DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Lady Gaga was a force to be reckoned with on Mainstream Top 40 radio from the time her career started. To further understand that power, here are Gaga's week to week singles performances on mainstream top 40 radio. I've only included the weeks when the songs were in the top 20 positions because thats the only data that was available to me. -One thing to note, "Do What U Want" actually did alright on this chart, but you'll see theres a point when it takes a nose dive off the chart. This is the time when Gaga had her meltdown on social media. Could the record label or Clear Channel stations been told by a higher up to stop playing the song to get back at Gaga? idk it just seemed peculiar to me.

I'm from new england and I know that when I've been to Cali, they're always playing different stuff (usually the newer stuff) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobster 14,604 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Just now, Wenli said: Marry the Night broke the top 10 streak, which is strange since it's such a great song. Judas*, which is strange, too, since it's such a great song. But I can see radios ignoring it to avoid some Americans claiming their religion is being oppressed every time that song plays on the radio But I'm only a man and I do what I can.

Her biggest radio hits here was JD, PF or BR. TEOG & Yoü And I were big here as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlop 4,773 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Venus would've done so well considering it was supposed to have a radio deal amongst it's release. And if Applause wasn't rush released, it also had a planned radio deal. Marry The Night and GUY deserved so much more. BYE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
