Down with billionaires.

Voters are selling on ebay the promotional box sets they received for Harlequin and MAYHEM Grammy campaigns. The box sets also include two letters written by Gaga

Go to your hell demon

The book has been officially delivered Thank you again to my bestie @ChicaSkas and the talented @antonique (for the third time I think? ). It was seriously great working on this project with the two of you. Rallying our little pocket community and transferring the devotion, stories, and love of GGD's Monsters to the page for Gaga to physically hold in those talented hands of hers is probably the coolest thing I've ever been a part of. And thank you to the 100+ people that sent a letter. I hope our stories find a permanent place on Mother Monster's bookshelf I love you all!

CEO Michael Rapino and Smith Entertainment Group CEO Ryan Smith said this week that live events are more central than ever to culture and commerce in a post-pandemic world. According to Goldman Sachs, the live music industry is expected to grow at a 7.2% compounded annual rate through 2030, fueled by Millennials and Gen Z. Smith bought the NBA’s Utah Jazz in 2020 and launched a new NHL franchise in the state in 2024. “In sports, we’re really media companies,” Smith said. “We’ve got talent, we’ve got distribution. We’re putting on a show or a wedding or something every night.” Rapino also emphasized how the economics of music have shifted. With streaming revenue dwarfed by touring income, live shows have become a primary source of revenue for artists. “The artist is going to make 98% of their money from the show,” he said. “We just did Beyonce’s tour. She’s got 62 transport trucks outside. That’s a Super Bowl she’s putting on every night.” Despite headlines about rising ticket prices, Rapino argued that concerts are still underpriced compared to sporting events. “In sports, I joke it’s like a badge of honor to spend [$70,000] for Knicks courtside,” Rapino said. “When you read about the ticket prices going up, it’s still an average concert price [of] $72. Try going to a Laker game for that, and there’s 80 of them [in a season].” The cost of admission for movies, theaters and concerts rose 3.4% in August from a year earlier, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ consumer price index data, outpacing the full index’s increase of 2.9%. Meanwhile, the cost of admission for sporting events last month fell 0.5%, compared to the same time last year. Rapino also said technology, including AI-driven ticketing, could make buying tickets smoother. “Most websites are going to be challenged in the future, as you’re going to use that chatbot,” Rapino said. “We think ticketing, and how you find that ticket and how you can get that ticket, needs to be improved.” https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/17/live-nation-ceo-demand-concert-tickets-underpriced.html

The first episode of the 2nd season of "High Potential," on Disney+, starts with "Abracadabra" The biggest solo song of 2025 yup yup, roty and soty worthy yup yup.

By the time the forum loads this ain't news anymore

Radio Overall 78+2 Lady Gaga - The Dead Dance 12.510 (+0.390)

I gasped. Judas Spotify streams growth: May 2020 — 100M Sep 2025 — 940M 🔥 That is thanks to JJK/anime fans for making Judas trend on TikTok. Also, Lady Gaga's Coachella gave it a peak on both Spotify Global & Billboard Global charts. SHE IS AHEAD OF HER TIME INDEED.

Spotify daily Top Artists #12 (+1) Lady Gaga oh this is a good omen

She'll be back in 19 years

Abracadabra crosses 190M views on YouTube.

Insane achievement, I think it can probably beat BTW, which would be wild and really put into perspective how massive this era is.

she needs to pull a Carly Rae and give us MAYHEM Side B

This took me out

I agree. Gaga deserves the highest grossing tour of all time. Open up those piggy banks and purchase for once @theentirefanbase.

Analysis to Total Chart Points: New figures (Sep 14, 2025) Candle In The Wind 1997: 21,314,000 (no further growth, song is “closed”) Blinding Lights: 21,290,000 (same) Die With A Smile: 19,714,000 Growth of Die With A Smile Previous total (Sep 7, 2025): 19,541,000 New total (Sep 14, 2025): 19,714,000 → +173,000 in one week So the track is still gaining over 150k per week, even after earlier signs of decline. Gap to close vs. Blinding Lights: 21,290,000 − 19,714,000 = 1,576,000 points vs. Candle In The Wind: 21,314,000 − 19,714,000 = 1,600,000 points Time needed at current pace At +173k per week: 1,576,000 ÷ 173,000 ≈ 9.1 weeks Expected crossover: mid-November 2025, when Die With A Smile should surpass both Blinding Lights and Candle In The Wind to become #1 all-time. 👉 Conclusion: Despite slight downward trends, the weekly increase is still strong (+173k). If this pace continues, Die With A Smile will likely reach #1 on the all-time chart by mid-November 2025. Conclusion: DWAS will become the highest charting song of all time (if nothing weird happens before that time)

It was so genius of Gaga to open Coachella/The Art of Personal Chaos with Bloody Mary to Abracadabra to Judas. That was so serious & HUGE. These 3 hits TRENDED ONLINE THIS DECADE, it was a perfect way to reconnect with early fans AND connect with new fans from another generation. Thank goodness she stayed with that perfect opening from Coachella to THE MAYHEM Ball. Spotify streams for those 3 dark-pop hits: Title - Total streams (+daily) Judas - 940,365,915 (+924,909) Bloody Mary - 710,987,195 (+462,345) Abracadabra - 564,923,765 (+1,118,413) Come through Halloween boost.

I don't understand why people say that Abracadabra is the only song that harkens back to her "signature style". To me, every song sounds like classic Gaga, even the less popular ones like Don't Call Tonight. Gaga is a multi faceted artist and she's at home in a plethora of genres. I dont get why people try to place her in a synthpop shaped box when she's done so much more from the very beginning of her career ALSO If the whole thing was dark industrial electronic pop, y'all would have complained that it's repetitive. We have 3 disco funk songs (Zombieboy, TDD and Kill for Love) and that's too much for some people. The first 4-5 songs stand out because there is contrast on the album.

She also said this in the Zane Lowe interview, I think. Would love to hear what else she worked on tbh. Give us some tracks from the vault, sister!!

Spotify Global #9(+1) DWAS - 3,416,628 #42(-3) TDD - 2,188,859 #178(-6) Poker Face - 1,206,557 #193 Abracadabra - 1,183,425 (Re-Entry) full update.

These boxes look so good I feel like it's so rude to sell these gifts on eBay

I am still sad I didn't join in on this. i was very suicidal back then and didn't want to write her that, now my life changed and would do anything to let her know I'm fine

F*ck YOU, you sick twisted WHITE DEMON

I love it all. And anyone who feels like the rest of the music isn’t signature Gaga music is clearly discounting the vast majority of her catalogue. For every Poker Face, there’s a Money Honey and The Fame (the song). But I also could use more Abra and Disease like music.

Well, nevermind, it was just for this:

The opinions in this topic are so wrong lol MAYHEM is a solid album, probably her best After 7 months I can say which songs I like more than others but there's no bad song in this album

This got me dizzy for nothing “Look at the top corner, now the dress, now the bottom corner”

My mom works at Spotify and she told me they send everyone on vacation mode before Taylor drops album

"The Dead Dance" Stats on TikTok (24 hours later) Views: 370 Million (+21 Million) Likes: 40.4 Million (+2.4 Million) Shares: 1.53M (+280K) Comments: 171k (+16K) Videos: 124.1K (+10.7k)

Im sorry but the Mayhem Ball is probably the last concert ill keep on trying really hard to attend from a a-list contender. And that’s all because it’s Gaga, I mean, I’m a true fan who’s here through all the good and the bad and also for the love I have for her and her art. Otherwise, if industry is gonna keep going with it this way, then no more money coming from me.

No

My ideal Mayhem includes no Abracadabra so I disagree. I would like more songs like Perfect Celebrity, Shadow of a Man and Vanish Into You though.

Global #42(-3) TDD - 2,188,859

B*tch be so for real!

And we wont be watching because we're boycotting Disney +

And GoE is actually the best performing album track now Like it should tbh.

Lol Including WAP as the DWAS of the album to make sure it won't flop

they dropped Bebe Rexha because they couldn't have 2 queens of pop under the same label

I think most people heard Disease and Abracadabra and thought that Mayhem would sound like those two songs. People heard that it was "Gaga's return to her dark-pop roots", immediately thought of TFM & BTW and ran with it. They got disappointed it wasn't exactly that and got a bit salty. But that happens with each Gaga drop, doesn't it? Of course this doesn't apply to everyone, but that's my takeaway from the fans who voiced how they felt let down. Personally, I think it's perfect as is and the inclusion of CSTH, TDD & KFL made Mayhem sound even more whole, if that makes sense.
