    Instagram

    The ‘Rain on Me’ singer has entered the U.K. albums chart at the top spot with her sixth studio album, marking the fourth time she tops the weekly album rankings across the pond.
    Jun 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa has landed her fourth U.K. number one with the fastest-selling album of the year so far.
    “Chromatica” has debuted at the top with 53,000 equivalent sales units, outperforming the rest of the top 10 combined.
    The project, Gaga’s first solo album since “Joanne” in 2016, forces KSI to hold steady at two with “Dissimulation” ahead of Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent” at three.
    Meanwhile, three tracks from “Chromatica” have also charted in the U.K. singles countdown, with last week’s May 29, 2020 number one, “Rain on Me” with Ariana Grande, slipping to two, while “Sour Candy”, featuring K-pop stars Blackpink, and “Alice” enter at number 17 and 29, respectively.
    Rapper DaBaby takes “Rockstar” back to first place for a third non-consecutive week as “Rover” by S1mba featuring DTG is a non-mover at three.

    Instagram

    ‘Rain on Me’ enters Britain’s Official Charts Company rundown at number one on the same day the ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker releases her highly-anticipated album, ‘Chromatica’.
    May 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa and Ariana Grande’s duet “Rain on Me” has stormed to the top of the U.K. pop chart.
    The “Bad Romance” hitmaker and Ariana’s collaboration enters Britain’s Official Charts Company rundown at number one on the same day GaGa releases her new album, “Chromatica”.
    Speaking to OfficialCharts.com, the singer/actress reveals she’s thrilled a song she wrote at an extremely low point is now a huge hit.
    “If someone told me the day I wrote ‘Rain on Me’, a day I was crying water like misery, that this song would someday be number one, I never would have believed them,” she explains. “Thank you for celebrating this song. It’s my gift to you, to celebrate yourself. I hope the whole world is dancing.”

    “To all my U.K. monsters (her fans), I love you so much from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for making me number one, and I hope you feel number one every time you listen to this song.”
    GaGa and Ariana now each have six U.K. number one singles and their new hit becomes the first all-female collaboration to top the chart in six years, following the “7 Rings” hitmaker’s “Bang Bang” collaboration with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, which shot to number one in 2014.
    Last week’s number one, DaBaby and Roddy Ricch’s “Rockstar” falls to two, S1mba and DTG’s “Rover” is at three, Doja Cat’s “Say So” slips two places to four, and Powfu’s collaboration with Beabadoobee, “Death Bed”, completes the top five.
    In the albums chart, The 1975 win a close battle with YouTuber-turned-rapper KSI to top the rundown with their new record “Notes on a Conditional Form”. KSI’s “Dissimulation” is at two, ahead of Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent”.

    Dua Lipa’s “Future Nostalgia” and U.S. rapper Gunna’s “Wunna” complete the top five.

    Lady GaGa Calls Off Album Release Party Amid Minneapolis Protests

    Instagram

    The ‘Chromatica’ singer has decided to pull the plug on the party celebrating her sixth studio album amid the ongoing protests to seek justice for George Floyd.
    May 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa pulled the plug on a planned virtual album playback party on Friday, May 29, 2020 because the violence in Minnesota had left her raw and emotional.
    The “Stupid Love” singer was looking forward to hosting a listening session for her new release, “Chromatica”, but postponed the online fan get together in light of current events, including the protests regarding the death of African-American George Floyd, who was killed at the hands of white police officers on Monday, May 25, 2020.
    On Thursday night, protesters set fire to a police precinct, while U.S. leader Donald Trump was heavily criticised for posting threatening tweets to the activists.
    And Gaga wasn’t in a celebratory, album-release mood when she woke up to all the drama on Friday.
    “As much as I want to listen to Chromatica together as a global group of kindness punks right now, our kindness is needed for the world today,” she wrote. “I’m going to postpone our listening session right now and encourage you all to take this time to register to vote and raise your voice.”
    “I’m so glad the album is bringing you some joy, because that’s what I always wanted it to do. We’ll reschedule this very soon.”
    Her comments came hours after Taylor Swift condemned Trump for a tweet in which he threatened, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
    The pop star took to social media and wrote, “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.”

    The partnership is designed to promote the launch of “Chromatica”, which drops on Friday, May 29, and to sweeten the deal, app users can enter the album title at checkout to score free delivery.
    GaGa had previously planned to debut the project in April, but postponed its release due to the coronavirus outbreak.
    Breaking the news of the delay to fans back in March, the singer shared, “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right for me to release this album with all that (is) going on during this global pandemic.”
    “Chromatica” is the Oscar winner’s first new album since 2016’s “Joanne”.

    Ariana Grande Finds Lady GaGa's Hands-On Approach to Their Collaboration 'Awesome'

    Instagram

    Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music, the ‘Thank You, Next’ hitmaker talks about working together with the ‘Born This Way’ singer on their new single ‘Rain on Me’.
    May 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande had a great time working with Lady GaGa on their new single “Rain on Me”, revealing the “Poker Face” singer was hands-on when it came to all aspects of the collaboration.
    The “thank u, next” singer had no idea what to expect when she signed on to work with GaGa and now reveals it was one of the most fulfilling collaborations.
    Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music on Friday (May 22), Ariana said, “She does do a really fantastic job riding that line of being like, ‘Hey, it is what it is’, but also, like, ‘I’m going to give you a f**king show, and I’m going to pick every color that’s on the screen – every lighting, every shot, every wig that every dancer is wearing. Every, everything. I’m going to pick, I’m going to help Ari with picking her make-up and her hair…’ ”
    “It’s awesome. I really love seeing her have the point of view, and such gentleness at the same time. And respect for another artist at the same time.”
    Grande also admitted she loved enjoying pure pop moments with her new pal, “It feels so fun to be a part of something so upbeat and, like, straight pop again, because I do feel like it’s been a minute since I’ve done something that poppy, and that’s funny because I am a pop person, but it’s just, everyone knows that my heart is kind of rooted in the R&B influence music that I make, and that’s where my heart is, but it just felt so good and fun and happy to dip a toe into her world a little bit, and to try this on for size.”
    “The video is so GaGa and so fun. I had so much fun. I was like, ‘I’ve never dressed like this in my life. I’m just having the best time.’ ”

    Lady GaGa Admits to Challenging Ariana Grande to Sing While Watching Her Dance

    Instagram

    Aside from praising her ‘Rain on Me’ collaborator, the ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker reveals that she sent Billie Eilish flowers after the ‘Bad Guy’ singer won big at one awards show.
    May 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa put her “Rain on Me” duet partner Ariana Grande on the spot by asking her to sing, while she performed an interpretive dance in front of her.
    The “Poker Face” star admits her new pal had no idea what to expect when GaGa asked her to join her in the studio – and she really tested her.
    “I think maybe she assumed that it’d be that she came in and I was like, ‘Here, just sing this and thank you so much for your time,'” Gaga tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, “but instead I asked her what she needed, how she wanted to do things…
    “I said to her, ‘OK, now everything that you care about while you sing, I want you to forget it and just sing. And by the way, while you’re doing that, I’m going to dance in front of you’, because we had this huge big window…
    “She was like, ‘Oh my God. Oh my God. I can’t. I can’t. I don’t know. Oh my God. OK, OK’. And then I did it and she sang, and she started to do things with her voice that was different. And it was the joy of two artists going, ‘I see you…’ We create things that make us feel comfortable. We put them all around. I do it all the time. We all do things to make ourselves feel safe.
    “I always challenge artists when I work with them. I go, ‘Make it unsafe, make it super f**king unsafe and then do it again’. And it was just awesome to watch her.”
    During the interview with Lowe, GaGa also heaped praise on Billie Eilish, revealing she sent her flowers after one awards show where the “Bad Guy” singer piled up the wins.

    “There was one night where she just swept a whole bunch of awards and I said, ‘Send her some flowers’. I wrote her a note and, for me, it’s healing, because I go, ‘You know what? That hurt me that I didn’t get that, but that’s OK, because I’m going to be that for someone else’. And me being that for anyone is also a gift for me.”
