US Charts Discussion (Part 4)

[craig 680]

I don't think music videos play big of a role as they used to.

It ain't the 80s anymore. Good songs drive video views far more than good videos drive song purchases.

If gagas next album is full of experimental music again and religious songs bashing Jesus i will no lomger be a fan ill see.

[starshipsslayed 0]

Yeah, Gaga isn't the artist for you

Why would you want generic songs with little to no meaning?

TEOG BTW and MTN are 3 of her greatest songs.

They **** on PF, JD, LG, Paparazzi, and Telephone any day

Let's stay on topic and keep it respectful.

If we're going to discuss Gaga songs in this thread, let's do so always keeping chart performances and sales figures in mind. This is not the Gaga Thoughts section.

Thank you! :adam:

Fame Gaga made a departure 2.5 years ago when Gaga proceeded to The Fame Monster era. You're clinging on to something that is not going to happen. That Gaga WILL NOT come back, Lady Gaga is an artist who takes joy in reinventing herself constantly. She will change and evolve for the rest of her career. Will she make fun songs in the future? Of course. But will they be similar to those on The Fame? I doubt it and I hope not. I stan for Gaga because I trust her ability to change her music and adapt it to mainstream music but still remain innovative and recognizably Gaga. Besides, who said that current Gaga isn't fun? Last time I checked songs like Born This Way, The Edge of Glory, Government Hooker, You and I, Heavy Metal Lover, are all enjoyable songs with light/understandable lyrics that I can jam to.

Quite frankly, there are plenty of other artists that you can stan for that are fun and make funner music than Gaga. Ie. Rihanna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears (I stan for Britney for her fun music and I stan for Gaga to get more artistic/versatile music). Nicki Minaj. :ohwell:

BB Hot 100 calculations for the week based on all 7 days of itunes bars, current airplay and a streaming estimate

#position, sales (000's) + airplay (A.I. millions) + streaming (20Ks) = points*, artist, song, (change on Hot 100)

#1 244 + 178 + 55 = 349 Carly Rae Jepsen CMM (=)

#2 195 + 182 + 46 = 312 Maroon 5 Payphone ft. Khalifa (=)

#3 160 + 187 + 48 = 297 Gotye STIUTK ft Kimbra (=)

#4 221 + 96 + 27 = 241 Katy Perry WA (=)

#5 117 + 145 + 22 = 211 Rihanna WHYB (=)

#6 151 + 90 + 33 = 199 Ellie Goulding Lights (=)

#7 85 + 110 + 40 = 181 Fun. WAY ft. Monae (=)

#24 38 + 74 + 13 = 96 Kelly Clarkson Stronger (-3)

*points = 62% x sales/K + 80% x airplay (A.I. millions) + 5% x on demand streaming/K

Have subtracted an estd. 44K sales from Payphone for 'Complete My Album'; it would be close for #1 if not for that.

Top 10 might be largely unchanged

Boyfriend's rise is merely recovery from last week's complete my album effect

WHYB's airplay too high for its sales (compare Lights, WA, Titanium etc)

Approx weekly sales for Gaga: PF 6.9K, TEOG 6.5K, BTW 6.0K, JD 5.8K, BR 5.6K, Y+I 5.5K

****...thats bad.

TEOG used to be her best selling song. Now I'm worried - it may not reach that 3x platinum :(

[Jase 13,043]

um no sorry but no I'm on gagadaily because I'm still her for fame gaga with hee cute bangs mtn,BTW, and eog are NOT BETTER THAN pokerface, paparazzi or telephone sorry but no.

I don't think TEOG will reach 3 platinum. Maybe with her tour...but I doubt it.

and the Fame is not coming back. Get over it.

All I cared about was Y&I going double platinum, which it did.
