Apple Music has chosen Abracadabra as the best pop song released this year! The song was added at #1 to the playlist “A-List Pop: Best of 2025”. Garden Of Eden is also featured at #7. The following text has been published by the streaming service: A-List Pop is your weekly guide to what’s on top in pop music—and 2025 was undeniably the year of Lady Gaga. It began with her appearance in a commercial during the Grammys, when Gaga teased a song that set the tone for her highly anticipated return and signalled that her seventh studio album MAYHEM was arriving soon. With its infectious and haunting chorus, “Abracadabra” cast a spell on 2025 and made it abundantly clear: Mother Monster was officially back. MAYHEM further solidified her status as a living legend as she returned to her pop roots and the sound that is so distinctly Gaga. During her world tour, The MAYHEM Ball, Gaga delivered a theatrical spectacle, once again showcasing that she is still very much one of the greatest performers of all time. And then there was her original track for Season 2 of Netflix’s Wednesday. “The Dead Dance” played a key role in the show, in addition to becoming a perfect song for the spooky season. “I always want to be remembered for being a real artist and someone who cares so much,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library, and remember, paws up for Gaga. https://x.com/AppleMusic/status/1990451784138260940

We knew it was him! He was wearing a wig and a fake moustache, he looked very suspicious and we alerted security. So glad we can enjoy tonight without him spoiling it.

This album has probably beaten COVID in the number of variants

Sorry to those of you who follow me and already have had enough but I have to share this here Yesterday at the final show, I sent a message on the screen. I didn't think she was looking at these (and in the other show I attended she replied to 0 messages so I didn't even know that was an option), I was more sending it to my 13-year-old self who would have cried of happiness knowing what my life was like now and that I was about to watch her, a meter away from the stage (thanks to guardian angel @Leography for swapping my seated ticket for his standing). Very cheesy but very much real. Nothing could have prepared me for the feeling of seeing my message on the screen, with her reply under it. Just the idea that this woman through whom I genuinely discovered myself, my identity, my music taste, so many friends and highlights of my life, who I was about to watch perform my favorite songs, said she's happy for me... I don't even know what this feeling is. It means so much to me. And as a lot of you know the boyfriend in question is @alsemanche so he got a shout out too Thank you @BorisIsHere

Gaga just posted on her instagram story.

She just sang Brooklyn Nights live in Melbourne. I took this footage from a TikTok Live (tagged user in description) Enjoy

They said "back up & turn around"

That’s it, that’s the post.

Lady Gaga oozed sophistication in a green satin suit as she enjoyed dinner in Paris 🇫🇷 ❝ The singer, 39, is currently in the French capital ahead of her final gig at the Accor Arena on Saturday - which is the last stop on the European leg of her tour before she flies to Australia. Gaga looked sensational as she was seen leaving Laurent restaurant wearing a mint green Tom Ford suit paired with a skimpy mesh bra and sunglasses. She also ditched her usually platinum blonde locks in favour of a striking long black wig. ❞ more photos: read more: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15314435/Lady-Gaga-keeps-low-profile-strolls-Paris-ahead-final-European-date-Mayhem-Ball-revealing-psychotic-break.html

After performing just Shallow and ARUTW live ever since ASIB, she has finally done another song: IS THAT ALRIGHT? She dedicated it to her fans and Michael. I love the arrangement they used! https://x.com/lmonsterreacts/status/1990898483138613536?s=46&t=ppjsE61OVKWklgvWon0vmw Full vid:

That damn movie wasn’t for nothing after all…

I was reading the Rolling Stone article again, and I can’t stop thinking about how this album feels like the end of a book, and I’m already looking forward to the next one. All of her albums and eras since The Fame feel like one long journey from the same book (not just chapters), shining a light on an individual shaped by pop culture, trying to heal. A self trying to make sense of the modern world. Each album is centered on something deeply personal. But with Mayhem, I feel like she’s stepping into the next big phase of her life. She’s healed, she found love. She’s closing that part of her story with grace, and now she’s ready to explore boundaries she couldn’t have imagined in the last twenty years. Lady Gaga is no longer a lone superhero. The way she shaped her story over the past two decades is, arguably, one of the most incredible pop-culture evolutions in modern history. The Mayhem Ball is one of the greatest art pieces of our time, and I hope that one day it will be part of the history books. I can’t wait to see what the hell she does next, because I’m sure we’re going to be surprised once again. I’m genuinely grateful to witness this

That's so disrespectful... So they willingly sold out to get a nice cheque then they come and trash her? F*ck them and their "artistic integrity"

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on New Heights podcast for “The Life of a Showgirl” announcement is named one of this year’s important moments by TIME magazine. Celebrate and discuss.

What she's gon do next:

Just wanted to come on here to give Happy Mistake it’s flowers for being such a hauntingly, beautiful song. Admittedly I didn’t listen to it much when it first came out, but I just revisited this performance and realize that the world really missed out by not giving this song the chance to become the timeless smash hit it deserves to be. At least it’s part of a Grammy nominated album now I suppose

They were just looking for an excuse to shade Midonna + Ariana was an actress before becoming a pop star. Are they 12?

Good thing I know better and not even Gaga could convince me to take up smoking... It's an aesthetic...I get it but I'm not "influenced" to smoke or drink just because others do it...I make up my own mind and have personal boundaries about what I put into my body.

https://www.goldderby.com/odds/combined-odds/grammy-awards-2026/ Additionally, Disease is at #2 for Pop Solo after Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, and Harlequin is at #2 after Elton John and Brandi Carlile's Who Believes in Angels? The prediction for Best Pop Dance Recording (Abracadabra) is not included but the song is thought to be a frontrunner.

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome 14-time GRAMMY, Oscar, and Emmy Award winner Lady Gaga to the Museum's intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening celebrating Harlequin, currently GRAMMY® nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. The event will feature a discussion and a premiere screening of her film, LADY GAGA IN HARLEQUIN LIVE – ONE NIGHT ONLY. LADY GAGA IN HARLEQUIN LIVE – ONE NIGHT ONLY is a cinematic performance film shot at The Belasco in downtown Los Angeles, featuring Gaga performing Harlequin in its entirety. Executive produced by Gaga and Michael Polansky and shot partially on film, it captures a one-night-only performance created exclusively for her fans. This special event marks the first time she’s sharing it on screen. Harlequin serves as a singular love letter from Gaga to both her character and music lovers around the world. The album launched at the very top of the Billboard Jazz chart and secured prominent placements across the Billboard 200, Top Albums, and Top Pop Albums charts. Executive produced by Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky, the project also opened among the leading titles on Spotify’s Global and U.S. Debut Album charts. Harlequin is influenced by the vast American musical lexicon, yet also draws from modern and vintage pop. The album includes unique and original arrangements of “Happy Mistake,” “Oh, When The Saints,” “World On A String,” “That’s Entertainment” and more. Critics worldwide have hailed the album as an unparalleled achievement, praising Gaga for once again pushing musical boundaries and delivering a genre-defining, instant classic that showcases her timeless versatility. USA TODAY called it "easily one of her finest moments on record," Spanning genres and styles, BILLBOARD said, “Gaga manages to turn even some of the most beloved pop classics in American culture into fresh reincarnations,” ROLLING STONE described the album as "[a] luxuriant album of jazzy swing, mostly standards, right in her sweet spot," while VANITY FAIR said “the vocal performances on Harlequin are truly some of Gaga's best work.” Notably, Harlequin marks Lady Gaga’s first jazz-inspired album since the passing of her longtime collaborator Tony Bennett. The album represents a step forward in bringing classic standards into the modern era, as if these timeless songs were reimagined through the lens of all the music that followed. Gaga breathes new life into these beloved tracks, combining her deep love of jazz with a fresh, avant-garde approach, honoring the past while pushing it into uncharted territory. https://www.universe.com/events/reel-to-reel-lady-gaga-in-harlequin-live-one-night-only-tickets-Q6DJ84?fbclid=IwdGRjcAOvabdjbGNrA69pqmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHqbrCKscmgra6PPHTAqAQRwaJVMicyfz5nnlOTBzMyP8r-_E0ZfJstt8fJHr_aem_d8342bFm6mdtR0xtotSVNw

According to Gold Derby, Harlequin is now the favorite to win for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, to be celebrated on February 1, 2026. Gaga is currently leading the predictions at over 46%, followed by Elton John and Brandi Carlile at 42% and Laufey at 8%. Out of all the nominees this year, Gaga has the most wins (2), but this is her first time being nominated without her dear friend Tony Bennett. On the other hand, Laufey is the only other nominee to have won this category previously (2024 with her album Bewitched). Barbra Streisand is currently at her 14th nomination with no wins yet. Elton, Brandi, Jennifer Hudson, and Laila Biali are all on their first nomination this year. Prior to the announcement of the nominees, Elton John and Brandi Carlile's Who Believes in Angels? was the clear frontrunner due to its critical acclaim and predicted nomination for Album of the Year. However, after the album missed the final cut, and Gaga's chances increased after she was the most nominated female artist of the year and achieved major nominations including Album, Song and Record of the Year, and even a surprise nomination for Disease as Best Pop Solo Performance. Her momentum seems to be building up as the days go by as The Mayhem Ball just wrapped up its European leg to critical acclaim in every single stop, a lot of major magazines and newspaper have included her on their lists of the best albums and songs of 2025. Gaga also had significant appearances on the year end lists for Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and YouTube Music. Gaga is currently predicted to win all of her nominations, with the exception of Best Pop Solo Performance, where she's currently at 43%, behind Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild at 47%. Though predictions can be wrong and the Grammys are known for being unpredictable sometimes, this wouldn't be the first time Gaga pulls a win that no one saw coming, after she managed to win Best Pop Solo Performance for Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Going?) and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Rain on Me despite being third in the odds in both cases.

They put the album at #2 and Abracadabra at #1. We won https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-2025-1235468614/lady-gaga-abracadabra-2-1235468964/

Can you guys be more empathetic? They need more money to support their luxurious lives. I support Gaga ripping her fans off if that’s what it takes for her to thrive her lifestyle. I’m sorry I love seeing her happy in her expensive clothes.

youre evil for this title

Change title to "GoldDerby loves setting us up for disappointment"

Me to my (former) therapist

If you smooshed their faces together, you would have Jennifer Connelly

No one cares about that h0e

The fact that newcomer Olivia Dean achieved that, mama what are the A lists doing! Hopefully a trend being made

At least no one was overly dramatic about it ... ...

Off to delude myself into thinking Total Mayhem will be a retrospective EP with unreleased tracks inc Brooklyn Nights & Princess Die.

I mean you either brag about your artistic integrity and refuse to work with big popstars or you just take the cheque. Taking the cheque and call it an "artistic compromise" when it's only a financial one is peak hypocrisy.

MON TRUC EN PLOUMES

Thanks, Gar

A song that perfectly captures the pain, tumult, and dissonance of heartbreak and disillusionment at an identity level iktr. IMO part of what’s so brilliant about Disease and PI is that they’re both (to differing extents) anti pop songs: angular, dissonant, building tension but never releasing etc. Gaga’s ability to do that is a part of what makes her such a gifted writer, imo. You have to know the rules incredibly well in order to break them, bend them, make people purposefully uncomfortable etc. I live for Miss Gar using the form (and the concept) of a pop song to create the visceral sense of gnawing at the bars of your enclosure. Also creating a pop song about feeling disillusioned with your public persona that’s also musically antagonistic towards being a conventional pop song is just deliciously meta. For anyone who’s interested, here’s a great podcast from two musicologists breaking down the structure of the song and tying it to other common musical motifs in Gaga’s catalogue:

I f.ucking hate those 'blind item' people on TikTok It's literally just the new 'a source close to the star says' repackaged for the new gen People are just making stuff up babes. And just because some blonde girl with a medium sized following reads them into a little fluffy handheld mic in front of a ring light in her living room on TikTok with the green screen filter doesn't make it any more real than a 'rumour' on Twitter Stop believing everything some random person on TikTok says

Her most underrated song tbh

Here damn
