This.

I loved GaGa sfm through The Fame Monster but her fans have put me off her.

Legend.

Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone commended the nods to Madonna, giving the song four stars out of five, and commenting that "'Born This Way' sums up all the complex Gaga mythos, all her politics and Catholic angst and smeared lipstick, in one brilliant pop blast. [The song is] an event, a statement, the most anticipatrended song in the history of recorded music, or at least since Britney’s 'Hold It Against Me'."

the last line confuses me.

I'm been a fan of Gaga since the start but I must say #3 is pretty bad for the first single from the new album. I thought it would at least climb to #2 this week, but for Jessie J to beat her who's track 'Price Tag' has been available for a good few weeks now is bad. Not overly bad like some people are making out and it's not what I'd consider a 'flop' but it is bad for Gaga standards. There's still a chance it could climb to #1 but if she's really leaving the video release until Thursday then she will only have 2 days to do it and that's unlikely to happen.

Personally, I wish she would do some promo for it. I know she's busy but doing no promotion over here and relying on the music channels and radio to sell it is bad. When your a singer, your expected to do some promotion, as a duty to make sure your song sells but doing nothing at all is pretty lame. I know she did the Grammys but like Smithy said that was watched by less than 200,000 people here. She should have really thought about all of this before releasing the single, making sure she had some time promote the song. I'm aware that she's touring currently but still I wish she would have done some.

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

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.

Oh right I missed that, it was just cos someone on here said it wasnt actually a single

And maybe it would have done, I still think it should be expected to beat Adele & Jessie J, just my opinion though

InOne · 20-02-2011, 11:35 PM

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.

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.

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?

MeMyselfAndI · 21-02-2011, 12:24 AM

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