Lady Gaga In 2020: Her Year In Review on the Billboard Chart

As Lady Gaga returns to her spot as the top Dance/Electronic Artist, we take a closer look at where she and her music placed on Billboard’s 2020 Year-End Charts. 
Returning to her roots, Lady Gaga began 2020 with the release of, Stupid Love, the first single off her newest album, Chromatica. The tumultuous year saw the release of the second single, Rain On Me, amid a global pandemic. However, this did not dim its success as the song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The initial planned release of her new studio album did not go as planned as Lady Gaga decided to withhold her album to focus on helping the world during the pandemic as well as give space, time, and a platform for the #BlackLivesMatter movement that swept the United States in the spring and summer.

The album's eventual release on May 29th saw the album hit number one on the Billboard Hot 200. The success of the singles, album tracks, and the album itself are are all assembled bellow as I have gone through Billboard’s extensive catalogue of its year-end charts and have compiled a list where Lady Gaga appears in the top 50. 
First, we have the main category which consists of the Hot 100 Songs, Billboard 200 Albums, Top 100 Artists, as well as a sponsored Google chart, Google’s Top 200 Hummed Songs. 
Rain On Me - #48 on Billboard Hot 100  Chromatica - #50 on Billboard Hot 200 Lady Gaga - #50 on Top Artists Bad Romance - #20 Google’s Top Hummed Songs  Shallow  - #34 Google’s Top Hummed Songs  Following the main categories, we have the Digital Songs Sales category. This is a category of the best selling songs from pure digital sales like on iTunes or when someone receives a code to a digital version of the album when they buy merchandise off her official store. 
Lady Gaga - #25 Top Digital Sales Artists  Rain On Me - #21 Top Digital Songs Sales  The Social 50 Artists Chart ranks artists based on their popularity on all major social platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. 
Lady Gaga - #27 Social 50 Artists  Radios also enjoyed Rain On Me, as it made the Top 40 Pop Songs list.
Rain On Me - #40 Pop Songs  Adults thoroughly appreciated Lady Gaga as the pop category sees her on multiple charts including Top Adult Pop Songs.

It does however track physical and digital sales. 
Chromatica - #8 Top Album Sales  Chromatica - #9 Top Current Album Sales  Lady Gaga - #9 Top Album Sales Artist  Closing out the chart we have the Top Soundtracks and Lady Gaga’s 2018, A Star Is Born, has made the list as the film saw a release on Netflix as well as being released for viewing on cable networks. 
A Star Is Born - #4 Soundtracks
Norbert Schoerner
Reclaiming her throne as the Top Dance/Electronic Artist, Lady Gaga has achieved her goal of returning to her dance-pop roots. The charts indicate that the pop titan is able to masterfully keep her fans engaged as Rain On Me and Chromatica debuted at number one. Even her older music has been enjoyed by listeners as Poker Face, Bad Romance, and her debut album The Fame (2008) all have spots on Billboard’s 2020 year-end chart. Also, A Star Is Born continues to captivate audiences as it was the fourth best selling soundtrack of 2020. The single, Shallow,  also continues to charm listeners as it just reached a billion views on YouTube last week. 
In July, Bloomberg Magazine named Lady Gaga the world's biggest star due to the chart success and sales of her Chromatica album. It garnered 400,000 units in the album's first month. During that first month, she also became the most listened to artist on Spotify while simultaneously holding the number one spot on YouTube with almost 189 million views. According to ChartMasters.org, as of December 2020, Chromatica has achieved 680,000 units in the United States. Rain On Me has 542,000 units, Stupid Love is at 264,000 , and Sour Candy is at 194,000 units. 
In Chromatica's first week, Billboard reports that it debuted with 274,000 units as well as having 87.16 million on-demand streams, which at the time was the highest numbers seen for a pop album. When interviewing about making the album, Lady Gaga said:
"I'm a savage when I want to write a pop song".

Welcome back on GagaNow.net

Hello to everyone that is returning and also to anyone who is joining us for the first time. I am delighted to announce that Lady Gaga Now is finally back online. 
The last year has brought many challenges to everyone. It has been a difficult year for us here at Lady Gaga Now. The shock of having your life's work erased from existence brought me many challenges and left me in a position where I could really take the time to reflect on the future.
It's no secret that GagaNow made many enemies on its path to today, but I never thought they would harm the whole community. To be honest, the hate never bothered me as I'm a very positive person by nature. However, this time they hit at the core and it hurt. The pain presented me great difficulties, but also made me reflect about how I wanted to move forward. Everyone knows that I care about about Little Monsters' welfare, but most of all I believe in Lady Gaga's message of kindness and positivity. And so I decided to start everything again with a new purpose. I want this community to be kinder and open.  I want your stories, art, and voices to be heard, and I hope I'll manage to give each one of you, the space and respect you all deserve. I want the intention of Lady Gaga Now to be the driving force in how it differentiates itself from its competition.
I do not think that what I do here is better than other places, it is just different. Different in its purpose.
With this new goal in mind the amazing team that worked so hard day and night to bring back everything in record time was able to recover more than 7 years of work in just 5 months. This includes all 140,000+ images in GAGAIMAGES, all the latest articles, and many more surprises that I will now briefly explain.
Thank you for sticking with us, I will forever be grateful for your endless support.
Thank you to everyone who sent donations to help us recover the website so fast.
Thank you to Lady Gaga's team, especially the superlative Bobby Campbell who believes in our community and gave me the strength to go forward.
Enjoy the journey and welcome back!
Matteo
A New Domain
You might have noticed our website is now reachable at GAGANOW.NET. Starting from the new year we are going to slowly move from our previous domain ladygaganow.co. With this new rebranding, GagaNow.Net is will be our new official domain. 
GAGAIMAGES is coming along, and will now be available at GAGAIMAGES.NET
The Dashboard
The new GagaNow homepage will be your new favorite homepage! 
In this new one-in-all dashboard, you'll quickly find the latest news, upcoming events, the latest pictures on GAGAIMAGES, and the main feed from the forum. We also added a special place to highlight the most talented artist in this fanbase.
We will periodically sponsor the most talented monsters giving them a platform so they can be noticed and uplifted by others in the fanbase. 

The Layout
The layout of a website is almost as important as its content. For a web developer like me, it has been so challenging to create a total new experience that still felt familiar. So I'm happy to show you the 3 new themes of GagaNow.net. You can pick them using the new button on the top bar.

The new Chromatica layout has been developed to give you the most colorful experience possible. Following the most modern Flat Style Design, this theme features a rainbow animation up to reflects Lady Gaga's latest album cycle. 
If you are a person who loves options, you can explore Lady Gaga Now by changing it to the Dark Chromatica theme. Enjoy this dark fantasy with a layout created for viewing in low lit areas.
We also have a new theme called Day which is a fantastic way for you to experience the website as well in its lightest and fastest form. 
The Forum
The creature that has been worked on the most is the forum. Thank you to a veteran monster, @Twitter, I've revamped our forum to give you a brand new, safe, and positive space to discuss your favorite topics. Kindness is the key here at Lady Gaga Now does not allow any forms of racism, xenophobia, discrimination. Anything deemed as bullying or hateful will result in consequences. We are here to uplift, inform, and experience together. 
Joining discussions on the forum will also grant you special powers on the community, such as lifting the download limit on Gagaimages, the possibility to use GIFS or a cover picture on your profile and gain access to a special section on the gallery.

Lady Gaga Now + The Mighty
I'm very proud of this one. 
In the last few months we have lost one too many Little Monsters due to suicide. It is incredibly heartbreaking to read their story for such a long time and having the knowledge that it is now too late to do anything. The truth is that it is never too late to help the others. I've seen with my own eyes that this fanbase has a good and kind soul. Monsters writing "my dms are open" or "please talk to me if you need to", are the the ones who embrace better the spirit and message of Lady Gaga and Lady Gaga Now. I've been working hard to give a safe space and a voice to those fans who might need support and do not know where to find it. We want to help as much as we can. 

Thanks to our friends at the Born This Way Foundation, we were put in contact with The Mighty so we are now able to offer a safe place. The Mighty is an association and an online community whose main goal of giving a space to people who are in need, want to share their stories, and want to be heard. Thanks to their amazing community, hundreds of people have been able to support each other by joining the online video groups and message groups. 
Lady Gaga Now will now offer a similar experience in the forum. It is an extension provided by The Mighty community. I'm also working on an anonymous way of posting so that those who are more shy can feel comfortable. For now, you can still share your story behind your private account.
More details of our collaboration with The Mighty will come soon.
In the meantime join their community, or download their mobile app. It's really worth it.
The Forum Game
We are here to keep you engaged!
At first I thought leaks and outtakes was the best way to keep people interested, but following the Billboard news-drama that I delivered back in January, and the sudden leak of Stupid Love I didn't feel comfortable anymore about sharing details about upcoming plans as Lady Gaga Now is a respectful place to everyone, including Lady Gaga and her team. So I decided to step back and give you guys something with a real value: prizes.

Starting January 2021, the forum will host a new type of giveaway:
Every two weeks, the most active user will receive a special prize from us. The two most active users will receive a Golden Pit Standing tickets to the Chromatica Ball in Paris each. 
To join the game, you simply have to post and reply on our forum. Each new topic will grant you 3 points, replies and positive reactions will grant you 1 point. Posting in the Mental Health section will grant you 5 points for each new topic, and 3 points for each answer.
Spamming, receiving negative reactions, or posting toxic comments will make you loose points or get disqualified from the game. The users atop the leaderboard will win one prize from the drawing. A small leaderboard will be always available on the dashboard and on the forum. Our LGN Mobile App will feature a complete leaderboard. 
Each user can win up to 1 prize during the whole game. However, even those who already won something can still win the final prize.
The game is open worldwide. The tickets will be delivered on the venue to ensure that they don't get resold. If the concert will get cancelled we will try to find replacement prizes. We reserve the right to cancel a win at any time.
Here are the prizes.

The Gallery
GAGAIMAGES is back! The original and most updated Lady Gaga gallery on the whole web is now available for everyone to use. 
The main set of pictures will be available to everyone for free. Candids and pictures from the events will be available only to users with an active account on the website. All pictures have now been resized to deliver a faster experience, so do not worry if you open a picture and it doesn't looks massive as before. The original pictures are always available after you'll click the "download button". 
To avoid batch downloading I set a limit to 50 daily downloads and 5GB of traffic from each user. The limits resets every 24 hours.
The MEME section is also back, feel free to upload all the gaga-related memes in your gallery!

Thank you to my new team of collectors @hiimer0s, @Pabllo, @GagaXCollection, @Juan & @dayvisxn  for helping me re-upload and re-ordering ALL albums by date. This fanbase should make you all a statue! 
Also, you might want to look at some albums in the next day, you might find some surprises.
The App
The LGN Mobile App will soon be back online on the App Store as well as for Androids in the Play Store along with the loved notification system.
Unfortunately Apple reviewers are on holiday, so the app will be on again from earlier January. But don't worry, as soon as it will be operative we will start working on it to make the mobile experience even bigger with games, a gallery, and much much more!

The Welcome Back Giveaway
To celebrate the re-opening of Lady Gaga Now, we teamed up with Instagram artist GagaStackFigure to gift you an exclusive Lady Gaga action figure. We will randomly pick a user that will join our forum starting today to December 31. You must follow GagaStackFigures on Instagram as well. 
The user will be picked on Instagram and the figure will be sent later in January as soon as Amaury, the artist, will print his next creation.
Good luck!

You
I really hope you guys enjoy the new website, I developed everything with love. I really can't wait to hear your feedbacks. Your messages and reviews are always welcomed, just like your help. The leak section has been moved under "contact us", a new section that everyone can use to reach out to us, wether is to ask for help, send us media or let us know about something we missed.
What's Coming Next
There is always something to do. Ideas keep coming and the Lady Gaga Now team take all of our projects incredibly seriously. We are about them and put our everything into it. We are working hard to bring back our merchandise shop so that we can give platforms to young designers. We just ask you to be patient, many other stores have popped up, and many other will come, but we assure you that the quality you'll find with us won't be available elsewhere.
With that said, we have many secret projects coming soon! And with new Lady Gaga music on the way in the new year we hope we will manage to keep you guys entertained! 
Thank you everyone, Stay safe.
Thank you to my LadyGagaNow family
Without you, I would be nothing. Thank you for allowing me to sleep at night.

Lady Gaga's "One World: Together at Home" Breaks Guinness World Records

Lady Gaga has broken two more Guinness World Records with her One World: Together At Home online music festival. 
The records are:
- Most Money Raised for Charity by a Remote Music Festival
- Most Musical Acts to Perform at a Remote Music Festival 
Instead of releasing her sixth studio album, Chromatica, on its scheduled date, Lady Gaga pushed it back in favor of curating the giant online benefit concert in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This remote music festival with 72 celebrities brought in $127,900,000 to support efforts by the COVID-19 Solidaritthe Response Fund for the World Health Organization.

Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said of the concert: "The One World: Together at Home special was an extraordinary response to an extraordinary situation. It demonstrates vividly how the power of music can unite us all and help us through challenging times. It's an honor to be able to officially recognize this unforgettable, "I-Was-There" event as a record-breaker.”

With these two added, this brings Lady Gaga's Guinness World Records count to 14.

Kelly Clarkson and Garth Brooks Cover "Shallow"

Kelly Clarkson and Garth Brooks had an impromptu jam session to "Shallow" on her talkshow, The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Prior to the performance, Clarkson spoke about how Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, had recently covered the song themselves. Brooks stated an audience member requested he and his wife sing it, and he felt enticed to do it. His wife had seen the movie, and while he had not, he said the opening chords drew him in, "That's every country song and James Taylor kind of mixed."
"I love it," Clarkson said in return.
Brooks then invited Clarkson to try their hand at performing the song together (2:15):
This is not the first time Clarkson has praised and covered Lady Gaga. Throughout the past decade, Clarkson has been known to sing various Gaga songs at her concerts such as "You and I," "Bad Romance," and now most recently "Shallow."

In a recent Vanity Fair interview, Billie Eilish name dropped a handful of celebrities that have told her she could reach out to them if she ever needed anything, Lady Gaga being one of them. She specifically recalled Lady Gaga having a similar start as her and knowing the good and the bad parts of the industry. She said, "Gaga has said it to me before [about reaching out]. It's nice to hear from people that, like, have gone through this and know what it's like, and went through the sh*t of it and went through the amazing parts of it. It's nice to hear."
Lady G7033629847961Gaga revealed earlier this year in an interview with Apple Music that she reached out to Eilish because the younger woman's introduction to the industry mirrored her own. "I wrote her a note. For me, it’s healing because it hurt me that I didn’t get that. I’m going to be that for someone else." She continued on to say, "I really hope that young female artists – or young artists of any gender identity or sexual identity – will know that I am rooting for them."

Nick Knight Goes Behind the Scenes with Jo Calderone

Ten years ago, Lady Gaga and fashion photographer and founder/director of SHOWStudio, Nick Knight, created the concept of Jo Calderone for Vogue Japan. The Haus of Gaga would continue to tease the true identity of Calderone until his introduction to the world at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
Knight celebrated the anniversary of this creation by going behind the scenes with this exclusive fashion video and many never-seen before pictures from the set.
"@ladygaga's alter-ego Joe Calderone made their first public appearance in my editorial under the working title ‘Elegant Mechanics’ in 2010, wearing the likes of @emporioarmani, @prada and @givenchyofficial.⠀
⠀
Filmed in the infamous black basement room in the Bruton Place SHOWstudio in London’s Mayfair Gaga wanted to give a 100% authentic performance as a man . As part of this we set up a gentleman’s urinal complète with plumbing, which Joe Calderone used during the film .
Gaga later signed the white urinal and it still has pride of place at the current SHOWstudio. This is the first time this fashion film has appeared online. Previously only showcased in the basement of SHOWstudio's old premises at Bruton Place, we projected it on the very wall against which it was shot .The film was made while shooting Gaga/Calderone for @voguejapan, and when Gaga’s P.A showed up on set, she stood unaware next to Joe Calderon and looking increasingly worried, she asked- where is Gaga? Has anyone seen Gaga ????"
You can find more about the shootings on ShowStudio website.

The three minute clip then dives into the questions for the director.

Q: "What drew you to the Lady Gaga 911 film?"
TS: "I have just 3 or 4 stupid ideas that I've had since college. I just stick by them, and sometimes when a song comes along, you go, "Alright it fits." Or it doesn't. Sometimes it takes 2 years, and in this particular case, it's taken 28 years. When I heard the song, the thing that clicked it was [the fact] they sent that classical piece [Chromatica II] up ahead with it. Because that classical piece was there, I knew what the front would be. So when she explained to me what the song was about, I had a periphery of an idea. And once she told me, I said, "Okay, I can tailor it even more, [...] it'll just be about somebody who didn't take their medication and ended up causing an accident, or was in an accident, and has taken all the things around them and abstracted them in a format that kind of doesn't give it away until you realize the 3rd time." When I told it to her, she said there can be no other idea that is the music video. So I got up and I kind of did a victory lap. When I sat back down in the chair, I realized that she was crying. And then I kind of realized that it was a really personal thing for her. It's their song, you're Interpreting it in a particular way."
Q: "Why is it important to see it as you intended?"
TS: "I'm Indian so I tend to like color. It's very important that you know all the colors and what it reflects because if you watch it on a bad thing you'll judge it with that.  For me, I wish everybody could watch it on an LG TV. If you can and want to see what the filmmaker intended, if you want to see how crushed the blacks are, and how the contrast ratio is perfect, I would say watch it on that."

Q: "Can you elaborate on the ending?"
TS: I thought let's see a billboard, and the billboard affects them. It says Life's Good. This is the person on the brink of, "shall I let go? Shall I die?" And she sees this and she's reacting to Life's Good, and she goes, "I don't want to die."


Lady Gaga ends the exclusive footage with, "the LG OLED TVs and this special version of the film will allow you to see the vibrant colors, dramatic blacks, infinite contrast, and other details of our film unlike anywhere else. We hope you enjoy. Much love."

''This version of the film will push the boundaries of the visuals and truly deliver the vibrant colors, dramatic blacks, and infinite contrast the way we envisioned them. We hope you enjoy this special version of our film which will allow you to see the details unlike anywhere else!”...and sure they did it.
The alternative editing of '911' immerses you in a totally different experience, showing very vibrant colors, new camera angles, and a longer and shocking final, which according to Singh, was filmed in one take. ''I knew I wasn’t going to get too many takes…I only did one wide shot and jumped in on her face. In the wide one, I could tell she broke down straight away.''

The Making Of Lady Gaga's Portraits by Robert Wilson

In October 2013, director and visual artist Robert Wilson premiered ''Portraits of Lady Gaga'' as part of his solo exhibition 'Living Rooms.' Robert got inspiration from paintings in the Louvre’s collection and conversations with Lady Gaga regarding ideas about beauty, torture, sainthood, and perception.
Lady Gaga starred in Wilson's video interpretations of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s 1806 work Portrait of Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière, Jacques-Louis David’s 1806 painting The Death of Marat, and Andrea Solari’s 1507 work The Head of Saint John The Baptist. Lady Gaga recites a text by the Marquis de Sade while the portraits are showing.
Today, a behind-the-scenes video has been revealed showing from the sketch process to costume fittings, makeup, production, and post-production such as VFX and color correction. The final video was also featured before the 'ARTPOP Fashion Film' at the artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball.

The pop legend told Elle Magazine, “I’d love to work with more women, as I haven’t done much of that. You could say any of the top girls right now: Dua is definitely having a great time. Lady Gaga, Miley [Cyrus]. I admire these women.”
When asked who inspires her, Minogue said, "I think Lady Gaga is a great example. She is just a powerhouse. She seems fearless; I'm sure she's not. All performers have their insecurities. All of us are trying at each stage of your life to do something different, to be bold, to be respected, to be all of those things."
