http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/singles/print - says here it was at 47 last week. That wiki article doesnt say it was a single either.

The point is that Gaga not having a video doesnt mean #3 is a good position considering that Adele's song has had no promotion other than the Brits performance; the wiki link you put in your post even says that. If she can reach number 1 and climb 47 places with no promo then Gaga should be able to do it with the most hyped song of the year, the first single from a hugely hyped album as well.

Well it was 30 something the week before then :hmph:

And it does, it says on the right hand side, single by Adele. And my point is, if she'd of had the full 7 day sales she would be #1, it's just she shot herself in the foot by releasing it last friday.

:joker:

Oh right I missed that, it was just cos someone on here said it wasnt actually a single :p And maybe it would have done, I still think it should be expected to beat Adele & Jessie J, just my opinion though :spin:

Yeah GaGa is a flop. But she was Born This Way :,)

If she hadn't of released it on Friday, someone on this forum wouldn't be able to contain themselves and die.

I think it must have recently been made a single as a last minute decision because it's doing so well. I know the plan was originally for Set Fire to the Rain to be the second single.

It would have leaked anyway coz of radio play
IIRC, It was gonna be SLY then they changed it to SFTTR, then when it got into the top 40 on downloads alone, they changed it back.

Hmm shame n1currr about MnM's

edit: wait what? 100 million views of what?

well im going by what the official charts have said which they said adeles song was number 47 before this week.:p

thats good.:joker:

With what? :conf2:

LTWYL got 6 million in 24 hours

and not really gurl is at 1 billion already

The emperor's naked! She has no clothes! At last! Now we see!

Umm, I think the best way to proceed is to delete the off-topic Leona Lewis vs everyone posts. All this arguing over pop music and the charts and sales?

I nly said Lady Gaga flopped because all their fans did it to me for over a year! but i wont post anymore

Nah, it's clearly member vs. member under the cover of it being about pop music.

Just delete the whole thread :bored:

There's already a charts thread

Right This thread is closed. (Use the charts thread). :thumbs:

Hush.
Special events need their own thread :D

Yeah s LTWYL back in the charts 33rd wwek I heard

The Fame Monster is @ 23 after 110 week :')

-is to bored of the BTW argument to carry on-

Good. Because it was bored of shifting copies.

Heh. I'm killing me.

relatively speaking it is a fail.

Hitting number one is not a big stretch for an artist of her status. Especially with a brand new song from a new album...following a 10mill plus album. And at this time of the year too when sales are low. Also..

easy to create huge instant high demand when you build up the pressure and then pop the cork. Nobody even got to hear it prior to its release. How often does that happen? Obviously it would create a big surge of interest...which of course was the plan.

Adele's Rolling in the deep was out there a good 3 months before its release and STILL went on to be a huge hit worldwide. And it will hang around for months. Because it is a quality song with substance. I suspect BTW will quickly plummet.

Musically it is certainly a fail. Even her fanatics are admitting its her worst single. So much for moving forward.

Im quite confused with thus thread now :L

It was demerged? :laugh2:

Apparently so D:

*is not in admin or Mod's good books* that must be a first

-is confused-

so am i smithy.

:conf2:

ever since gaga left the fun persona of the first album which was phenominal she has gone rapidly done hill mainly because shes trying to hard to become this mother monster who is a hideous creature that now makes dreadful music as shown with born this way which is just terrible and lets hope the video is better than alejandro and she gets rid of those stupid prosthetic horns

yay for adele :love:

The problem with Lady Gaga is she has absolutely no sense of humour. Everything she does is so po-faced. She looks a fright but she thinks she's a Real Artist, when all she is is a amalgam of past pop artists (Madonna, Bjork, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Hazel O'Conner, Gwen Staffani, Marilyn Manson, Boy George etc) and repackaged.

Adele's album is released in America tomorrow. It's already number 6 on US itunes just on pre-orders. Plus her last album(19) is at number 9. Her single Rolling in the deep looks set to make a huge leap on Billboard hot100 as its now up to number 8 on itunes.

Amazing how her last album is also getting a whole new lease of life.

Good luck, Adele!

*still hasn't even heard BTW*

How is 135,000 copies over the past week a low amount of sales? Don't be ridiculous.

Every artist builds hype not just Gaga. The BTW hype may have been a bit more substantial but its a marketing tactic used by nearly all artists.

Having a song out in the wild for an extended period of time doesn't always guarantee success. And I think that BTW might actually climb back up the charts after the video is released.

And no-one can really judge a song based on the music because tbf we all have different tastes. :/ But either way the song is actually really good and I think the majority of Gaga fans are extremely pleased with the song - I for one am.

Excuse me? Most singers have a major influence that they pay homage to. Marilyn Monroe had a massive influence on Madonna for example. Ugh. :bored:

Her music videos are really good, Ill give her that. But she needs to save the wierdness for them and be more 'normal'.

When she talks theres like, no emotion..

BTW fallen to 4 on itunes.

I really don't remember Madonna ripping off a Marilyn Monoe single. Madonna has payed homage to Monroe but she didn't try and repackage her and something "new!" and "outrageous!" and "dangerous!"

Gaga is a fake.
