lastpopicon 37,533 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) missed this topic and y'all The MAYHEM era has come to an end but we can still look back at all the achievements and new peaks MAYHEM brought. I think it's fair to say Gaga re-peaked, let's take a look at what the numbers say 1. -MAYHEM beat Chromatica on filtered Spotify day 1 (45.31M vs 45.18M) -Day 2 retention: 71.7% of streams vs 65.3% for Chromatica -On the HOT 100 Mayhem had 10 songs on the chart vs Chromatica's 4. -MAYHEM is currently doing about 8.8× Chromatica's daily Spotify album streams (4.13M vs 0.47M). Even removing DWAS leaves 1.44M/day, about 3.1× Chromatica. 2. Much of her catalog from previous eras re-peaked after gagacabana and the long tour, it's actually insane how many of her old songs peaked in this period on global spotify, in addition to ALL Mayhem tracks charting on the top 100: Spotify Global peaks during MAYHEM era: Die With a Smile #1 Abracadabra #2 — 8,450,162 Garden of Eden #9 — 4,436,420 Disease #12 — 4,452,496 The Dead Dance #14 — 3,142,795 Vanish Into You #23 — 3,389,629 Perfect Celebrity #31 — 3,065,552 Zombieboy #40 — 2,720,124 Killah #45 2,485,591 How Bad Do U Want Me — #46 — 2,445,980 LoveDrug #49 — 2,378,533 Shadow of a Man #57 — 2,207,832 Don’t Call Tonight #68 — 1,990,590 The Beast #100 — 1,735,902 Bloody Mary #17 Global — 3,099,134 Poker Face — #24 Global — 2,497,363 Judas — #34 Global — 2,317,454 Bad Romance — #44 Global — 2,174,446 Just Dance — #77 Global — 1,727,039 Paparazzi — #145 Global — 1,331,919 And this is only the global charts, many other songs reached peaks too: Alejandro — 991K+ Telephone — 970K+ Born This Way — 633K+ Applause — 617K LoveGame — 555K+ The Edge of Glory — 263K Summerboy — 252K Scheiße — 226K+ Government Hooker — 223K Aura — 67.6K Disco Heaven — 22.4K Brown Eyes — 21.2K Paper Gangsta — 17.7K Dope — 9.1K Bonus: Gaga had 9 songs doing 1M+ Spotify streams simultaneously before MAYHEM even dropped: DWAS, Abracadabra, Poker Face, Disease, ARUTW, Just Dance, Shallow, Bad Romance and Judas. Now lets look at the new peaks of TFM and BTW during the MAYHEM era: The Fame Monster — 8.53M ALL-TIME record Born This Way — 3.92M ALL-TIME record At one point ONLY 3 ALBUMS were bringing in over 26m streams: MAYHEM 13.77M + TFM 8.53M + BTW 3.92M = 26.23M It's an understatement to say she re-peaked again, what she achieved is actually kind of unheard of. No other act that's been in the game for almost 20 years can do numbers like this, the resurgence of ALL her work has to be studied. 3. Abracadabra was a bonafide GLOBAL HIT: US Spotify — #1 Spotify Ukraine — #1 Lithuania Singles Chart — #1 Latvia Streaming Chart — #1 Billboard Hot Dance/Pop Songs — #1 Billboard Dance Streaming Songs — #1 Billboard Dance Digital Song Sales — #1 Hungary Radio — #1 Poland Airplay — #1 Czech Airplay — #1 Spotify Global — #2 UK Singles — #3 Billboard Global 200 — #5 (46 weeks total) Billboard Hot 100 — #13 (20 weeks total) Sure, the USA is tastless but still managed 20 weeks on the hot 100, even with poor radio support (same as rain on me). Globally it was very strong tough, held the global rankings well and managed 46 weeks. Already a gaga classic on the same level of cultural relevance of Pokerface and Bad romance (idc, argue with the wall ) 4. Gagacabana was the biggest cultural moment of 2025. She now holds the Guinness record for the most attendees at a concert for a female artist, with 2.1 to 2.5 million attendees, beating the previous year's record of 1.6M by Madonna and still doing better than Shakira's 2M this year. 5. More spotify records of the era, all albums included: -Gaga reached 124,637,761 monthly listeners, which made her the most listened female artist on the planet until Ariana snatched it on December 27, 2025 with 126,970,279. -She hit 60,718,102 streams in one day on March 7, 2025, the album release day, insane numbers and compares to artists like Taylor and bad bunny. Then she settled around 25/30M daily streams for a looong time. - Before the album even dropped, around February 2025 Gaga was at 23–28M/day; compared to her peers Katy Perry 11.5M/day and Beyoncé ~11M/day. So Gaga was doing roughly 2× Katy and 2.5× Beyoncé even before the album dropped. - And longevity is strong too. On September 11, 2026: Gaga is at 17.08M/day compared to Katy 16.74M/day (after world cup boost) and Beyoncé's 13.90M/day. Gaga is still ahead of both despite MAYHEM being 18 months old AND having less songs too. 6. DWAS is one of the biggest hits of ALL TIME: -201 days at #1 on Spotify Global, the all-time record. Previous record was Dance Monkey with 120 days. -95 separate days above 10M daily Spotify streams. Another Guinness record. Peak day: 11.62M. -Fastest song ever to 1B Spotify streams: 96 days. -Fastest song to 3B Spotify streams: ~410 days. -Spotify’s most-streamed song worldwide of 2025, around 1.7B streams during 2025 alone. -18 weeks #1 Billboard Global 200, one of the longest #1 runs in the chart’s history. -DWAS topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 5 non-consecutive weeks, spent 51 weeks in the Top 10 and 60 weeks on the chart overall, and finished as the #1 song on the 2025 Year-End Hot 100. 7. More records she achieved with MAYHEM: -Gaga became only the third artist ever after Michael and Janet Jackson to score multiple US #1 singles in three different decades: 2000s, 2010s, 2020s. -MAYHEM — 108.05M US on-demand streams first week, Gaga’s largest streaming week ever. -MAYHEM — 74,000 US vinyl copies first week, Gaga’s biggest vinyl week ever. -MAYHEM — first Gaga album to hit #1 on Billboard Top Streaming Albums. -MAYHEM finished #9 globally for 2025 on IFPI’s Global Album Chart. 8. The most successful touring of her career: The Fame Ball $3.2M — 71 shows The Monster Ball $227.4M — 203 shows — ~$1.12M/show Born This Way Ball $184–186M — 98 shows — ~$1.9M/show artRAVE $84M 79 shows — ~$1.1M/show Joanne World Tour $94.9M — 49 shows — ~$1.94M/show Chromatica Ball $112.4M — only 20 shows — $5.62M/show MAYHEM Ball $362.9M — 86 shows — ~$4.22M/show MAYHEM era including the Mexico City + Singapore pre-tour concerts — $419.5M — 93 shows — ~$4.51M/show. This makes the MAYHEM Ball the most profitable tour she ever did, even accounting for inflation: a whopping 419M including the pre-shows. This is also her third-biggest tour ever at 93 shows, just surpassed by BTWB and TMB. (inb4 this is bad because prices are high, yeah I get it and agree, but time and place please ) And it all started with Gagachella 9. Her work ethic was insane this era, she gave MAYHEM everything, in addition to the extensive touring, she promoted the album on TV or events multiple times: Dec 15, 2024 — Carpool Karaoke Christmas — Disease / Die With a Smile + older songs Feb 2, 2025 — Grammys — California Dreamin’ with Bruno Mars + Abracadabra video premiere Feb 9, 2025 — Super Bowl LIX — Hold My Hand Feb 14, 2025 — SNL50 Homecoming Concert — Shallow / Lonely Island medley Mar 7, 2025 — Good Morning America — MAYHEM interview Mar 8, 2025 — Saturday Night Live — Abracadabra + Killah, plus she hosted Mar 11, 2025 — Howard Stern — Perfect Celebrity + Abracadabra (radio/video rather than normal TV) May 3, 2025 — Copacabana / TV Globo + Multishow — full MAYHEM concert — 34.5M TV viewers in Brazil May 31, 2025 — Netflix Tudum — Zombieboy + Bloody Mary + Abracadabra Sep 7, 2025 — MTV VMAs — Abracadabra + The Dead Dance Sep 8, 2025 — Stephen Colbert — Vanish Into You Dec 1, 2025 — Stephen Colbert — Gaga interview / Colbert Questionert Feb 1, 2026 — Grammys — Abracadabra rock version Feb 8, 2026 — Super Bowl LX Halftime Show — surprise guest with Bad Bunny — “Die With a Smile” (salsa version) May 14, 2026 — Apple Music Live: MAYHEM Requiem — full concert special 10. She took home (almost) all the awards, all her wins this era: 2025 Grammys — Best Pop Duo/Group Performance — Die With a Smile 2026 Grammys — Best Pop Vocal Album — MAYHEM 2026 Grammys — Best Dance Pop Recording — Abracadabra 2025 VMAs — Artist of the Year — Lady Gaga 2025 VMAs — Best Collaboration — Die With a Smile 2025 VMAs — Best Direction — Abracadabra 2025 VMAs — Best Art Direction — Abracadabra 2025 Sports Emmy Awards — Outstanding Music Direction — Super Bowl LIX: “Hold My Hand” 2025 American Music Awards — Collaboration of the Year — Die With a Smile 2025 American Music Awards — Favorite Music Video — Die With a Smile 2025 American Music Awards — Favorite Dance/Electronic Artist — Lady Gaga 2025 iHeartRadio Awards — Best Collaboration — Die With a Smile 2026 iHeartRadio Awards — Dance Album of the Year — MAYHEM 2024 NRJ Music Awards — International Collaboration — Die With a Smile 2025 NRJ Music Awards — International Female Artist — Lady Gaga 2025 NYLON Nights Awards — Tour of the Year — The MAYHEM Ball 2026 Ticketmaster Awards France — International Concert of the Year — The MAYHEM Ball 2026 Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild — Best Makeup, Commercials/Music Videos — Abracadabra 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards — Album of the Year — MAYHEM 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards — Record of the Year — Abracadabra 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards — Social Change Moment of the Year — Gagachella 3 Grammys, 4 VMAs, 3 AMAs, 2 iHeart wins, 2 NRJs, 1 Emmy, plus tour/video/editorial awards. And reminder she is now a Tony away from an EGOT. most of this information was compiled from the 2 chart threads that include everything from the era: gagadaily.com/forums/topic/414503-official-charts-thread/ (the old one) gagadaily.com/forums/topic/420287-official-charts-thread/ (this one) I realize now that this post is HUGE And tbf, blame gaga not me It was nice to almost relive some of these moments hopefully this post is usefull for people that want information about something in particular but don't want to spend hours searching for everything Edited September 14 by lastpopicon The melody that you choose can rescue you 3 6 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastpopicon 37,533 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Abracadabra on Global Spotify: Day 1: 4,917,207 (#8) Day 2: 5,951,162 (#5) Day 3: 6,184,120 (#5) Day 4: 6,355,221 (#5) Day 5: 8,450,162 (#2) Day 6: 7,240,006 (#5) Day 7: 6,154,044 (#5) Day 8: 6,687,740 (#7) Day 9: 6,269,827 (#9) remembering this insane run if this was today Abra would be #1 on Spotify global for 1 week (dwas notwithstanding ). And on the Hot 100, Abra's peak would be #3 today instead of #13, yeah that's right Abra is a far, far bigger hit than the USA peak suggests, it was just terrible timing, especially because of the Kendrick /Drake beef and the subsequent Super Bowl that boosted Kendrick to the stratosphere. The competition was very fierce, at one point Kendrick had half of the top 10 for himself... still not fully over that tbh, she got robbed of an even better USA performance because two grown straight (?) men wrote poems to each other. Still a global and USA hit regardless, just awful timing in the USA. The melody that you choose can rescue you 6 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
