This will not sell 700k... You really think all Gaga songs from now on will open with first week sales of 700-1000k?... How can you make a judgement like that without even hearing it first?

Born This Way sold 1 million because she hyped it for half a year, then she had the grammy performance. Judas on the other hand, has hardly been hyped, meaning it will be a bit more like a regular song. by "bit more like a regular song" I mean instead of 1,000,000 first week sales, I think it'll get something inbetween, like 400k.

I agree, I think this will fall in the 600-700k first week range. Once this drops, hype or not, it will spread like wildfire. People have been so ready for new GaGa, and a lot of people will buy it instantly when it comes out. BTW was over hyped also.

Since PopJustice is comparing this to Bad Romance, it will probably smash and stick around at least until the album release.

'Judas' isn't as hyped as 'Born This Way'. Fact.
That said, it'll still sell well. After release it'll have a week to gets it's name out there. That's all it really needs.

9 days until this premieres...
And is it a coincidence that she is debuting it during Holy Week? LOL

It'll be big but the debut won't be BTW-esque. I literally have never seen a single w/ the hype BTW had.

I think if the song is good it can do as well as BTW. Let's be honest BTW is not her best work and turned off some concervative fans, so this could do well if it is less controversial (well, i guess with the name Judas that won't happen)

If those "conservative" fans were taken back by Born This Way they sure as hell won't like "Judas" to begin with.

I don't know how many "conservative" fans she had to begin with, considering videos like Alejandro and songs like LoveGame.

Nobody knows what kind of promotion GaGa has in store for Judas so who truly knows what her digital sales will be first week out. Born This Way was everywhere fast and if the song is GaGa retreading her previous smashes, it will definitely boost sales. Despite what many think, Born This Way did gain a good amount of new fans.

Homages to Madonna are getting pretty old. Madonna was not the first artist to incorporate religious elements into her music, videos, concerts, etc. She did do it a few times and then there was a ton of controversy. But controversy can only help sell so many records. Sure, it may generate additional interest and curiosity, but I just cannot see throngs of people rushing to iTunes to buy her song because she is being controversial in some respect. To a certain degree, so much controversy constantly surrounding any artist could lead to gross overexposure and a possible backlash. I was concerned about that happening with Gaga some time ago, but I was relieved that no more singles and videos were released from The Fame Monster, allowing for a proper buffer, at least in the mainstream. Even though "Born This Way" came and arrived with such a bang and was seemingly all over the radio, blogs, websites, and then the Grammy performance, then the video release, I feel like Gaga's profile is really low right now, like she has gone under the radar. And that is a good thing because then when "Judas" hits radio, some time would have passed and that buffer would keep it from feeling like it's just too much Gaga. So it does make sense that there was this sort of a 'delay' between "Born This Way" and "Judas." I was worried that the buzz from "Born This Way"--the song would have worn off and then the album would have face an uphill battle when it is released. 9 days until this premieres... And is it a coincidence that she is debuting it during Holy Week? LOL It may have just worked out that way. It's not possible to perfectly plan out all of the single and video releases, promo appearances, etc. right down to a T because all sorts of unexpected things could occur and if they have planned everything so tightly, they won't be able to take the appropriate corrective action. They do probably plan it all out ahead of time and it just happens to happen during that week. I would think that they were trying too hard to generate a 'controversy' if they intentionally set it up to come out during that week. There will always be some sort of religious event for some religion at some time and they just have to choose the date(s) based on what would work for their strategy.

there is nothing wrong with Lady Gaga being controversial with religion. Just because Madonna did so doesn't mean she is copying. It just means it means something to her. Now if she's dancing in front of burning crosses in the video, that's a different story, but I feel these issues need to be addressed...in the post Madonna-world. I'm not religious by any means, but it's still exciting. I love deep s**t like this. That's what made Madonna so popular. She wasn't just a "have sex in the club" type of artist. Neither is Gaga.

^agreed. Nothing is original anymore. I would rather her make music that gets people talking like Madonna did than just releasing ROM hits.

man i wish we were living in Madonna's world when she just came out, with message boards and iTunes and such. It would be so exciting! Gaga is truly the closest thing.
