Wet Fire 6,635 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The IMPACT is undeniable. The way Lady Gaga's rise changed pop music is unprecedented. Born This Way is better though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudraCNG 14,285 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 For a moment I though "wow Bloody Mary's impact" but then I remembered that song is from BTW. I'm such a flop fan... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFM is basically a reissue of TF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyduck 1,061 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 "Up until the Born This Way single, everything she had released was an out of this world smash. Judas, broke this trend completely and suddenly getting a hit, seemed to become more difficult, with each subsequent release." Where is the lie? keep on looking for Psyduck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Edge of Glory, Applause, Million Reasons and Shallow's organic rise, Rain On Me says hi. ARUTW would've been huge had she made that a single as well. It's not hard for her to get a hit song if she puts her mind to it. She just doesn't care about the charts anymore and so shouldn't we. The point is, we should be happy of all the iconic hits we've had but there comes a time in an artist's career where they stop chasing hits because they've already established themselves and have a huge fan base to support them.

And Judas was massive on YouTube back in 2011 when BB Hot 100 didn't count YT views for chart positions. So people need to stop acting like Judas went totally off radar back then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenWonder 3,682 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I feel like ASIB has been at the same number (just over 9 million) for eons. Any one know when that will cross over 10 million? (If TFM sells around a million units a year, I'd assume ASIB isn't far behind that number?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
