Lady Gaga’s ‘Joanne’ at 10: Every Track Ranked

Lady Gaga’s *Joanne* marked a shift from her earlier pop sound towards country, rock, Americana and folk. Released in 2016 and named for her late aunt, the album explores grief and trauma alongside friendship, vulnerability, self-love and social justice, and helped popularise pop stars’ later “back-to-roots” phases.

Co-produced by Gaga, Mark Ronson and BloodPop, *Joanne* debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won the Grammy for best pop vocal album. Its title track won best pop solo performance, while “Million Reasons” was also nominated. The article ranks the standard and deluxe editions’ tracks from worst to best, discussing songs including the protest track “Angel Down” and the female friendship duet “Hey Girl”.
