Lady Gaga’s Little Monsters Are Freaking Out Over ‘Chromatica’
Little Monsters finally have some fresh meat to bite into. After a six-week delay, Lady Gaga sixth studio album Chromatica has finally arrived in all its glory. The new LP features collaborations with Ariana Grande, Elton John and Blackpink and is executive produced by Gaga and BloodPop. Spanning 16 tracks, Chromatica marks Mother Monster’s return to pop seven years after Artpop was unleashed. Judging by the early reaction, it was worth the wait. After dropping at midnight across digital music services, social media lit up with memes and messages as Gaga’s fans turned in and got turned on by the new album. This one has a lot of hype, and some Little Monsters are calling it the GOAT. Check out some of the reaction below. ALICE -10/10STUPID LOVE – 10/10RAIN ON ME – 10/10FREE WOMA...
Lady Gaga’s ‘Chromatica’ is the Summer Dance-Pop Escape We Needed
“I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive,” Lady Gaga sings on her new Ariana Grande duet, “Rain On Me.” It’s a timely sentiment: this year has forced many of us to recognize that, while we’d rather our circumstances be different, at least we’re breathing, and able to reflect upon that newfound sense of gratitude. “Rain On Me” and the rest of Gaga’s new album Chromatica were likely finished before the coronavirus pandemic brought the world to an unexpected standstill — after all, its lead single, “Stupid Love,” was released in late February, back before the words “social” and “distancing” had been smushed together and made to define modern society. Yet the timing of Chromatica still feels uncanny, as if Gaga’s long-awaited return to the dance-pop aesthetic that made her a household ...
Gunna Gearing Up for First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart
Plus: The 1975 set for top 10 debut with “Notes on a Conditional Form.” Gunna is set for his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, according to industry forecasters. Sources suggest his new effort, Wunna, may launch atop next week’s tally with perhaps over 100,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 28. Nearly all of the album’s first-week units will be driven by streaming activity. Wunna was released on May 22 via Young Stoner Life/300. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which comprises traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The top 10 of the June 6-dated Billboard 200 chart (where Wunna could debut at No. 1) is scheduled t...
ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus Named President of CISAC
Björn Ulvaeus, a co-founder of ABBA who wrote the group’s hits with his bandmate Benny Andersson, was today (May 29) named the president of CISAC, the global confederation of authors societies. Known for his business-savvy, as well as his interest in technology, Ulvaeus steps into the role at a time when Internet companies and collecting societies are learning to live with one another but still have very different views on how streaming services should work and what they should pay creators. “I tend to think that creators get too little, of course, because I’m a songwriter, and I think that in the long run we have to take a closer look at how things are divided,” Ulvaeus told Billboard over Zoom before his appointment became official. “It all starts with the song, as far as I’m concerned. ...

Rush Share Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary Reissue: Stream
Rush have shared a 40th anniversary reissue of their classic 1980 album Permanent Waves. Stream it below with Apple Music or Spotify. Permanent Waves was a defining moment in the prog-rock era. Rush eased back from the epic song formats that had defined their first six albums, producing tight, radio-friendly cuts and an honest-to-goodness hit in “The Spirit of Radio”. But the essence of the band remained experimental, and in the shifting time signatures of “Jacob’s Ladder” and the multi-suite, nearly ten-minute closer “Natural Science”, they allowed their creativity to run wild. Fittingly for the band’s maximalist ethos, the new reissue has been given the name Super Deluxe. In addition to the original six tracks (re-mastered as part of the famous “Abbey Road Mastering Studios 2015” se...

Chromatica was originally scheduled to be released on April 10th, but was postponed until May 29th due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Flaming Lips Share ‘Flowers of Neptune 6′
The Flaming Lips released a cover George Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today” earlier this month in conjunction with Arkansas, a film that starred Liam Hemsworth and Vince Vaughn that aired on streaming platforms. Now, the Lips have shared a new song of their own. Titled “Flowers of Neptune 6,” the song is a bit low-key but has a dreamy element to it. This is their first original song since last year’s King’s Mouth: Music and Songs that was originally out on Record Store before getting a proper release in July. Earlier this year, the Lips joined forces with Deap Vally to form Deap Lips. The combined bands released an album of the same name way back in March. There should be no surprises here sonically — it sounds like a Flaming Lips song (which is a good thing). Listen ...
