"Paparazzi" just made the top 5 which is great but "Telephone" missed the top 5 for the same reason :(
"Bad Romance" for the win!!!

2. Poker Face
Points: 240 Average: 5.581 SD: 4.113βPoker Faceβ is the second single of The Fame , and thus, the second single of Gagaβs career. It beat out βBeautiful, Dirty, Richβ for the release, and it sure is a good thing it did. While βJust Danceβ was Gagaβs first hit, I would argue that βPoker Faceβ was the song that propelled to her the worldwide stardom and turned her into a household name. I mean, just look at all the places it hit #1, something βJust Danceβ could not accomplish. Itβs definitely her biggest hit worldwide, and the video helped Lady Gaga become a media presence. βPoker Faceβ remains one of the most iconic songs of the millennium, and this ranking proves that. And I ainβt bluffin (with mymuffin).Charts:Australia: #1 Austria: #1 Belgium (Flanders): #1 Belgium (Wallonia): #1 Canada: #1 Denmark: #1 European Hot 100 Singles: #1 Finland: #1 France: #1 Germany: #1 Hungary Dance: #1 Ireland: #1 Mexico: #1 Netherlands (Radio): #1 Netherlands (Singles): #1 New Zealand: #1 Norway: #1 Scotland: #1 Slovakia: #1 Sweden: #1 Switzerland: #1 UK Singles: #1 US Billboard Hot 100: #1 US Adult Top 40: #12 US Dance Club Songs: #1 US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #75 US Mainstream Top 40: #1 US Rhythmic: #5 1.

Points: 209 Average: 4.860 SD: 4.763βBad Romanceβ served as the lead single to The Fame Monster . As her first new song to premiere since Gaga ascended to international superstardom, there was a lot of hype surrounding this. And it clearly lived up. While it may have been blocked of the top spot on the Hot 100 by Ke$haβs βTiK ToKβ, it reached #1 in many other countries, and remains one of her biggest hits, pretty much only challenged by βJust Danceβ and βPoker Faceβ. The music video to βBad Romanceβ is definitely Gagaβs most iconic, and one of the most iconic music videos in recent memory. Even if it didnβt get #1 on the Hot 100, it winds up topping the Pulse Lady Gaga Rankdown, and I think thatβs a much better reward, donβt you? It turned out to be a pretty good romance after all.Charts:Austria: #1 Bulgaria: #1 Canada: #1 Czech Republic: #1 Denmark: #1 European Hot 100 Singles: #1 Finland: #1 France: #1 Germany: #1 Global Dance Songs: #1 Greece Digital Songs: #1 Hungary (Radio): #1 Hungary (Dance): #1 Ireland: #1 Israel: #1 Italy: #1 Norway: #1 Russia Airplay: #1 Scotland: #1 Slovakia: #1 Spain: #1 Sweden: #1 UK Singles: #1 US Billboard Hot 100: #2 US Adult Contemporary: #20 US Adult Top 40: #7 US Dance Club Songs: #1 US Dance/Mix Show Airplay: #1 US Hot Latin Songs: #15 US Mainstream Top 40: #1 US Rhythmic: #6 1. ry4n 1.

Fair top two. Still wish "The Edge of Glory" could have sneaked its way into the top three to shock all. Also, it's an absolute travesty that "YoΓΌ and I" didn't make the top ten.
All in all, the results are pretty good.

The acoustic version of Poker Face is amazing and would've been in my top 10, perhaps even top 5.

Here's the spreadsheet if anyone's interested in viewing results. For the album cuts sheet, ignore the 6s. That was necessary to not mess up the formula, but they represent blanks. Some of you added "The Cure" and "Dance in the Dark" to your album cuts list, so if your list for that doesn't match up 100%, that's why. I just removed those and moved everything else up one if that was the case for you.
Final List- 1. Bad Romance 209 2. Poker Face 240 3. Just Dance 302 4. The Edge of Glory 323 5. Paparazzi 326 6. Telephone 326 7. Do What U Want 408 8. LoveGame 535 9. Alejandro 539 10. Million Reasons 543 11. Applause 571 12. You and I 594 13. Born This Way 605 14. Marry the Night 630 15. Dance in the Dark 654 16. Perfect Illusion 730 17. Judas 738 18. G.U.Y. 739 19. Hair 788 20. Venus 815 21. A-Yo 828 22. Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) 830 23. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich 864 24. Til It Happens to You 995 25. Chillin' 1029 26. Dope 1062 27. The Lady Is a Tramp 1067 28. 3-Way (The Golden Rule) 1093 29. Christmas Tree 1119 30. Anything Goes 1140 31. Vanity 1147 32. Winter Wonderland 1153 33. I Can't Give You Anything but Love 1181
Album Tracks- 1. Monster 30 2. Scheisse 23 3. Gypsy 18 4. Aura 18 5. John Wayne 17 6. MANiCURE 15 7. So Happy I Could Die 14 8. Heavy Metal Lover 12 9. Bloody Mary 11 10. I Like It Rough 10
Some last minute facts: -Juanca matched up his Top 4 perfectly. -nick64 was the only one to get all five of his album cut picks in the final results (I swear, I didn't cheat ;) ) -"Bad Romance" was a monster #1 throughout the entire submission process. It actually had an 80 point lead over "Poker Face" at one point, but the last dozen submissions or so did wonders for "Poker Face" and hurt "Bad Romance". -#3-6 were fluctuating constantly. "Just Dance" pulled ahead a bit at the end, but all four of those songs held each of those positions throughout the rankdown process.
And just want to say a big thank you to everyone for making this one of the biggest rankdowns ever on Pulse, as well as putting up with my multiple distractions (and horribly cringe-worthy puns that I felt were necessary for the process). I've had a lot of fun with this, and I'll be doing Selena Gomez for my next rankdown :)

All in all, the results are pretty good. Those are literally the only 2 GaGa songs I hate lol. I dislike others, but those are definitely my two least favs from her. I did want "Just Dance" to win but "Bad Romance" has a fantastic melody so I'm not upset about it either. I always forget just how much I like it until I listen to it.

Thank you Nick! That was amazing and I'm pleased with the result as well!
I hope you'll include some album tracks from 'Revival' on the SG Rankdown. Her singles discography isn't THAT big to just stick to the singles and 'Revival' has some of her best songs ever.

Glad to see the Top 3 was what I predicted (which I felt was obvious from the start) aside from the order, because I wanted PF to win, but BR works too. This rankdown was awesome! Thanks for hosting, namesake!

Expected Top 3. Personally, it was either "Poker Face" or "Bad Romance" to win for me and I'm glad any of them did it.
Also, I echo the same that it was a great rankdown. Thanks Nick for hosting this! :)

Thanks nick for a great rankdown! Good for stealing tips when I get around to doing mine haha (don't forget to submit!)

Some comments I missed: -BTW went from iconic to tolerable to eh to iconic again for me. Her performance at the SB sort of put it back on track to iconicness for me. -Y&I: shoutout should also go to under appreciated Idol queen Haley Reinhart, who performed the song as a contestant before the album was out, after getting clearance from Gaga -and doing a great job! - Alejandro: it was a jam, and I seriously believe her not reaching its maximum potential in radio was due to the alienating video that diverted attention. People were expecting breezy fun and received homo/bisexual orgy with a rosary-eating nun - surprised at Lovegame's rank... I like it but still feels not as strong as other songs. - overall ecstatic with the results I also went back and forth with my 4-6 ranking. Paparazzi is great but that bridge keeps sounding like a Gwen reject up until now, so I had to rank others higher - Bad Romance is so iconic! One of the best songs ever for me. Period. I'd say it's one of those moments I history like with Baby one more time or Like a prayer, when music quality, lyrics, vocal performance, visuals create a perfect combination. Deserved number one!!

Add me to the "Alejandro's video is a mess" list. Love the song but that video is when things started to go south between me and Lady Gaga, and while I still appreciate her, nothing will match my love for The Fame / The Fame Monster.
Bad Romance missing #1 will be one of those shocking things you read about in 10 years or so and think "How did Ke$ha block this one??"
LoveGame was a fave back then but it hasn't aged well. Being sandwhiched between monstruous hit Poker Face and the Paparazzi video didn't help it.

Yeah the "Alejandro" video made no sense for the song, which upset me even more than it should since it's my 2nd-favorite Gaga song. That was definitely the start of the downward turn for her music videos imo. Everything pre-"Alejandro" was excellent music videos, but then she started trying to be too out there and weird and decided almost every video had to be like 10 minutes long. I've only liked about 1/2 of her videos since "Telephone."
