Gaga is a legend, and it's not like this is something significant (more of a fun fact), but still can't believe her last solo top 3 song was 13 years ago with The Edge Of Glory. She was close with Applause and Million Reasons (#4) and Stupid Love (#5). Speaking of, I can't believe "Applause" wasn't another #1 for her. People treated it as "weird" or as if it were avant garde at the time (maybe because her theatrical vocals in the verses or inclusion of words like "gong" idk), but to me it always seemed like a pretty straightforward solid pop song with a fantastic chorus. I also remember it being starkly compared to "Roar" given they were released nearly simultaneously and at the time and even now, while "Roar" is more easily digestible to the masses, I still feel "Applause" is technically the more artistic, better written song. Idk. Just one of many underappreciated GaGa releases, even "The Edge Of Glory" (though the Born This Way album was a bit ahead of its time to be truly as appreciated as it should've been). The verses of Applause are pretty jarring for radio. I mean Iβve always adored them, but Iβm also a monster lol. But those verses absolutely did not sound like βsmash hitβ back in 2013. Sheβs lucky the chorus is so undeniable or thereβs totally a chance it could have been a huge chart flop imo. And since you also brought up TEOG, Judas killed that songβs potential to possibly be a career defining hit for her. She got huge backlash at the time and it really kinda halted the eraβs momentum + the rollout for TEOG was rushed and lazy with minimal effort made. Shame, shoulda been such an easy #1 smash for her.

It feels refreshing to see a song organically rising on streaming. it's great, but I wouldn't use "refreshing" since most of the huge hits this year had an organic rise. Not Like Us, Please Please Please, Too Sweet, Espresso, Birds of a Feather, Million Dollar Baby, A Bar Song, we can't be friends... It's insane that DWAS already reached #1 on AM, I called it a hit based on that preview, but never expected it to be a top 3 hit (or #1?) in its first week. Refreshing would be those who are new to smashing, so Sabrina, shaboozey and that million guy
