Lady Gaga Trades One No. 1 Hit For Another
Lady Gaga's 'Abracadabra' returns to No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, replacing her own ... More 'Vanish Into You' and continuing her Mayhem-era dominance. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 03: Lady Gaga performs onstage during the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo byfor The Recording Academy) Lady Gaga is in complete control of one Billboard chart this week – just as was the case last frame. The pop superstar replaces herself at No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, a fairly uncommon move that shows just how popular she still is in the genre, even well after a decade has passed since she first made noise in that space. Last frame, Gaga debuted a brand new cut in the top spot. This week, that track slides to make room for another from her catalog, one that's already proved itself to be a fan favorite. This week, Gaga's 'Abracadabra' bolts from No. 4 to No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. The track originally ruled the ranking earlier this year, and now it's back on top. 'Abracadabra' is the latest official single from Mayhem, Gaga's current full-length. The tune has spent five out of its seven weeks on the chart in first place, and it may very well add to that figure in the coming frames. Just last week, Gaga launched 'Vanish Into You' at No. 1 on the same tally. The tune was an instant bestseller, even though it hasn't been promoted as a single from Mayhem. Instead, fans simply gravitated toward the track and purchased it in large enough numbers to send it to the top. Before 'Vanish Into You' arrived, 'Abracadabra' was already ruling the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. It had just scored its fourth week in the top spot, when the singer-songwriter traded one champion for another. Over the course of her career, Gaga has collected eight No. 1 hits on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. That total includes both 'Vanish Into You' and 'Abracadabra,' which are now the top performers from Mayhem on this list. Interestingly, 'Disease,' the project's lead single, never managed to appear on the ranking in any capacity. Gaga's previous leaders on the tally include 'Stupid Love,' 'Judas,' 'Applause,' 'Rain On Me' with Ariana Grande, 'Telephone' with Beyoncé, and her iconic smash 'Bad Romance.' Last week was especially busy for Gaga on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. In addition to 'Vanish Into You' opening at No. 1, she filled half of the entire top 10. That showing included five debuts: 'Shadow of a Man' landed at No. 3, 'Garden of Eden' at No. 6, her collaboration 'Killah' with Gesaffelstein at No. 8 and 'Love Drug' started at No. 9.

Lady Gaga ‘Mayhem' review: An all-out pop microcosm of her career so far
For Lady Gaga, MAYHEM arrives at a pivotal time in Mother Monster's career. Even if the soaring electro-pop of 'Abracadabra' has become a global hit, Gaga recently admitted that she had been reluctant to look back on similar past successes. 'I didn't want to make this kind of music for a long time even though I had it in me. I felt like being stagnant was just death in my artistry,' she told Zane Lowe. Instead of that aforementioned stagnancy, Gaga ha thankfully combed through her own discography to once again remind everyone that all-out pop music is what she does best. A career high can be found in the multi-facetted dance funk avant-garde drama of 'Vanish Into You'. Now, that might seem like a lot, but Gaga's everything and the kitchen sink approach to the album (and her music as a whole) somehow works perfectly and joyfully. The very DNA that made her previous records like The Fame and Born This Way a success are alive and breathing. Gaga may not have invented distorted production and stuttering pre-choruses, but she does them in a way that no one else can. As a self-proclaimed 'student of music', Gaga wears her influences on her sleeve throughout. This is most evident on the Michael Jackson- infused 'Shadow Of A Man' to the Bowie-meets-Prince funk of 'Killah (feat Gesaffelstein)'. Like her Bowie tribute/cosplay from her now infamous performance of the late stars hits at the 58th GRAMMY Awards, the outcome can feel overproduced and underwritten at times. This can be equal parts cringe and, oddly, charming. Not one to follow trends (may it be fashion or music), the exploration into sounds from the 80s feels fresh and exciting. The 90s grunge through a pop lens 'Perfect Celebrity' speaks of a star that has felt a lot of torture and pressure because of said stardom. 'You love to hate me/I'm the perfect celebrity' Gaga sings. Fame has been a subject Gaga has referenced a lot in her career, but it feels like a self-assured iteration of previous musings. The fame is now something Gaga can fully navigate and own. In looking back, Gaga has delivered an album that acts as an effective and powerful microcosm of her inspirational career so far.
