Considering Gaga inspired Katy's latest video, I can't wait to hear this and it will debut at #1.

Now that I actually started liking Born this Way, I'm officially excited for this. I hope my full love for Gaga can come back with this song, since I've had mixed feelings about her recently. I assume your're referring to those Alexander McQueen facial prosthetics. At first I thought they were a little interesting, but they are just sooo creepy now. Especially in that black and white picture rumored to be the album cover with her looking straight at the camera. I hope that picture of her wearing that jacket that said "Born This Way" on it ends up being the cover. I hope they use the jacket picture too, those face things scare the living daylights out of me. Like in the BTW video where she's supposed to look like Madonna... SO CREEPY. That part freaked me out too for a couple of seconds. With repeated viewings, the shock wore off. The tooth gap was just sooo freaky.

To me, its more than black and white. More like the overall feel of all the shoots lately. Maybe it is just because we have been getting a lot of shots of that same basic shoot for quite some time now so it feels more of the same when it really isn't.
I actually don't mind the facial and shoulder implants. I barely notice them most of the time, actually.

^Not really. This project is heavily guarded. Her label is doing everything to make sure it does not get out.

It would be a disaster if it leaked with the hype it has going on right now. The label would obviously do anything to make sure it doesn't leak, otherwise it could seriously hurt it and make some of the hype not worth it.

I think it's unlikely; I mean we haven't even got snippets. Just goes to show that with effort, you can keep stuff under wraps.

I'm not sure about this debuting at #1, especially if radio starts playing it early.

I'm not sure about this debuting at #1, especially if radio starts playing it early. The song premieres at 3am, and it goes to iTunes at 9. Luckily, that won't be a problem. I would be really surprised if it didn't, it has so much hype and anticipation, radio will instantly play the hell out of it, it'll go to #1 on iTunes within hours, etc. This (probably) will be much more public-friendly than Born This Way was, I expect it to have sales of about 700K tbh.

Not sure where this hype and anticipation is coming from. I didn't even know it was being released in two weeks until I read this forum. I guess the perception is there.

The data was only announced like two days ago. It certainly feels massively hyped to me, Gaga has been hinting towards it in Twitter for so long, so many reviews, particularly the Pop Justice one, have come out recently, it's a Gaga song, and she's spilled out so many details such as the RedOne production, video stuff etc that make it sound amazing. Maybe it's just me?

I don't understand where this ~enormous~ hype is coming from either but I'm not a huge GaGa fan so that may be the difference? I'm sure her...fans are hyped?

Obviously some radio stations are hyped since they're already planning on playing it every hour.
Also, I remember in an interview GaGa had said money can buy just about anything including good security. I wouldn't be surprised if she's paying some good money to keep this from leaking.

It's only hyped thru fansites and message boards and the like. It's not like you go into Target and there are banners posted in the underwear aisle that say "Judas April 19th to radio and iTunes" lol

It's not like you go into Target and there are banners posted in the underwear aisle that say "Judas April 19th to radio and iTunes" lol True but there is still major hype behind Gaga and this album/campaign, thus hype for the second single. Good buzz helps too.

I'm willing to bet radio stations are hyping it as well. Maybe not through ads and stuff but with DJs occasionally mentioning it between song sets or whatever. "And make sure you tune in on April 19th to hear the PREMIERE of Judas!!" and so on.

Well, and with radio premieres, stations may no start hyping it up until the week before.

This will not sell 700k... You really think all Gaga songs from now on will open with first week sales of 700-1000k?...

No. Only ones that are promoted and released preceding an album.

I haven't heard any hype for this on mainstream radio or tv myself. Had no idea it was coming out until I read this thread. I really haven't heard anything about Gaga since the egg thing.

I don't think it's that hyped either. I think BTW was EXTREMELY hyped, and the album itself has hype, but this song isn't really. I just REALLY want it to be better than BTW. I STILL don't like that song.

I am hoping this one is better too (and let's hope there is no Like A Prayer rip-off within lol)

I don't really think 700k is unreasonable if the song is good.

This will probably do pretty good, but I think 700k is a stretch. 500k maybe... either way, the numbers will be unrealistically high in comparison to any other artist. Good on her.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this didn't leak early, honestly. Something's telling me we'll at least hear a snippet before it's out though.

Let's see. BTW did almost 1 million in 7.5 days, so 5.5 days would be around 750k. Subtract some of its hype and the Grammys performance... Yeah, I'm thinking around 450-500k. Born This Way really outdid my expectations, so anything could happen.
