DontDoubtDavid 1,185 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Now that Do What U Want has finally peaked on radio and has little to no chance of rebounding, the question is on the table: was Do What U Want a bigger hit than Judas? -Judas peaked higher on the BB100 (#10) than DWUW (#13) -Judas's music video has more views than DWUW's -DWUW has had light years more longevity than Judas -DWUW had more AI than Judas (DWUW: 60.790; Judas: 27. 232 (i think idk)) Was it? (I only did America, because I cba to find the WW numbers) What music video? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,365 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 It took Judas 3 years to reach 940K while it took DWUW to reach the same amount in 2 months. DWUW will likely go on to sell over 1.5 million. It's a very obvious YES... DWUW is miles more successful that Judas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo 8 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 But DWUW does not have a video so how can you compare them based on mv views? That was supposed to be a joke but ok The point of this thread was pretty much that chart positions do not reflect how big a song is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,365 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 It didn't do worse in sales Where are people getting this from? It looks frustrating trying to get people to understand :p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroe 24 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Judas has a very special place in my heart and is in my top 5 gaga songs but DWUW was a bigger hit for the GP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Monster 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 It's going to outsell Judas' almost 3 year sales this week, and was actually in the Top 15 on radio unlike Judas which failed to get into the Top 30 So yeah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 It didn't do worse in sales Where are people getting this from? Exactly. Just because Judas peaked higher doesn't mean it performed better. The time they've been in the charts should already be a clear indicator. DWUW is on its 13th week and it's still within the top 20. The same could never be said towards Judas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Criminal 2 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 That was supposed to be a joke but ok The point of this thread was pretty much that chart positions do not reflect how big a song is Yeah but DWUW never reached its full potential because didn't get a video, which is the 50% of the promo for any song. If it had gotten a video it would've definitely gotten a push. So this comparison between JUDAS & DWUW is invalid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy scheisse 21,315 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I heard Judas ONCE on the radio. ONCE. The day it leaked. I've heard DWUW several times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Bigger in terms of longevity, sales, and definitely public popularity. Peaks don't really count without any kind of longevity or popularity imo. That would be like saying Dope is a bigger hit than Do What U Want because it peaked higher. It might've peaked at #13, but it's been very stable in the Top 15/20 since it's release. Do What U Want was a lot bigger than Judas, and no one should be upset about Do What U Want's peak or call it a "flop" because it wasn't. It did well (especially without a music video) & was a decent-sized hit that was loved by seriously almost everyone. -Judas's music video has more views than DWUW's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryhanna 3,507 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes, easily. Why do people think DWUW didn't sell as well as Judas? Judas had like a week of decent sales and completely fell off the map. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I heard Judas on the radio a few times, but DWYW much more. I'm actually a bit suprised that DWYW's peak was lower than Judas' #10. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
