Madonna wouldn't be relevant WITHOUT Gaga. Its the main reason why she's here still making (terrible) music. She'll probably ask Gaga, this time BEG, for Gaga to perform on stage with ha.
She'll get Katy or Rihanna. They seem to be all on a level playing field now since GaGa's decline. Maybe even Iggy and her new "it" rapper status.
It's used negatively because it means the era died quickly. So the music did not help sell the album, only the hype and the artist's name. It also means that the era hurt the artist, because a front-loaded era is usually part of, or the beginning of a downward slope. No one wants their era to be front-loaded.
Very well, then. I guess I was overthinking the concept of front-loading,
thinking that it can be controlled by a company or record label.
