@honey Tik Tok was obviously more popular than Bad Romance at the time. And IMO right now E.T. is more popular, otherwise it wouldn't be selling twice as much. S&M is ahead on both airplay/sales now though, so I think it would deserve it this week. I'm particularly speaking about the last 3 weeks pf "Empire State of Mind" which was #1 for too long due to its ridiculous airplay. Even after the song was posting major decreases it was #1 due to it's large airplay that "Bad Romance" couldn't combat. It's a shame "Bad Romance" couldn't get even ONE week at #1 as SO MANY other #1's have done so the past few years under much easier circumstances. I feel that "Bad Romance" is the most snubbed song in recent memory not to be a "#1 song" and it's a shame. |

^F**k you.
And I mean the song. 460 or so chart points...#1 on any week. EXCEPT on that one week, because of Gaga blocking with 90ai and 490 sales :(

Blaming this one and that one for a song that wasn't popular enough to get #1 is silly. You either have the points or you dont. |

Again Rihanna do this? Rihanna and IDJ hit always the right time... they smell when is the right time to do their tricks... they chose the time of peak of airplay and -they dicrease the price of the song (like OG), or -they release a remix as the last opportunity of getting another maybe 70-80.000 digital sales What could they think after??? its guna get a lot more than an extra 80k sales |

Well it probably wouldn't be #1 for 3-4 weeks  Otherwise the original wouldn't have plummeted. /flawedreasoning |

BR was bigger hit online since it was getting a lot of attention on the internet and it was discussed and mentioned more than ESOM and that's why it seems to you it was bigger hit. But, BH100 formula is very simple and ESOM was more popular in terms of airplay and sales while BR had more buzz and reactions. However, I agree BR should've been #1 for at least 1 week. Her best track, good song and it was huge. |

If Vevo streaming had been included when Bad Romance was released (it wasn't then, but now is) I have a feeling it would've hit #1.
It's also amazing to realize Poker Face BARELY hit #1 for one week, despite the fact that it spent 9 additional weeks at #2.

Seriously, if I was Gaga I would have paid newcomer Ke$ha's label to withhold Tik Tok on itunes for one week if she really wanted that #1. If Ke$ha did it during album week it would only drive up first-week album sales anyway.

ESOM was popular with all of the demographics young and old pop or urban or adult...can't say the same for BR. FTR.... I think BR is an infinitely better song than ESOM. |

ET very well could have been #1 for 3/4 weeks without Kanye West. What if she performed it on AI? An awards show? A mass commercial? |

Long gone are the days when the Beatles and the Rolling Stones would purposely schedule their single releases on different weeks just so they were never in direct competition with each other.
Of course that was only in England.

ESOM was popular with all of the demographics young and old pop or urban or adult...can't say the same for BR. FTR.... I think BR is an infinitely better song than ESOM. Yeah. What I'm trying to relate is the feeling that's not unique to me-- that once a huge hit is wanning ala "Empire State of Mind" it's annoying that it's still sitting at the top spot well after it's time. It's sales have decreased, it's lots its bullet weeks ago. Meanwhile it's airplay is so OOC and well after its popularity has decreased when a newer song and arguably a "more popular" song is stuck behind it. The last 2 weeks of ESOM should have been BR and the fact that it wasn't still leaves a lot of people irritated that YET ANOTHER huge R&B crossover smash blocked a better pop song from being #1 because it didn't have POP, RHY, URB and UAC all playing the song. It's the age old bitterness  Like when Mariah's "We Belong Together" wouldn't go away and was just OOC. What week could "Pon De Replay" have been #1? And WBT even hogged the top spot from "Shake It Off" The airplay for WBT was a little much... I would like to see Billboard count sales even more on their next transition but that's another thing. Radio and video should be the marginal factor AS IT HAS BEEN lately, versus radio. It's funny to being a Mariah fan. It changed my perspective seeing "We Belong Together" hog the top spot just because of radio while other fan bases were eager, hungry for their artist to get a #1. It's like: we know it's a hit already. I can only imagine how sh*tty Katy fans would be if Gaga was still sitting at #1... they'd be right where the Rihanna fans are. Lighting that incense praying S&M goes #1 next week. |

And to think the same may happen with Judas Calling it now, Judas: Lady GaGa fea. Madonna... LOLLLLLLLLLL. Well if Judas gets blocked it deserves it. "Born This Way" is HARDLY a #1 song. 6 weeks my God. Good for her, but good Lord *bought the single on iTunes* whyyyy oh WHYYyyyyy i'm guilty |

The most snubbed #2 song to never make it to #1 is definitely "Waiting for A Girl Like You" by Foreigner, which was in the #2 position for 10 weeks way back in 1981-1982, waiting for #1 but always being held back by one song or another from the top position. What happened with BR doesn't even come close to that. |

I think Missy's Work It comes in next, being held off by Lose Yourself. If one were to compile a list of the top 5 songs who got stuck @ #2 I would include: 1. One of the Creedence Clearwater singles (probably Proud Mary or Bad Moon Rising). 2. Waiting for a Girl like You 3. The Donna Lewis song 4. Work It 5. Bad Romance |
