Because TFM is an EP https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fame_Monster Yes I know but the standards have changed. TFM classifies as an album now. Gaga always said it was an album, and now it truly is one. Music platforms have it as an album as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewPa 3,762 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 oh for goodness's sake... Is there any "TFM is an album or an EP" Thread we can bump from 2010 just to keep on discussing about this extremely interesting topic there?

Spock 20,292 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 why are we discussing this again Gaga has said time and time again that she considers The Fame Monster its own entity and not an extension of The Fame. It was also very clearly its own era, with its own looks, aesthetic, tour, themes and meaning. Regardless of how Wikipedia classifies it and TFM being an EP, it's still a full blown, separate album era. Plus, Gaga also confirmed this by settling the debate we had for months on whether the then unannounced Joanne was going to be LG5 or LG6 because of Cheek to Cheek by hashtagging a studio pic LG5 LG1 The Fame LG2 The Fame Monster LG3 Born This Way LG4 ARTPOP LG5 Joanne LG6 Chromatica who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Guy 09 13,941 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Do you think we'll be getting any signature hits to add to the catalogue this era? I'd say her main hits: - Bad Romance, Just Dance, Shallow, Poker Face, Million Reasons, telephone, btw, the edge of glory, paparazzi, applause (US only) Maybe stupid love will catch on and become a signature or maybe something else who knows. Stare at the Chartster in the mirror they talk to me too. #StreamFunTonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga didn't do an album though. It was meant to be a deluxe of The Fame, but instead, they release the 8 songs as an EP to coincide with The Fame. The Yin to the Yang, they reissued The Fame. The 8 songs (TFM) on disc one, and TF on disc two End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 34 minutes ago, xoxo Craig said: Yeah and Gaga can say this but it doesn't change the fact that The Fame Monster is still an EP and not Lady Gaga's 2nd album sorry, thats just the rules The Fame Monster is 34:09 long. 'If a product contains four to six songs, and has a total duration of 30 minutes or less, it is generally classified as an EP. Therefore, an album is typically seven songs and runs over 30 minutes.' You don't just base what a music project is on the number of tracks but also on its length. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlepotter 75,867 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 12 minutes ago, Agunimon said: Following the illogical rationale some of you guys are spitting out, if she calls ARTPOP a gospel album, it must be a gospel album. Right? Because she said so, so it has to be the case. She says a lot of things my dudes. Just because her ARTPOP could mean anything doesn't mean she can say an album with 8 tracks is an album when 8 tracks is what makes it an EP. She reissued it with The Fame and bundled it up as an album for that purpose, but The Fame Monster as a singular body of work is an EP. This is absolutely not the same thing. At ALL. This is about album length. The Official Chart Company defines a boundary between EP and album classification at 25 minutes of maximum length and no more than four tracks. Source TFM fits both. Gaga says it's an album. End of discussion. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's technically a cover album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
