Gaga's 5th biggest hit

[Moo 2,082]

I gave The Edge of Glory a pity vote.  I feel like that would've been her fifth biggest hit if they hadn't c*cked up the release so badly. 

Sidenote, I think people don't give Alejandero enough credit as a global hit. Sure, its peaks weren't as high as Just Dance, but it was a solid top ten in basically every country it charted. In terms of global hits, its probably on  the same level as Just Dance to be honest.

I'd say Telephone. Especially since she performed it PLUS those 4 hits at the SuperBowl. (MR is too new tbh)

[AIex 3,102]

Obviously Alejandro

[MonsterOfSpain 8,318]

US - Telephone

Europe - Alejandro

WW - Probably Alejandro too

[XXXXX 4,775]

Paparazzi is one of the first Gaga songs I've heard alongside BR & PF, so Paparazzi

Spoiler

But actually Telephone

 

[PrinceOfTheStorm 5,904]

I voted LoveGame.  It deserved a pity vote, though Paparazzi is good too 

[Panchecco 17,605]

voted for TEOG but it's probably Telephone considering its sales/streams (?)

[monketsharona 80,304]

Telephone, it's a global smash hit

To me it's :

Bad Romance

Poker Face

Just Dance 

Born This Way

Telephone

Alejandro

Paparazzi

Applause

The Edge of Glory

You and I

LoveGame

Million Reasons (Tied with Do What U Want that worked very good in Europe)

I didn't know Telehone sold 7.4 millions WW  It's definitely her 5th biggest hit, then imho Applause, TEOG-Alejandro.

I may be wrong here, but since we are talking about her global hits, I think it's a bit unfair to introduce Just Dance to that circle. Now, don't get me wrong, because the legacy of that song is undeniable, but we're talking about the global nature of her songs, and therefore imma explain. 

I think Just Dance did a tremendous job of helping large audience discover Gaga, but I also think it was very English-oriented. The big deal of this song is about its merry and playful lyrics which non-English speaking audience may not appreciate. Apart from urging people to just dance, she is talking about keys, seeing straight and twisting that dance. I think that explains why the song was warmly received in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK and USA, but struggled to resonate across Europe. 

And I know many people will come for me for that, but Born This Way, the song, was also not very global. It surely did enjoy gigantic opening sales, but apart from the English speaking countries, the radio stations in Europe didn't support it with decent airplay, because the sound of Born This Way was too much of a departure from her Fame Monster sound for them. The Edge of Glory, on the contrary, was a Gaga radio renaissance in EU, because it relied on a relatable melody and beautiful voice and harmony, and the performance of the Edge of Glory in Italy at Pride did help the song to succeed in Europe. 

So I would go for:

Poker Face, Bad Romance, The Edge of Glory, Applause and Million Reasons

I think it's TEOG guys, I really don't think Telephone was that big globally as some are trying to make it  I hear TEOG on the radio all the time.

Agree about Paparazzi! It screams "Gaga"...but not so sure about Alejandro. It goes  like this: Paparazzi, then BTW, then Alejandro 

I think Alejandro is her biggest hit in South/East Europe, it's her signature song here I swear

Just was HUGE in France (and mainly everywhere)... I think they played Just Dance more in the last year than Joanne's song in France
