Lady Gaga's Latest Album Returns, Joining The Set That Launched Her To Stardom
After several months on the U.K.'s Official Albums chart — the nation's most important ranking of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs — Lady Gaga's Mayhem quietly disappeared earlier this month. Just when it seemed the British public might be done with the electronic dance-pop project, it rebounds, returning to the tally… and it's not the singer's only winner at the moment.
Lady Gaga's Mayhem Returns
Mayhem reappears on the Official Albums chart this week, but only barely. Gaga's most recent effort reenters the 100-spot tally at No. 100, in the lowest rung possible. The former No. 1 has now spent 18 frames somewhere on the competitive roster, though whether it will be able to add to that is hard to predict, since it was missing so recently. This may very well be Mayhem's final frame on the chart.
Mayhem Joins The Fame
Gaga currently fills two spots on the Official Albums chart, as Mayhem joins The Fame. While the latter project preceded Mayhem by well over a decade, The Fame is still easily the Grammy winner's biggest success. This frame, it jumps from No. 71 to No. 61.
Mayhem Vs. The Fame on the Charts
Both Mayhem and The Fame appear on multiple rankings in the U.K. at the moment, and both fan favorites are climbing. Mayhem continues to sell well, pushing higher on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums tallies, where it lifts to Nos. 69 and 66, respectively.
The Fame, meanwhile, lives on just two rosters. In addition to the Official Albums chart, it can also be found at No. 48 – inside the upper half – of the Official Albums Streaming ranking.
'Die with a Smile' Remains Lady Gaga's Big Hit
Gaga claims just two hit songs in the U.K. this week, and interestingly, neither of them come from The Fame. That suggests that instead of one huge single powering the project and keeping it on the Official Albums Streaming tally, fans are listening to either the entire set, or a variety of different tunes. The Fame produced some of Gaga's most iconic tracks, including "Just Dance," "Poker Face," and "Paparazzi,' and it's likely that all of them (and more) are still performing relatively well on sites like Spotify to this day.
"Die With a Smile," Gaga's collaboration with Bruno Mars, which is featured on Mayhem, continues to live on multiple rankings, including those focused on streams, or sales, as well as the general Official Singles chart. On that latter roster, "Die With a Smile" is headed toward its first full year on the tally, though this frame it dips to No. 63.
The other successful tune, 'Always Remember Us this Way,' remains a standout from the A Star Is Born soundtrack.

‘Panama Playlists' claims to expose Spotify libraries of JD Vance, Pam Bondi and other prominent figures
A new site called 'Panama Playlists' has claimed to expose the Spotify accounts of prominent figures including Vice President JD Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi. The site, which the New York Post says quietly went live Wednesday, is run by an anonymous sleuth who claims they have been 'scraping' accounts of celebrities, politicians and journalists since the summer of 2024. The sleuth said their team has access to 'playlists, live listening feed, everything. I know what songs they played, when, and how many times.' 'Heard of the Panama Papers? That exposed offshore bank accounts. This is about onshore vibes,' the site read. So, what did the sleuth claim to find? Vance is into boy bands with Backstreet Boys' 'I Want It That Way' and One Direction's 'What Makes You Beautiful' on his playlists, according to the site. Bondi loves her 2000s hits, including Nelly's 'Hot In Herre,' Black Eyed Peas' 'I Gotta Feeling,' and Usher's 'Yeah!' the sleuth claims. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had a playlist labeled 'Baby Shower,' which included strong female singers such as Beyoncé's 'Run the World (Girls) and Aretha Franklin's 'Respect,' per the site. The Independent has reached out to the White House for comment. The sleuth told the New York Post, 'I gained confidence in each person by looking at lots of signals. 'An example is Pam Bondi. Her longtime partner is John Wakefield, and her profile has an old playlist called 'john' and an old shared playlist with a user named 'John Wakefield,' so that gives me a lot of confidence it is her account.' Leavitt's apparent 'Baby Shower' playlist was also mentioned in the interview with the sleuth, saying, 'She had a baby a month after the playlist was made.' The sleuth told the New York Post only publicly available information was collected. A Spotify spokesperson told The Independent if the sleuth is using a Spotify account to scrape information from public playlists, they are violating the company's Terms of Use. The guidelines the spokesperson referenced prohibit making available to the public any content made available through the music streaming service. There were also prominent figures outside of Washington mentioned in the 'Panama Playlists,' such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The tech executive's 'My Shazam Tracks' playlist includes David Guetta, OneRepublic's 'I Don't Wanna Wait' and Missy Elliott's 'Get Ur Freak On,' according to the site. The sleuths also listed some 1970s songs late-night host Seth Meyers is claimed to enjoy: Jackson Browne's 'The Fuse' and Rickie Lee Jones' 'Chuck E's in Love.' NBC weatherman Al Roker is an Elton John fan, the website claims. 'Panama Playlists,' said his No. 1 song of the past year is John's 'Philadelphia Freedom,' followed by 'Are You Ready for Love.' Roker previously told his fans John's music helped him through his health issues in 2022. The Independent has reached out to OpenAI for comment from Altman and representatives from NBC Universal for comment from Meyers and Roker.

The ‘Panama Playlists' leak claims to expose Spotify accounts of JD Vance, Pam Bondi and a slew of other pols and CEOs
Vice President JD Vance is a big fan of the Backstreet Boys' 'I Want It That Way.' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gets pumped up with Beyonce's 'Run the World (Girls)' — and there's one very prominent politician who loves Nelly's 'Hot In Herre.' That's all according to the Panama Playlists — a site that quietly went live Wednesday and claims to reveal the private music tastes of a slew of public figures. 'I found the real Spotify accounts of celebrities, politicians, and journalists. Many use their real names. With a little sleuthing, I could say with near-certainty: yep, this is them,' the anonymous eavesdropper wrote. 6 The Panama Playlists claims to expose the music taste and habits of some of the world elite and has no affiliation with the popular music app. REUTERS 'We've been scraping their accounts since summer 2024.

Her longtime partner is John Wakefield, and her profile has an old playlist called 'john' and an old shared playlist with a user named 'John Wakefield,' so that gives me a lot of confidence it is her account.' 'Karoline Leavitt's profile has a playlist called 'Baby Shower,' and she had a baby a month after the playlist was made,' the owner of the website told The Post, emphasizing they only collected publicly available information.
