Chromatica

***Chromatica*** is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It was originally set for release on April 10, 2020, but was postponed by Gaga for later that year. This is due to the worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Gaga later revealed that the album would be released on May 29, 2020.

"Rain on Me" became Gaga's fifth and Grande's fourth US number-one.

"Sour Candy", with South Korean girl group Blackpink, was released as the album's first promotional single a day before the album's release.

The album entered at number one on the US, UK, Australian, and Dutch album charts and the top three in Belgium. In the US, it became Gaga's sixth number-one album.
