Are you guys surprised that "Born This Way" is that most non-Joanne purchased song after the Super Bowl?

 

I totally thought it would be Poker Face or Bad Romance. 

 

" Born This Way" is an AMAZING, ICONIC song, its just that i figured the GP would go for the other two. 

 

Thoughts?

Considering she sang "no matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgender life" to Mike Pence, I don't find it surprising.

i think it's because it's set in a major key and carries a very uplifting message, which we've been missing from pop music/culture for some time now

There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

didn't it spend like several weeks at the top of the billboard hot 100 chart when it came out? I would say it's her most successful song so it does make sense that it charted higher :green:

I'm surprised Telephone was the lowest charting one after the superbowl 

To go along with Bléach having the lowest ratings for a halftime show. Her impact >

I thought Bad Romance would be it but then I thought it made sense cause BTW fits the political momentum + everybody already bought Bad Romance in 2009 :sis: 

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

I'm just really surprised since I would've bet on Poker Face, Bad Romance, and Just Dance outselling Born This Way

But I guess since most people bought the former songs I mentioned, they had yet to buy Born This Way or something

Also, the younger generation who were still children in the playground at the time are in their teen years and they are all over following pop culture trends heavily. Like, I just can't consider myself a Millennial/Generation Y along with that group of youths. They're just so different to Millennials in that some Millennials did not even have a computer or internet access until the 2000s, but whatever group is after Millennials have been around smart technology their whole lives, and with things like Snapchat and Vine before it got cancelled, you could keep track of these social trends better than most people twice their age. So crazy to think about
