Lady Gaga's 'Joanne' Turns 10: A Decade Later, Which Tracks Actually Hold Up?

Lady Gaga's Joanne hit different when it dropped a decade ago. Coming off the maximalist pop spectacle of Cheek to Cheek and ARTPOP, she stripped things down—raw vocals, Americana influences, a more intimate songwriting approach. Love it or hate it, it was a genuine left turn.

Now Billboard's taking inventory. They've ranked all 14 tracks on the album, including bonus cuts, putting a critical lens on which songs justified the experiment and which ones feel like detours in hindsight. Some probably stand taller than others—that's how albums work, especially one this personal and uneven.

Joanne wasn't trying to be the biggest or loudest record in Gaga's catalog. It was trying to be honest. Whether that mission landed perfectly on every track is exactly the kind of conversation worth having ten years later. Worth checking the ranking to see where your favorites landed and whether you agree with the verdict.
