There will be no one 'it' song for her entire career. She will be remembered in very different ways and different styles of songs. To some, she's the Bad Romance singer. To others, she was the Born This Way activist. To others, she's the Shallow multi-talented crooner and movie star. Her career is just starting. Mark my words, her new major phase will deliver a new it song for us to discuss. Don't forget the billion articles that still refer to her as "the Million Reasons singer" You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 98,225 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I mean, I don’t think it is better or it performed better but that’s Shallow If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, especially with someone like Gaga you just never know, I mean back in 2018 a big majority of this fanbase were making threads about how Gaga will never have a WW hit again and then a half year later boom Shallow happened. Shallow's sales (2018-2019) are a lot more impressive than Bad Romance's sales (2009-2010). Honestly, selling 15M singles in 2019 is like selling 40M singles in 2009 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think Shallow's impact on people's lives is much bigger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 56,316 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I doubt she will have any other song that could rival Bad Romance. Shallow had massive success but it's no competition to BR in terms of iconicness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,621 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I definitely want her to release an avant-garde, storytelling, unstructured, operatic epic like Bohemian Rhapsody! Chart success be damned!  I am picturing something like a 7 minute version of Venus that creates an imaginary world and story Gaga can use for her stage shows If ARTPOP was more publically successful, I'll bet we would have that by now  My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont see songs pulling those kind of numbers nowadays in fact Bad Romance sold like 12-13m pure sales WW at the peak of digital sales, now the sales are like at an all time low because of the rising of streaming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think they should have made more efforts with sales, like for example making a balance between sales and streaming on Billboard charts and not reduce the importance of sales because that didn't helped at all and overall makes the artists relly mostly on streaming promotions which could be done easily by the labels alone and reducing the importance of singers promoting their singles/albums the traditional way. I don't think people are that poor to not afford paying like $1 for a song or $7 to $14 for an album of an artist that they like, reducing the importance of sales on the charts wasn't needed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
