At this point, I just want this to go platinum. Even if this underperformed, it still managed to go Top 10 in most countries... so at least it looks good on paper.

So, this is just considered a buzz single now? No, it wasn't a buzz single. It was a full fledged second single that spiraled out of control into flop land just as the amazing video was being released. Unprecedented but it shan't be too detrimental for the next single(s). Maybe unprecedented in regards to the video connection, but like the possibility I threw out in the BTW thread, Lady Gaga's second go-around is identical to Alanis Morissette's: Chart runs: Thank U- 22,10,8,5,2,2,2,1,3,4,7,11,22,31,39,46 Unsent- 32,22,21,19,17,16,24,37 In my mind at least, the only difference is that Alanis's two singles were much better songs. Alanis's third single "So Pure" peaked at only #33, which I'm pretty sure Lady GaGa will beat with her third single. First week CD sales were discussed who knows how many pages ago, but the fact that the first two singles didn't have a very positive response by the general public surely will significantly reduce first week sales, wouldn't it? Even if this is Lady GaGa we are talking about, would a casual music listener really jump right in and purchase the CD right after it comes out solely on the hopes that they will like the rest of the CD better than the first two singles? That seems counter-intuitive to me. So it seems to me that expectations for first week sales must have decreased significantly.

I feel like too much has changed to compare her to a situation in 1998. Alanis, while she was arguably the most popular artist to emerge in the mid-90s, wasn't in the same situation as GaGa is in. She had 2 years of downtime before returning with a soundtrack single. Although, I guess her second album was viewed as being more experimental, the way GaGa's may be, I feel like the situations don't match closely enough. We have digital to take into account, plus other forms of multi-media in terms of promotion.
I feel like today's singers can ease into having multiple hits easier than back then. If there's a flop album or single (Kelly Clarkson), they just go away and come back a year later. There's rarely a break between eras for today's pop singers (compared to the 90s where 2-4 years was a norm) and albums and artists shoot out singles right and left rather than follow a traditional standard one single ever 3-5 months routine. If GaGa flops with this album, she'll probably make appearances on other's songs and still rack up numbers for her hit song tally.
Hmmm... although at this point, maybe it is an apt comparison and I'm just rambling. SFIJ (Alanis' second record) still sold considerably well considering it was viewed as being a pretty big sophomore slump (3x Platinum compared to JLP's 16x Platinum). I'm sure it's almost a given that BTW is sure to sell at least 2 million (about half of The Fame/Monster?).
I guess a lot is riding on how well the third single does if it's fair to compare the GaGa situation to Alanis.
As an aside, Alanis has been in my Top 3 favourite singers since JLP (Although she has slipped in recent years, I still love me some Alanis discography!)

Well at least this managed a #10 placement on the Hot100.
You see, I have this little pet project of mine that I want for GaGa to manage to place a single/track on each position of the top ten.
So far she has managed the #'s 1,2,3,5,6,10.
You guys realize that is very, very hard to place a single in the #10 position. On any given year there are just like 3-5 songs who manage to do that.
Lol

I'm surprised that, given all of the hype and buzz preceding this era, her second single is performing so pitifully.
It's not so surprising, though, because this song just had too much working against it. I still think it sounds like a b-side. The poorly-produced, buried vocals make it sound almost demo-ish. Then the whole theme is overly gimmicky and came off as an inauthentic calculated attempt at controversy. It just all seemed... off.
That said, the video is one of her best efforts and the impact of the single is greater than chart statistics will show. This isn't just a throwaway, forgettable flop. I just hope they make wiser decisions going forward so as not to waste any more of the momentum.

^ I concur with the sentiment that Judas' vocals sound demo-ish.
Honestly, the song is good, but once I heard it and jammed to it (one time) the Friday it debuted, I didn't give it a second thought.
EOG on the other hand, I have been playing it constantly since I first heard it. It gives me goosebumps the same way Teenage Dream gave to me.

I think the Alanis comparison is hard to make. When Jagged Little Pill came out, Alternative was still pretty huge and female-friendly. "You Oughta Know" was a multi-format smash that launched a career. By 1998, Pop and Alternative had diverged. Alternative was starting to get more aggressive and Pop was jumping into boy-bands. Couple that with a long time off and a mellower, more experimental album, and you get a flop.
Gaga doesn't have any of that against her. Gaga hasn't been out of the spotlight at all since she debuted. While her album may end up being more experimental, it's still going to be electro-pop, and electro-pop is still huge. Everything she's put out so far has been very accessible musically (even if the lyrics are more controversial). She's really just one smash hit away from another huge era.

And I'm disappointed in this song's performance. Judas just really hit with me this week- it took a while to grow. I could see a comeback if just a few stations stick with it and start to get good callout. The rest of the panel would follow easily.

'Judas' has 596 spins for the day so far (almost done). It had 644 yesterday and 807 the day before. 'The Edge of Glory' has 140 spins for the day so far.

If this song was about ANYTHING else, it would've smashed. I'm talking same melody, beat, everything, except change the lyrics and meaning of the song.
Just look at the comments under the MV on youtube to see that people just couldn't accept the lyrical content.
People are mad because Jesus is latino in the video? wtf.

Always thought this was weak as hell, so I'm glad this is done.
Bye Judas! Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I don't know, but most of the comments under the video are just ridiculous. People are saying the most outlandish things about this song. Hopefully, she learned a valuable lesson with Judas. Don't make the general population think more than they have to.

I think the lesson here should be that the general populace can have a song that shoves gays down their throats * and still manage to shit on every other song for 6 consecutive weeks (and sell close to 1 million copies on it's first 10 days), or have a former female abuser (Chris Brown) debut @ #1, etc, etc, etc, etc,....
but you NEVER, NEVER, EVER touch their Jesus (or his Saints) or else.
Specially if you dare to hint that they were of any other ethnicity besides white.
*Bear in mind that I don't mean anything homophobic by this phrase (and I'm gay myself)

No1curr about youtube comments. Scum of the internet comment posters.
I don't think the subject matter affected the song's run nearly as much as people are trying to make it out as.
