He looks like a "Let's Dance is my favourite GaGa song" kinda guy  

'Ed Sheeran and George Ezra are the best artists of our generation'

Oh god  

I searched for him on Twitter and he's literally trying to do something

Radio remains the final b*tch. Cant believe that Shallow isnt in top 100 on radio in US.

Is he purposely trying to bait twitter monsters so that he can then play the victim tomorrow morning on his show?

Can someone please find out if someone has ever had a #1 album, song, and movie at the same time in the UK? I want to write a dramatic ass "Lady Gaga Makes History" article, but I need facts 

Everybody is saying that Eminem did it with 8 Mile, but I can't find any evidence of that being true.

8 Mile topped the UK box office in the middle of January 2003: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/uk/?yr=2003&p=.htm

But the number one albums in the UK during that time were Robbie Williams and Avril Lavigne: https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/all-the-number-1-albums__7949/#2000s

In fact, looking at that archive, it doesn't look like the 8 Mile soundtrack went to #1 in the UK at all.

Also, Lose Yourself only went to #1 for one week in the UK in Dec 2002, a month before the film went to #1. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/all-the-number-1-singles__7931/#2000s

Aside from THAT even - the 8 Mile soundtrack is not even credited under Eminem's name. It's 'Various Artists' on iTunes, and only four of the sixteen songs have Eminem on them. 50 Cent has the same amount of songs on the soundtrack (3 solo one with D12)

So maybe Gaga is the first after all.

Nnn I just listened back to the podcast and he deadass said "I bet she's a little bit annoyed she hasn't had a #1 in eight years and Bradley Cooper is the person to push it over the line"

 he didn't do ****, Gregory, there's a reason the Gaga solo's and Gaga powered duets are doing the numbers moreso than the Bradley solos

It’s so ironic that early days she hardly crossed over to HAC or AC until well after her peak on Pop or thereabouts. And today, the format that used to be her staple is the format most hesitant to play any of her music regardless of if it’s Trendy or not (see The Cure).

I definitely think he is baiting for a reaction from Monsters.

Gaga isn't credited on the soundtrack either though. Its labeled as a "Motion Picture Cast Recording" and doesn;t count toward her total #1 albums in the UK

How about Barbara Streisand?

Maybe her version of A Star Is Born did that?

OCC don't decide album credits. That's just how they've labelled it on their website. The official credit on the release is Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - that's indisputable.
