Is her own music doing well on iTunes (and other) charts? Cheek to Cheek: #28 and #30 That's all for albums charting in the Top 200. Not surprised though. I don't think the purpose was to give her a sales bump. Thanks! Yea I wasn't expecting anything significant Would've been nice to see Artpop getting a boost tho

Lady Gaga was a true diva last night. Enchanting, commanding and breathtaking. She is just a incredible and talented artist that transcends just being another pop star. Bravo girl, bravo!

I'm assuming the second volume that The Ga/TB talked about in the fall is still a go. Whoever has been working with her to reposition her image deserves major kudos. She definitely didn't help herself by declaring "BTW" as the album of century or whatever and then all the "Emergencies" related to ARTPOP. Not good. However, she has done an outstanding job in executing a strategy that is focused on her voice. It's fair to say the vast majority of the public had no idea how great her voice is because of all the stunts, etc. (Mind you, I'm not critical of the outfits, meat dress, etc. - it takes a lot to break out of the pack and she did create a brand.) Now, she needs to capitalize on all the positive buzz. Looks like The Oscars for The Ga = The Grammys for P!nk. I hope new Pop music is on horizon. Overall, an amazing turnaround in less than a year.

I hope her second album with Tony doesn't affect her progress on her next solo pop album. If she's just recording more standards/covers, it shouldn't affect her recording process that much I don't imagine

This whole "adult image" thing is cool if it gets her back in the public's good graces but I hope we don't lose Gaga.

Now, she needs to capitalize on all the positive buzz. Looks like The Oscars for The Ga = The Grammys for P!nk. I hope new Pop music is on horizon. Overall, an amazing turnaround in less than a year. I really liked the first album/era. Just feel she got waay too overexposed and hyped for every single thing she did, wore, said, sang etc...The media absolutely was turning her career in a Madonna, Britney etc... like circus (during their prime/peak). Gaga can sing just as many, many other famous singers around now and non famous people can. I thought she was fine at Oscars and possibly one of the highlights based on the mainly positive feedback but is this just showing that she/her career has been in 'that' bad shape so the bar was raised extra, extra high? lol Musically, sorry but I feel she's basically around where Cyndi Lauper was by this point in her career. Each *pop album* has declined in quality and impact. Obviously there are those who will disagree but I'm looking at sales and hit songs. She's obviously doing ANYthing she can now to think outside of the box...asap to win back the *general public (not just mega fans). Tony Bennett duet albums, performing at the Oscars and clearly trying to win back a lot of the GP/different demographics who she lost after BTW. I do believe they'll still be a lot of hype and enough interest for what the first new POP single will be. *But, I believe if its Applause, Judas, or Do What U Want quality she's gonna run out of passes for good. The fact she recording again w/ RedOne has me a little concerned. Kind of seems desperate/ super safe 'cause what else can he do besides recycle the first album (or try to).

US iTunes 634 Lady Gaga YoΓΌ and I 705 Lady Gaga Poker Face 955 Lady Gaga The Edge of Glory 973 Lady Gaga Just Dance (feat. Colby O'Donis) 993 Lady Gaga Applause 1194 Lady Gaga Bad Romance 1307 Lady Gaga Born This Way I heard Paul Grein's Chart News got closed, so hopefully Billboard updates her sales soon. Just Dance must be extremely near or past 7 million already. Becoming the first artist ever with two 7 million-selling songs right after that Oscar's performance would be the cherry on top

Since when is "You and I" her best-selling single? Is the new Adult Gaga gearing people towards her more singer/songwriter-rock material? Has this been going on for a while? "Bad Romance" is 6th??

I know but I'm still surprised that "You And I" is currently her best selling single - I'm wondering if any post-Oscars interest for Gaga on iTunes was directed at "You And I" (and "The Edge of Glory") since they lean toward more traditional pop/rock vocals and songwriting, rather than the left-of-center dance-pop of "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance." Generally just surprised that after the dust has settled on all of her singles, that her top sellers aren't "Just Dance," "Poker Face," and "Bad Romance."

Cheek to Cheek actually got a hefty bump on iTunes post-Oscars. It was up like 50 spots.

Poker Face, Just Dance and Applause are usually her only charting songs, but it seems her Oscar's performance have helped her Hot AC-leaning songs the most.
Y&I is covered a lot on talent shows which helps too
Speaking of TEOG, TEOG would've been such a perfect comeback single right now if she hadn't already released it :'(

Yeah it is strange since it was never her strongest performing single in any capacity. Maybe people are now realizing its potential. I always thought it was one of her best vocal performances on her albums.

The Paparazzi newspaper clippings seem to be making their way around now. Gaga Daily tweeted caps of newspaper headlines that use the same phrasing as those used for the video after the fact. I assume they're real.
They also tweeted: "Reminder: The Hunting Ground featuring Lady Gagaβs song βTill It Happens To Youβ premieres Friday!"
Will we get the actual song I wonder?

I was a huge Gaga fan through TF, TFM, and even the beginning of BTW. But I started to loose interest halfway through the BTW era. Gaga had really lost me during the Artpop era but think after having a break from Gaga and being able to see a different side of her (cheek to cheek, grammy, oscar performance), I'm ready for her comeback. She just needs to avoid over-hyping her music to prevent backlash from the public. Also, I'd like to see Gaga go back to appealing everyone and not just the gays (even though I am gay, it got a little annoying).

Ever since Artpop was released and didn't actually smash the charts (but still was a moderate success) I got the notion that people prefer rockier Gaga so I'm not that surprised that You & I is currently her best-selling single. I loved it back then but haven't really listened to it in over a year. That said, I wouldn't mind an album full of You & I, Edge of Glory, Manicure etc as long as there's a fierce dance song in the vein of Marry the Night thrown somewhere in.

Just to further highlight this transformation:
A year ago she was being vomited on while riding a giant mechanical bull.

lol, Applause, DWUW, and Judas are 3 of her best!!
As for her career, things are looking good. I'm liking the new image. It's still going to be an uphill battle as those LM's grow older and move on. I don't think she'll be the #1 female of the year anymore. But she'll still see moderate success.
I wonder what would happen if she eventually changed her stage name.
