I love this song. I think the only part that reminds me of Bad Romance is the "Juda-ah-ah-as" part. On a side note, my neighbor and I just got a noise complaint from management, saying that we were having a "disturbing party". We were playing "Judas" on loop. Judas snatching haters' wigs already

The fact that Billboard is even considering this for a #1 debut is amazing. I mean, think about it. This song was released today without anyone having any idea. Only GaGa could accomplish something like that... When did Billboard say something? Link?!

I bet Rihanna is going to be pissed if S&M is blocked.

The fact that Billboard is even considering this for a #1 debut is amazing. I mean, think about it. This song was released today without anyone having any idea. Only GaGa could accomplish something like that... Billboard isn't really "considering" her for a #1 debut, though. The article was posted before the song was even digitally added. Gaga is a big digital seller so it's more than obvious that they'd state that a #1 debut is obviously a possibility at this point, especially after the big debut BTW had, but I doubt they were trying to imply anything.

I get you. I think what I meant to say is that it's amazing they're even considering the potential for it to go #1. If that were any other artist, most likely Billboard wouldn't say they "could challenge Rihanna for #1" haha :)

Wow, thanks for the link! I wouldn't be surprised if Gaga does it. That song it's infectious.

..lol at no one knowing about this. Plenty of people did. This isn't another 'Till the World Ends', don't even start that. Getting the needed airplay is a possibility though. She's got a weekend. The top spot is, unfortunately, very possible.
oh, and LMFAOOOO @ the single cover being the picture they took of the ACTUAL single cover on the screen. I mean, that's just laughable.

^ I would think so too. I feel its not so much about only the 2 days factor, but the fact that theres a very love hate thing going on w/ this song. Yes, more seem to like a bit more than BTW, but I think she lost momentum from BTW and this song just isnt that universally hot and instant. Seems just the loons and some casual fans she lost may be feeling this (which is still a very big #), but I dont think its enough to sell bucketloads for a #1 debut next week. Didn't stop this song from zooming to #1 in almost the same time as the first single. The third single could do the same thing as long as the album isn't out yet. Welcome the era of the singles market. It looks like gaga is sucking a cock on the cover of the single. People were living for this song at the gym.

If anything, I want this to go #1 (eventually, not this week, I want my girls R&B to get their #1). There's no doubt in my mind that this will reach the top, whether it's next week, or the week after or a month from now, but it's classic Gaga. It's bound to go #1, and for some reason, timing always kind of benefits her. I'm confident this will top the charts.

oh, and LMFAOOOO @ the single cover being the picture they took of the ACTUAL single cover on the screen. I mean, that's just laughable. I see her getting 10M AI's - tops. And that would be A LOT. Most weekend radio programming relays on countdowns and that's going to hurt her, a lot. Also, if BTW racked up 450k with 3 days AND massive hype, plus the advantage of being a first single AND the follow-up to the monster (no pun intended) that was her debut, do you really think this is going to sell 400k with only 2 and a half days? That'd be ALMOST as much as she sold for her first single. I think it's very unlikely if you ask me. It also took her about 6 hours to get to #1. While extremely impressive, BTW did it in half the time and sold what Judas needs to sell to secure the top spot.

What do you mean by that? No one knew this was coming out today... of course not, but this was hyped as s**t. People have been looking for this for about a month, and Gaga is far more in the spotlight than, well, anyone right now. I'm just saying, keep it in perspective. This wasn't expected so early, but it doesn't matter with all the hype that was around it. I see her getting 10M AI's - tops. And that would be A LOT. Most weekend radio programming relays on countdowns and that's going to hurt her, a lot. Also, if BTW racked up 450k with 3 days AND massive hype, plus the advantage of being a first single AND the follow-up to the monster (no pun intended) that was her debut, do you really think this is going to sell 400k with only 2 and a half days? That'd be ALMOST as much as she sold for her first single. I think it's very unlikely if you ask me. several stations have committed to playing this at the top of every hour. Not only that, but 'BTW' saw the same treatment. This isn't nearly as hyped, but it's going to get a lot of attention. Sales is going to be an issue, but I wouldn't count her out just yet. I'm not saying it definitely will, but I'm also not saying it definitely won't.

Let's not forget BTW spent several weeks at #1. It's not like first week was the only chance for this.

Well I don't think it's fair to say TTWE wasn't hyped because I think it definitely was. Obviously Judas was more, but TTWE definitely had a shot a debuting high.

The "top of the hour" treatment is only given the day the song drops by major radio stations, and it only got half of today as it was sent to radios around noon. BTW started being played at around 4am the day it was released, if not earlier. She's doing fine on radio, but it isn't doing what BTW did when it was released, even if it's getting the same treatment. Almost every new track by a big artist gets that treatment, particularly from KIIS FM, it's nothing new or special.

Uh..? 'Born This Way' got it the whole weekend. And, as that single showed, stations are far more likely to whore out songs across the weekends due to the dip in listeners it always has. Oh, and payola. Again, not saying this definitely will, but it very well could. Obviously Judas was more, but TTWE definitely had a shot a debuting high. they.. really aren't comparable but okay. Either way, I'm not saying this isn't fantastic for Gaga, it's just funny how people are reaching for things to make it seem more and more amazingly fantastical. Hmm AllAccess still has this listed as going for adds on April 26 Adds dates don't always define what radio plays or when.

391 plays so far on CHR. #51 for the week-to-date.
Really surprised that it got to #1 on iTunes. I thought it would take ages as it was released out of nowhere, plus that Rihmix was pretty strong.
Only Gaga :'(
