Critically acclaimed and Grammy-winning song "Die with a Smile" was released 2 years ago The song enjoyed widespread commercial success. On Spotify, it became the longest-reigning daily number-one song, the fastest track to surpass three billion streams, and the most-streamed song of 2025. The track spent 18 weeks atop the Billboard Global 200 and topped the charts in more than 30 countries, including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. 'Die With a Smile’ stands as one of the most successful songs of the 2020s and one of the five biggest hits of Lady Gaga’s career, an incredible feat achieved 16 years after her breakthrough in 2008.

This look has always kinda scared me because that woman is an imposter. It’s definitely not Gaga. It’s some Slavic woman in her 50s…

God forbid she's honest. Why are some of these comments so bitter lol

Very disgusting song/ugly moment. I think we all knew it would be a flop, but i was surprised (in a good way) by how fast people forgot about it

Spotify has announced a new feature intended to label AI artist profiles on the platform. The tool will begin to roll out in mid-September, Spotify said on Tuesday, working as a badge that will appear on the mobile app on artist profiles, as well as in search and on track rows on playlists. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-industry-news/spotify-announces-ai-personas-feature-1236670607/

Nah, I think it’s an excellent intro and the medley of BM -> Abra -> Judas -> Aura -> Scheisse is godly as is

The slop should be outright banned, tbf, but this is a decent half-measure

"This" as in, this thread? Yeah, absolute mistake. TMB intro is perfect

the way this song ended her #1 singles streak but now is blowing up... lol but also ugh we need speechless to go viral or something

3 pages of joint psychosis, magical

Shoulda been a donut

TEXT: Two economists mathematically proved that AI will destroy the economy. Researchers from Wharton and Boston University published a terryfiying paper called "The AI Layoff Trap." They mapped out the economic end-game of the AI transition, and it exposes a fatal flaw in competitive capitalism. When a company replaces a worker with AI, it captures 100% of the wage savings. But that displaced worker is also a consumer. When they lose their job, they stop buying things. The company gets all the savings, but the loss of consumer demand is spread across the entire economy. If there are 20 competitors in a market, a CEO only absorbs 1/20th of the economic damage their layoffs just created. So every single rational CEO has a mathematical incentive to automate as fast as possible. They can literally see the cliff approaching, and they still step on the gas. It triggers an unavoidable Prisoner’s Dilemma. If you don't automate, your competitors will, and they will crush you on price. It doesn't just hurt workers. It destroys the businesses, too. The economy gets trapped in an automation arms race. Companies fire their workforce to stay competitive, until the entire consumer base is completely hollowed out. At the limit, the paper concludes: “Firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand.” And the scariest part? The researchers mathematically tested every popular fix. Universal Basic Income? Fails. It raises the living standard but doesn't change the corporate incentive to cut jobs. Retraining? Fails. Worker equity? Fails. The paper proves that more competition actually makes the collapse happen faster. And "better" AI makes the damage worse. The only thing that mathematically stops the collapse is a targeted automation tax, forcing companies to pay for the purchasing power they destroy before they automate the job.

Is AI rise a threat to @Economy?

Madonna turns 68 today! What's your favorite album from her? Mine will always gonna to be Rebel Heart.

They should ban it from streaming platforms honestly. It annoys me so much when I go to YouTube music's new music page and there's a ton of AI music for no ****ing reason.

oh wow that's a great idea

can't wait for the thread about her undergoing tattoo removal in about 13 months

Mayhem Ball: Part Deux!!!! The Opera Haus was BURNING UP at the end of the show! Welcome back the flames TCB but in an arena! Bring that bread

Jackson winning Maine.

@mods There's this thread called "ChromatiGa performs Bloody Mary for festival" but when I click on it, I get redirected to Ladle Ghoulash and NUTELLA's DM conversation, is this some kind of bug?

One of the many songs of her career. Here’s to that!

Wow it got ugly for a bit in here. Regarding the religion argument - trying to deny the homophobia present in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam based on scripture is fruitless, because said scripture contains clear prohibitions of sodomy and debauchery, which were and still are used to prosecute gay people. The Torah contains the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, which is relevant in both Christianity and Islam as well. Individual religious practitioners and worshipers, as well as congregations, can be accepting of the LGBT community, however. This goes for every religion, so long as that congregation, school of thought, or individual person makes that tolerance a part of their belief system. I was raised in a Reform and later Conservative Jewish congregation, where everyone was accepting of me and of gay rights. Similarly, I've had Catholic coworkers who were very accepting of me (and very liberal in general, I'll add). Their faith in God- did not extend to them hating people different than them. Since the topic was brought up, Islam is a more interesting subject in the 21st century, but not because of anything inherent in its teachings that is not also present in Judaism or Christianity. Most Muslim majority nations are either developing or least developed nations, have an authoritarian or otherwise controlling, oppressive government, or both. These factors lead countries and the groups of people within their borders to be very intolerant - essentially, the same factors that make the majority Christian nations of Uganda, South Sudan, and Russia dangerous for LGBT rights make countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. Lack of education, opportunity, and infrastructure pushes people toward religion as a savior, especially under tyrannical governments with corrupt leaders. Unfortunately, there is not currently a significant enough liberal school of thought in Islam to counteract the gravity and prevalence of Salafism/Wahhabism, two extremely fundamentalist interpretations which are outright banned in some European jurisdictions due to being at odds with their country's constitutions. This is not helped by the rise of terror groups that spread propaganda online about Western nations and values, and the fact that Saudi Arabia and Iran fund mosques and Islamic schools in the West and in doing so incorporate fundamentalist teachings into their curricula. That is not to say that a liberal Islam is not possible - it is, and many politicans in the US such as Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, and Rashia Tlaib are at the forefront of it. All that said, I am truly blessed to be living in a country so comparatively tolerant to my nature, and it's enraging when bigots make themselves known. **** Gwen Stefani If anyone wants to correct me on any of my argument feel free, I'm always open to learning

She’s just doing it for the love of the game. I kinda respect it.

i was in psychosis idk what to say

who I though of when I read Oli Jacob

I actually love ARTPOP. Brat just follows through on its ideas in a way ARTPOP never quite did.

Imagine receiving the Album of the Year with The Fame with that oh It looks fine without the face stickers but the one with it looks more eye-catching

Definitely feels very Marilyn Manson now that I think about it

I’m sorry but this girl is a damn mess I hope she gets help and real help because a nice d*ck is not help

girl...

Glad everyone is getting along 💚💚💚

Ikr like she wasn't even complaining, she was explaining and answering questions

The graphics look very Katy Perry

Yes and a happy one

what the **** is wrong with her hair all the time

This feels passive aggressive You know gays can't read

And if I said there would be no BRAT without ARTPOP?

676k difference with BOAF once again, the lead is increasing

We dont talk enough about: http://www.mediatraffic.de/alltime-track-chart.htm

Pop Base is always so full of words when it comes to Gaga... _ But anyway, happy 2nd anniversary to the song that made history, that made it CLEAR that the GP LOVES Gaga and Bruno and that it showed us that GOOD SONGS can still being created.

Thank you so much, I've been thinking about this stuff since I was 16. It just never made sense to me when Redditors and influencers would act like Islam itself was the issue when the Qur'an mentions homosexuality directly a grand total of one time (I'm fairly sure), where it calls it an abomination, and I knew from my bar mitzvah readings that the Torah contains more or less the same, in addition to a bunch of other kinky sex stuff. (If you want to underscore it further, the Qur'an doesn't even call for execution, several hadith do, but those aren't the word of God, though they are considered strong hadith) It's unfortunate that some of the answers to these issues are in the power of our governments, like denying that funding from Saudi Arabia and Iran, but will never happen due to greed

Idk what I just watched but it DID reaffirm for me that Bloody Mary isn't "Bloody Mary" without the immaculate instrumental The acapella? It's not Bloody Mary Altered live versions? Not my Bloody Mary To reiterate: the special ingredient of Bloody Mary is the instrumental

Apparently Ethan Slater's new tattoo refuses to heal properly because of constant tears & night sweats
