Lady Gaga is back with a monster week on Billboard's charts, thanks to her new album, MAYHEM. The set blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 219,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S.

However, when I opened Spotify on March 7 and was greeted by MAYHEM, a brand-new Lady Gaga album — whose first track, "Disease", sounded like a grungy, gothic callback to "Born This Way" and The Fame Monster — I was instantly hooked.

The seventh such feat for Gaga comes as Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther" spent a fourth week atop the Hot 100.
