Lady Gaga Eyes Billboard 200 Comeback: 'Mayhem' Album Poised for Potential No. 1 Debut After 'Harlequin' Underperformance

Lady Gaga's new album, 'Mayhem,' released on March 7th, is generating buzz for a potential No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200. This comes after her previous album, 'Harlequin,' which debuted at No. 20 in 2024 and quickly faded from the charts, marking a rare miss for the pop superstar. 'Mayhem' boasts a chart-topping lead single, "Die With a Smile," a collaboration with Bruno Mars, which reached No. 1 on the Hot 100. While follow-up singles "Disease" and "Abracadabra" didn't reach the top 10, they still charted within the top 40. Gaga has previously topped the Billboard 200 with albums like 'Born This Way,' 'Artpop,' 'Joanne,' 'Chromatica,' and 'A Star Is Born.' A No. 1 debut for 'Mayhem' would solidify Gaga's continued dominance in mainstream pop.
