    It isn't top 50 on streaming yet... I think Abracadabra in the top 5 on the first day.

    Kill For Love has become one of my favourite songs from Mayhem. Been listening to it a lot on Spotify since the album was updated!

    Updated - my top 50 streaming on Spotify hasn't updated since 5th September. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Dead Dance is number 6 on midweek official charts

    No. I'm not a 12 year old desperate for tik tok followers.

    Saw the Mayhem tour last night in London. It was incredible. Such a great setlist and performance.

    It was great wasn’t it. Best live I’ve seen her. This time I heard her voice live throughout and it has so improved since I saw her before. Seen her from the beginning (first Uk promo with beautiful dirty rich) but didnt see Joanne or Chromatica tour live only. Much more cohesive and impressive show and setlist too.

    i was hoping the rumour of a deluxe edition was coming at the end of the year was true but looks like it wasnt. we're getting near the end of October now and surely it would've been announced by now

    HUGE congratulations to Gaga's MAYHEM album getting Grammy nominations

    I know Grammy's aren't everything but ...especially after so many said to me it wouldn't be recognised well...here we are!

    Ecstatic for her and brilliant to get recognition too out of all her peers she's still on top and I love to see it!

    Also speculation. She's done songs for Devil Wears Prada 2 soon and she's in it as herself so should be wild too it's all go

    Sadly I think she will lose to Sabrina Carpenters frightfully bad album 'Mans Best Friend'

    It's a shame really ...looking at most nominees there's so much blandness Gaga is actually a huge standout

    But you're right I never got the hype of SC but I get it

    No idea where we are in the Mayhem camp but will she release another single from the original album ?(Dead can dance is kinda mehhhh)

    Feels like Disease and Abracadabra were from different albums considering the time inbetween and now with DCD releasing a proper 3rd single from Mayhem seems another huge gap. But she should take the opportunity.

    There's rumours shes about to release a deluxe edition of Mayhem, so if thats true, there wont be another single from the original album itll be new songs from deluxe

    So many single potentials on Mayhem

    Garden of Eden, How Bad Do You Want Me were both likely ear marked singles

    Zombie boy would've been fab for spooky season too as a release

    But I think after she exhausted herself early in her career so we Joanne she's focused on her health and letting things gently bloom a bit...three singles and videos per era seems to be the thing

    Personally is greedily love more ...but I wouldn't mind if she announced a new era begin soon too you know? She has it in her to keep being creative and put out pop anthems

    I had a long train journey and yesterday and decided to give Mayhem a proper listen from start to finish, and I have to say I really don't think there's a truly bad song on the album. There are songs that aren't for me, but even then I don't think they're bad. Just not my cup of tea. Even songs I previously used to skip like Vanish Into You, Killah and Shadow Of A Man really caught me off guard.

    This album has a lot going on, musically speaking. It's very layered and intricate. Lots of middle 8 sections that go off into the left field and I always love that! In an age of relentless minimalism and vanilla flavoured pop music this record was actually quite a bold choice for Gaga - and obviously, one that paid off! It's a pop album but there's more than enough to keep real music lovers entertained, too.

    If anyone is still on the fence about this one - try and give it a full run through and really focus on the music. I didn't realise until yesterday how well produced and vibrant the music itself is.

    It's a great album, I've played the hell out of it and still listening. It's now firmly my third fave behind The fame and Born This Way.

    Vanish Into You was one I wasn't a fan of at first but now I love it.
    I'm just not keen on the ballads, The beast and blade of grass have not grown on me at all.

    I'm sure it's been talked about before and she'll probably never confirm it but is Vanish Into You about Tony Bennett?

    High on a Hill, Blue Moon and For Once in My Life are all references to Tony Bennett's songs. Only one reference would be a coincidence - but three in a row is intentional, like Gaga referencing the Hitchcock films in Bad Romance.

    "Do you see me now?" is obviously Gaga wondering if Tony Bennett will ever recognize her again before he passed away.

    Didn't even think of that with the lyrics that adds another layer to the song I love the song anyway but oh my days that's beautiful if the case

    She loves making lyrical references as you say Hitchcock in Bad Romance...so that would make sense ....would've been a fantastic single release too

    I get that she doesn't want to exhaust herself like she did from The Fame - ARTPOP where she made herself really ill ... But I feel from Joanne - Mayhem there's been potential for more visuals a d releases but alas

    I'm thankful we have it in our lives

    She said to Zane Lowe new music next year is 'not out of the question' https://www.facebook.com/reel/1179759490474772

    Gaga always talks about her influences and where she's at and when she's recording, even leaks bits of her own material ...and I always felt like she could've done a Prince and annually/18 months or so Gaga I reckon has 4 or 5 albums worth of material before she finally releases an actual album ...it's bonkers

    So yeah I'm here for another album next year ...she's got so much artistic potential which is exciting to see I'm always excited to see what Gaga may do next

    oh ive just actually watched the whole interview and when Zane asked her if April the end of the tour, its confusing because she says 'its the end........until its not'. what does that mean?? is it her basically saying i have to say its the end until its time to announce new dates that i cant tell you about right now??
