Appreciation Thread for MAYHEM in the UK Charts

[27monster27 15,353]

We really deserve to give the UK props for how well Lady Gaga got treated there chart-wise during this era. (I don't have the data for the lower half of the chart lol. Sorry.)

MAYHEM (#1 peak, 34 weeks):

1-4-5-8-8-10-10-23-21-32-43-50-52-49-69-76-95 (Album release)

*break*

100

*break*

82-33-37-56-32-28-35-62-70-65-14-84-94-98-90 (The Dead Dance and bonus tracks on streaming)

*break*

80

MAYHEM had a strong chart life, including longevity, in the UK. The decision to do a "re-release" of the album with The Dead Dance and the bonus tracks really paid off.

Die With A Smile (#2 peak, 77 total weeks):

7-7-7-6-5-4-4-3-2-3-17-14-14-18-23-43-37-32-64-8-8-8-10-12-13-19-16-18-22-18-24-22-27-24-26-30-36-36-42-42-37-42-42-49-50-56-56-61-63-66-54-54-53-55-55-57-56-62-58-53-62-80-87

*break*

28-23-30-23-28-28-32-34-37-37-40-35-39-41

Yeah yeah it didn't hit #1, but the longevity was incredible. The song also had a top ten resurgence in January 2025, and it survived multiple of the UKs "halve points rule", which is something the song didn't have to deal with on the Hot 100!

Disease (#7 peak, 18 weeks)

7(!)-12-21-29-44-71-83-82

*break*

61-66-66-73-77-68-48-70-77-85

The UK was one of the only countries where Disease peaked in the top ten! Not to mention that Disease in the UK lasted longer on the chart than in many other countries.

----

Abracadabra (#3 peak, 17 weeks)

6-3-7-4-6-3-9-8-12-42-41-36-46-46-58-74-70

Eight weeks in the top ten with a top three peak! This was way better than the US, so people were definitely living for the song in the UK.

----

The Dead Dance

13-13-16-19-22-24-29-36-35-44-59-71

Stability and a decent peak. Definitely better than the US.

----

RUNWAY (#32 peak so far, one week so far)

32

A top 40 hit. I was hoping for more at the start, but this could change. This is still likely better than the US will do lbr.

----

Honorable Mention: Garden of Eden (#23 peak, eight weeks)

23-44-62-62-65-64-62-80

Umm hello?! Not a single yet this happened. #23 debut, eight total weeks, and it even briefly stabilized as an album track?! The UK was living. The UK only allows for three songs from one artist to chart at a time, so imagine what other album tracks may have done.

Honestly, the UK was treating her well this era, and in fact this is actually the best she has been treated there since Born This Way since that was the last time she had three top tens from one album (although unlike Chromatica she didn't get a number one, but eh). I'm happy that one of the biggest music markets other than the US was really pushing for this era. I wish this would've translated towards the 2026 brit awards , but hey we will take what we can get.
