I think Gaga could definitely release an album early next year and not wait until after J:FAD. She has plenty of time. 

Depends if she wants use that time working on music.

Oh GODGA your kindness for the other girls is exceptional!

ESV is doing worse than Plastic Heart. ESV will never reach 3x Platinum like Bangerz did, and at this point it'll not even reach the 34 weeks on the US charts.

It's funny how Chromatica is a flop despite doing better but ESV is doing cute numbers and is a success

It is doing on par with Plastic Hearts, but Plastic Hearts had huge promo (she was doing tons of interviews and performances during that era). She didn't lift a finger to promote ESV (except for that Disney special during the release week).      

Chromatica did pretty well, but it failed to produce any huge hits in the U.S. SL was a flop, and ROM is one of the weakest #1 singles of all time.

No matter what kind of music she will release, she won’t have this huge longevity or success some of us are wanting her to have. Unless something goes viral or will be attached to another huge project, her music will be just as successful as basically all of her releases ever since 2013 (minus ASIB for those reasons). It’s better to stop expecting her to smash and have longevity and instead appreciate her still being active and releasing music.

The five weakest female #1s are:

#1 Trollz

#2 Cardigan

#3 Stuck With U

#4 All Too Well (Taylor's version)

#5 Willow

I guess Ariana dragged ROM down

ROM is in the seventh place. It is even above Hold It Against Me, which I find surprising.

As It Was has 1.4M points

I haven’t figured out yet why Shallow is there with all those weeks on the chart… 

Does it really look weaker than a song which only spent 11 weeks on the chart with this methodology?

It spent only six weeks in the top 10. Unfortunately, its US chart run was really underwhelming (compared to how absolutely massive it was in Europe).

Seven weeks.

Yeah but still, it charted on the Hot 100 for almost a year and it’s approaching Diamond, so I would already consider it bigger than songs which barely charted for 20 weeks (even if they had more weeks in the Top 10). This methodology seems kinda flawed.

But she has proven she can have longevity, the problem is lately she either gets high peaks and bad longevity (SL/ROM) or they have flop chartruns but then pull good streams later on. MR is a great example of this, ARUTW Low-key and it feels like hand is going the same way.
so its like shes not having one or the other

With Chroma yeah it was always going to struggle longevity, but i don't feel like its fair to say any album form now she will put out will  only perform 3-4 weeks top 10 cause there's signs she can combat that.

Gaga getting an album doing 54 weeks on BB200  and spending longer than a month top 10 would be more than fine, and that really isn't asking for too much.

3 (by Britney Spears) bigger than Shallow, why?

Hot 100 points only indicate how successful the song was during its chart run. Shallow has had amazing longevity, but it flopped on the radio, which is why its was charting relatively low during most of its chart run. Since radio is the most stagnant metric, it is key to maintaining longevity on the Hot 100, and Shallow only peaked at #10 on U.S. radio.

No LG7 in 2023 then....so neither in 2024 because of Joker.... so in 2025 then....DAMM 5 years between albums.....I really hope it won't kill her musical career (as happened with Katy for waiting 5 years to release Witness). 

And NO, don't expect seeing Joker's success translate into her music, since a film and an album doesn't necessary relate (except if it's a musical such as ASIB).

 yeah, that's sad

I also think #LG7 is coming early 2024, like the original date of Chromatica
