Lady Gaga Unleashes ‘Mayhem’ On Albums Chart With No. 1 Debut

by

Lady Gaga‘s Mayhem has debuted at no. 1 on Billboard‘s top 200 albums chart, the publication confirmed on Sunday, marking Gaga’s seventh no. 1 album in her legendary career.

Mayhem opened with 219,000 units total, per Luminate, off of 108.05 million streams and 136,000 traditional sales. It’s just the latest chart victory for Gaga, who’s enjoyed a strong year thus far as “Die With A Smile,” her duet with Bruno Mars, spent five weeks this year atop the Hot 100.

Mayhem is Gaga’s first solo album since 2020’s Chromatica, which also topped the charts and spawned her hit “Rain On Me” with Ariana Grande. Mayhem marks Gaga’s fifth consecutive solo album to top the albums chart; beyond her solo albums, Gaga also topped the charts with her collaboration with Tony Bennett Cheek to Cheek, as well as for the Star is Born soundtrack.

Meanwhile on the album charts, the solo debut of Jennie, a member of Blackpink, titled “Ruby,” made its entrance at the 7th spot, selling approximately 56,000 copies.

On the Hot 100 this week, Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” spent a fourth week atop the chart, per Billboard, staying at no. 1 ever since it replaced Lamar’s “Not Like Us” at the beginning of the month. “Die With A Smile” sits in second place this week.

With this week’s charts set, attention now turns toward next Sunday, where Playboi Carti’s Music will likely be a strong contender to debut at no. 1. It’s Carti’s first new album since 2020, featuring a star-studded list of collaborators including Lamar, The Weeknd, Future and Travis Scott among others. Spotify confirmed over the weekend that Music broke the record for most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far.
