Lady Gaga - Mayhem

[Vasilios]

Ranking her third singles:

Abracadabra
The Edge of Glory
Alejandro
I'll Never Love Again
Joanne
911
G.U.Y.
Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)

The way these are all 9s and more

 

[La Toya]

I don’t care how much she or her team try to retcon DWAS to manipulate figures. The Fame Monster is her second album and Abracadabra is Mayhem’s second single.

 

[ColloquialNostalgia]

My ranking:

Abracadabra
The Edge of Glory
Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)
911
Alejandro
G.U.Y.
Joanne
I'll Never Love Again (I can't rank this on account of never listening to it)

I also think Eh Eh is hugely underrated, one of her best

All these being third singles... the quality...

Cherry cherry boom boom.

 

[Vogue]

I think you’re all forgetting that Alejandro is the best song of all time

 

[madgemad]

Mirror imaged and slowed down, this 37 year old is about to learn their first dance routine since Judas.

Not this being so similar to my ranking:

Abracadabra
Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)
911
G.U.Y.*
Alejandro*
The Edge of Glory
Joanne
I'll Never Love Again**

*these two flip very often.
**one of the better songs from ASIB18 but still, nah.

 

[ColloquialNostalgia]

Reading the Beyoncé thread is making me so hungry to see her on tour.

Announce it Gar

 

[reputation.]

Still holding so well on Spotify. Biggest increase in the Top 10 after Kendrick's SuperBowl boost.

WW #7 (-2) 6,687,740 (+533,696)
US #9 (-3) 1,556,646 (+6,161)
UK #4 (+1) 389,656 (+37,384)
Brazil #10 (+13) 687,435 (+107,190)

 

[Vanish Into You]

One thing I've noticed about Abracadabra and why it's such a welcomed homecoming: that Gaga sound cadence and melody flow. The way it slides easily to or from Donatella, the way it dubs perfectly over the music video of Alejandro. It really feels as if there had not been 12 years passed by.

 

[Sprinkles]

Is she holding a puppet or...?

 

[GimmeWork]

Edge of Glory, Alejandro and even 911 being ranked mid-to-low on some of these "3rd single" lists....

 

[RJF]

Not a third single tier list for fuck sake EVERYBODY GO OUTSIDE.

The fact that these were third singles but the respective campaigns felt a million years old

 

[mayhem]

At least this has broken a decade long curse of the third single being a six months too late, sorry please still come to my tour, thank you gift to fans.

 

[V3RYP05H]

Only due to the retroactive decision to include DWAS. Watch the fourth single still roll out like that, nn.

I mean...her second singles have also mostly been cursed / last minute switch ups too.

 

[mindtrappa]

Yeah, she hasn’t had a single run that’s gone smoothly… ever. Throwback to when “Beautiful Dirty Rich” was the original second single from The Fame before being switched for “Poker Face” at the literal last second. Plus them throwing “Vanity” out as a promo single at the same time? The Fame probably got it the worst when it came to mess and confusion surrounding singles because it was still the era of regional releases, but every album has had at least one last minute switch up.

 

[Sam de Jour]

Wait did Chromatica have a last min switch?

 

[RMK]

And Beautiful Dirty Rich I believe was the track that got her signed? It's a great song for sure, but it's so interesting despite so much material being recorded after (with RedOne) a lot of bets remained on that one.
