You’re just wrong, none of these is good. 1989 and Rep are okay, I’ll give you that

nah

I can smell your sickness I can...

I doubt it does :laughga: The GP doesn’t give af, Taylor Swift always had bad album covers and they still managed to sell a lot

absolutely insane that we can boldly call a number 1 album a flop

Rightly or wrongly ARTPOP is a well-documented flop. Yes, it probably didn’t deserve that title because it sold well but we know it was seen as a big underperformance for her at that time. 
 

Taylor has some bad covers but they are still quite safe and inoffensive. Being totally honest the ARTPOP cover is a complete mess.

well no, it's not a well documented flop

it was a false narrative that it was a flop just because the tide had turned against her at the time

the documentation will actually tell you it was one of the best performing albums of the year, bar it's second single but for some reason, the goal posts for a flop are completely different for lady gaga than her peers

lady gaga's "flop" are most people's goal

mother, what must i do?

red, midnights and 1989 are good albums covers, design wise

the rest are god awful

reputation really is just embarrassing

definitely not, suprised to see this posted on a gaga fan website… i love the cover a lot, it’s simple and tells you a lot about the record in my opinion. it’s a little throwback to earlier album covers. joanne and chromatica are much worse.

yeah it's not her worst; i do think there's better more expressive shots from this shoot, though, that i may have gone w. idk i get the choice bc it mirrors TF's cover and being that this goes back to that early sound, i get it, buuuut it's kind of just, "oh that's a cool parallel" not really moving me.

I remember when this came out, there was this rumour going around that the album was going to completely feature all-female collab partners (hence the Certified Lover Boy title) and that all the emojis represented the look of each of these women (suggesting that Drake slept with all of them and got them pregnant). And there was also a simultaneous rumour that Gaga was going to be one of them and GGD was trying to work out if Gaga was the white blonde one! And we were even getting overly nit picky, wondering if it was her because she's a natural brunette! :brat: When it all came out that no, this was all false and it was just a regular Drake album, it was weirdly such a letdown as I think the concept was actually good and would've made up for the cringey title and cover. But alas, Drake remains totally predictable and boring. Of course, a few years later, I'm now so glad Gaga never had anything to do with him. The rumour that the art accurately portrayed all Drake's real baby mamas that have never been revealed in the press bar one gave this art a very sinister edge as well.

The hairdo of the one on the left makes her look like an alien! In fact, all of them look like aliens, including their outfits! The title also makes it difficult to read its tone - is it "Jesus, use me" in a devoutly religious way or is it "Jesus, use me!" in a depraved, pervy way? :sharon:

The way I read "TRUMP" at first glimpse while scrolling 💀

 

Not the worst of all time, but I think it's a shame that Adéla went with… this for her debut album:
ab67616d0000b273ac9d5d5263e9f03802d6864c

I get what she was going for (she explained it well during her Zane Lowe interview), but there's not a single thing I'd save about this. She obviously has a long and successful career ahead of her, and you'd think she (or her team) would choose a more iconic/striking cover for her DEBUT 🥲 The "dove" variant is soooo much better.

Love Ayu down, especially her bad covers.

^It’s been hard defending this one but I finally concede, the font is giving balloon energy.

The Special Edition qualifies for the best deluxe glow up though.

The single covers were iconic too, Judas had to be on the moodboard for Charli’s brat cover.

That is not a mess, it is chaotic but attractive
