LMFAO are performing on BGT tonight -SIGH-

[Americano 31,061]

Gaga's candids today :legend:

[Jase 13,289]

Her fashion recently has been absolutely flawless

[Americano 31,061]

-Nightmares of the eyebrow sunglasses

I love her tour fashion too, so it's been Gaga galore lately for me.

Why is Rita Ora number one? :eek:

[Harry 26,836]

Did anyone list all of Gaga's entries on the Top 150 Biggest Selling Singles of the Century? In case they didn't...

14. Poker Face

27. Bad Romance

31. Just Dance

90. Telephone

94. Born This Way

148. Paparazzi

If I counted right she has the 2nd most songs on there with 6, behind Rihanna who has 7. Though 4 of Rihanna's are features, where only one of Gaga's is. Unless we want to count Colby O'Donis who was of course responsible for Just Dance's success.

Some of the other girls on the list:

Katy - 4

Beyonce - 4

Jessie J - 3

Adele - 2

Shakira - 2

Madonna - 1

Kesha - 1

LMFAO are performing on BGT tonight -SIGH-

Christ almighty

:cry:

So proud of how far she's come. Just keeps gettin' bigger.

Who knew in just a few short years she'd be selling out STADIUMS in ASIA. One of the most hostile places to Western artists.

(And then selling out the rest of the world like it's easier than anything else she's done.)

Stay classy, Rihanna.

"One of the richest popstars in the world". Clueless. Get dat hyperbole, Adele.

Dreading her ****ty Voice performance tbh

I REALLY want to be wrong when I say I think it's going to be a massive hit, I reeeeeally do.

If it does become a massive hit afterwards, she'll have The Voice to thank completely for that. If it wasn't around, she'd literally have no tv platform on which to perform it for huge promo. If so, we'll know why will.i.am is grinning like the Chesire Cat the following week.

I'm praying that the way it's release is over a month away will affect it, with fake versions, people bored of it before it even comes out etc. But, it's the UK so it probably won't :cry:

Seconded. The annoying thing is, if Gaga took a gap that long between radio premiere and download it would flop. What makes the UK stick behind idiotic dolly birds who make songs that are quickly forgotten? And worse, they just need one promo performance (or in Tulisa's case, no promo performance at all) and they get #1's instantly. Maybe it's a patriotism thing, I don't know.

The Sun claims this, which means it might not be true. But knowing Rihanna, I wouldn't put it past her.

Oh yeah, and the UK press has really pulled out all the stops on making sure Adele constantly pop up in articles about how much money she made and how much her album's sold. She made the most money out of any UK artist this year. Let's see her repeat that for year after year. Topping the list once when you released an album that was a massive hit doesn't make you one of the most successful pop artists in the world. I couldn't believe it when she made headlines for overtaking Thriller's UK sales. Tell us when she overtakes Queen's Greatest Hits UK sales (the biggest selling album in the UK). Then it will be news.

Actually it may surprise you to learn that isn't true

Oh, yeah, forgot that list. I remember it really surprised me. No, the list I was referring to was the Richest UK Singers Under 25. Looks like they made that list really specific to make sure Adele was #1.
