Honestly then at this point I'm just absolutely amazed that nothing leaked. We literally have nothing and it's a month away 

I'm so happy not even a small part of a still from a video is leaking. I want to be hit in the face out of nowhere by the material with its full force

You are all so dramatic. Yes, the teaser was Gaga Returns LG7. She never said when that was happening. Or are we now gonna say that when she said “may the clock start ticking till the next time” at the last ArtRave was also too soon. 
 

Yes the era is lacking thus far, but we had the holidays in between, so not surprising. And jokers flop didnt help, but probably everything else was planned already. And you are not gonna shuffle all of that because of FAD flopped. 
 

Also, stop treating the 6 week pre-orders as something set in stone. Just because Billy did it doesnt mean Gaga has too as well. She could very well do only 4 weeks of pre-orders, and it wont make a big difference. Fans pre-order, other people will only buy when it is released

Just to reiterate that I replied to Bronco just to make a correction about the teaser.

I agree with you guys that we should just shut up and wait for it and try and be positive. We need to understand the circumstances and stop acting like we know better than her and her team. I think people here act too certain of things and complain too much about things they can't control or have no knowledge about. Zero chill.

This 👑

Even in the original Chromatica rollout, they had decided only 4 weeks of pre-order. It will be the norm for this era too. She'll most probably announce the album mid or late January if the album releases in the late February.

Also for those who are complaining about why Gaga hyped them with LG Returns in May, they will still be complaining if she didn't even tease or stay silent.

Yesss I want to get my headphones and listen to the full thing  I've been avoiding any random snippets aside from the Paris ones too 

[Starmie25 13,941]

I guess I'd be a bit worried hadn't we heard about the Copacabana and Coachella platforms.

But knowing she's doing both is incredible and I feel is going to be huge milestone for her as performer. We ain't ready

This isn’t true. They decided to do almost 6 weeks of pre orders from March 2nd to April 10th, delayed it and got an extra 7 weeks, and secured a strong debut with almost 300k copies in about 12 weeks of preorder time.

Let’s just pray for over 180k (barely above Joanne) and a #1 debut atp

I just came to this realization: feb 28th is a friday and of course we’re getting the album on the last possible day of the month  Disease was also released the last friday of the month. So if we consider 6 weeks of pre-order, we could get the announcement in exactly one week. Also, by looking at her latest roll-out tactics, she could start teasing some days prior to the announcement, which could mean anywhere between today and next friday.

If we consider 4 weeks of pre-order then we should get the announcement by jan 31st. If nothing happens by then, then we can say it’s postponed but I don’t think it’s going to be the case.

Thank you for this. We are soooooo close let's be patient y'all

She won't get a #1 debut releasing on the 28th, but as long as she and her team are happy with that, then that's fine. It's the music that counts. I had been guessing the 21st for a while, and she would have had to have announced this week if she wanted the same timeframe was Joanne and Chromatica. So next week for the 28th works out.

Yes, I’m a little bitter she said „They hate when I say soon but SOON.“ and then nothing came regarding LG7. Like come on, we all thought Dance In The Shadow comes any minute. 
But it’s not like she abandoned us, it was quite a packed year for Gaga comparing 2024 to 2023.

The album comes when it comes. We don’t work at Interscope so none of us know if plans have changed and if so, why they changed. And actually, personally I’d love a new Gaga album end of February / March. Having a full new Gaga Pop album when spring is crawling back is a mood. 
I get why people are kinda pissed but it’s not leading to anything. And dragging Gaga won’t change anything or download LG7 onto your device. Lets chill. It’s almost here.

We already know from the popjustice insider that the album will be announced 1 week before release, pre-orders are not the be-all end all. Nothing she did so far suggests that she cares about first week performance. Just think of how Disease was handled. Was the video released on time? No. Was the promo released soon after release? No. They did the slow dribble of content and it clearly shows the attitude towards the era. They don't care about first week numbers.

isn't the 6 week pre-order more based on the Vinyl pressing estimate?

Why not?

Kendrick is shipping the GNX physicals that week (important to note he's also an Interscope artist so it would probably be a conflict of interest for Interscope to have two major artists competing for #1 on the same tracking week) and Lisa's album comes out, considering BP still have a massive following, like most K-pop acts, it'll more than likely do well with physicals and streaming numbers that week.

Why did my homophobic crush liked Chromatica's announcement? Is he in denial or something?
