I don't know, I hope Gaga surprises us in the next era.

I think the only reason BTW """""flopped"""""" was because she wanted to make an album for the fans and didn't care about the commercial success. Not to mention that she also wanted to explore all aspects of creativity, directing music videos and blah blah blah.
She did also mention that the album will be a true test for her fans.
Gaga knows how to play the public, make #1 hits, and be overall flawless and amazing. I have little doubt that the next era will be very commercially successful.
