Akiki 3,900 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 So, here we are with 4 number #1 hits for our Lady, but I have to say it. Does it really matter that much? It seem a bit like a vanity goal of sorts. Bad Romance never went #1 but it's clearly Gaga's biggest song. being on the Hot 100 by itself is a good indicator of sucess and being the number one song says a lot about you, but in the future do people really remember that song for being number one or the most played? But I can see how being number one is important for new artists. I would say they were more significant in the first days of Gag's career than now.

Twitter 14 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 No because there are several untalented artists that have a #1. However, after 8 years its quite refreshing to see Gaga achieve this again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan twitter ruins a lot of things, if you don't hit #1 these days you're considered a flop lastfm - https://tinyurl.com/4x28kakr⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀steam - https://tinyurl.com/mbyp5as5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 61,109 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I still think Poker Face is her biggest song not Bad Romance. Bad Romance just established her Gaga aesthetic and was a big hit but it wasnt bigger than poker face... Also they matter now that she got one again otherwise it wouldnt Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doppelganger 3,933 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Not important. But nice to have. I’d take longevity in the charts over a quick #1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauvais 0 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 #1s absolutely don't matter. I read a great comment one time on some site that said something like "the GP doesn't even know these girls release albums" which is the cold hard truth. I told my mom that Shallow went #1 because she liked ASIB and works in the film industry so she isn't totally oblivious to metrics, and she was like "how does a song go number #1?" Billboard charts are the girls and gays version of, like, sports league rankings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serial Chiller 8,044 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Doesnt matter as much as having Grammies Oscar BAFTA, CCA But once you have all that, a no.1 is the icing on the cake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangTheGong 310 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Well I often look at Wikipedia billboard achievements and the only songs from the 60s-70s I really listen to are the #1s or ones that have reached major mile stones. I think people in the future will do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,762 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 No. Years from now people won't remember which songs went #1. If decades from now people recognize a song when they hear it, that's really something special. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derpmonster 22,412 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 It's more of a token now. But a good indicator of commercial power that someone still has. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Beyonce hasn't had her own #1 in a while. Would you say she hasn't got commercial power? I wouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
