Did Blackout walk the The Fame could run?

Blackout's impact wasn't really influential in immediate pop culture. It was also a critically mixed received album upon its release and was very much on current trends with the production choices, despite it being a departure from her sound up to that point. In fact, I'd make the argument it was following what Nelly Furtado did on Loose. The Fame was actually the shift in sound away from what was being done where there was a shift in radio. Not to mention, it was released at a time where its very unlikely Gaga and RedOne were actively working on it. It was likely either being mastered or vinyls were beginning to be pressed.

Nah.

The Fame was certainly not the first dance pop album of the era. As others have said, Confessions arguably kickstarted the move to dance pop, Timberland embeded it. 

The Fame, however, was the album that cemented dance pop's dominance for that era of pop music. And it set the style rulebook for it.

Kylie's Fever kickstarted it imo, Madonna was influenced by Fever to created Confessions.

Its a real shame Kylie's label pushed her to rnb with body language, another dance pop record and I think she'd have cracked America.

yeah she had such a good momentum.

As much as I love Come Into My World, it was not a great choice either, especially after 2 strong singles.

She re-defined pop music, music videos and fashion with this album.
