I recently saw this reel on social media where Russian fans were having a listening party, which included some of her new tracks.

I remember Gaga being super popular in Russia but considering the current political climate, I was wondering if she's still popular over there?

Did Russian radio play any of the MAYHEM singles?

I read this. The government in Russia is truly becoming like North Korea. The people aren't guilty of anything, but Putin is the one ruining everything.

Regarding the topic, I think there are Russian Gaga fans and they even have the ability to listen to new songs via VPN.

So it turns out Russian radio still play Gaga's new music (for now). Here are the positions reached by the MAYHEM singles on the airplay chart:

Disease: #8

Die with a Smile: #44

Abracadabra: #1

The Dead Dance: #3

It's crazy that TDD was a bigger hit in Russia than DWAS!

Also, Abracadabra was the 119th most streamed song in Russia last year. This is actually really good considering most Western streaming services (e.g. Spotify) where Gaga has stronger numbers are now banned in Russia.

Russia is one of the countries giving dance music a chance? Do I dare to stan?

She probably had a steep decline in popularity like every other western artists probably has considering, y know, the sanctions.  And any fandom she has over there is likely niche.

She's definitely one of the strongest Western artists there.

Abracadabra almost cracking the top 100 most streamed songs last year while reaching #1 on the radio airplay chart shows how popular she still is over there...
