'MAYHEM' is No. 3 on Billboard's staff ranking of the Best Albums of 2025

[ManMan 2,625]

Lady Gaga's 'MAYHEM' is No. 3 on Billboard's staff ranking of the Best Albums of 2025.

Despite its chaotic title, Gaga's 14-track project ended up as one of her most cohesive and fully realized yet, exploring themes of fame, identity and ultimately love (romantic and self-worth alike) through the lens of disorder.

Lady Gaga might have given her sixth studio album a chaotic title, but the 14-track project ended up as one of her most cohesive and fully realized yet, exploring themes of fame, identity and ultimately love (romantic and self-worth alike) through the lens of disorder. What seemed especially cohesive was the response from Little Monsters and pop fans at large, who praised Gaga for returning to form while also pushing her sound into the future; as the Lady herself told Billboard‘s Stephen Daw earlier this year, her hope was that “it wouldn’t be exactly what you’ve heard from me before, but there is the DNA of my approach to pop music.” It all led to her longest-reigning Hot 100 hit in more than a decade (the five-week No. 1 Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile”) and seven Grammy nominations (including album of the year). If this is Gaga’s definition of MAYHEM, long live our chaotic queen. – K.A.

LUX is brilliant, thank God it wasn't released during the eligibility period for this year.

DTMF the song is amazing, for me tied with Abracadabra as song of the year. The album tho, nothing special...

I'll never get the Bad Bunny hype. That raggaetton thing has nothing on me. 

[KeepOnSwimming 927]

Tbh I am fine with LUX being placed higher than Mayhem. Rosalìa really deserves all the flowers with that artistic masterpiece of an album.
