What Song Was More Successful? Judas vs You and I

I didn’t know about Yoü and I until I became a Stan.

I think You and I did extremely well for the type of song that it is AND it was the 4th single. Judas got so much success because it was new, controversial (music video views), it was the next Bad Romance, got the advantage of the lead single hype, etc. I feel like it came more like a storm that faded in weeks. You and I had more longevity, not to mention she had been performing it for like a year before Born This Way was even released.

Judas, well, it had great hooks and that crazy chorus. The video helped a lot. But You and I had better impact on people to foster the idea of Gaga as a vocalist. Plus, it has been covered on so many tv shows.

Judas hands down. I don’t think many people know about You and I outside of the fanbase.

You and I

Its instantly recognizable as a Gaga song. I hear it in bars all the time (whether it be karaoke or jukebox). Whereas most people I know never even heard of Judas.

Judas did better WW at it’s time, but that’s mostly because of its genre. Also, in 2011, YouTube views counted more for sales than they do now. 

Gaga could tour Europe nowadays and the crowd would go crazy over You and I as opposed to Judas.

Judas was so big in France and You And I

In America You & I was the bigger hit.

Judas in my country.  i remember in school bus it played everyday for weeks.

i never ever heard You and I in the radio or anywhere.

Not really, because people say BTW is a bigger hit than Telephone, but Telephone has more longevity. Same with Alejandro

Although arguable, good examples! Telephone has indeed enjoying more longevity, although Born This Way had an enormous peak. Telephone cemented Gaga's pop culture icon status, Born This Way was a worldwide defying song as a social-acceptance anthem and it's the ultimate example of what pop music talked about back then.

The thing is, Telephone and BTW were both huge. While Judas and You and I were both... moderately successful. And with "moderate hits", where the peak wasn't that high anyway, the song who lasted longer might take the crown home.

I feel Judas still have more longevity because You and I didn't chart in some countries that Judas did and You and I spent less than 5 weeks in some countries when its peak was so low like in the 90s or 100s.
