The highest new entry for this week’s UK Songs Charts is the one and only Lady Gaga, who casts a spell on the charts with her newer release ‘Abracadabra’ which anticipates her upcoming studio album. With the top five pretty much unchanged in the past month: Lola Young at Number One, Gracie and Rosé following TikTok viral songs ‘Sailor Song’ by Gigi Perez and ‘The Days’ by Chrystal, Lady Gaga debuts at number six with only four days of tracking with the new single released on February 3.

Lady Gaga’s upcoming album, titled ‘Mayhem‘, is set to be released on March 7. It will mark the artist’s seventh studio album. Last year at the premiere for ‘Gaga Chromatica Ball’ in Los Angeles, she revealed: “I am in the studio every single day. I have written so many songs, I’ve been producing so many songs, and it’s nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before. I love to break genre, and I love to explore music. There’s something really beautiful about knowing that you will be loved no matter what you do.”

New York-born Lady Gaga debuted on the UK music scene with the song ‘Just Dance’ which peaked at number one back in 2009 and charted for 53 weeks. The singer then peaked at number one once again with ‘Poker Face’ and in the same year ‘Bad Romance’, a song that defined a generation, and again in 2009 ‘Telephone’. All these songs are included in Gaga’s debut album ‘The Fame‘, which was released in 2009 and became a chart staple charting for 331 weeks (it is currently charting at number 61!).

But Lady Gaga’s success didn’t stop with ‘The Fame‘, as this iconic number one debut was followed by three number one albums: ‘Born this way‘ in 2011, ‘Artpop‘ in 2013 and ‘Chromatica‘ in 2020. With ‘Mayhem‘, the artist is looking at another number one album.

More recently, the artist peaked at number one on UK Songs Charts with ‘Shallow’ featuring Bradley Cooper, from the soundtrack of the film A Star is Born in which Gaga plays the lead character, and ‘Rain on Me’ featuring Ariana Grande.

So far the singles released off the artist’s upcoming album have done incredibly well: ‘Abracadabra’ debuted at number six, ‘Die With a Smile’ featuring Bruno Mars peaked at number two and charted, so far, for 25 weeks and ‘Disease’ peaked at number seven and charted for 14 weeks.

Only time will tell if ‘Abracadabra’ will mark seventh number one song.
