Lady Gaga Appreciation Thread - Shallow passes 1,000,000 sales mark in the UK

[Smithy]

The Big Top 40 is a chart similar to the BBHot 100 which takes into account Radio Audience, sales and streams as opposed to the “official chart” which is just sales and streams

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ICON QUEEN OF THE WORLD etc etc

[Jake.]

i’m not wishing her anything until we get coronamatica

[Smithy]

Nnnnn APPARENTLY the main reason the album was pushed back is bc they haven’t finished filming music videos that they want ready for when the album drops (supposedly there’s gonna be SIX :eyes:)

[Jake.]

All with iphones again?

[Smithy]

One other is apparently

Idg the fuss, I thought it looked fine personally :shrug: my issue was a lack of story in the video

[Ross.]

i’m not wishing her anything until we get coronamatica

Get her!

[Samm]

meh I don't mind the delay, i'd rather have a full on album ERA then an album drop and a silence for a few months because they can't do anything due to miss rona

[Smithy]

Also ladygaga.com has updated all merch with the album cover so id expect her to tweet it soon

[MB.]

The cover :love: Can't wait to stare at it for hours on end when Chromatica gets released in 2028

[Saph]

not keen on the album art, it looks like shes just fallen and died :skull:

Mess not them trying to sabotage GaGa as well ffff

I dont follow them but I think it was only the other week they shipped 10,000 5sos CD’s before release to try and stop them getting number 1 nnn

[Smithy]

I’ve had a look online and some people are saying the CD’s haven’t even been sent to print yet and it’s just the merch from the bundles that have been shipped

Fingers crossed :worry:

[Denver]

More importantly is this gonna be another Artpop era?

[Smithy]

Fookin hope not

She can do it in her living room instead?

[Smithy]

:skull:

[Smithy]

She’s on the cover of instyle this month and it says this about Chromatica

Chromatica is a return to Gaga in her purest pop form. At a preview listening, the swell of the first few notes was an instant stress reliever, as if long-lost tracks from the "Paparazzi" era had just been found, polished up, and newly released. It’s her original sound with a grown-up twist. She’s even brought along a few of her famous friends for guest spots. Co-produced by 29-year-old whiz BloodPop®, who has previously worked with Grimes, Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Britney Spears, Chromatica speaks to the prismatic range of experiences that have informed Gaga’s life.

So, yes, she may be looking and feeling her best, but Gaga hopes that Chromatica helps others heal too. "I made this music, and then I listened back to all of it, and it told the story of my life like a tapestry," she says. "I'm very proud of it because while it's fun and celebratory, if you listen to those lyrics, you really will know my heart. It's like the music is giving you permission to go on. Even if you've had the worst day ever, it's OK to dance."

[Smithy]

I wonder if the Elton collab is from ARTPOP

[MB.]

Plastic Doll

Not a Rodrigo Alves feature

[Smithy]

:skull:

[Jake.]

not chromatica I, II & III

[Saph]

Replay? Iyaz cover?

I'm guessing the chromaticas are like intervals?

[Saph]

UM why is target getting 3 extra songs??????? it better be the interval ones

[Smithy]

Replay? Iyaz cover?

I'm guessing the chromaticas are like intervals?

Yeah probably, I didn’t see her writing a song called Chromatica somehow :joker:

[Smithy]

UM why is target getting 3 extra songs??????? it better be the interval ones

They’re the ones at the bottom of the image, Love Me Right, 1000 doves demo and then a remix of smn else

There’s a standard deluxe edition of 19 songs too so I’m guessing there’s a couple more track names to be announced

[Saph]

oh screaming at them getting "1000 doves demo" as an exclusive :skull:

save the best for the rest of us!

[Samm]

911?? OMG

R5skLttpxpI

i'm expecting free woman/fun tonight to be some epic transition

https://i.imgur.com/dlIpzbv.gif

[Smithy]

I think 911 might have been originally for ARTPOP, madeon @‘d the tweet she made about the tracklist

1253076525827493888

Obviously she worked with him on ARTPOP (MJH, Gypsy) and she tweeted 911 a lot back then

[Smithy]

Tula snubbed from the tagging?

[Smithy]

Tula snubbed from the tagging?

:skull:

By the looks of it, the song she co-wrote/had sampled didn’t make the cut, neither of them are on the tracklist, they could be deluxe version songs I guess?

Full list of confirmed writers/producers so far

Lady Gaga
Ariana Grande
BLACKPINK
Elton John
Bloodpop
Madeon
Madison Emiko Love
Skrillex
Klahr
Tom Norris
Axwell
Boyz Noize
Ely Rise
Morgan Kibby
BURNS
Rami
Benjamin Rice
Justin Tranter
LIOHN
Big Sir
Ryan Tedder
Tchami
Max Martin

[Samm]

no SOPHIE? they were one of the first big names :eyes:

[Smithy]

That confirmation so far is just from the blood pop IG post, someone somewhere in an interview said she’s on the album

[Smithy]

Free Woman snippet has leaked :skull:

[montblanc]

only featured artist i like is ari :/

[Smithy]

I mean same, but I’ve never actually listened to a BLACKPINK song so I guess I’m ready to give them a chance.

[Saph]

I really hope it isn't KPOP

[Smithy]

Apparently both Ari and BP were due to be guests at Coachella

https://media.tenor.com/images/d48b07b5d07606040066eb2825da5649/tenor.gif


She really was about to give us everything we wanted and then Miss Rhona said no, the amount of promo and planning that’s been scrapped; it would have been like the BTW era re promo

Another Rain on Me snippet and it sounds SO GOOD

1253816294018818051

[Smithy]

I just heard the first minute and a half of free woman too :worry:

[Jake.]

I just heard the first minute and a half of free woman too :worry:

Any good?

[Smithy]

Yes although the verse > the chorus

Also the person leaking the snippets also has Alice and Sine from above

[MB.]

I just listened to the Free Woman snippet and I'm quite tempted to burn my nonexistent bra

[Smithy]

:joker:

Buy one just to burn it?
Did you hear Rain on Me too?

[MB.]

I listened to the first snippet, I forget how long that one was though

[Smithy]

The second one is 35 seconds

Also apparently there’s a Sour Candy snippet out now too, but everything I’m listening to is just koreans singing so idk if that’s BLACKPINKs verse or if people are trolling :conf2:

[Smithy]

Someone from gags team is in a twitch chat (random) and said they’re all aware of the leak, Gags and Mike (blood pop) are annoyed at it

[Smithy]

"Every queen has a princess and @ladygaga only needed to choose one, @ArianaGrande has shown that she's the leader of her generation. The world is ready to trade the old image of Madonna & Britney Spears for these stars".

-LA Times about Lady Gaga and her upcoming song.

-drama war siren begins to ring-

[Smithy]

Welp the first Chromatica date has been postponed

Édouard Philippe, France prime minister, announced minutes ago that all concerts in the country will be cancelled until September.

[Gstar]

I’ve heard various snippets of rain on me and I like what I hear, there’s only one I don’t like so hoping that wasn’t the official one :worry:

[Smithy]

Is that the one with ari going Oooh please don’t rain on me, rain rain go away?

Cause that’s fake :joker:

[Gstar]

Yeah I heard that was an unreleased track from sweetener (still a bop tho)

I guess it’s that clubby type one then

[Ross.]

When is she giving us what we deserve

[Smithy]

Yeah I heard that was an unreleased track from sweetener (still a bop tho)

I guess it’s that clubby type one then

It’s not even that, it’s an old IG clip that someone’s put a bad beat to :joker:

[Smithy]

She’s changed her profile pic on her social media and Stupid Love link has gone from her YT

Rain On Me finally incoming? :amazed::amazed::amazed:

[Gstar]

I’m over snippets now I just want the album, this era looks fun
