She's not fading. She just had an underperforming era which was still superior to other pop girls.
BTW sold 8.5 M after all and she had 4 top 10 hits. Her tour is slaying. Shes on Forbes in her so called "flop" era. She shattered lots of records. Had an impact. Radio was never on her side, even during TFM era. So let alone BTW era.
And about Rihanna. Her difference is longevity. In 7 years Gaga will have that too, im sure she will stay even longer than Rihanna. I love both though. Its actually funny that, with an album full of risky experimental songs had 4 top 10 hits, and another album full of songs recorded to be hits had 2 top 10 hits.
