Guest Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again , if Gaga ever does this I’ll cry. Her music is special not some commercial garbage like some other artists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger people fancy younger artists now. Many years ago they and we were the young generation. It's always been like that. And that's ok. It doesn't mean they're not succesfull anymore - they start new projects and the real fans will always buy their newer music and go to their shows. They become older with their fans. And as we can see both started new projects - founding companies, doing tv, acting etc. We have to accept that they also have other interests besides music Expand This is one of the most reasonable posts I've ever seen on here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we forget that Gaga has had BIG singles but Katy has had a behemoth string of #1s in her time.

Plus the overall commercial quality of her lesser big stuff makes them very valuable. Gaga’s stuff is iconic but also a little niche in usage. Just look at Roar vs Applause for reference.

Expand I'd say TFM alone is 100M, BTW 60M, AP 20M, Joanne 10M, ASIB 50M, Chromatica 20M, (+orphan). Total 260M+ which is royalties of only around 50 billion streams.

Probably bc it’s very hard to get pop music of the last 2 decades that has a universality, popularity, AND relative wholesomeness that businesses can use. Her catalog of hits is stuff mom’s at the store won’t balk at meanwhile Gaga’s absolutely is Gaga becoming big was down more to her edginess than it was pop qualities. Songs like paparazzi are good and eh eh but are they as universally known and beloved as California gurls or teenage dream? Which is more likely to play at a sports game?

But Gaga selling her music would be the apocalypse of GGD. Katy has never seemed uncomfortable going where the money is (that’s not a bad thing at all). She has a family, and the ability to set your child up for life is probably more valuable to her. Monsters hold Gaga to such ridiculous standards that integrity is seen as breached when she does anything seem as a money grab (Las Vegas, Haus Labs, Tudor, Dom Pérignon).
