I see this having a run similar to "Never Really Over" by Katy Perry. Bieber's performance with his new album in streaming is a troubling sign for all veteran pop stars to come. Lady Gaga peaked in popularity way before Bieber ever did. I just don't see her doing well in streaming. Especially not with a song like this that smells like 2013 all over again. I wouldn't really compare this to Justin or "Never Really Over". There is actually hype and interest here, and the public is definitely on Gaga's side this time around. The difference is that Katyโs single was very well recieved by the GP, and was loved by fans.

Iโm not sure what โhypeโ everyone is referring to outside of gay twitter? This feels like it came out of nowhere all of a sudden. There was not much speculation or build up for the launch of this new era. Now all of a sudden sheโs coming in 3 days. I donโt think the public is expecting this at all or aware. But Gaga is a media darling so Iโm sure it will get a lot of coverage.
To expect this to generate hype because of โShallowโ is a really tricky and unconventional expectation. Shallow is a moderate song that appealed to Hot AC audiences coming off the movieโs hype. It did not really pave a lane for Gaga to be successful as a Top 40/pop artist again. Surely, it doesnโt hurt. But I wouldnโt count on all these chickens before they hatch.

Iโm excited! Not sure if the final version will be the one that leaked a month or so ago, but I thought it was solid and had/has potential.
The visuals and colors also have me excited for the music video which I imagine weโre getting on Friday as well. My guess is โChromaticaโ is her character in the music video. Iโm not sold itโs the album title since LG-6 is also noted on that billboard. I have a far-fetched guess that the video will be Fortnite inspired (remember that tweet) and her โChromaticaโ character could become a playable skin on that game. Itโs probably unlikelyโฆ but would be cool promo!

I hope they twisted the production from the leaked version! Give us a plot twist Queen!

I mean, outside of gay twitter and online music forums, I'm not sure really sure where "hype" happens these days. I'm 30 years old, lol. It does seem people have been thirsty for LG6 and pop Gaga since Joanne dropped and "The Cure" which many were hoping would translate into a new project before ASIB. Many music publications and a few big magazines speculated about LG6 all throughout 2019.
I don't think anyone is really stating or thinking this will be surefire coming off "Shallow", but she is surely better positioned.

Also if you look at Gagaโs last 4 singles that even went Top 20 on Top 40 radio, all of them stalled in the same neighborhood. You had; โPerfect Illusionโ (2016) โA Million Reasonsโ (2017) โThe Cureโ (2017) โShallowโ (2018/2019) All of them peaked between #20-#15 if Iโm not mistaken. So she does get mild support at Top 40, but I wouldnโt bank on her going top 10. Her performances on Hot AC have been better.

It is kind of crazy that she hasnโt had a top 10 pop hit since 2014 with Do What U Want. Crazy only because six years have passed so fast...

This doesnโt sound modern enough to do well. Itโs wayyy too 2012. Is it a good song? Yes. Will it smash like the gays want? No. can we wait until the song's actually out to make bold statements like this?

I mean we have all heard at least part of it, and expecting them to overhaul the entire song? It's gonna be one hell of a rework to make it sound like anything other than a track that would have smashed... eight years ago.
I'm not saying it's the wrong move for her creatively... commercially, revitalizations like the one she had with ASIB don't happen twice so I really hope at the very least there's a second single ready just in case this peters out below Perfect Illusion's peak

Lady Gaga, in 2020.
This will be interesting to say the least.

All the speculation on the chart run, but her last four songs have been so different. Itโs so hard to compare these to today.
โPerfect Illusionโ and โMillion Reasonsโ were off an album that really wasnโt very pop. You had a strange lead single and a ballad. It was relatively muted overall. Promo and visuals werenโt on her normal level.
The Cure seemed like a single sent to appease her label. Landed nowhere.
Shallow was for a movie. Still had a great run, and frankly, is always hovering in the Top 100 on Itunes almost 18 months later.
Iโm very curious what happens here. Iโm not buying the comparisons to KP or Bieber. KP never had the fan base as strong as Gaga (IMO) and Bieber is perhaps underperforming to some, but he also just scored a 7th #1 album with decent sales. His image is also hugely polarizing right now.
I think Gaga has a bigger base than both these artists. She might release a mediocre first single (havenโt heard it yet), but with killer visuals and promo ... she could take all our wigs. Perhaps she wants to drop some nostalgia for her fans and then really go hard on a second single? Who knows. I trust her (and her team) though.
Super excited to find out whatโs in store!

Very excited to get this album era going, I'm hoping for the best but I'll settle for a mid teens peak if needed. I'm just dying for a new album!

I don't trust anyone's team or label after that "Yummy" disaster.

It will be interesting how she does in this new era of music sheโs one of the last pop stars left who relied on digital and physical album sales on top of her age. This better go top 10 on Pop!

Max is credited as a song writer not producer.
Interested to hear this, I don't listen to leaks unless its an old song that didn't make the cut for an album.
Anyways excited for pop Gaga, I'm praying for a great visual to accompany the song because thats where the Joanne era really fell short me, the music videos were so boring. John Wayne was cute though.

I canโt believe Max allowed such a lame hook on the chorus.

I mean, recent Max Martin is a bit hit and miss. For every "Blinding Lights" there's also a "Don't Call Me Angel."

well. he is not on the producer. so it's not on him.
btw, sometimes producer take songwriting credit "only" for their beat/production when it's small contribution.

I hope this doesnโt mean an album of generic pop bops. We can get those anywhere. I want Gaga-specific jams.

Seems reasonable thing to do, and wouldn't mind that being 365 days a year.
