Five years ago this week, on September 30, 2021, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga released Love for Sale. It was their second album together and the last studio album of Tony’s legendary career. A new piece from Forbes looks at how the record helped cement Gaga’s place in jazz, and we couldn’t agree more.

Love for Sale is a tribute to Cole Porter, made up of covers of his classic songs. It followed the duo’s first album, Cheek to Cheek (2014), which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Seven years later they were back in the studio for one more album.

Gaga fans, we’re winning again! More than 15 years after its release, Lady Gaga’s debut album The Fame has officially landed on a Billboard chart for the very first time — and the Little Monsters are celebrating!

Gaga has been dominating the industry for nearly two decades, and while she’s currently promoting her latest era Mayhem (and collecting Grammy nominations along the way), fans are still streaming The Fame in huge numbers. This week, the album debuts at No. 46 on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart — giving Gaga her second-ever entry on that ranking.

Lady Gaga released her sixth solo album Mayhem in March of this year. The singer had been promoting the electronic dance project for months before the full-length dropped, and she has continued to push it ever since. Just months after Mayhem arrived, it has earned its first certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and its quick success keeps Gaga’s winning streak sterling.
