Watch: Was Lady Gaga's Rio concert really attended by 2.1m people? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm20rg0vvp9o After a reader wondered if 2.1 million people could really have seen Lady Gaga at Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach in May, BBC Verify looked into it. The Lady Gaga concert was paid for by the seaside city in an attempt to revitalise its economy. Fans reportedly travelled from all across the country to see the grandiose performance, which was expected to bring in more than $100m (£75m) to the local economy. Rio officials heralded the 2.1 million attendance as a triumph. However, careful analysis by the BBC Verify team and a crowd density expert reveal it is highly improbable the claims are accurate. Instead, it would require the entire length of the beach, rather than a section, to comfortably fit more than two million people. Despite the BBC's findings, city officials have maintained their claims. They have not however explained how their data was measured.

DWAS has now been in the top 10 of Billboard 100 for 45 weeks, and is now the longest charting top 10 duet hit in Billboard history! It beats Justin Bieber and The Kid Laroi‘s “Stay” which had 44 weeks in the top ten. DWAS is now also the 4th longest topten hit overall, behind Lose Control, Bar Song, and Blinding Lights. Go Gaga still breaking records and giving Mayhem a truly classic GP hit! https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2025/07/09/lady-gaga-beats-one-of-justin-biebers-most-impressive-records/
