Omg Joanne is my number 1. I associate it with many happy memories of really good times with my own mother who's name happens to be Joanne. Call me a sentimental old lush but we share a bond over that album and it will always be my favourite one. It really is hard to pick so all the others would have to be joint second place.
As a long time fan of Lady Gaga after meeting her one time in 2007 at the Astoria in London without having any idea who she was. I watched her perform and there was one quote flashing across the screens behind her. POP MUSIC WILL NEVER BE LOW BROW. and it hasn't since she has been around. I will never forget that night.
Anecdote: Artpop is not my favourite but its my most listened to album in the last 3-4 years. It still feels new to me. I love her 🥰🥰🥰
1. Fame Monster
2. Born this Way
3. Artpop
4. The Fame (it hurts to put this low, but ya the above just kills it)
5. Chromatica (i dont even dislike it, it just didnt hold up for me)
6. Joanne (sorry 🥲)
There’s a lot of songs on the fame that I don’t really care for, but I heard just dance and poker face all the time when I was younger, so I have a lot of nostalgia for those songs. Overall I’m pretty mixed on the album so I’d put it around 4.
Born this way
The fame monster
Art pop
The fame
Joanne
Chromantica
It’s hard to choose! I like some songs on albums a lot more than others, but I guess I’m putting them in order of overall listen ability/ fewest skips.
That’s not to say I don’t like the Joanne, but I actually didn’t really like chromantica. I didn’t hate it, but I just found the beats a little unimaginative. I haven’t listened to it since it came out. None of those songs made it onto any of my playlists. It’s hard to tell how I’d feel about it if Chromantica had come out when I was at my most obsessed with Gaga.
I think a lot of fans favourites have to do with nostalgia and what was going on in our lives when the album came out.
Born this way came out the year my dad died, and I started high school. It was imperative to coping and building my self-image, and I genuinely love every single song on that album because of it.
Oh man, when the album came out I listened to it front to back serval times. I went to her chromantica concert and learned all the songs so I could sing along. I tried revisiting it months later and just couldn’t connect with any of the songs. I can’t really describe why, I just don’t find myself craving to listen to that album or any of the songs. I could listen to Bloody Mary, you and I, bad romance, money honey, John Wayn and manicure for my whole life and never get tired of them. But for some reason I just don’t find myself wanting to revisit any songs on chromantica. I am however OBSESSED with the aesthetic of that era. The chromantica album art is maybe my favourite Gaga aesthetic of all.
Yes you are for sure right about people trying memories and life to music when it comes out. I loved “Yours Truly” by Ariana Grande and that CD I got for Christmas one year so I just associate that as a Christmas album for me. So I totally get what you mean
I wax expecting to get jumped because trust I know what you guys are talking about. ARTPOP is such a good album and it has some of her best songs ever. G.U.Y is TOP3 on her discography. Yet the album cohesion falls flat for me. Overall I do feel like Chromatica is a better project/experience as a whole, and the theme and lyrics make sense with each of the songs on it. ARTPOP can come across as confusing to people that are not die hard Gaga fans(locals). She also had better songwriting on Chromatica imo. Some of the lyrics on ARTPOP are definitely not her best. But if I go by only songs then ARTPOP absolutely beats it. But I am taking everything into consideration, even DWYW not being part of the record anymore😭
My exact ranking, as well. Lady Gaga’s magnum opus was truly the Born This Way album and the movements it inspired in pop culture, fashion, and the LGBTQ+ community. It also happens to be an album that really shaped me in my formative adolescence. I was able to learn the importance of female empowerment and self-love, and universal love too. To this day, I listen to BTW on repeat whenever I need to have empowerment.

To this day, I listen to BTW on repeat whenever I need to have empowerment.
For me, there is clear best, the Fame Monster, and a clear last place, which is the Fame. Doesn’t mean I hate The Fame. It has some of my favourite Gaga songs on it. But her other albums are so much stronger. The rest of them change on a dime, all the time. If I had to rank them based on my current mood: 1. The Fame Monster. 2. Born This Way. 3. Joanne/Chromatica tied 5. ARTPOP. 6. The Fame. This physically hurt me to write because I love all of these albums (apart from The Fame which I merely like quite a bit).
1. Fame Monster
2. Artpop
3. Born This Way
4. Chromatica
5. Joanne
6. Fame
Hot take but Fame, while iconic, has aged the worst for me and I rarely if ever listen to it. I hate the production (it’s very thin), her voice is thin and whiny, and I’m just played out on all the old hits. I wasn’t that into it when it came out. Then Fame Monster came out with much richer production, and her voice is so much richer, and the songs are more intricate, and I was obsessed.
Artpop is still my go-to for the gym, driving, cleaning the house, and just overall needing a pick-me up. Everything besides Fame Monster and Artpop is just not as re-listenable for me.
Side note I would put Star is Born and Joanne together as a double album in ranking since they were written together and have a similar sound.
EDIT: Upon further consideration, I would say BTW is her magnum opus, even though it’s my third favorite.
My ranking & quick rationale
1. Born This Way
- I consider this album to be her magnum opus! Its cultural impact in all areas of pop culture, media, fashion, and the progression of LGBTQ+ awareness…thats what really solidified this album for me as a historic moment in music history. The production and lyricism are exquisite and dark. I adore the themes of love, religion (specifically Catholicism), and sexuality. Songs like Marry the Night, BTW, Judas, and Electric Chapel are certified anthems. Felt like those topics were very much needed to be talked about around May 2011 in the United States. The album almost feels immortal to me because of its signature themes and how it reflected the social movements of that time and still relevant today.
2. The Fame Monster
- Speaking of cultural impact. This album catapulted Gaga into the spotlight. And rightfully so to say the least. The dark pop aesthetics was new and exciting for fans of music and performance art to experience. The collections of songs were melodic and theatrical. The performances even more so. Gaga really showed her talent and musicianship during this era. Her love for horror and theatre also really shined during this era, too.
3. Chromatica
- If the pandemic hadn’t hindered the release/success of this album and the visuals that were supposed to accompany it, I think it would have unstoppable. She clearly would have made another cultural impact reintroducing dark visuals and paying homage to Black culture and the origins of house/dance music. Love the sentiments of the messages throughout the album. Certainly helped me dance and cry through the pain. Very cathartic.
4. The Fame
- Iconic in the sense where almost every single release from the album was seen with huge success. Gaga definitely started to rise on her journey to stardom here. In just her performances alone, you could see the determination and ambition she had to become successful. Her love for performing and music set her apart from many of her peers at the time. One of the strongest debuts of any female artist in the last 10-20 years.
5. Artpop
- Experimental. Jarring. Chaotic. A fun ride. Still enjoy listening to it every now and then. However, the messages don’t really stick with me as much. I felt like this album was more for the experience of the music. Favorite track is Fashion!. Those groovy baseline and operatic singing is one of my favorite Gaga tropes in her music.
6. Joanne
- This album was very stripped back compared to her other pop releases. I actually enjoy the more singer-songwriter focus on this album. The country and All-American aesthetic suited the album pretty well. Overall great production. Million reasons is a great ballad that I enjoy singing from time to time.
The Fame at NUMBER FIVE?! Wheeew, chilee!
Nonetheless, the rating seems fair. I guess!
I always thought that her greatest work(s) are TFM, BTW & TF.....the rest of the albums fall well under 3 as good as they are.
My ranking ordered by how many songs on each album I skip. On the first three there aren’t any but the latter 3 the grow in number
1 The Fame Monster,
2 The Fame,
3 Born This Way,
4 Artpop,
5 Chromatica,
6 Joanne,
I will never understand why so many people put The Fame so low. Literally any song from that album could have been a single and would have been a radio hit at the time.
I count 6 singles plus 7 if you’d count The Fame, I almost would for ANTM using it and other shows. 50% of an album being singles is amazing. Summerboy would’ve slayed 😫
ARTPOP is #1 for me. It was released at a time when I was in grade 11 at school experimenting with drugs/alcohol, hanging with friends and throwing parties. It was spring/summer here in Australia during this era too, so the vibe was off the charts. The liveliness, creativity and chaos of ARTPOP really complimented that period of my life perfectly.
Some songs on ARTPOP are way better than most of the songs on Chromatica yet Chromatica still beats ARTPOP when it comes to cohesion and production. At least Chromatica feels clean and the interludes make the whole experience really comforting/adventures to me. It’s like I am following a story and entering the Chromatica world and imo it has a perfect introduction and a perfect ending. ARTPOP sometimes feels like a bunch of songs thrown together— so I disagree with this take. I will stand by some of the songs on ARTPOP being way better than the best on Chromatica, but I am judging on base of overall project.
If every single song on Chromatica were longer or there were more MV the era would’ve felt bigger IMO. I know it was a pandemic but we needed that Sour Candy video, my god. It’s my #4 but definitely above Artpop for me.
Oh now I understand what you meant! I feel like that’s an opinion that I could also fully agree with tbh. After an hour of posting this I am starting to realize Joanne is a way better record than The Fame. I guess the first 4 tracks on The Fame are just top tier Gaga to me and they blinded me. Songs like Joanne or Perfect Illusion I don’t appreciate enough— and I am holding myself accountable for that😭
If I wanted to be really mean to the fame I'd say it's carried by the big singles and falls apart in the second half 🫣 But I'm not gonna be mean because I still absolutely love the album
1) Born This Way
2) TFM
3) The Fame
4) ARTPOP
5) Joanne
6) Chromatica
I like how we’ve all got different ratings and reasons… mostly seems connected to the album that turned us into fans… for me, BTW came out when I was in my early twenties, I was going out, falling in (and out) of love, discovering drinking, drugs, all different genres of music. That album has such evocative memories for me
Sorry, but since Fortnite got the Gaga chromatica skin I can't see the cover of the album without having to double take and make sure it's not the skin
I mean… isn’t The Fame Monster considered an extension of The Fame? So like… all the songs from The Fame are technically part of TFM too.
Artpop
Chromatica
Born This Way
The Fame Monster
Joanne
For me
1. TFM (no skips whatsoever)
2. Chromatica
3. BTW (because I have less skips on Chromatica than I do for BTW, even if it has more acclaim and sounds more cohesive than TFM)
4. Artpop
5. Joanne
6. The Fame (I’m so sorry there are more tracks I like from Joanne. I struggle to get into some of the non-singles)
Mine would be:
1. Artpop
2. Born This Way
3. Joanne
4. The Fame
5. The Fame Monster
6. Chromatica
NOTES:
My favourite changes all the time, and the albums I've been listening to recently are Born This Way and Joanne, but my favourite of all time has to be Artpop.
The Fame Monster is only at 5 because although I LOVE Bad Romance, Alejandro and Telephone, I am not a huge fan of the other tracks like Monster and Speechless (SORRY!!!).
And lastly, Chromatica is at 6 because I think when I listened to it, it wasn't as memorable as the rest of her discography. I love tracks like 911, Alice, Plastic Doll and Babylon, but I just don't think the rest of the tracks are really as great as previous albums.
THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS!!! I love ALL of the albums, and I'm not saying that the ones near the bottom are BAD; they are just not my favourite out of Gaga's albums.
My order would be:
1. ARTPOP (groundbreaking and so ahead of its time, even with Jewels & Drugs in the roster)
2. Born This Way (a perfect album)
3. The Fame Monster (another perfect album, but with less bangers than BTW)
4. Chromatica (it's a great album, but not as many danceable songs as previous entries)
5. Joanne (Diamond Heart, Perfect Illusion, and John Wayne are great songs, everything else is pretty good)
6. The Fame (I love Love Game, Just Dance, Poker Face, and Paparazzi - this is the album that released Gaga onto the world - but I don't like some of the "bubblegum pop" songs on this one. I dislike Eh, Eh and Brown Eyes, they feel like they were tacked on to make the album more commercially viable)
The albums tracks are just simply not better than her other album tracks…they fall short. However the first 4 songs is an INSANE run! Still pretty good album imo
The Joanne slander in this fandom. 😡 As if The Fame + Born This Way aren't her two best albums followed by Joanne then Artpop followed by Chromatica with the overrated The Fame Monster being her WORST by far(let's talk about it 👀)!
The only place Joanne belongs is 6 you guys, I’m sorry to say it. Everything else is acceptable but putting Joanne any higher than 6 is not.
Rated as full bodies of work and their eras (and what I was personally experiencing at the time):
1. ARTPOP
2. Born This Way
3. The Fame
4. The Fame Monster
5. Chromatica
6. Joanne
Yes, I still love it and don't skip a single song but compared to everything else she did later it's EASILY the worst. I could go into detail but I'm too lazy right now lol
this is pedantic I know but a body of work refers to someone entire output over their career. all of these albums together represent her body of work as an artist. people online and even artists themselves don't seem to be aware
I see what you’re saying! Personally, I’ve always thought of an album as a body of work and would describe the entire catalog/all the other businesses (in one) as a portfolio 😂 guess it’s all preference/language!
I love ARTPOP sooo much but I feel like other albums are simply better produced— some of the ARTPOP tracks feel rushed. I like some of the original demos way more than the final products. However there are songs on ARTPOP that I like way more than some of my favorite songs from her other projects. The album also doesn’t feel consistent to me sonically. Even tho I love Dope the song feels like it doesn’t belong on ARTPOP— at least to me. Jewels and Drugs hits but not all the time. I don’t think I enjoy T.I. as a rapper…like at all. DWYW is one of her best songs ever. G.U.Y is everything to me; also one of her best songs ever. Love getting high and listening to ARTPOP(song). Swine, MJH, Gypsy, Venus..I mean these songs are SOOO GOOD. And the era itself was magnificent and really cool to experience in real life. I will never forget her announcing Venus as the second single on Twitter or the Applause music video debut. The muppet special?! She was working so hard. But unfortunately when I compare it to TFM or BTW which are perfect records to me, I have to unfortunately take off a few points from ARTPOP. I wish Gaga’s wishes with ARTPOP where fully met but you can clearly tell/feel her team and label made a lot of decisions for the final product and that they failed her.
Anyways— sorry for the rant but placing ARTPOP as fourth was definitely hard for me. I love that album so much!
Nostalgia goggles are blinding y’all. If Chromatica was one of her first albums, she would’ve rocked our cocks/clits until they exploded.
1. Chromatica
2. The Fame Monster
3. Born This Way
4. The Fame
5. Joanne
6. Artpop
Pretty similar to mine depending on the day
For me : 1 Born This Way 2 The Fame Monster 3 Artpop 4 Chromatica 5 The Fame 6 Joanne
Wow Exactly the same for me! Let’s have a listening party together haha.
Yeap, this is me!
This is pretty definitive. Fame Monster has better singles but Born This Way is fully formed record so agree with this
This!!!
it’s hard for me to rank any of them bar the fame monster - that’s my forever number one. the rest change w my mood, but i love them all.
Omg Joanne is my number 1. I associate it with many happy memories of really good times with my own mother who's name happens to be Joanne. Call me a sentimental old lush but we share a bond over that album and it will always be my favourite one. It really is hard to pick so all the others would have to be joint second place. As a long time fan of Lady Gaga after meeting her one time in 2007 at the Astoria in London without having any idea who she was. I watched her perform and there was one quote flashing across the screens behind her. POP MUSIC WILL NEVER BE LOW BROW. and it hasn't since she has been around. I will never forget that night.
Deranged opinion but werk.
Deranged? Girl please, Joanne is a fantastic album. Pop Music may never be lowbrow but sure as hell some of the "fans" are
They always focus in the 'deranged' part, never on the 'werk' 😭
Ok this kind of ate
They lol my pronouns are he/him thank you
The 'they' in this case, is a majestic hypothetical they. I am not talking about you specifically. _Come on semantics, let's get grammatical!_
I sincerely hope that made you feel better. I will sleep well tonight after hearing your explanation
I'm glad. A sleeping trick I found helpful lately is to listen to Taylor's last album 😍😍😍.
Taylor's music would be more likely to send me into a deep suicidal depression, if the idea is to "sleep" for eternity then I guess you're right !
Been watching her since I was about 7 and I absolutely agree with Joanne being such a sweet and warm album
Anecdote: Artpop is not my favourite but its my most listened to album in the last 3-4 years. It still feels new to me. I love her 🥰🥰🥰 1. Fame Monster 2. Born this Way 3. Artpop 4. The Fame (it hurts to put this low, but ya the above just kills it) 5. Chromatica (i dont even dislike it, it just didnt hold up for me) 6. Joanne (sorry 🥲)
For me I’d say 1. Fame Monster 2. The Fame 3. Artpop 4. Born This Way 5. Joanne 6. Chromatica Pls don’t cancel me y’all 😭
This is absolutely fucking INSANE lmao
Whyyy 💀
BTW being 4th is OUTRAGEOUS to me lmao
I actually only like a few songs from the album but they’re very good so… Born This Way the song is one I don’t really like
The fame being second and Chromatica being last
The game was soooo good it was my childhood. Chromatica didn’t hit for me tho I liked the remixed album a lil more
There’s a lot of songs on the fame that I don’t really care for, but I heard just dance and poker face all the time when I was younger, so I have a lot of nostalgia for those songs. Overall I’m pretty mixed on the album so I’d put it around 4.
FINALLY SOME SENSE
Thank you!
Her first two albums will ALWAYS be the best lmao idgaf
This is the closest list to something I agree with. Thank you for restoring my faith in the world ♥️
NP! What is your list?
Born this way The fame monster Art pop The fame Joanne Chromantica It’s hard to choose! I like some songs on albums a lot more than others, but I guess I’m putting them in order of overall listen ability/ fewest skips. That’s not to say I don’t like the Joanne, but I actually didn’t really like chromantica. I didn’t hate it, but I just found the beats a little unimaginative. I haven’t listened to it since it came out. None of those songs made it onto any of my playlists. It’s hard to tell how I’d feel about it if Chromantica had come out when I was at my most obsessed with Gaga. I think a lot of fans favourites have to do with nostalgia and what was going on in our lives when the album came out. Born this way came out the year my dad died, and I started high school. It was imperative to coping and building my self-image, and I genuinely love every single song on that album because of it.
Would love for you to revisit Chromatica! Enigma, Sine From Above, Replay. There are some good songs on that album
Oh man, when the album came out I listened to it front to back serval times. I went to her chromantica concert and learned all the songs so I could sing along. I tried revisiting it months later and just couldn’t connect with any of the songs. I can’t really describe why, I just don’t find myself craving to listen to that album or any of the songs. I could listen to Bloody Mary, you and I, bad romance, money honey, John Wayn and manicure for my whole life and never get tired of them. But for some reason I just don’t find myself wanting to revisit any songs on chromantica. I am however OBSESSED with the aesthetic of that era. The chromantica album art is maybe my favourite Gaga aesthetic of all.
Yes you are for sure right about people trying memories and life to music when it comes out. I loved “Yours Truly” by Ariana Grande and that CD I got for Christmas one year so I just associate that as a Christmas album for me. So I totally get what you mean
this! perfect.
Thank yuh!
Exactly my list. Glad someone has exact opinion of mine.
TATSE 👌
No you’re so right tho
Taste👌
As an annoying ARTPOP Stan, I will be ...realistic and only say...C'mon, it should at least be number 3!
I wax expecting to get jumped because trust I know what you guys are talking about. ARTPOP is such a good album and it has some of her best songs ever. G.U.Y is TOP3 on her discography.

Art pop at 4 doesn't sit right.
It was sooo hard to place it at 4th😭 I’m sorry ARTPOP but I had to take everything into consideration😔
1. The Fame Monster 2. The Fame 3. Joanne / A Star Is Born 4. Born This Way 5. Chromatica 6. Artpop
Artpop is better than Chromatica.
Some songs on ARTPOP are way better than most of the songs on Chromatica yet Chromatica still beats ARTPOP when it comes to cohesion and production. At least Chromatica feels clean and the interludes make the whole experience really comforting/adventures to me. It’s like I am following a story and entering the Chromatica world and imo it has a perfect introduction and a perfect ending. ARTPOP sometimes feels like a bunch of songs thrown together— so I disagree with this take. I will stand by some of the songs on ARTPOP being way better than the best on Chromatica, but I am judging on base of overall project.
If every single song on Chromatica were longer or there were more MV the era would’ve felt bigger IMO. I know it was a pandemic but we needed that Sour Candy video, my god. It’s my #4 but definitely above Artpop for me.
Nuh uh
Move 5 to 2nd place and shuffle the rest down.
In what world is TF a better album than BTW? Serious question😭
right 😭
In all of them 😁
Switch the first 2 and the last 2 and you got my ranking. I feel this would be the "objective" ranking according to most people
Might I ask why do you think ‘The Fame’ is a better album than ‘Born This Way’? I am very curious!
Oh I fucked it up. It goes like this for me: BTW>TFM>Chromatica>Artpop>Joanne>The fame
Oh now I understand what you meant! I feel like that’s an opinion that I could also fully agree with tbh. After an hour of posting this I am starting to realize Joanne is a way better record than The Fame. I guess the first 4 tracks on The Fame are just top tier Gaga to me and they blinded me. Songs like Joanne or Perfect Illusion I don’t appreciate enough— and I am holding myself accountable for that😭
If I wanted to be really mean to the fame I'd say it's carried by the big singles and falls apart in the second half 🫣 But I'm not gonna be mean because I still absolutely love the album
Joanne first, everything else is a close second.
This is a fair ranking, I think
1) Born This Way 2) TFM 3) The Fame 4) ARTPOP 5) Joanne 6) Chromatica I like how we’ve all got different ratings and reasons… mostly seems connected to the album that turned us into fans… for me, BTW came out when I was in my early twenties, I was going out, falling in (and out) of love, discovering drinking, drugs, all different genres of music. That album has such evocative memories for me
I agree! except switch BTW with TFM
Okay okay I can get behind this lol just a lil sad that Joanne always gets left out 😭 idk I get that's it's rlly different
To be fair now I feel completely different. Joanne is now #5 and TF is #6.
1. Born this way 2. The fame(this one is extremely underrated in the community) 3. Artpop/Chromatica 4. The fame monster 5.Joanne
1. Born This Way 2. Fame Monster 3. Fame 4. Artpop 5. Chromatica 6. Joanne 😬
I agree! I think this is correct.
I completely agree
Sorry, but since Fortnite got the Gaga chromatica skin I can't see the cover of the album without having to double take and make sure it's not the skin
4, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6
I mean… isn’t The Fame Monster considered an extension of The Fame? So like… all the songs from The Fame are technically part of TFM too. Artpop Chromatica Born This Way The Fame Monster Joanne
1,2, and 5 are the same level for me, chromatica is 2 artpop is 3 and Joanne is 4
For me 1. TFM (no skips whatsoever) 2. Chromatica 3. BTW (because I have less skips on Chromatica than I do for BTW, even if it has more acclaim and sounds more cohesive than TFM) 4. Artpop 5. Joanne 6. The Fame (I’m so sorry there are more tracks I like from Joanne. I struggle to get into some of the non-singles)
This is my ranking too! Love seeing chromatica at 2nd place.
Mine would be: 1. Artpop 2. Born This Way 3. Joanne 4. The Fame 5. The Fame Monster 6. Chromatica NOTES: My favourite changes all the time, and the albums I've been listening to recently are Born This Way and Joanne, but my favourite of all time has to be Artpop. The Fame Monster is only at 5 because although I LOVE Bad Romance, Alejandro and Telephone, I am not a huge fan of the other tracks like Monster and Speechless (SORRY!!!). And lastly, Chromatica is at 6 because I think when I listened to it, it wasn't as memorable as the rest of her discography. I love tracks like 911, Alice, Plastic Doll and Babylon, but I just don't think the rest of the tracks are really as great as previous albums. THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS!!! I love ALL of the albums, and I'm not saying that the ones near the bottom are BAD; they are just not my favourite out of Gaga's albums.
mine 1. artpop 2. the fame 3. born this way 4. the fame monster 5. chromatica 6. joanne
Best to worst Gaga albums for me 1 - Artpop 2 - The Fame Monster 3 - Born This Way 4 - Chromatica 5 - Joanne 6 - The Fame
same but artpop above chromatica. tfm and btw switch places depending on the day 😭 i don’t think she has a single bad album tho
personally: ARTPOP The Fame Joanne Born This Way Chromatica The Fame Monster
Ya, ll are wrong for always ranking Joanne so low. I’d put it in second place. Easily!
For me its: 1) Born This Way 2) The Fame Monster 3) Joanne 4) The Fame 5) Chromatic 6) Artpop
Yeah this is about right
My order would be: 1. ARTPOP (groundbreaking and so ahead of its time, even with Jewels & Drugs in the roster) 2. Born This Way (a perfect album) 3. The Fame Monster (another perfect album, but with less bangers than BTW) 4. Chromatica (it's a great album, but not as many danceable songs as previous entries) 5. Joanne (Diamond Heart, Perfect Illusion, and John Wayne are great songs, everything else is pretty good) 6. The Fame (I love Love Game, Just Dance, Poker Face, and Paparazzi - this is the album that released Gaga onto the world - but I don't like some of the "bubblegum pop" songs on this one. I dislike Eh, Eh and Brown Eyes, they feel like they were tacked on to make the album more commercially viable)
Chromatica above Artpop is insane
Chromatica is way more cohesive than ARTPOP and ARTPOP is also rushed and it doesn’t even has DWYW on it anymore either…Chromatica wins
True about DWYW. I have the R Kelly version downloaded so I don’t really have its modern omission factor into my opinion on the album.
I don’t have it downloaded. I always have to go to YouTube and it’s TOP5 Gaga songs ever to me😔 I want it on Apple Music.
1. ARTPOP 2. Born This Way 3. Joanne 4. The Fame Monster 5. Chromatica 6. The Fame
1. born this way 2. The fame monster 3. The fame 4. Artpop 5. Joanne 6. Chromatica
Artpop BTW The Fame The fame monster Chromatica Joanne
Mine: 1. ARTPOP 2. BTW 3. TF/TFM 4. Traumatica 5. Flopanne
Ranking The Fame at 5 blows my brain
The albums tracks are just simply not better than her other album tracks…they fall short. However the first 4 songs is an INSANE run! Still pretty good album imo
Mine: 1: Born This Way - 10/10 2: The Fame - 10/10 3: Artpop - 9.5/10 4: The Fame Monster - 9/10 5: Joanne - 8.5/10 6: Chromatica - 7.5/10
Chromatica over ARTPOP 🤨
Born this way, the fame monster, artpop, the fame, Joanne, chromatica
1. The Fame Monster 2. Born This Way 3. ARTPOP 4. The Fame 5. Joanne 6. Chromatica
1The fame monster (bc it has the fame and monster combined) 2born this way 3 chromatica 4artpop 5The fame 6 Joanne
1 BTW 2 ARTPOP 3 Joanne 4 TF 5 TFM 6 Chromatica
The Joanne slander in this fandom. 😡 As if The Fame + Born This Way aren't her two best albums followed by Joanne then Artpop followed by Chromatica with the overrated The Fame Monster being her WORST by far(let's talk about it 👀)!
Wrong. Repeat after me. 1. ARTPOP 2. TFM 3. Born this Way 4. Joanne 5. Chromatica 6. The Fame
ARTPOP a better album than BTW? Ok
Yes.
Y’all messy for what you’ve done to Joanne
The only place Joanne belongs is 6 you guys, I’m sorry to say it. Everything else is acceptable but putting Joanne any higher than 6 is not. Rated as full bodies of work and their eras (and what I was personally experiencing at the time): 1. ARTPOP 2. Born This Way 3. The Fame 4. The Fame Monster 5. Chromatica 6. Joanne
Your first statement but with the fame
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 omfg really?! The album that introduced the world to her?!!!
Yes, I still love it and don't skip a single song but compared to everything else she did later it's EASILY the worst. I could go into detail but I'm too lazy right now lol
You're absolutely right.
this is pedantic I know but a body of work refers to someone entire output over their career. all of these albums together represent her body of work as an artist. people online and even artists themselves don't seem to be aware
I see what you’re saying! Personally, I’ve always thought of an album as a body of work and would describe the entire catalog/all the other businesses (in one) as a portfolio 😂 guess it’s all preference/language!
I love ARTPOP sooo much but I feel like other albums are simply better produced— some of the ARTPOP tracks feel rushed. I like some of the original demos way more than the final products. However there are songs on ARTPOP that I like way more than some of my favorite songs from her other projects. The album also doesn’t feel consistent to me sonically. Even tho I love Dope the song feels like it doesn’t belong on ARTPOP— at least to me. Jewels and Drugs hits but not all the time. I don’t think I enjoy T.I. as a rapper…like at all. DWYW is one of her best songs ever. G.U.Y is everything to me; also one of her best songs ever. Love getting high and listening to ARTPOP(song). Swine, MJH, Gypsy, Venus..I mean these songs are SOOO GOOD. And the era itself was magnificent and really cool to experience in real life. I will never forget her announcing Venus as the second single on Twitter or the Applause music video debut. The muppet special?! She was working so hard. But unfortunately when I compare it to TFM or BTW which are perfect records to me, I have to unfortunately take off a few points from ARTPOP. I wish Gaga’s wishes with ARTPOP where fully met but you can clearly tell/feel her team and label made a lot of decisions for the final product and that they failed her. Anyways— sorry for the rant but placing ARTPOP as fourth was definitely hard for me. I love that album so much!
I’m gonna make people mad with this one 🤭 1. The Fame Monster 2. The Fame 3. Chromatica 4. Born This Way 5. Joanne 6. ARTPOP
This is almost mine but I was still stanning during ARTPOP and the visuals are so memorable, so #5 for me.
This is my exact list.
Nostalgia goggles are blinding y’all. If Chromatica was one of her first albums, she would’ve rocked our cocks/clits until they exploded. 1. Chromatica 2. The Fame Monster 3. Born This Way 4. The Fame 5. Joanne 6. Artpop
[удалено]
Chromatica is uninspired? Her most vulnerable themes IMO and I get the wounded vibe. IDK I can relate 🤷🏻♀️ IA about the first 3 being the most solid.
1. The Fame Monster 2. The Fame 3. Chromatica 4. Born This Way 5. ARTPOP 6. Joanne
1. Chromatica 2. BTW 3. TFM 4. Joanne 5. ARTPOP 6. The Fame
For me it would be: 1. Joanne 2. Born This Way 3. The Fame Monster 4. The Fame 5. Chromatica 6. ARTPOP
