Luc 4,775 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Gaga couldn't even score a number one with Bad Romance...freaking BAD ROMANCE! Radio has never treated Gaga's songs like they treat KP's songs. Bad Romance has way more of an impact on the past decade than the majority of Katy's number ones. If BR would have been a song by Katy, radio would have MADE SURE that it hit #1, at least for a couple of weeks! What about Paparazzi only getting to #6? :eek: No, Gaga would not have had 7 #1s...that distinction was and still is reserved for Katy, by radios pushing every one of her songs as hard as they can get away with! Gaga wasn't the kind of artist that was non-polarizing. She wasn't an artist for all the religious/conservatives and little girls and their mommies. She has always pushed buttons and starting with the meat dress...then Alejandro...then BTW, (and everything surrounding it- with the constant, vocal, in your face support of the LGBT community) she started pushing too many in the U.S. When she killed her momentum in the U.S., by being more than a Pop Tart, that was it. Gaga had really bad support from other formats during TF/TFM era, but during the BTW era she got better support from AC/HAC formats. Gaga was HUGE on Pop radio, though..

Luc 4,775 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Gaga wouldn't have a problem, the buzz around her was huge and she had a single in the top 20, and 2 promotional singles, the album would be fine. Judas had a lot of buzz around it and it didn't give the feeling of a flop, it always reeled like a successful single. We don't know how it felt like in the US. I doubt BTW would've opened with 1.1M if they were still pushing Judas. And I also think that BTW could've easily opened with 1.3M+ in the US had Judas never been released. It just shouldn't have been released, it's the biggest mistake in Gaga's career so far. You can't piss off the most important religion in the US and Europe And christians weren't the only ones who lost interest in Gaga because of Judas. Atheists did too, they don't care about God making no mistakes or Judas being the devil and don't want to hear it on the radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,775 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I just realized after Judas she hasn't got another 3x platinum single in the US And she hasn't had a Top 10 in my country :cry: And she hasn't had a Pop Radio hit And she hasn't had impacT like before You can if you are Lady Gaga. Impact >>> Numbers imo. :P What kind of impact did Judas have? The only kind of impact Judas had was on Gaga's career and it was negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris777 112 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 TEOG is very close and Applause will also end up close. TEOG still is like 200k-180k away from 3M, it will take some time. Maybe Applause will get there first iTunes top 1500 275. Lady Gaga - Applause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Gaga - ApplauseMaybe but I think Applause will end up at 2,8M as well. I think that after a SuperBowl performance both songs will reach x3 platinum.

Whispering 18,865 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Bad Romance was against Tik Tok. A song that had big impact in the US. it even had a week selling 600k+ and sold more in the end. Not even Katy Perry could have got a #1 if she was against Tik Tok. Doesn't matter. They could have worked a week at #1 in and they WOULD have done it for Katy!

Dean Winchester 197 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Gaga needs that SuperBowl performance!!! A 2015 superbowl performance would be best. Along with the space performance, it'd do wonders for her next album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
