Why didn't The Edge of Glory go to #1?

Born This Way is Gaga's last #1 hit and The Edge of Glory is the one that came the closest there until today...

 

What do you think - why didn't it reach #1?

 

Was the GP turned off by her looks? But BTW also reached #1...

Was a proper video needed? It's anthemic sound should've been enough...

 

I mean there are a lot of factors. There's no need to go #1, Britney's Till The World Ends #3 was way more successful than Hold It Against Me #1 and I know that there's also the lead single factor, but honestly I'm surprised Born This Way in total sold more than The Edge of Glory!

Because it was rush released + the bad video..

If it was released as the official 2nd single, IT WOULD HAVE DEBUTED AT NUMBER 1 and there is like NO DENYING.  (well It could've been also blocked by Rolling in the DEEP but still I believe it could've easily be number 1 :giveup: )

bad promo... it was too stretched in time

 

video came too late after song's release and wasn't interesting enough

 

also Judas was often performed with it, like why ? if it wasn't successful and you chose to go with the 3rd single, don't give it half of the performance

BTW was the first Gaga song since TFM but it actually wasn't as popular as it's sales make it seem. It damaged her image and then Judas damaged it even more. 

 

TEOG was popular but it had been a buzz single for a while before it was a single and it also had to compete with Judas and Hair. She kind of ruins the momentum of her singles by releasing so many buzz singles and promoting them just as much as her actual singles. 

 

Then of course there was the video.

inb4 people blame the video

 

I love the video tbh but there is no denying that it would have helped the song allot more if it was up to the normal Gaga standard.

- It peaked in sales earlier than on radio: sales peak in May + radio peak in August.

- The video didn't help much.

Imagine Gaga staying on the edge of a HUGE ROCK in the middle of the OCEAN, the wind blowing her huge dress and hair, and in the end of the video Gaga jumps in the OCEAN ...

I MEAN THE POSSIBILITIES :nooo:   The most epic song with the most unepic video :emo:
