what an amazing follow up to previously amazing year 

 

can’t wait to see what she does with her next album !!

[River 118,452]

but she didn't have hits this year 

Manchild was forced into our ears because of payola not because we wanted to listen to it

Tears is nowhere to be found, the payola money is over it seems.

[NemoMyName 929]

Payola of the Year

[RAMROD 110,542]

Variety did what??

 

Not Gaga with the ABRACADABRA?!!

[4th Time Around 4,579]

Sabrina's album came and went. Not only that but it received more lukewarm reception than Short and Sweet. Mayhem has been both a critical and commerical success along with Gaga's headline making performances at Coachella and Rio. She's a clear favorite at the upcoming awards season for a reason.

I love Man's Best Friend, its one of my top 3 pop releases this year, but it doesn't touch Mayhem.

[ALGAYDO 33,247]

They’re so wrong but so loud 

[zevthepaparazzo 664]

[scheisseJK 2,727]

Every single she released since her breakthrough went minimum #3, the lead single of this record went #1 and her latest 2 albums went #1. Define hit.

[Killa 17,757]

Tears might have much much more streams but tò me the dead dance Is bigger lol. Mans child Is completely forgotten

Where are these hits you talk about. The streams and radio plays from the last album? Lol

Your claim was about her not having a hit and you not hearing her songs this year. So I asked you how you define a hit, nobody was talking about quality. 
 

If releasing 4 songs (in 10 days the 5th joins them) with over 1b streams in 3 years, and having 5 Top 5 songs with more than 30 weeks charting  (in only 1,5 years) doesn’t define having hits, again, enlighten me, what exactly is a hit? What is your merit?
