On new album, ‘Chromatica,’ Lady Gaga boldly declares “this is the dancefloor I fought for.” A statement that indeed mirrors her reality.

After embracing a more stripped-back, analogue sound on 2016’s ‘Joanne’ and ‘A Star Is Born’s soundtrack (for which she earned as Oscar), the Pop force makes a grand return to the high-octane sonics that saw her become one of music’s most magnetic talents.

And it appears the move is paying off.

Having hit #5 with lead single ‘Stupid Love,’ she – as at writing – is tipped to top the Hot 100 with follow-up ‘Rain On Me’ featuring Ariana Grande. 

Armed with this momentum, will the album itself deliver commercially? The first week sales predictions are here and bring with it an early indication of the answer.
