Let’s make “The Fame” #1 in 2028

[gagzus 21,336]

The Fame is STILL 18 years later in the top 100 on the Billboard 200 (currently at 72 I believe) but it only peaked at #2. 
 

For the 20 year anniversary we should band together and stream and buy TF outta it to make it hit #1 even if it’s just for a week because I HATE seeing that THE defining electronic dance pop album of the 21st century only peaked at #2.

I wonder if Gagita will do anything for the 20th anniversary like she did for the 10 years of BTW? Id love to see an album of covers/modernised re-recorded versions either featuring artists that she inspired (Doechii, Chappell, Sam Smith, Cardi B etc)  with a modern flair and maybe THAT could hit #1.

thoughts opinions musings?

It's kind of iconic though no? Her debut peaked at #2, arguably her biggest song peaked at #2, she's iconic despite rarely being THE chart topper

I want a reissue of The Fame with all the unreleased tracks

The longest charting Electronic Dance Album of all time too

Not sure if that’s likely to happen unless they release a great vinyl repressing for the 20th year edition on a dead sales week (even so, US monsters are barely hardcore buyers). But sure

Also to add just remembered she also has the longest running #1 song on the world wide chart of all time with Bruno

I think it’d be a good way to tie us over after LG8’s era ends while she gets preggers

That's a great idea, is there a way I could buy a copy as if I were in the States?

I think a VPN and streaming the album a couple of times equals that

I could weirdly imagine Bolt Cutters era Fiona Apple covering Vanity on the piano with some unconventional, home made percussion so I think you might be onto something, sister

“Zelda Hallman, who’s a close friend and roommate of Apple’s, replied to the cover story on Billboard‘s Twitter with the singer’s reaction to Gaga’s support. ‘Fiona Apple is totally off the net these days but I read her what you said. She literally grasped her heart, teared up, and softly said; ‘Lady. You stood up for me.’ It was really sweet. Thank you for the kind words,‘ Hallman wrote.”
