Stupid Love had a high peak based off hype - i believe it stayed on the chart for 13 weeks which is abysmal for 1. A lead single and 2. A gaga single.

Its true that Rain On Me was only as big as it was because of Ariana. Unfortunately GaGas popularity and star power in the “pop girl” lane/status has faded as she’s abandoned the sound for too long. She knew she needed one of the newer stars to aid the inevitable underperformance of this era because the music just isnt there. I never thought i’d say this but if she wants success and more recognition she needs to go back to the more stripped back sound/image. Not a contrived Joanne concept/album though, even thoigh it was moderately successful the music was crap barring 2-3 songs.

Chromatica may be a cohesive dance album but its not appealing to the masses and it only has a handful of good songs (of which i dont see any having potential for full single treatment). Sour Candy already had a nice peak due to BlackPink hype, but that wouldnt translate into longevity.

“Alice” is the only other undeniably good song left (I also like Babylon but thats never going to be a single) but its just too 90’s and niche to be a worldwide single. Maybe with an excellent video it could have some legs.

Quite sad to see that shes not able to make great songs on her own anymore - miss the fame monster days!
