I hear no similarities between "Bad Romance" and "Not Myself Tonight. If anything GaGa and XTina seemed to be going for a similar sound with "Keeps Getting Better". I remember after the VMA's when XTina performed it comparisons being made and XTina not knowing what "a GaGa" was.

About right.
Shocked though so many ballads have missed the top 20.

I remember after the VMA's when XTina performed it comparisons being made and XTina not knowing what "a GaGa" was. Both KGB and Genie 2.0 which had more of an 80s new wave electro pop sound. PLUS her long blonde wig added to the whole Gaga copycat and subsequent mess that then affected the performance of NMT, as she yet again went the dance pop route where Gaga was queen...

I agree with you and basically said the same thing. (VMA performance etc). However I still don't think XTina knew much about GaGa when she released this and had probably already wanted to sing electronic type of music before GaGa hit. XTina moves slowly so she had probably already had this planned out and then Gaga hit it huge right at the same time and it seemed like Xtina may be jacking her. I am assuming all this obviously. lol.

Bionic was done April 2009 but waited a year to release it in order to complete Burlesque. She added NMT AND WooHoo later in Jan the next year.

I knew there was a dot more to the story and back in the day when I said IF anything GaGa copied XTina when stuff like this came up, people thought I was crazy. Thank you. BTW I'm not saying either copied the other but if you look at the time lines of things...

It was an awful time to be an Xtina fan because we knew she wasn't copying. The media was ripping her to shreds. Since then she has said very little about upcoming projects.

How tf is my 55 still in? I had thought it would be either early-boot fodder or somewhere in the middle. It was out early in another rankdown, so...like, what the fuck.

This did get higher than I was expecting but I'm not mad at it. There aren't many songs left that will really disappoint me with their placement. Exclusive can I suggest you do the list of remaining songs in the spoiler tag like in other rankdowns please?

I don't know what song you're talking about but you can't compare how it did in another rankdown with how its going to do in this one. This is an artist-centric one and you'd expect songs to rank differently amongst the artist's own discography in comparison to how they rank against songs by other artists altogether.

Even so, I didn't think people liked it much.

You don't have to. I didn't realize you were doing this on mobile. I can imagine that's a lot of work so definitely save yourself the trouble. :)

This song is a chore to listen to. Not cuz it's boring or anything, but because the structure of the song makes it almost impossible to enjoy.

Queen blessed these newbies with a multi-platinum single and a Grammy. She's so damn generous!
