She may not have promoted it over here apart from radio interviews, but the song has been easily accessible through radio and TV. It's been hard to miss it. Some may have warmed to it but a large majority haven't, the general feeling was that it wasn't as good as her previous singles. Die hard fans love it of course but the general buying public didn't warm to it like they did Poker Face, Bad Romance, Paparazzi and Bad Romance. She's already lost a load of fans with this era alone, she'll still have a big fanbase yes, but from the sound of this Judas video, it's likely she'll lose a lot more. She's pushing the boundaries with her religious fans. Singing about loving Judas, the man who betrayed Jesus Christ, is already appalling enough but portraying the Bible in the music video and giving religion more bad publicity is a bit much even for Gaga.

LoveGame....the 4th single (in the UK) from an album which had sold over a million copies, yeah Im soooo shocked it didn't get any higher.

I still don't see your point, if people haven't warmed to it why has is sold so well, it's had steady sales since it's release and it's likely the song will sell another 50/100k by the end of the year. I don't see how she's lost fans, either, just because she's released a song some people aren't too keen on doesn't mean they dislike her as an artist, it just means that they dislike a song she's released And tbh, "religious" fans should be more bothered about whats actually happening within the church, GaGa's released a new single and a belgian bishops just admitted to molesting his nephews, which do you think people are more pissed about?

And I don't see how people can complain about the video when they haven't seen it, 90% of the time rumors floating around about vidoes are wrong
