Well that didn’t take long!
Lady Gaga only just unveiled the title of her fifth album ‘Joanne’ and quickly follows up with the project’s official artwork.
Check it out above and head below for additional details…
Due October 21st via Interscope, the LP follows 2013’s ‘ARTPOP’ and is ushered in by anthemic new single ‘Perfect Illusion.’
During an interview today on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio, Mother Monster revealed that the album’s title is her middle name as well that of her late aunt – from who she draws strength and inspiration.
Mark Ronson serves as ‘Joanne’s executive producer; confirmed collaborators including RedOne, Florence Welch, Beck, BloodPop and Kevin Parker.
hmmm I like it. very understated. maybe the title will grow on me too
She stole from “Jackie”
considering Joanne is her middle name and Ciara’s full name is Princess Harris, this is the reach of the century.
@pauio: Gaga said Joanne is her aunt that passed away and looks over her. So… umm, yeah
… which is why her dad named her after her aunt and she named their restaurant together after her too. so hmm… yeah.
Looks like a flop cover
The real Joanne the scammer. Glad she finally living in her truth. And give Lana her floppyhat back from the Honeymonn album cover. I’m addicted to Perfect Illusion tho.
if you call white privileges scamming
I do. Lmao #justiceForTinashe
Beyonce is the biggest contemporary music star on the planet so STFU about “white privilege”. Makes you look petty and just as racists as the idiots supporting Trump
Not all of us judge music on the skin color of the person singing it
Seth there are many people in various countries who aren’t even aware that Beyonce is black. They think she just has a tan. Anywho… you must be white given the fact that you were upset by my comment. Your privilege exist.
i’m here for this era
She is lost with no direction.
Btw Tinashe released her new single hours ago and you guys haven’t even mentioned it. You all need a new team. Late as usual
Or they just don’t dare?….
Care*
Don’t nobody give a f*** about any damn Tuna-shes, let it go hunni
One thing I can say about Gaga, when she releases album, she promotes like crazy!
lol
I’m SLAYN! Someone hold me down before I pull a Molly and shave my head!
Oop, I meant britney*
Get out! Don’t come back.
I thought @TransDalmatian was your girl?
I’m not a big Gaga fan but damn, why don’t y’all want to see her win? The only person I ever heard her having beef with is Madonna so I don’t understand why the Navy and the Beyhive are wishing for her downfall when she has shown love to both artist.
the hive knows at her best she can sell out stadiums, perform just as well, and sell more albums than their fav….they’ll never want to see her win
4 (Bey’s lowest selling album) outsold Artpop and Beyonce’s recent tours have grossed more than Lady Gaga’s at her peak. Get it right.
Girl Hush
He/she said at her BEST. Which is true since The Fame has sold more copies than any Beyonce album 🙂
Because she’s annoying, weird, phony, disgusting, offputting, overhyped, takes herself too seriously, corny, melodramatic, makes music that is egregiously overrated, has a habit of being around when you weren’t trying to see or hear her…and then there are her little cutters, all of whom I would like to be back in high school with, so I can shove their emo gay asses into a locker and happily take a suspension for. All this taken together makes me want to join a lynch mob to go after her. Does that answer the question? She’s terrible.
KVH
Hmm… nah just sounds like you are a hater with no arguments. Lady Gaga is mad talented and it is obvious. She is actually doing little promo for this compared to the othe rpop girls so I don´t know how you can be annoyed by her in that department either. Grow up and move on hater.
@John boy you call the Navy delusional yet The Famr is comprised of 2 separate album’s that are smashed into one. The Fame and The Fame Monster Edition now sit!
they scare she will kill thearyonce future album sales
Hail
It´s not like Beyonce didn´t re release some of her albums like B Day. But still combined or not, she has never had an era where she sold more than The Fame. It´s not being delusional or anything. It´s a fact. Nobody is saying Beyonce is not one of the biggest sellers right now. I say it all the time. So stop being pressed at a truth stated here.
Lmao you still prove my point. How are you going to compare and Album that was re-released to Dangerously In Love which sold 12 million on it’s own with no re-release. The Fame had The Fame, The Fame Monster and Remix edition lol! So stop!
.
I can’t with you calling anyone pressed when you litteraly jumped in my comment yesterday defending Fadga’s talent when i didn’t even come for her talent. Not to mention how you leave 297362828161 video’s no one will ever watch because you want to prove a “point” ?????. Stop with the delusions!
You´re pressed when you have to resort to lies to defend your fav (who doesn´t need any defence btw). I don´t remember replying to you yesterday at all. Showing facts and videos with fatcs is not being pressed. It is admiring music and talent. You cannot pucking understand The Fame (rerelease or not) has sold more than any Beyonce album. End of story. Nobody said anything different. You were the one pressed at the fact Beyonce is not the top bisch at everything in music history. Just get over it. Isn´t being the most successful performer today enough? And one of the biggest album sellers these last few years? Be happy with that. Others own other lanes.
The cover’s cute, let’s hope the music isn’t as big of a car crash as everything she’s released post TFM.
Basic AF
Pot meet kettle…
And then meet Abel
Aww i hit a nerve with this Bruno Martian fan, rihnavy lookin ass generic f**. Stay bothered
Bothered by what? Based off your photo you look like you still use Myspace. Lmao @ your reach to try to group me as a Stan for somebody. I don’t care if someone thinks Bruno Mars is ugly. I just don’t think someone who wears Wal-Mart collection should speak on attraction.
I like the cover. I can’t wait for the album to get here. I love Perfect Illusion.
Ok, i’m I was SLAYN by this because I was expecting some type of perfect illusion cover (shorts, dirty hair).
This looks very subtle and feminine.
I love the different shades of gaga she brings with every era
From the name to the cover art, it reminds me too much of Ciara’s Jackie. However, for her sake I hope it performs much better
Shouldn’t be too difficult to do considering Jackie set the bar about an inch off the ground
Kiiiiiiii!
LMAOOOO
True but Gaga absolutely cannot debut beneath 250k. Anything beneath such would be a failure
That’s a reach since FLOPckie was a carbon copy of Janet Jackson’s self-titled album. Everything from the black and white photo, down to the pose was a copy (Janet had her breast covered, while Ciara had his pecs covered too). This is going to be Gaga’s Britney Jean era.
??? @ pecs
Can’t wait!
Because the public gave her a free pass at her peak and even a terrible song like born this way debuted at number one based on hype, but now that she has to prove she is not a fad, she released the worst song of the year, that’s not wishing her downfall, it’s reality.
Exactly born this way the song and album where pure trash… The GP realized she was all hype that’s the reason no one was checking for artpop
@Molly
Born This Way is still her best album, her most unoriginal but her best body of work, it’s not a masterpiece or anything like that but is a great record nonetheless.
Born This Way debuted at #1 based on hype, that’s true but it’s also normal, she became the world’s biggest pop star with The Fame Monster, the whole Bad Romance moment was her peak IMO, so people were expecting something huge from her.
How is a girl gonna talk about what is basic when it’s fave sings like a drain turtle, has album covers that Disney creates for them a sings to rejected Rihanna songs??
…. yikes. *sips tea*
I like it even though it looks like something off of Tumblr. Kind of Lana del ray-ish tho
So much negativity. Anyways, congrats Gaga on your new project. I didn’t like the debut single at first… But after giving it a few more spins, I actually like it, not LOVE it, but definitely like it. Her album cover looks basic but maybe that’s the whole point. To be simple & relatable this go round. Goodluck, Stefani
She’s trying to be Lana Del Rey now?
Damn we said tone it down, not turn it off. Girl BYE!
Lmao, she just not going to win with you guys.
Lmao @ turn it off ???
I like the fact that she’s not trying too hard this new era, she knows the state her career is in, all this simplicity is just a calculated move, a smart one, we all know how much she wants to be on top again. But she needs to play her cards right, she’s doing everything right so far ( although the lead single says otherwise) the only thing she needs is the hardest thing to get, PEOPLE’S Support, I think people are just not interested in her, not as s pop star and not as a musician, like they won’t support her even if she released The Fame part 2, which says a lot about how much loyal people are these days to music artists.
She should have made a song with Bruno Mars, then release that as lead single. People are anticipating his release, only smart to group yourself with an artist who is on the rise/doing well.
Gaga played herself
I don’t get it, before every gaga era, everyone comes with a list of what they want from gagz. First they wanted pop gaga back, then artPOP came out a they hated it. Then they asked gaga to town her image down, and then she did. And people still hate it.
WYD
haters gon be haters and I don’t get why both GaGa and the monsters focus so much on what people who will never be here for her have to say. just put out the good music and give us vocals… regardless of what people say as long as decent numbers keep coming (people clown ArtPop but it still went Gold sales-only in the US – how many albums actually do it on a yearly basis?) and the Grammys keep nominating her her career is set.
I wish her the best, I kind of like this cover, but everything about it is screaming “Jackie”… I hope it doesnt put me to sleep like it..
People are definitely into her. It’s just that they like her more subdued. Her last album sold 800k. That’s close to a million copies, which is still great in this musical climate. She didn’t have a huge huge hit. Some people do want her to fail. But she’s a superstar. She’s doing everything perfectfully. She can perform just as great as Beyonce & she has the ability to move albums. Shoutout to her..
Don’t try to dress it up. ARTPOP was a commercial flop to mega proportions. Selling 800K on the budget and promotion it received, on top of her being touted as one of the biggest and leading pop stars in the world is in no way, shape or form good. She does NOT have the ability to “move albums.”
true. but what’s also true is that a lot of acts with hits bigger than ArtPop’s singles are not close to seeing its ‘floppy’ numbers. so yeah she can move albums.
Put Gaga and Bey on stage together Bey would slaughter this white privileged ho. Don’t compare a black queen to a attention seeking white trash.
Gaga let Mikey and Katy destroy her career.
Why do yall always bring up beyonce? This is GAGA’s era now
Right!! Because we all know Bey slays tf out of this girl..
Beyonce and Gaga are both overrated and overhyped.
“She can perform as great as Beyoncé…” ??? Wtf! I’m tired of you all delusional fans. And that’s why she is flopping hard, stop hyping this girl. She is talented, à good singer and performer but Beyoncé is a way much superior vocalist and performer.
“Her last album sold 800k.”
======
Is that supposed to be good? Gaga gets so propped and media hyped that she should be having sales figures that compete with Adele and Taylor Swift. Instead she’s sitting at the same lunch table as Lana Del Ray and Ariana Grade.
The Pinkprint outsold in the US physical and combined.
You know this album is gonna flop when you take notes from Ciara.
Like Britny JoAN and Glory Hole?
Lol Britney has a had a hit Vegas show for a couple of yeas now. If you consider sellout shows a “flop” then something is wrong with your judgement.
I like the cover a lot. It says minimal, subdued and pretty. But the music says “the same as before with a slight variation” and I’m not feeling that. I want the album to be as different for her as the cover. Here’s hoping
Is the album at least up now for prerder or its too early for such? since we have the album cover.
800k US and 2mil WW.
But is ultravodka gold yet?
Has GloryHòlE outsold ANTi yet?
Ultraviolence is Gold in pure sales and it did ~1.5 million worldwide.
Glory would be lucky to outsell Anti’s US sales alone with its worldwide sales even though Anti is more expensive and was given away for free to 1.4 million people. This is Brits Lotus, Britney Jean was Bionic.
SCREAMING! Not lotus and bisexual on ice
UV is gold in pure sales while Joe will struggle to do that in SPS. He is finished.
No thanks, I never liked Lady Gimmick.
FAD. She’s over. This will flop worse than Anti.
Beyonce gets propped up by the media but her sales aren’t astronomical.. Your point???? LG is right there performance wise with Beyonce. Beyonce just moves hard. Nothing new or groundbreaking. 800k for an album that is considered an underperformance is still pretty good. No matter the promotion, she didn’t have huge hits. It takes more than promo in this climate. Y’all are just haters. She’s doing great & that’s why y’all are bothered.
Stop posting this LIE that Fågpop sold 800K. It barely sold 700K total.
When this does less than BADLANDS first week?
Good luck having half the longevity of that album since its been charting for over a year and is certified platinum. Not even Artpop did that with SPS lmao.
It’s so…… Normal. Finally.
LG’s last album has sold 800k. Nice try though. And Hallmark’s album hasn’t sold over half a million. But it did good though for a new artist. At least it’s close to half a milli. Now, about that platinum album, that wasn’t due to pure sales though. LG sold 800k in pure sales, which is far more impressive than those overrated free streams.
HDD has the receipts right there on their Upcoming Releases page that it hasn’t sold 800K. Badlands is over 400K in pure sales. That’s excellent for a new artist in 2015-2016 whose first hit wasn’t until a year after the album’s release. Thanks for your concern though.
Anyways, sales are dead. Damn near every artist that isn’t A-list is struggling to go gold in pure sales. Except Twenty One Pilots, which are the “‘alternative’ band with relatable lyrics” of the moment that white teenagers are bandwagoning right now because their music is “emotional!!1 and “real!1” The Linkin Park/Imagine Dragons of 2016.

Beautiful and MUUUUUCH better than the artpop and born this way album covers. *sips lemonade*
Excuses. HDD be off sometimes. Billboard been stated that LG’s album sold 800k. Everything that you stated about Heliums album was already noted. It did good for a new artist. Almost gold in pure sales & it’s still selling. Sales are robust for certain artists. If you have radio support, promo & label support you’ll earn success. It’s that simple. There are quite a few country artists doing good sales wise as well along with a few other bands.
What excuses? HDD’s numbers are usually a few thousand off at the absolute most. There’s no way it’s at 800K when it was under 700K when it left the Billboard 200.
I’m not against pure sales at all, but when albums are top ten on the sales chart while selling less than 10K and many albums (Views and Anti especially) are spending months in the top ten while selling 6-7K a week, it’s pretty clear that streaming has taken over.
But yes, country is probably the best selling genre album wise in the US.
Nice name of her album
I actually really like this cover but she better deliver tho cause we’ve been waiting for too long
I swear the trolls on this site constantly spew hate towards GAGA(I will no longer read the opinions of trolls on here who aren’t even buying consumers lol) I’ll read other music buyers opinions on other sites and youtube(THEY LOVE HER) they are the only ones who matter bc they spendin the COINS! , but the reality is you all are just one small group on a site, there is a reason why her team decided to push the release in October vs. The normal thanksgiving week(and no it’s not bc of competition) it’s because I’m sure the insiders are forecasting sales and GAGA is on fire…so get over it! “JOANNE” is destined for greatness and you trolls have no choice on tgj but to swallow LADY GAGA MANIA the next ten weeks. Now keep spewing…GAGA is the TRUTH!!!!!!!
Wow so she is really going back to basics. The cover reminds me of some rock-indie albums from the 90s. At first it looked a little bit too simple to me but it is definitely good. Most exciting thing is Beck, Florence and all those are on this album. Gaga is a true music artist.
I have to say I´ve read some of the most silly and funny things in this post LOL Dead at a Rihanna fan saying if she does less than 250k copies first week it will be a failure. What is Rihanna exactly when she has NEVER been able to do that, not at her best not at her worst and always with hit singles to help her? Seriously!
Then the ones saying Gaga is being “inspired” by Ciara and Tinashe??? LMAO Seriouslt these people seem to don´t know any othe rpucking genre in music except for “urban” and they think anybody anybody worries (or outside the USA knows) about the existence of Ciara or Tinashe. Seriously please! LOL (no shade to those two girls).
Then this pathetic Rosie troll when nobody knows why has a problem with Gaga and keeps coming for her numbers or abilities when he stans for LANA! Look Lana is another amazing musician imo, same as Gaga. With the big difference Gaga can also perform and sing her ass off. You always coming for Gaga´s success or decline as if the huge decline from Born to Die to Ultraviolence (success wise) hadn´t happened, or much worse to Honeymoon (and the absolute letdown that was musically coming from Ultraviolence). So please move on once and for all.
Finally the couple of Beyonce fans who are always so obsessed with bringing Gaga down too (most of them aren´t, I said a couple on here): yes Beyonce can outperform Gaga on a stage energy wise, she can outperform everybody right now on that front. So what? Nobody else exists then? Can Beyonce pucking create her music and play instruments for example? Let´s not act as if each one of these girls have their own talents. And Gaga destroys Beyonce as a musician obviously.
Last but not least: there´s a Selena Lopez fan in this blog that thinks he can come for anybody, musically or commercially 🙂 🙂 🙂
I forgot to mention the one who has said that there are “countries” where people don´t know Beyonce is black and they think she is a white chick with some tan. LMAO Who the puck doesn´t know Beyonce is black? Look nobody knows who Tinashe is in any country, but everybody knows Beyonce is black, ok? That´s for sure. I suppose these people with these arguments think they and their hate can be taken seriously… 🙁
this giving me JLO s vibe . the queen of them all
I feel that she has wore that same hat in her Back It Up video with Pit and Prince Royce.
Hate the cover.
Hater the name.
Her her music.
Hate her fans.
Hate her.
Next article.
Beyonce slaves are bunch of jealous idiots. They always find fault where there is none, neglecting the naked fact that Lemonade is a pure trash. The bleaching b**** can’t even do anything new, over hype helped her. She can’t write her music neither can she sing anymore. They hate to see true talent, they are acting like Gaga is a threat. Mtcheeeew.
