US Charts Discussion (Gaga single tracking: August)

[tristan 0]

I really like "Stay." Only song besides Diamonds that I downloaded. Not sure how it will do on radio though.

I am shocked at S&S's success. I don't get it. I love Britney but her role in the song is so irrelevant and unnoticeable and somehow that is still enough to save annoying will.i.am's career. He owes her big time.

Not thrilled with S&S's video. Found this from a music blog: "Will.i.am and the production team could have done so much more with this. And what was that Britney? Your legs could barely move and all you were doing were waving your arms and posing like an amateur drag queen!"

Kind of have to agree. I know she's been through a lot and she's older now but I don't understand how she lost all ability to dance whatsoever.

I'll still support her success just cause I know Xtina is somewhere crying lol.

The beat of S&S is just really dope and quite addictive, relatively compared to the current top 10 of the HOT 100 chart. And as for Christina, I think she'd love S&S too, if only she was the one featured on it.

CKB isn't "rock."

Why are we over-crediting Rihanna? That single was more boring than watching paint dry, and that's why it flopped.

Looks like Kesha will peak #2.

If anyone would find a way to pay for views on streaming sites, I'm betting it would be Rihanna's team.

I like this because she blocked Bad Romance the best legendary video!So she gets blocked too :shade:

[EarnYourLeather 231]

no1 is here for Balladanna. Look at CKB, Break It Off, Unfaithful, Hate That I Love You, If I Never See Your Face Again, and Te Amo.

Take A Bow was her biggest ballad I think. And its still very forgettable in her career.

I haven't even heard the bolded. Were these singles? :toofloppy:

Yeah. BIO was one of her earlier singles with Sean Paul, HTILY was with Ne-Yo, IINSYFA was with Maroon 5, and Te Amo was on Rated R (and one of my favorite songs from her).

Looks like Diamonds is going to get another week at #1

I really LOVE that song!! :)

[craig 680]

Interesting that Sia, who basically did the Best David Guetta Song Ever in Titanium, is the writer of Diamonds but hardly anyone knows. I read that she's happier taking a less public role in the industry.
