: It shed a light on how terrifying that behavior actually is—and where it can lead...

...In many ways the public could be perceived as having destroyed her just to raise her up again—something they've done in various ways to artists like Courtney Love, Madonna, and the late Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse. Back then the world delighted in seeing famous women have it all, lose it all, and claw their way back to the top. Gaga clocked this phenomenon in her own subversive way—and showed just how sinister it truly is.

Thankfully, our culture's come along way since 2008. Look at the reaction to Demi Lovato's recent relapse and hospitalization. Instead of mocking her addiction, the response has been overwhelmingly supportive. We've moved into a kinder, more empathetic space. [Born This way foundation, thank you!]....

To me, Lady Gaga absolutely had something to do with this shift. With The Fame and, more specifically, "Paparazzi," Gaga stood with these women before anyone else did—before society caught up. It was armor for scrutinized women: a song that simultaneously showed what was happening to them and what could happen if the media's attitude didn't change. Gaga literally crucified herself on stage to tell the world this—and stop it.

OT: Happy TEN-year anniversary, The Fame! Here's to TEN more!

they were wrong, digital downloads are compressed for bandwidth reasons but itunes probably has the best quality out of the digital services

you'd need really good speakers/earphones to notice the difference but for the standard person, their quality is pretty much the same
