I disagree, think there has been much divided opinion over this tune and the majority don't like it, either way what is certain is that Lady Gaga will be more driven to succeed because some just want her to fail.

Depends how good 'Judas' is.

It doesn't depend on the one tune, Gaga will still have her dedicate core UK fanbase regardless unless some fans get fed up or have had enough because IMO most people are fickle when it comes to music.

Hopefully Judas with RedOne will be better because her tracks with him are usually great!.

Exactly.

If some fans thought 'Born This Way' is the weakest single and dont like it, and 'Judas' continues on the disappointment, she will lose fans... which will hence start her decline of success in the UK.

The British press are certainly always interested in what extremes Gaga gets up to...

Born This Way is in the top 30 preorders on Amazon, ahead of femme fetale which is released in 4 weeks, I don't really think it is

The video won't affect a damn thing as far as UK sales go. She released a sub standard song and on a stupid release date and it's her own fault for hyping it up so much when in fact it's like a subpar Madonna B-Side from the 80's.

People bought it because of the initial hype and it's plummeting sales since only prove that the song itself is weak and that people just don't care about it.

[Zippy]

the song sucks ass and just doesn't have the quality to sustain itself beyond the initial hype. It's not like we even heard it long before its release either. After just a couple of weeks its already tired. It actually grates on my now with its crass, clumsy lyrics and overbusy production.

The video will no doubt give it a boost but all that proves is that the song itself is weak and needs distracting imagery to inflate its worth. So much for being a real artist of substance when she needs expensive pop videos to flog her wears.

And her album will never sell as many as Fame because those figures were grossly inflated anyways by adding two separately released albums sales together. Cheating.

Brilliant that Adele is absolutely massive worldwide at the moment just to show her up. Now there's a woman who really lets the voice and music do all the talking. No gimmicks or publicity stunts.

[InOne]

Never really hear it in on the radio either

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

the song deserves to flop tbh she shouldnt be guaranteed success just because of who she is

There is a thread for this? OMFG THE POWER OF GAGA!

[Tom4784]

Yes, the power of disappointing chart positions is strong with this one.

thats just a snapshot of a specific time when people were rushing to buy a song they hadnt been able to hear before. And itunes is not official chart positions.

when the hype cooled down the song just couldnt sustain itself.

Wrong. Again. If someone wanted to listen to the song for the first time, they wouldn't buy on iTunes, they would listen for free on YouTube and then decide.

And official charts:
Australia - #1
Canada - #1
Finland - #1
Ireland - #1
Netherlands - #1
New Zealand - #1
South Korea - #1
Spain - #1
Russia - #1
Switzerland - #1
US - #1 (First song since 2000 to stay at #1 for a second week after a #1 debut)

yep a much shorter list this time!

and its not just about listening to it. They couldnt obtain it before either. When a song is put out there weeks prior to release then many will DL it at some point for free. Gaga wouldnt have sold half that amount if the song had been leaked weeks prior. Of that I'm sure.

thank god
