i don't understand this obsession with solo hits. she was the brains behind Shallow and ROM, and most likely a significant part of DWAS too

[TEETHTEETH 1,380]

I think Gaga has always focused on longevity. During BTW didn’t she say something of the sort “if you don’t like it today, you’ll be here for it in 10years” which proven true for BM, GH, HML, Judas…. We remain unbothered.

To be honest a #1 nowadays means nothing, unless the song stays at the top of charts for weeks. Charts are nothing similar to what they were a decade ago.

Who cares

im sorry but as much as i love Disease i dont believe they anticipated it being a hit. 

 

i mean its called Disease 😅 it’s a cute buzz single for spooky season.

The fact that people now have to talk about “solo hits” is so funny to me  get a grip

While it was a collab, she literally released the biggest Song of the year a few months ago.  Who cares if its solo or not. It's still her voice, her image and her popularity that made that Song famous as well. Just like how she carried Shallow, ARUTW and even HMH was a medium sized hit... and even if that's not enough for you, Judas and Bloody Mary still get more Streams than some recent Singles despite either not being hits a decade ago or being deemed flops.

This Album cycle also just started. Disease was a taste of whats to come. She proved these critics wrong a million times already and she'll do it again.

Lady Gaga rarely chose the obvious singles unless she was forced to. Starstruck, Monster, and Gypsy never became singles. Telephone and The Edge of Glory only became singles because she was forced to make them singles. Rain On Me is an outlier.

This!

Gaga performed, wrote and produced Shallow with about 5 other people involved in the song creation, while other artists' "solo hits" have like 20 people behind them and the performer barely touched it...

Horrible article -unethical and manipulative. 

Still, I root for a solo number 1, only to end this tiresome narrative.

She doesn’t have anything to prove ANYMORE also considering how fu***d up is the music industry right now. Music needs to become viral with casual trends, with no deep meaning, the lenght has to be streaming friendly with loss of artistic freedom and creativity. I don’t stand by this and I don’t need to see Gaga topping in a country where people love Trump, trap, plain values and whatsoever.

Time for Gaga to stay true to herself, and make music for the geeks, the alternatives, the nerds. Guys it’s obvious that LG7 is for US. Also considering the promo based only on sharing tiktoks of stans. It makes sense.

I only want her to earn the right amount of money to be supported and to create. If an hit will come I’ll be happy, but she had her moments in the past, and all I want now is that she creates for our community, which will always be starving for her projects and support her.

 

It’s impossible for a human being to be appreciated constantly by people who change their taste and evolve. She should go with the flow… and I don’t want that. Many artists like Kesha or Kerli are indipendent, make their art and feel good about it. Time for us to literally detox from this mainstream fever.

Why are people acting like she didn't write and produce all these hits?  

[Killa 15,391]

It's not like bradley cooper made Shallow be number 1 lol, she could pull that by herlself, or am i completely delusional??? It's her song for anyone matters, even it's a duet. 

The rest might be partial true.

No one is questioning bruno mars and he has not had a solo hit in a while either.
