The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking Gaga’s seventh consecutive No. 1 album. In its third week, it remains one of the biggest releases of the year, still holding Top 10 positions across key charts including The Billboard 200, Digital Albums, and Billboard Top 200 Pop Albums chart. It also retains the No. 1 spot on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart— her eighth career No. 1 on the tally, making her the most successful artist of all time in the chart’s history. She now stands alone with the most No. 1 albums ever on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The fastest-selling international release of the year, *MAYHEM* debuted at No. 1 in 12 countries, including the U.S., UK, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea, and landed at No. 2 in the Netherlands and Sweden—further cementing Gaga’s global dominance. “Abracadabra” entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 3 and the UK Airplay Chart at No. 2, while in France, *MAYHEM *posted the biggest first-week sales since *Born This Way*. In Japan, it ranked among the biggest international albums in recent years; in Finland, it was the only international album to crack the Top 10; and in Ireland, three *MAYHEM* tracks landed in the Top 40—reinforcing its worldwide impact. In its first week alone, *MAYHEM* amassed over 240 million streams worldwide, marking her biggest streaming week ever. Since release, the album has generated over 5.2 billion global streams to date. Across her entire catalog, Gaga now surpasses 66 billion global streams, underscoring her longevity and global reach. *MAYHEM* also marked her biggest vinyl week ever, with 74,000 units sold across 14 collectible variants, some of which featured exclusive bonus tracks like “Kill for Love” and “Can’t Stop the High.” The digital edition of the album includes music videos for “Die With a Smile,” “Disease,” and “Abracadabra,” all of which helped fuel the album’s massive first week impact. “Die With a Smile,” Gaga’s collaboration with Bruno Mars, continues to break records, securing a 15th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. Tied ffor the second-longest running No. 1 in Billboard Global 200 chart history, the song has also spent 168 days at #1 on the Spotify global chart, the most of any song ever. MAYHEM marks a return to Gaga’s pop roots, reaffirming that she is a master of reinvention, crafting an album that is as bold and eclectic as it is deeply personal. A declaration of artistic freedom, it embraces the fractured pieces of oneself and how they come together to form something unexpected and beautiful. The album mirrors this concept with its diverse sonic palette and thematic layers, combining elements of chaos, defiance, and vulnerability into a cohesive artistic statement. Gaga describes this process as assembling a shattered mirror: “Even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something memorable and whole in its own way.” ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/21599/lady-gaga-2025-promo-tgj-scaled-1.jpg) **Critical Acclaim for *****MAYHEM*****:** “In a world of so-called lowercase pop, Gaga still has the caps-lock on in a bold, 96-point font, like she did in 2009. Throughout the album, she belts to the heavens and hits her marks with precision and flair, reminding her peers what a capital-E entertainer sounds like.” – [NEW YORK TIMES](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-o/) “Brash, squirmy, full of detailed grooves and expertly crafted hooks, it’s a winning reclamation of her trademark sound …and precisely the album you’d want her to drop before headlining Coachella, as Lady Gaga will do next month.” – [LOS ANGELES TIMES](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-b/) “Full of typically irresistible hooks and her signature sense of drama…Mayhem easily ranks with her best.” – [WALL STREET JOURNAL](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-n/) “Lady Gaga’s return to form…[an] instantly lovable, bombastic pop offering…[with] big, juicy, showy hooks…the kind that overwhelm the brain with dopamine and the hips with a need to move.” – [THE NEW YORKER](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-p/) “Mayhem makes a return to her trademark sound, but it also, more important, recalls her foundational ethos…As the album develops, it highlights all sorts of Gagaisms: oompah synth squirts, melodies that are like stammered sea shanties, vocals that swing between pageant-queen preening and gutter-punk growls…It is a muscular, gutsy, never-a-dull-minute work of bricolage. It’s also a warm, strangely moving collection about the passage of time.” –  [THE ATLANTIC](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-x/)  “…a juggernaut so abundant in hooks, harmonic pivots, and gleefully indulgent production flourishes that it sounds like the result of a sinister plan to option every unclaimed hit on the marketplace and Frankenstein it into one maximalist pop symphony.” – [PITCHFORK](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-m/) “Gaga feels like her most authentic self from start to finish on this album: There’s no characters, concepts, or aesthetic impulses overshadowing the songs. Instead, she’s made one of her most sonically challenging and uniform albums yet: a mix of Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Prince and her Fame Monster-era self, rolled into the year’s strongest pop release yet.” – [ROLLING STONE](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-c/) “In a musical landscape concerned with “album eras,” Mayhem refuses to be easily categorized. Ranging from grinding industrial techno one moment to soulful, heartfelt balladry the next, Mayhem makes its title a thesis statement — the throughline is disorder.” – [BILLBOARD](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-q/) “Mayhem serves as a true return to form—delivering Gaga’s rawest and most experimental music to date.” – [VOGUE](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-a/) “Gaga has a way of revitalizing the touchstones of her earliest work on Mayhem without it feeling nostalgically lopsided. There are callbacks to former glory, but it sounds contemporaneously fresh, in lockstep with modern-day pop without chasing its most obvious conventions.” – [VARIETY](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-sdruiul-ikttmjjlt-f/) ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/21593/4du-qsMY.jpg)
