Seems like they all signed on without even having a proper script ahead of time and had to carry on despite knowing it was a shitshow

This is the only day you can stream TDD

I only know this Angie Bowen

Apple Music:

Paparazzi had its biggest streams ever with 1.558.884

We need a new season of Flavor of Love

caption is "I just watched the 13th season. I'm still trying to process how a season of a series that used to be so good can be SO bad. anyway..."

I don't have Twitter and you can't view full posts without an account now. Can someone tell me what the post says that she shared?

Goldenvoice actively pursued BTS, Miley Cyrus and Radiohead for headlining bookings, but it appears all three passed.

the show is sh!t and the actors are acknowledging that, Ryan Murphy needs to be stopped

DO THE DEAD DANCE.

I don't care what monsters have a problem with making Halloween Gaga's holiday, WE'RE FVCKIN DOIN IT ANYWAY

The cliché of critics being failed artists is tired and folks used it only when they're mad at a bad reception.

TRIGGER WARNING?

I stream it every other day

omgggg Abra up to +10 to #18 on the AMUS Pop chart now!!! Where is the charts thread!! I've been thinking about it the last week lmao it's Gagaween week! It's #138 AM US (all songs) now

Gaga's Halloween power gets stronger every year. In the last couple of days I had friends from Madrid, Milan, Chicago, Denver, Dublin and Buenos Aires sending me videos of Halloween parties where DJ was playing Abracadabra, Bloody Mary, Bad Romance, Zombieboy and Monster

I smell an EGG mama. Come to the dark side, we have estrogen

I love Gaga and Mayhem, but saying Die With A Smile doesn’t count as a lead single is a bit of a side-eye. She says a lot of stuff and that just seems like more stuff she said. DWAS served most purposes of a lead single (an indestructible anchor of success for the era) and Abracadabra served any purpose DWAS did not (a solid hit and the anchor of the era in terms of performance and visuals). Disease served the purpose of a promo single. But it’s her music and her decision, so if she says it’s the lead single, it’s the lead single. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also, Abra got 1.01M, +184k compared to yesterday's numbers Dont think we will see it enter the top 200 tomorrow, but it might be close.

She did confirm that she had the title for ARTPOP the day she submitted Born This Way’s final master. She probably just didn’t know how to make sense of it at first. Ironically considering Art Pop is an actual music genre, which runs on the themes of the final concept she had for the album, it’s weird that she made the album EDM instead of Art Pop in sound. The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Bowie, Kate Bush, Grace Jones, Bjork, Fiona Apple all made Art Pop music. Which translated better into Mayhem than ARTPOP weirdly enough. Modern forms of the genre include FKA Twigs’ music and Melodrama by Lorde. ARTPOP’s title song is the closest the album ever came to actually being the genre and concept.

It seems Khias had a dresscode this year

At least Lizzo put effort in

Gaga surpassed Taylor Swift and now became 5th artist having the most monthly listeners on Spotify 5. (+1) Lady Gaga - 101,402,688 (+330,301) 6. (-1) Taylor Swift - 101,026,193 (-538,975)

Dressing up as a newly deceased person for Halloween doesn't sit right with me

Break My Soul, by far my least favorite on Renaissance

Spotify Top Global #16 (-4) DWAS - 2,687,720 #104 (-13) Paparazzi - 1,498,563 #111 (+6) Poker Face - 1,472,213 #139 (+21) Just Dance - 1,389,132 #197 (-3) Judas - 1,237,775

Bc i know that is a slur

Basically Interscope was pushing for the era to start in 2012 when she was on tour, MANiCURE was set to be the lead single (corroborated by DJWS in an Entertainment Weekly interview back in 2021) then it was Aura, then it was something else (we assume Sex Dreams based on insider info only) and finally Applause. When they realised she wouldn’t have ARTPOP finished in 2012, they pushed everything back and she was supposed to release a single in April 2013 after the BTWB finished—and obviously we know why that didn’t happen. During this time Partynauseous was supposed to serve as an intermediate single with Kendrick. Maybe even one of the Azealia songs would’ve been released too who knows. Gaga wanted the fans to choose single #2 after SwineFest and we unanimously chose Sex Dreams, but nothing came of it. Then she announced Venus as the second single and they used DWUW as promo, but DWUW charted so they changed plans and she said Venus would still be a single (presumably the third one). She only had 1 week to plan and 2 days to shoot all her videos at the time because of the schedule they had for her, so she wasn’t satisfied with DWUW’s video. They had a collaboration with BitTorrent to release the video and the behind the scenes documentary, images and interviews with Gaga, Terry and R Kelly about the video’s concept. It was all announced and even had a release date, but the date came and went. Despite common misconception, the video didnt come out BECAUSE of Troy leaving, as the team involved in the deal was Atom Factory. The Terry Richardson stuff didn't surface till the year after, and then the R Kelly stuff didnt resurface until she finally removed the song from the album. She said I’m hindsight she was just trying to be controversial for controversy sake. And the video from what we can gather was going to show the duality of her recovery from her hip injury, the glamorised and sexualised “public perception” of what happened (the operating on her in full glam, working out in full glam etc) all intercut with the footage from the BTWB of her throwing up, crying and struggling and recovering from her hip injury. She took a break, got herself back together and devised a plan with Bobby. She released GUY before the tour because she felt the fans deserved it, Interscope wouldn’t fund it so she paid out of pocket and it was the first project she fully dealt with the business side, the creative side and the release side. She directed and Co-edited it, she starred in it, she did the business deal with Hearst Castle and paid $3m to do it all. Including a Minecraft deal to pay for it. Troy had left because she was seen as no-longer profitable, and he took businesses and trademarks with him and sold them without her knowledge including her stake in Polaroid Grey Label and the rights to her perfumes, the ad for EDG was filmed in 2013 as well before he left, and was just used for contractual obligations, hence the no promo for it. We know this based on her tattoos in the video and shoot too. He left with Vincent Herbert to go work for Spotify, which was in it’s infancy he was the Head of Artist Relations at Spotify—funnily enough, only when he LEFT Spotify did Gaga actually start getting good streams from 2017 onward. So we suspect he was a road block. Now he and Atom Factory aren’t involved in the music industry and their entire business revolves around AI and tech. His position as executive producer on ARTPOP and it’s material is exactly why Gaga can’t just release more unreleased songs from it. That and Interscope, as per her contract, have control over what unreleased material she can and cannot record or release again. ARTPOP had it’s central themes rejected multiple times by her label and upper team, based on her own words people (presumably Troy and Atom Factory’s marketing team) wanted her to “just look pretty and make dance music” hence why she had a glamorous phase in 2012 and the satirical Disney Princess High theme came about. She clearly had a problem where she tried to force the music into the concept instead of letting a concept come from the music. The problems weren’t Gaga it was poor management, when Troy took on more roles beyond just her Manager.
