Lady Gaga's album Harlequin may secure Grammy nomination

Lady Gaga's recent album, Harlequin, released on September 27, 2024, did not perform well commercially, debuting at No. 20 on the Billboard 200 and failing to produce any hit singles. The album, tied to her role in Joker: Folie à Deux, quickly faded from charts. Despite its struggles, Harlequin is eligible for a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 2026 awards. Gaga has previously won in this category and her star power may help the album gain recognition. Gaga is now focusing on her new album, Mayhem, released on March 7, 2025, which is receiving positive attention and could compete in major Grammy categories. While she may submit Harlequin for consideration, her main push will be for Mayhem.
