its not hard to be third most streamed, since she entered spotify almost the same time the song and movie was released, and as i said, it was helped by the movie, not the song itself

so where does I’ll Never Love Again stack because of the movie ?

I think Yoü and I was a poor choice for a single. It didn’t do anything and the GP was sick of her at that point. They wanted a gay bop to dance to (Scheiße) after TFM but her fking label got in the way. 

I somewhat agree. I think You and I is a great song that showcases the versatility of her (and the BTW album) but her aesthetic was high fashion and alien haute couture at that time and a country-influenced song wasn't exactly complementing the fashion.

Gaga is a terrific ballad singer but it wasn't until Joanne and ASIB when she toned down her 'crazy fashion' that her ballads really resonated with people. ScheiBe would've been an amazing choice.

I love this for Gaga, BM is a masterpiece and achieving this over a decade after its release is so so so cool! In my dreams she’ll release something additional for it (i.e lyric video, MV) but it’s just so cool seeing a song as unique and masterful as this one be embraced by an audience that she’s struggled to take hold of in the past.

tbh, the BTW album is so underrated by the GP.  It deserved so much more exposure and recognition.

Im so bitter that the team played it safe with the singles after the Judas catastrophe.  IMO, the deep cuts on this album are far better than the singles we got post Judas.

I’m always in two minds about how the BTW era should’ve been handled. I personally lived for Judas as the second single because it embodied everything about her artistry at that point in her career, but I can also acknowledge that it wasn’t as well received by the masses/critics as it was by her core fan base for various reasons.

Had she released ‘Edge of Glory’ as the second single, I think singles #3, #4 & #5 would have performed far better because TEOG would have performed better than Judas did commercially (and critically). Literally no-one hated on TEOG during its time, & I think it’s what the BTW era needed after the unfairness/outright bullying Gaga copped as a result of the BTW/Madonna comparisons when BTW was released.

Im always changing my mind re: BTW’s should’ve been single run, but I think ‘Hair’ should’ve been a genuine single because it was received so well when she put it out as a promo single. What would I know though? :toofunny:

There are a thousand ways to speculate how the BTW era singles could have been selected better, but the overexposure she was experiencing even earlier in that era makes it hard to imagine anything working out differently. 
 

Bloody Mary getting it’s justice now far more iconic anyway.

I'm so confused by the "she was overexposed" thing.

Taylor Swift is literally everywhere right now and it's doing nothing but boosting her so why would popularity hurt Gaga in 2011? Actually, why is Gaga the only artist that seems to be hurt by popularity?

Genuine question :hmm:

I think the thing with Gaga might have been that even if you didn't follow her career you've been confronted with her quite a bit. That's how omnipresent she was. Taylor is very successful and gets a lot of publicity as well but as a non-fan I can still pretty much ignore her existence.

Well better to be on TOP of that list. Rather than being the g.u.y of BBH100

I actually agree ,  i have not even come across any Taylor music or relevant news post 2020 even though shes released stuff.

Gaga on the other hand in 2011 was on all the red carpets, with the controversial performances , heavily talked about looks , winning multiple awards, speculations about her relationships or some controvery, regarding her music or talent, twitter feuds.  Etc she was pretty much polarising every sphere of entertainment showbiz and she's pretty much done that again Since dropping Joanne but controlled it better this time 

Taylor is not overexposed or polarising. yes, her music charts very  well but that's about it.

This is the only thing I can think of tbh.

Taylor has no controversies while Gaga was using Judas' betrayal as a metaphor for pain, singing about being a hooker for the government, and pushing gay rights before it really became mainstream :rip:
