Lady Gaga's new single 'Disease' debuts at No. 27 on Hot 100, marking her lowest entry in 16 years
Lady Gaga's new single "Disease" debuted at No. 27 on the Hot 100, marking her lowest entry for a lead single in 16 years. This follows her duet "Die With a Smile" with Bruno Mars, which peaked at No. 2. Since her early hits, Gaga has struggled to achieve solo success. Her last No. 1 without a featured artist was "Born This Way" in 2011. Recent singles like "Stupid Love" and "Disease" have not reached the same heights. Gaga's return to dance-pop with "Disease" has not resonated as expected. Collaborations with artists like Mars and Ariana Grande have proven more successful, suggesting a need for Gaga to explore new musical directions to regain her solo chart success.
