The good thing is that this is at least a little different. But if the plan is Alejandro/Speechless for 3/4th singles then I can see her streak ending, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Radio will need a breather before they wear out from her and are hit with the first single from her second/third project, the good thing to this is that Speechless will surely give her that when it's released. I still see her suffering from overexposure, soon though if she doesn't chill just a bit. After having two huge re-release hits and six #1's in a row this will likely slump a bit and Speechless will surely not smash. She'll only make it worse if she jumps straight to another single. I don't see why she can't just relax until mid or late 2011 after Speechless wraps and dies in the fall. i'm hoping "Speechless" only gets a HAC/AC limited release and they release "Monster" in it's place at Pop to leave the era off on a high note and they should only be radio singles, then she should release a new single around December of this year/Jan of next year then release her sophomore effort next April/May

Love this song but don't like the version on the album. I hope it does well.

Besides the ABBA and Ace of Base comparisons, she sounds so much like 80s Madonna on this. 'La Isla Bonita' totally comes to mind. This is gonna be absolutely massive in Europe.

Great third single. This was my second choice behind 'Monster.' I think this will be a big hit for her, top five for sure.

Please let Dance In The Dark or Teeth follow this. I've come to terms with Speechless not being a single, but I will never forgive them if they close this brilliant era with the most generic single on the album. I hate SHICD and I'd prefer it to Monster. she sounds so much like 80s Madonna on this. 'La Isla Bonita' totally comes to mind. That's so funny that you say this because I was just asking my friend a couple weeks ago if this reminded him of "La Isla" lol. On DITD when she's naming off all passed celebrities also reminds me of "Vogue". Funny cuz I mash in the chant from Vogue when I play Dance in the Dark at the club. it fits pretty well with some BPM tweaking.

I don't think this is set in stone as the next single. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point this disappears from Cool New Music I'm with this. Showing up on 'cool new music' could simply be because it's getting consistent if somewhat minimal radio airplay. Remember, Carrie Underwood and Michael Buble both showed up on 'cool new music' without an adds date or any sort of indication their songs were even gonna be pushed to the format at all. Michael seems to be catching on, but there's still no adds date for it. Carrie, of course, wasn't so lucky. I'd rather have it straight from GaGa's camp then take something like this for grant. Aside from all that, I'm team 'Monster'.

^Well that's pretty much what happened with LoveGame, it just caught on. Originally it was rumored Paparazzi was going to be after Poker Face but LoveGame was getting a lot of radio attention so they went with that...so even if it's not 'official', i think this is probably next.

When a Cool New Music song appears for a pop artist that is currently hot, chances are it's the next single. It happened with Blah Blah Blah and Today Was A Fairytale (which later went on to get an adds date), and look at them now.

Another slight hitch with the 'just catching on' theory - 'Your Love Is My Drug' and 'Rock That Body' by Kesha and the BEP respectively are also 'just catching on' and neither of those are confirmed to be follow-up singles at all. Besides, both of them still have an active single (and GaGa has two) so it's a bit too soon for another single from each of them to be taking off on radio.

Well the article for the song on Wikipedia has it confirmed as the third single. Then again, its Wikipedia and there's no apparent source (except for AllAccess Cool New Music, go figure). However, it also says that GaGa's already done a casting call for the video, and was eager for David Walliams and Lara Stone to be in it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_%28song%29

A video doesn't necessarily = next single. In most cases, generally yes. But usually I think videos are done after singles are confirmed/announced, and not before. She could be shooting a video for it with the intent of releasing the song as a single, definitely. But until we hear it from the girl herself (or her camp) that doesn't necessarily mean it's next in line after 'Telephone'.

I don't get the love for 'Monster', it's a good song but sounds so generic to me. Radio would eat it up though.
I'm just bitter about SHICD, that song puts me in such a good mood every time I hear it.

This is kind of exciting. Loved this since people thought it was called "Don't Call My Name". But all the love for monster baffles me. It's the only tack on TFM that's yet to do anything for me. :\

FThis is Lady GaGa's 'La Isla Bonita' :). Right, La Isla Bonita. Or Fernando (ABBA). Whaaat? Fernando was huge! And an awesome song! They shoulda gone with Speechless, I love that one.

I would've much rather seen her release "Dance in the Dark," "Monster," and "Speechless" before this. Boo. Assuming "Telephone" makes it to #1, I see this breaking the #1 streak and stalling in the 3-8 range.
If it's one thing we seem to agree on in this topic already, it's that we can't agree. That sure does measure the strength of an album (or EP in this case), though.

Im still not convinced that this is the new single Edit: The Wikipedia article was wrong. It has been reverted to an album track only.

I agree with most people so far: I MUCH prefer "Monster" to "Alejandro". Are DJ's across the country going to even know how to pronounce the title? I guess that's beside the point.
"Alejandro" is WAY too repetitive. It gets boring. Is radio really going to play this enough to hit the top spot? Once every hour or two? I don't think I'm going to like hearing the word "Alejandro" 100 times per day.
Oh well. I just hope it continues her string of #1 hits on pop radio. I want to say that she is THAT big enough that it will be #1 guaranteed. But it's NOT #1 quality.

^ How can you say that the song is "so repetitive"?
