Lady Gaga‘s got a packed schedule right now, between promoting her new single and preparing for the premiere of her new film. But Mother Monster still made sure there was enough time to keep her fans fed.

In a post to her X account on Tuesday (Sept. 3), Gaga shared a glimpse at her itinerary for the next month, including premieres and press junkets for Joker: Folie à Deux. But at the bottom of the photo, the star also revealed that fans waiting for her long-awaited seventh studio album won’t have to wait much longer. Following a note stating the Oct. 4 premiere date for the new film, Gaga’s schedule ended with a line that read, “XX October: LG7 first single.”

The news comes amid a series of teases from the pop star for her new album. At the end of her concert film Gaga Chromatica Ball, Gaga first revealed the existence of the new record, with the words “LG7 GAGA RETURNS” flashing across the screen. Then, following her performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the star took to the streets outside of her hotel to play eager fans two short snippets of new songs off the project.

Fans got a first glimpse at what new music from her album might sound like with “Die With a Smile,” the singer’s romantic collaboration with Bruno Mars. The song debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Aug. 31, marking the singer’s highest charting track since her 2020 Ariana Grande team-up “Rain on Me” reached No. 1.

Sum 41 Scores Second Alternative Airplay No. 1 This Year With ‘Dopamine’

The band's second and third No. 1s have led over two decades after its first in 2001.

After earning its first No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in over two decades earlier this year, Sum 41 scores another as “Dopamine” rises a spot to No. 1 on the Nov. 30-dated survey.

The song follows the two-week Alternative Airplay command for “Landmines” in March. The latter led 22 years, five months and three weeks after Sum 41’s first No. 1, “Fat Lip,” in August 2001, rewriting the record for the longest break between rulers for an act in the chart’s 36-year history. It shattered the previous best test of patience, held by The Killers, who waited 13 years and six months between the reigns of “When You Were Young” in 2006 and “Caution” in 2020.
