https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-albums-2025-1235342974/lady-gaga-mayhem-1235343021/ Rolling Stone calls Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM “the year’s strongest pop release yet” and includes it in their best albums of 2025 (so far) list: “In the lead-up to Lady Gaga’s latest album, MAYHEM, there was a lot of talk about Gaga returning to her roots. For Little Monsters, it’s been too long. MAYHEM is the type of fan service that doesn’t dilute the artist herself. Gaga feels like her most authentic self from start to finish on this album: There’s no characters, concepts, or aesthetic impulses overshadowing the songs. Instead, she’s made one of her most sonically challenging and uniform albums yet: a mix of Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Prince and her Fame Monster-era self, rolled into the year’s strongest pop release yet.”

Someone’s happy

Ray of Light is literally the best pop album I have ever listened to and Skin is my favorite.

the fact that Judas is OUTLASTING brand new lead singles from “streaming giants” is absolutely insane to me. she has residency in the top 200 for like a month now, while people’s lead singles with radio deal and playlist payola LEAVE the chart immediately after debuting.

Stunning cover art omg

Hopefully there's a Fergaissance on the horizon. They need her. Don’t Phunk With My Heart, Pump It, Let’s Get It Started, Dum Diddley, Hey Mama, Shut Up, My Humps, Where Is The Love… when they were good, they were soooo good.

Happy Switch 2 day! have fun! The day is finally here, we waited 5 years for that, since the first switch pro rumor and here we are we have mayhem and switch 2 now

I haven't heard it, so this is an unqualified opinion - but trust me, it's accurate: At best, it's this generation's Stars are Blind

Mayhem is truly one of the most endearing yet stratospheric releases by an MPG, capturing everything that made the artist a living legend, incorporating every key inspiration in their creative life, yet making it incredibly forward-facing, fresh and wholesome. It's a gift that will keep on giving. I'm so very proud of Gaga and I cannot wait to see all the amazing things she will do next. It truly feels like a new beginning

atp they should add Judas to TTH and send it to radio

Katy wants so badly to be a fashion icon like Rita Ora but she just can't cut it

Raecists found dead in a ditch

Liddos~~ Recently, I saw that you guys were predicting what the next single from Mayhem should be, and I wanted to share some thoughts on that. After the impact of Abracadabra, I really think this era needs at least two more singles. From what I’ve seen, the contenders seem to be Vanish Into You, How Bad Do U Want Me, and maybe Garden of Eden. However, you should take note that the music landscape is shifting. Since 2024, most of the songs that have had long-lasting success on the charts tend to have slower tempos, simpler melodies, and emotional, relatable lyrics. These are performing better than the louder, more experimental tracks—especially on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. That said, Abracadabra is actually doing great despite going against that trend, which makes it all the more impressive. After the release of Abracadabra, which truly showcases Gaga’s signature eccentric, experimental side, many fans (including myself) are wondering: What’s next? What should be the next single off Mayhem? I’d like to throw in my two cents and say: “How Bad Do U Want Me” is the strongest candidate for the next single, especially right now. Here’s why: 🌍 Global Streaming Trends Have Shifted Since around 2024, we’ve seen a noticeable shift in what kind of music dominates global charts. Take a look at Die With a Smile, Bird of a Feather, and Ordinary. They’re about love, longing, vulnerability — and they’ve managed to stay on top of international charts for weeks or even months. This shows that listeners (especially casual ones) are leaning toward songs that are easy to stream, easy to replay, and easy to feel connected to. “How Bad Do U Want Me” Fits the Trend Perfectly This track might not scream “classic Gaga” to some, but that’s exactly what makes it special. It also has huge potential in the Asian markets, where ballads and gentle love songs have always performed well. Just look at the streaming numbers from Southeast Asia for similar songs — Die With a Smile became an unexpected smash in these regions. ☀️ Potential Summer Hit or Slow-Burn Chart Climber Even if How Bad Do U Want Me doesn’t hit #1 overnight, it could be a slow-burn success, staying on the charts for a long time. Its streaming-friendly structure, emotional appeal, and broad reach could make it one of the standout tracks this summer — and a great move to balance the chaos of Abracadabra with something more introspective. Final Thought Choosing How Bad Do U Want Me as the next single isn’t playing it safe — it’s playing it smart. Gaga has always known how to read the room, and this could be her way of connecting with a broader audience again without compromising artistry.

Born This Way has finally hit 16,000,000 total EAS

it has 51 consecutive days in global spotify top 200 having NEVER charted before Coachella

It's really insane how judas resurfaced, it's charting since coachella and outlasted bad romance, just dance, paparazzi on the Spotify charts.

Honestly even if she doesn't release a new single, I'm so grateful for this album like holy hell thank god she realized she is an S-tier celebrity & artist. I will never tired of these songs

I love how you can clearly tell when did Gaga emerge to the scene

Most streamed tracks on Spotify #62 (+1) DWAS #63 (-1) Let Her Go

me when i think my enjoyment of children's books is more important than supporting our trans allies from violence and death

black oesus amen fashion

well first of all, it needs a hit

This is ****ing sick Jesus christ

Just found this and haven't seen it before and thought I share with the rest of the class. Too lazy to type it all, sorryyyyy

Judas said f!ck #1 hits, im a signature Gaga hit

So! I was just listening to Mayhem for the first time (today, its 6:48am) on my way to the gym. By the point I reached GoE I thought "huh, this woman is really out there, sonically and creatively" and for a second it took me back to a time where this was widely known and accepted that „Gaga isn't for the masses, shes weird, shes out there, shes for the gays" and then I wondered even more: How much of this thinking is still left in people today? I know I was low-key bullied back in school for liking Gaga, she is still one of very few pop-girlies who's vocal about the queer and especially trans-community and so on, so I can only imagine the majority in a rightwing county as the US just doesn't fvck with her - not like other pop stars who still portray a sense of Americana where you can apply a certain level of delusion, so you're able to stream their music and vote for a fascist. What do you think? Is there still an „ick-factor" to Gaga or did she win people over once she was critically acclaimed, have times just changed and did people justgot used to her? Cause boy oh boy, there still isn't anyone out there who even does remotely what Gaga and her team are doing. ANYWHO! happy thursday <3

i feel like her GP appeal is at an all time high rn - people are so in awe of her talent rn the charts arent reflecting her success during TF/TFM, but as a society, i feel like most people respect her talent more so than they ever have before.

wait is that a lana song?

Billboard: Born This Way is the greatest LGBTQ+ anthem of all time! Inspired by the empowering music of the ‘90s, Gaga told Billboard that she wanted to create a “freedom record” that didn’t beat around the bush: “I want to write my this-is-who-the-f–k-I-am anthem, but I don’t want it to be hidden in poetic wizardry and metaphors.” She followed through, with lyrics like, “No matter gay, straight or bi / Lesbian, transgendered life / I’m on the right track, baby / I was born to survive.” Fans responded positively, as the song debuted at No.1 on the Hot 100 and remained there for six weeks.

Do we remember Blackiana?

sis she gleefully tramples over the dignity of trans people when she purposefully misgenders them, it's like she enjoys denying them the dignity they ask for. she doesn't have to agree and is allowed her own opinions and I support a queen who has the BALLS, no pun intended, to do that. however contentious her position. but she doesn't argue in good faith. that should be everybody's dividing line.

Birds Of A Feather Or as someone else said a few pages back: BOring As F**k

I’ve already decided that this is going to be the album of my summer, also I loved the first three singles. - Sincerely a new Marina stan.

Extended Midweek Billboard Hot 100 Predictions (chart dated June 14th, 2025) i missed this, Abra holds strong on the chart at #42, with still uncounted airplay.

It'll still boost the album, even if the single doesn't chart/chart well. Look at 911 and John Wayne streams for instance, compared to the other album tracks from those albums. They both have much higher streams than the other songs, even though they were 'half' singles. On another note, MAYHEM is gonna look so good at the end of the year - Disease, Debra, GOE, VIY, HBDUWM, and DWAS will all 'hopefully' have 100m+ streams

And the crowd went mild. But seriously… no one moved.

Spotify playlist reach HBDUWM 30,5M GOE 23,9M VIY 10,4M

Imo the run from Disease to ZB is really where the magic happens and the KILLAH hate is mostly coming from folks who don’t listen to much outside of top 40 pop, but that’s just me

wish I could unread some of these posts... this woman deserves a better fanbase
