should be looking at 50k in the UK by Friday

01 Lady Gaga - MAYHEM (41,138)
[32,390 physicals, 6,649 streaming, 2,099 downloads]

Chromatica opened with 52,907

So roughly on a par - I'd say that's good going to be honest. She's 5 years on since Chromatica and seldom do artists sell over 50k in the album charts these days(Beyonce only managed 40k last time)

 

[Jark]

yeah even Kylie has been struggling to hit 50k. anything 40k+ now is great. especially as sales are so reliant on vinyl and there's a ceiling there.

 

[Sheena]

Albeit she has multiformatted the fuck out of this...

 

[Sheena]

(JUST LIKE KYLIE)

 

[lolly]

Can I hear Sam Fender pissing himself somewhere?

 

[lolly]

(that was a post for funky)

 

[Suedehead]

I DO enjoy Sam Fender too actually
But yeah
I only bought one copy of his vinyl but I did in the end opt for 3 Gaga vinyls...

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm sorry, what is a "Sam Fender"?

 

[Tisch]

I'm sorry, what is a "Sam Fender"?

A MAN

[K.C.]

If anything, funky gave this album a generous revision rate.

 

[K.C.]

I've had this whole album on repeat for the last 48 hours (with intermittent periods of Mariah and Dido). Everything from start to about Track 10 is 10/10.

(that was a post for funky)

I don't get it

 

[lolly]

I don't get it

She's on course to sell less than half Sam Fender did in his first week.

 

[funky]

Sounds about right!

HBDUWM CHRISTMAS RELEASE PSL!!!!!

 

[K.C.]

Apart from sounding 80s, there's so much theater influence in this album. It's dripping with PEP.

And indeed PrEP

And indeed PrEP

Gay drug music confirmed.

 

[K.C.]

Actually that explains why the artsy gays like it. My drama friends are all in love with this album.

 

[Pipo]

Is it me or are lyrics this time around much more cheesy in a good way, like, she was clearly in a bad place when writing Chromatica; I love the SCHOOL GIRL TEEN VIBES of Vanish Into You and HBDUWM

 

[Jark]

LoveDrug is such a BANGER! that chorus comes in like a wrecking ball.

 

[K.C.]

LoveDrug sounds very disco to me, ESPECIALLY the chorus.

 

[Penelope]

We need a @VoR and @Suomi track by track review of this primary colours opus

 

[funky]

Can we have a confirmation of what an artsy gay is please?

Like if there was a picture which Mopsy poster would it be?

 

[Joseph]

I have no clue

I’m too old for that discussion

I imagine someone like HER, but she's not gay (yet)

Spoiler

To me it's overzealous theater gays, or hipster gays who are into 'installations'.

CCing @ZenGiraffe into this for clarification.

Mother.

 

[GNL]

She's been re-heating Doug's sister's nachos a little lately actually.

Not you

 

[Suedehead]

me and @Jark this weekend

 

[Pipo]

The voice! We're so back

 

[Iguana]

I’m really feeling Blade of Grass tonight

Same, help

 

[cwej]

I mean at the very least it clearly does not fit on this album at all and shouldn't be here. it's there for the streams and that's it.

If Blade Of Grass is on there, then it totally fits fine - especially at the end.

 

[Suedehead]

The voice! We're so back

Omg acoustic perfect celebrity I die

 

[Loufoque]

I'm so glad we didn't get a "dark pop" album of industrial bangers when we got to disco heaven of Zombieboy, LoveDrug, Shadow of a Man and Don't Call Tonight instead.

 

[Suedehead]

Yeah I woke up today and chose
