Lady Gaga is strutting towards the October 21st release of her fifth studio album ‘Joanne.’

And she’s doing so with ample momentum.

As reported, the singer has been named as the headline act at the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show and is also embarking on a mini-tour in partnership with Bud Light.

Despite the major gigs, Gaga is still not averse to hitting the traditional promo trail.

Case in point her stop at 97.1 AMP radio.

There, the 30-year-old stripped back new single ‘Perfect Illusion’ to its rawest form and belted it out as a piano ballad.

As of time this story is being reported Solange‘s new album, ‘A Seat at the Table,’ is taking a seat at the #1 spot on iTunes.

The “surprise” release, which has spurred some seriously high praise from critics, comes as quite the crowning achievement for the 30-year-old who – at one period of time – was quite the polarizer on the critical front. While some praised the eclecticism found on her last official LP (2008’s ‘Sol-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams’), others argued the singer/songwriter was “trying too hard” to visually and sonically distance herself from the offerings of her older sister Beyonce.

From the looks of her predicted sales, record buyers agree:

As reported, the Britney Spears promo train pulled into the ‘Jonathan Ross Show’ this weekend.

There, the Pop princess took to the stage and performed current single ‘Make Me.’

Prior to that though, she sat down for what was easily one of her most relaxed interviews in years.

A series of factors have limited her press activity and accessibility since 2007. However, with a new album in ‘Glory’ to plug, it seems the sparks of her personality are back.

While chopping it up with funnyman Ross, the 34-year-old dished on music, dating, getting high accidentally, and more. She even played a series of games.
