Yeah BTW is definitely another oddball. I think the production and theme tie it a bit more closely to the vibe of the rest of the cd, but it still feels slightly out of place. I usually tend to skip Judas and sometimes BTW (and none of the other tracks). I do listen to Judas and BTW on their own though (like, if they randomly come up on my Ipod).

EXACTLY lol I skip 3 songs: Judas, BTW, and Highway Unicorn. The first two because I listen to them enough on shuffle. The last one because... I can't stand it.

I skip Born This Way typically. I think it's an incredible song but I've burnt out on it for the most part. Only in certain contexts. I hope I can reach a point where it feels at home with the rest of the album though... as of now, it stands out too much.
And I skip Judas because I got sick of it quickly but it doesn't not feel at home with the rest. I think some time away from it will help it sink back in.
Those are all I skip if I have time to listen to the rest. Otherwise, I go to Hair, Scheisse and You And I.

See this is fucking gold for me. I can't believe how many times I've listened to it. Mess.

I really wish that they would've saved this as the fourth or fifth single. I feel like Scheiße, though equally risky would've prevailed as the second single.

I still hope she releases Scheiße in North America.... but if she doesn't I wish she would have released it instead of Judas. I think she's gonna take some more risks this era (so I still have hope of a Scheiße release). I just hope that if she releases another "risky" single, it's something like "Scheiße" and not "Bloody Mary"... which is a fantastic song, but leave the religious metaphors out of the single release. She tried it once and it didn't work. Try it again on the next album.... I need to hear Scheiße on the radio! It's a risk worth taking!

I concur with the sentiment that Judas is a track that feels out of place on this album, and would fit perfectly on the TFM EP.
On the other hand, BTW fits perfectly on this album.... it's just that one has heard it so much, one basically skips over it, to go to the other new tracks on the album....
.... and in BTW Garibay>>>>>>> RedOne.....
There I said it.

Scheibe could honestly work, but I think most stations would want an edit that cut out at least the German/Gibberish at the beginning.

Maybe I am not giving radio enough credit, but I cannot imagine them playing the hell out of a song that has that much foreign language-the only other cases I can think of where that has worked has been latin-inspired tracks that still didn't have as much or weren't massive hits. I do agree though-it is very catchy and maybe they should take a chance on it.

"Bloody Mary" is one of my favorite song of the album (I can't explain how much I love this song) but I don't think It would work as a single. IMO Scheiße could be another hit, is an amazing song and also safe compare to the others song of the album.

^Agreed. Cut it down but don't lose it, it totally makes the song. And as much as I LOVE Scheibe, I don't know if the chorus is hooky enough for radio.
I get what people are saying about Judas not fitting in. Kind of like Gaga wanting to recreate Bad Romance but with the religious references to make it more BTW than TFM.

Billboard has already responded to those Britney stans, and they've basically said that they're not reconsidering.

If the song has 101.1 spins a day (708 divided by 7) and is losing 74 of them, how is that better? The song is only getting played 27 times a day ... it is still losing 70% of its spins vs. the same day last week.

Yesterday it lost 13% of its spins and 9% of its audience, while the day before that it lost 21% and 16%, and the day before that it lost 25% and 22%. It's marginal, but it is getting a little better.

I think it'll get purged this week, it's going down fast. It's a shame it did that bad, it was miles better than 'Born This Way'.

SUNDAY 5/29 MORNING UPDATE
33 51 LADY GAGA Judas 532 1596 -1064 – 100 Spins + 260 Bullet
:(.
I'll continue to update here for as long as I can. I complied this with my Real-Time source which seems to be accurate enough to go by, but that probably will not work once it goes recurrent, so from there on I'll have to post the following day. I am not giving up on this though.

I can't believe that radio dropped this like a hot potato. It's such a great song. My fave on the album. But too many people get easily offended, I guess. It's getting some help this weekend from AT40 and Rick Dees.
