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.

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?

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

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.

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.

[reece(:]

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
