TO BE CLEAR..I don't think the demand for this song is anywhere near as high so as to warrant a 'top of the hour, every hour' sort of deal. I could see that being the case for BTW, but if stations really do pull that again with this track, I'm gonna have to call some serious Payola. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to hear it, but I'd prefer not to be sick of this song within a week of it's debut like I was with BTW. Call payolla? No such thing. Even if the record companies could payolla, the effect would only be initial at best as radio stations play what their listeners like regardless. If getting a song played enough to hit #1 or break records than every record company would be doing it in which case pd's would still be left to pick what the listeners like the most. Gaga is coming off a much hyped #1 single that broke the records. Of course radio is going to play her new song every hour on the hour. If the album was already out, we'd see a much more gradual chart run.

I hated BTW, but for some reason I have hope that I'll like this single. Gaga's talk about the new album having rock elements and Def Leppard style melodies really has me intrigued.

That was a really enjoyable Gagavision, I'm really excited about this song. As Gaga said: "Born to Slay" (I am convinced she lurks everywhere on the Internet).

(I swear, people ignore my posts and nothing ever gets across). Payola can only get a song so far. Radio stations will ONLY play a song that won't lose their audience. A label can only afford to pay so much and I doubt they could pay more than advertisers. A station's biggest source of revenue is from advertising. If a station had to choose between payola for one song (or a group of songs) for a short period of time vs. advertising dollars, they won't risk losing listeners.

So much hate for BTW :(. Am I the only one who thinks its amazing? Fuck no, it was a monumental smash for a reason and way catchier than most people expected not that they'd admit that. @interscopepromo Interscope Promotion TO BE CLEAR @ladygaga #JUDAS will be sent to US RADIO 4/19 at 12:01am PST/3:01 AM EST via eblast (CD pro will land later that AM). @interscopepromo Interscope Promotion Radio let us know when you plan on Premiering #JUDAS on 4/19 and we will RT to all THE MONSTERS @radionow1009 RadioNOW @interscopepromo as soon as we get it, it's playing every hour, at the top of the hour.
Just wow. Seems the trend that happened with BTW worked out in stations favor if they're willing to do this, again. Fuck yeahhh. Love how her singles are like events now. TO BE CLEAR..I don't think the demand for this song is anywhere near as high so as to warrant a 'top of the hour, every hour' sort of deal. I could see that being the case for BTW, but if stations really do pull that again with this track, I'm gonna have to call some serious Payola. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to hear it, but I'd prefer not to be sick of this song within a week of it's debut like I was with BTW. Um, from those tweets it's pretty obvious that station is taking it upon themselves to do the top of the hour thing. I would hardly be surprised if a lot of stations follow suit and make it an event like last time, but so far as we know it's not like CC is 'celebrating her new single' again. (which also didn't say 'payola' the last time, might I add...)

Is anyone tired of B & GaGa competing ? I guess if GaGa wouldn't make comments referring to B. Still I love both and hate how they are put up against each other. Judas will blow up & any other single destined to blow up will continue.

That GaGa vision was incredible. It was the first one I've ever seen. She actually talked to that protester? I'm buying this record for that reason itself. I really hope I love Judas! Born This Way wasn't catchy at all....IMO.

at Kelly's Judas being catchy. If it's possible to pick a worst song on My December, it would be the one. Yeah that song kinda represents all of the negative things about that album.

Every hour on the hour AGAIN?!?!!? Wow. This will give it a shot at another #1 debut, but I almost hope it doesn't come out on top because I want to have longevity to increase her album sales and ensure that 1 mil+ first week ;)

Payola still exists. That GaGa vision was incredible. It was the first one I've ever seen. She actually talked to that protester? I'm buying this record for that reason itself. I really hope I love Judas! Born This Way wasn't catchy at all....IMO. I kind of gained a little respect for her then, and I thought she handled it very well.

I think it'll be a 9AM release like Born This Way but that's just a guess. I wonder why they haven't announced it.

A lot of stations did this with 'Till the World Ends,' and there haven't been any major releases since that and 'Born This Way' so I mean, it could very well turn into a trend come Beyoncé and (maybe) Kelly's return to radio.

Was it for a whole weekend or nearly as many stations as BTW was played on?

Anyone wish she can just do away with the facial prosthetics. It's not flattering at all on her or anyone! I mean Katy Perry is an alien in E.T. and even she doesn't have them. Here's hoping Judas the song is more instant and better than BTW. Also hope she dances better and the video is good!

I am expecting another #1 debut. +1. This should really hope album sales as well, if it has longevity. Hopefully it gives off a 'Bad Romance' vibe, because it's supposed to be classic gaga.

The beat at the beginning and end is infectious! Loved that she put in the rehearsal shot at the end as well. Way better than what was in the Born This Way video, that's for sure. I would love her forever if she printed out a bunch of those "Get out of hell free" cards and put them in all of the album booklets with Born This Way. Wow, fantastic idea. I would love that as well.
