Aren 965 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I see a lot of LMs saying Gaga can’t and doesn’t care about doing numbers anymore, that’s she’s a veteran and it’s not a priority. But if Beyonce could do reasonably well being over 40, I can’t see why Gaga couldn’t either. Before Renaissance, Beyonce was doing horribly on streams. I personally expect LG7 to perform similarly to Renaissance. And if she doesn’t wait too long to release LG8, it could do even better. We’re in the steaming era, the more you release, the better you perform. Long waits don’t build up hype anymore, releasing constantly does.

Bonkers 28,245 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 It's up to Gaga. If she wants a smash, she knows how to get attention and sell records. If she doesn't do a lot of promo and attention seeking, that means she doesn't really care, so why should we? Buy the album, watch the videos, and enjoy it without needing validation from sales.

Bling 31,076 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I'm honestly surprised how well Chromatica sold given the general consensus regarding that album and era, and how poorly the lead did on the charts. All of this to say it's kind of unpredictable. I guess she could get away with another non-impactful (chart wise) lead single {Applause, PI, SL} and it have minimal impact on the album sales. But I'd love for her to do another BTW and debut with a #1 lead single. But it's been 13 years since that happened It really depends on the genre of the album and promotion. I'm not talking about doing countless radio interviews, as we saw that had no impact on PI. But, as much as it pains me to say it, TikTok and social media. If she can really SERVE visuals and a dance or something visually appealing that people want to see over and over, she can secure the #1. ---- As far as the album, I think doing similar numbers to Renaissance is fair. Beyonce literally does no promo or visuals anymore and still does pretty well. discord.gg/hausofdelulu The #1 Discord for Delusional Little Monsters! 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToCult 39,805 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I think it’ll do its best the closer it is to Joker. In today’s scene, if you’re a vet you have to strike when the pan is hot. 5 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Beyonce kicked off the era with 100M+ people watching her Super Bowl commercial. Edited May 10 by LateToCult Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even platinum after all these years. I guess I just meant debuting at #1, the biggest opening week of the year for a female artist (at the time). It did well (not great) internationally on the charts. That's what will be remembered imo, the #1 debut. EDIT: Also, I personally wasn't expecting a #1 album with...that song. The #5 debut and #30 second week, but I despise that song so I see why Lbr, Gaga owes Ariana for much of ROM's success and some of Chromatica. The single and video literally saved the album. The GP only remember ROM... Edited May 10 by BlingNotTheMusic discord.gg/hausofdelulu The #1 Discord for Delusional Little Monsters! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKindnessKunt1999 5,731 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 LG7 has the potential to do spectacularly on the charts. It depends on whether she wants to take advantage of the Joker 2 hype or not. It’ll be a great opportunity to make a dark Gaga album. Especially with Bloody Mary, Government Hooker, and Heavy Metal Lover going viral on TikTok one point or another. Her teasing rock music and these darker aesthetics seems promising. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWitch 720 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I think it depends on the marketing and timing, but I would certainly say Gaga could easily achieve the success of Renaissance if the rollout is done right. But I do also think her team’s timing has at least seemed questionable for a while, so I’m not sure where I place my guess yet. I look forward to the adventure either way. Naturally we could also see some massive long game where all things make sense knowing her mind too. I’ll be there either way. I’m also low key hoping for a bit of a Joanne revisit on the side since the yeehaw agenda is in full swing. It would be good to see her get some more redemption and closure for that album.

An MCU or DC film comes with a lot broader exposure and potential for conversion metrics and new fans. My favorite moments are seeing her fans expand because of her sheer talent.
