Do any of you feel LG6 will be grander than Joanne

Musically? absolutely. Commercially? Nah. I think her sales/SPS will keep slowly dwindling but honestly who cares. As long as it is QUALITY (which she always serves). 

When things were more competitive in the Pop/Electronic/Dance music sphere, I would have agreed and said that Gaga might decline as the new generation is more here for new artist and their one hit wonders. However, there is a huge gap in pop music right now. None of us expected or even predicted the success Million Reasons would have, even when the odds seemed against her. Before I would have said the GP wouldn't give LG6 the chance it deserves but now it honestly is in the hands of Gaga. If she wants a hit, she could easily make one. She always made iconic pop songs that at least saw moderate success, from the likes of JD, PF, BR, BTW and Applause. I think the timing is perfect going into 2019 to kick things off with a Pop hit, the gap is undeniable, the last proper pop hit was Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor and I honestly cannot recall what was before that, that's how bad things got. This playing field is exactly what set up Just Dance to become the hit it did, radio was overpopulated with the all the Hip-Hop songs, that Just Dance got the support it did just for being different. Radio today is no different, eventually, people will get sick of hearing hip-hop/rap constantly. 2018 will most likely end with 0 pop hits unless Gaga releases something, here's to wishful thinking 

Random: But even Max Martin (arguably the biggest hitmaker and pop producer) who's always been behind a number one hit since 2008 hasn't had one since 2016. This isn't a pop star declining thing as much as it is pop the genre declining sadly.

I think who Gaga is and what her persona represents is at odds with current pop culture. She's pro-gay, a strong woman without a male cosign and America at least is going through a period of rising conservativism and increased conformity.
