Lady Gaga's Mayhem has stormed to No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Albums Chart to give the pop icon her fifth chart-topper (March 14). The new LP now joins The Fame (2009), Born This Way (2010), Artpop (2013) and Chromatica (2020) as No.

During her interview with The New York Times published on March 8, the "Rain on Me" singer revealed that her fiancé Michael Polansky talked her out of making Mayhem a "grunge" album.

Her new album is a work of self-citation, rummaging around in Gaga’s own past for inspiration. It’s also, somehow, the freshest collection of songs she has released in years.
