You are basically trashing Gaga on a website dedicated to Gaga and you expect all of us to ignore you?

You need to leave.

I hope ASIB can be like Greatest Showman and continue its great run well into 2019.. With this start? Is 5 million SPS a possibility?

(Also, a friend was saying she should release ARUTW after the Oscars vote is tallied - keep Shallow unsullied until the vote is in. He swears it's going to be a hit. I tend to agree.) 

I agree as well. Always Remember Us This Way is AMAZING and to me just feels like a sleeper hit

Gaga Ooh Lala

Ya sick hags should stop minimizing Gaga's achievements and undermining her talents at every turn. How is this a fansite when all you do is put her down even when she's all the way up? Get tf over ARTPOP. She's a main pop girl. The bjork phase was a phase. She's winning the GP as she should. How about y'all use her as inspiration to be successful in your own lives?

A Star is Born has done exceptionally well and has far exceeded many people's expectations, but it might be wise to wait for official confirmation before hailing it as the best-selling female album of 2018.  Music News Facts is not official.

 

Looking at Official Charts, A Star is Born is listed as a Motion Picture Cast Recording in this article which lists the Official Top 40 biggest sellers https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-biggest-albums-of-2018__22461/  The article also cites 'Ariana Grande claims 2018’s biggest album by an international female artist with Sweetener at Number 16'.


None of that is to undermine Lady Gaga's achievement, but to claim it is a solo record featuring Bradley Cooper when he takes solo lead in numerous songs is surely to undermine his role? Back in October 2018 when the soundtrack album went to number one on the Billboard 200, the article Billboard posted attributes both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper all of the way through https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8479947/five-a-star-is-born-songs-hit-hot-100

Technically it is BOTH a female and male album, Billboard considers this album her 5th #1 this decade so it's right. Beside this A Star Is Born has been released through Gaga's label and she has the most credits on the album as a singer, writer and producer

Enough has been said , it's not a solo album an it's ridiculous to reach for these records. Really, stop, it's not everything about Gaga.

A Star Is Born was released through Gaga's label and Gaga has the most credits on the album as a singer, writer and producer. It doesn't say solo artist, it says FEMALE album, and this album does include a female. And we aren't saying its all about Gaga, stop spreading our negativity in these threads. just appreciate the achievement.

ASIB smashed not Gaga. The album sold that much bcuz of mainly Bradley.

Is that why three of Gaga’s solo songs from the soundtrack, i.e., ARUTW, INLA and ITA, all charted extremely well on both the BBHot100 and streaming platforms WW (first two were top 40 hits on BB while the third, a song not even featured in the film, debuted at #63), all whilst Shallow was simultaneously also peaking at #5 on that same chart, and yet curiously in the meanwhile, Cooper’s only solo song from ASIB to enter the BB chart at all debuted at #93 prior to dropping off entirely the following week?

Is that why during the week(s) of the OST release and movie debut, Gaga was once again #1 on the BB Top 100 Artists, while Cooper peaked at #3?

Is that the same reason Gaga also remained the #1 artist WW on iTunes for well over a month, while international pop sensation Bradley Cooper strangely never managed to top that same chart based upon popularity of music sales? 

Further, BB themselves reported that Gaga made history by becoming the first female artist to have five consecutive albums debut at #1 in the 2010s decade. Also, it’s interesting that she had another highly successful #1 album only a year prior to ASIB debuting at #1, given she apparently owes her commercial success to Bradley, after all.

But maybe you’re right; perhaps the general public made Joanne the second best selling female album of 2016, (secondary only to Lemonade), despite it not having even been radio-friendly, simply because they already knew Gaga would be collaborating with their beloved Cooper a year later, and as such, his massive fanbase wanted to proactively support the album sales (and sold-out world tour and two-year residency) of their idol’s future costar, a weird chick named Stefani something (I think). 

Your “argument” is seriously so laughable; I don’t even understand what you’re attempting to do with your faulty information and distorted logic, considering that any Grammys the ASIB OST wins will only pile onto the collection of six Grammys that Gaga already has, and if “Shallow” wins Best Original Song at the Academy Awards as is currently expected by industry professionals, then the Oscar will also go to HER, not Cooper, because she’s the songwriter.

Plus, you know, she’s almost certainly about to pick up some Golden Globes, SAG Awards and/or Oscars for her very first acting role on the big screen, so unless Bradley can lay claim to Gaga’s acting accolades just like he apparently can with her decade of record-breaking album sales for some unknown reason, then I guess he’s gonna have a bunch of “Best Actress” trophies laying around his crib following award season.
