OMG - she is so pressed. lol
A shame, because Drake was really kind about the kiss when asked, which was pretty valiant of him considering she must have had the breath of a demon lord judging by the look on his face.
The best song in the top 20 is without a doubt Girl Crush. What an incredible song.

"no matter how many times he dsnfkj - - dfbh BEGS you to"
the way she tries to dramatically rip off the page and doesn't manage to do it properly

She is not trying to rip off the page. She literally does that to every single page she read.
And where have you guys been? We were talking about this yesterday.
She also says she listens to Grimes, which was my favourite part of the whole thing.

I know but it's still dramatic
Why does she need to throw the pages behind her? Why not lift it off and put it to the side, instead of dramatically throwing it behind her?
Why does Lady Gaga have to wear a meat dress? Why not just wear normal clothes, instead of wearing those impractical costumes?
Answer is: we will never know.

Bitch, she's Madonna.
She still knows what's up with the youth of today. And the youth of today dramatically toss pages behind themselves because they don't even give a fuck. #fucktheman

Controversy/Attention.
Either way, it worked out for her.

It's fifteen years since Britney's sophomore album 'Oops...I Did It Again' was released* and became one of the biggest selling albums of that decade.
I would say it's also the album with her most iconic imagery and music videos.
Whether it was wearing a red leather catsuit and iconic choreography in 'Oops...I Did It Again'.
Or when she was telling us a story about a girl named Lucky...
Battling a chair in Stronger
And just looking damn hot in DLMBTLTK
The album also contains some underrated gems such as
What U See (Is What U Get) and Can't Make You Love Me (I'm also a fan of Where Are You Now).
She truly was the perfect pop princess back in the days when pop was unashamedly pop!

The "flying" dress you mean.

Y'all drag it now but in 2046 when we're all getting our lives from ARTPOP ACT 5 while visiting a friend in our own VOLANTIS I will remember this and quote you all in POPGAF |OT-XIII-3| RUDE RETURNS.
Well it was called the flying dress. Even though it was more levitation than anything.

That was called off due to the Virgin Galactic crash.
I'll be perched for Gaga's retirement home tour.

Exactly.
The meat dress was the moment where Gaga stopped gaining "cultural capital". BTW was the moment where she spent all that she had gained.
How else do you explain the cataclysmic fall between BTW and ARTPOP, and in such short a time? People like to say that Gaga did something during the BTW era to get the GP to turn their backs on her but, really, whatever she did had to have happened much earlier than that.

I'm going to disagree with you there. The BTW > ARTPOP decline has far more to do with marketing and quality than anything else.
People have this mentality of Gaga being right at the top of the charts throughout The Fame through BTW, but that never happened. Iirc she's had three #1 songs, Bad Romance (which many would consider her most well known) not even among them.
With BTW, Gaga and her then manager agreed to make BTW what they perceived to be the biggest album possible. They've both discussed it in detail, but basically, Gaga's manager told her that if she delayed the album and did exactly what he told her to do that he could give her a multimillion selling album, which is what they achieved. BTW required months of planning and extensive marketing - the marketing being a particularly big part of its success. Gaga was at the Grammys, there were billboards in Times Square, the VMA appearance, the CONSTANT promo on TV between the single and album launch - there were even fucking textured seats on the NY subway with Gaga's face on them and the album date.
BTW was a result of extensive marketing based around the face of the world's then-most talked about celebrity. Of course she could never reach that peak again. Look at Katy - someone who had consistent #1s throughout the Teenage Dream era has had incredibly hit and miss performance with her PRISM singles, because she's not the "new thing" anymore. You can quote me on this but I suspect Katy's next album cycle will perform even worse, just like Gaga's.
The meat dress was never a watershed moment. The thing that stopped ARTPOP from being as big as BTW was both the GP's general awareness of Gaga (massively diminished due to her not being "it" anymore) and the massive lack of promo.
Considering Gaga has won a Grammy this year (her 6th), snatched up the #1 spot for both albums since BTW and embarked on a multi million dollar world tour both this year and last, I think her career is FAR from over. Is it at BTW heights? No. Will it ever be again? No. But it's far from dead.

I agree with you about BTW's numbers being inflated by unprecedented marketing of that album (we've only really seen promo that massive with Taylor ever since...). But I don't agree that ARTPOP was a natural decline, especially since the era did get a lot of good early promo.

Charli needs to stop the Jpop album and do a full album with Giorgio. This is beautiful ;_;

The middle eight.
Wow, this is good. Might be better than any Charlie track I've heard...
Doesn't surpass the disco euphoria of Kylie's track, but it comes the closest.
