Lady GaGa’s ‘Born This Way’ Dominates iTunes

Published: Friday 11th Feb 2011 by Trent

Lady GaGa’s ‘Born This Way’ was only released this morning but the song is already a hit. Read all the details about the track’s early success below:

Despite almost unanimous claims that the record bares a striking similarity to Madonna’s ‘Express Yourself’, ‘Born…’ has managed to climb to the #1 spot on the iTunes sales chart in less than 4 hours.

However, it remains to be seen if ‘Born…’ will manage to outperform GaGa’s fellow Pop megastar Britney Spears’ ‘Hold It Against Me’ which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January by selling 411k downloads in its 1st week.

Still, regardless of whoever claims the top honors, there is another female artist with cards left to play…

Thoughts?

    * WHEN THE VIDEOS…

  13. tumay February 11, 2011

    Beyonce is gonna snatch Gaga’s wig and this travesty BTW is like HIAM part 2, those songs break iTunes records all the time (as if it were so important), cos their stans buy like 50 copies (BADD probably bought 200 copies of it), it will have the same fate as HAIM, huge debut and it will fall back, only the QUEEN Beyonce can have long lasting hits!

  14. Badd February 11, 2011

    Well Trent I’m here to put all you hate to rest.
    You’ve done enough on Twitter.

    She’s broken all of Britney’s last records for HIAM.
    HIAM 612 spins in 24 hours.
    BTW 1500+ spins in 12-13 house NEW RECORD
    she has more than doubled HIAM’s

    Mine – 5 Hours to #1 on iTunes
    BTW – 3 hours to #1 on iTunes
    Fastest rise to #1 is US

    Fastest rise to #1 in UK

    First artist to have a single top the iTunes charts in 20 countries.
    there are only 23 itunes countries.

    BTW in only 14 hours is ahead of Alejandro in sales
    which means she has already passed Britney..

    There is no need to have the Britney vs. Gaga stan war.
    but ppl like this start one.

  15. hello b****** February 11, 2011

    ALL I CARE ABOUT NOW IS NEW MUSIC FROM CHRISTINA, BRITNEY AND BEYONCE

    THIS FLOP W**** CAN GO TO HELL

    IM ONE GAY SHE WILL NEVER MAKE MONEY FROM

  16. MJSTAN February 11, 2011

    the song is a huge disappointment especially being a song by gaga,its extremely underwhelming she has and can do much better. Its an insult to gays all over the world,u promise them an anthem bigger than I will survive and u give them a cheap knockoff of an already existing song. SMH.
    On the floor and HIAM> Born this Way
    here’s hoping JUdas wont let me down

    PS- I AM VERY PYSCHED UP FOR HONEY BEE’S RETURN,DONT LET ME DOWN LIKE MAMA MONSTER DID BEY

  17. queenbeyonce10 February 11, 2011

    Lady Gaga Born This Way is a fast version of Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful & exact copy of Madonna’s Express

    Love You Lady Gaga. xoxo

  22. Fagulous February 11, 2011

    She’s not even gay. Stupid little h**.go live off of some other group of fabulous ppl.its so sad all these artists are living off of us gays. They stole our lingo, our passion for fashion n now they are doing these overused gay empowerment anthems. But the b**** isn’t even gay. Smh

  23. the kiddz February 11, 2011

    Both Britney and Gaga have been a let down. I’m waiting for Round IV.

  24. WWW.TWITTER.COM/SEAN_IZ_LEGEND February 11, 2011

    Previous record for most radioplay in one day; Britney – HIAM – 619 spins. NEW record; *Lady Gaga – Born This Way = 1,500+ spins..

    GAGA HAS CRUSHED BRITNEY. LOL

  25. Stoney-Brie February 11, 2011

  31. Badd February 11, 2011

    Its sad that we come down to what sounds better.
    not what really is better or has the better message.
    Ppl say that HIAM sounds better….
    rather than looking at the meaning out both songs & the lyrics.
    BTW is actually talking about something real…& is an athem.
    HIAM is just talking about the same stuff we’ve been
    hearing for the past year.
    S** S** S**.

  32. dboy February 11, 2011

    i put my beyonce songs on replay today to remind myself what music in this decade could sound like, i hear late april/early may is a tentative release date for queen bey’s new single… bey music industry needs u. i dont care for itunes records. it turned out to be an embarrassment for brit when it plummeted the following week

    p.s CHECK ON IT reached number 1 without promo and stayed there for 5 consecutive weeks

  33. Badd February 11, 2011

    Born This Way is expect to sell 500K via Billboard.

  34. Rihgoat taught me how to deep-throat a banana February 11, 2011

    Beyonce is so f***** BAD in that gif

    Congrats to Gaga but i still think that song is crap

  35. jeremydante February 11, 2011

    i know that’s right. when beyonce’s s*** drops, it’s OOOVA!

  36. dboy February 11, 2011

    SINGLE LADIES WAS RELEVANT 2 YEARS AFTER THE TRACK RELEASE DATE IN 2008

    Itunes IS JUST A VIRTUAL SUCCESS.REAL SUCCESS IS WHEN PEOPLE DANCE ON YOUR TRACK AND ENJOY IT

  39. MJSTAN February 11, 2011

    @BADD OH F*** OFF, BTW HAS MEANING YES, BUT ITS NOT THE FIRST “BE CONFIDENT WITH WHO U ARE SONG” , THERE A MANY MORE SONGS WITH BETTER MEANINGS. EVEN KATY PERRYS FIREWORK, OR PINKS RAISE UR GLASSES ARE MORE INSPIRATIONAL. THE LYRICS SUCK AND THE BEAT IS WHACK . ANYONE CAN WRITE THOSE LYRICS EVEN BEYONCE CAN

  41. AuntieJackie February 11, 2011

    Britney and Gaga are doing well, but damn the hype on these f****** songs are ridiculous. They aren’t THAT good. We’ll see what Bey has in store for this year…but I have a feeling she’s going to creep up on both of them. Love that they are all going to do well this year. I want to see a joint concert between all of them. I. Would. DIE.

  42. dboy February 11, 2011

    @badd

    it’s kinda convenient for a gaga stan to condemn sexual lyrics in songs now isnt it?

    remind again what these songs were about:

    poker face
    bad romance
    lovegame

  43. gusgus February 11, 2011

    I think they should have released both songs together and then really see who is the top b****…

  44. JohnVidal February 11, 2011

    Now it´s absolutely clear nowadays is so easy to climb to the #1 on billboard hot 100 on the debut week. I suppose Born this Way is going to make it too. Obviously Gaga deserves it more than Britney Kesha Rihanna and all that s*** but come on. I really don´t like the state of music industry nowadays. The song is a little dissapointment to say the least but still can do it. itunes has ruined the quality on the charts even more.
    And to the people saying Britney or JLo are better… please Gaga makes her music and the other two can´t sing and can´t songwrite or produce. This song is not what expected but Gaga is a better artist whether you like it or not!

  45. tumay February 11, 2011

    The fact that BTW is such a hit proves how much desperate her stans are for her to break records, this song wont last on top, this is no “Grenade” for all I care.

  46. KAT DELUNA FAN February 11, 2011

    @GUSGUS
    ..who cares?Both songs are whack

    Perez Hilton is paid to promote Gaga or what? SMH

  47. MJSTAN February 11, 2011

    WATCH THIS SONG CLIMB TO NOS 1 AND THEN FALL SOON AFTER, AND THEN WATCH GRENADE GO BACK TO THE TOP.YEH THATS RIGHT REAL SONGS HAVE LONGETIVITY

  48. Badd February 11, 2011

    @ DBoy:
    You just named 3 songs (& Bad Romance isn’t about s**)
    so really two out of her 30+ songs (not even including demos)
    that were about s**…..the other ppl that I listed about
    48 out of their 50 songs are about s**.
    You’re dismissed boo. !

  49. KAT DELUNA FAN February 11, 2011

    @TUMAY
    Grenade is a really good song IMO.It deserves to say on top for more weeks.

    @JOHNVIDAL
    The song is a little dissapointment to say the least but still can do it. itunes has ruined the quality on the charts even more.

    I smell trouble. This has Madonna written all over it! I am officially off the Gaga ban wagon!

  51. NOBLACKPERSONWANTSTOLOOKAFRICAN February 11, 2011

    THIS SONG IS ONLY NUMBER 1 BECAUSE HER ‘MONSTERS’ ARE BRAINWASHED SHEEP!
    THEY HAVE NO IDENTITY, OR CONCEPT TO WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS.
    THESE SINGERS LIKE GAGA AND BRITNEY ARE MANIPULATING THE S*** OUTTA VUNERABLE FOLK AND THESE FOOLS CANNOT SEE IT! THESE ARTISTS DONT GIVE A FCUK ABOUT YOU, ALL THEY GIVE A FCUK ABOUT IS YOU FILLING THEIR POCKETS WIT CASH AND LIKE A FOOL YOU DO IT! I MEAN WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS DOWNLOAD FROM ITUNES ANYWAY? LMAO
    ILLEGAL ALL THE WAY BABY!

  52. Kris February 11, 2011

    Gaga!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER! F****** INCREDIBLE! GAGA RECORD BREAKER! BORN THIS WAY BABY!!!!!

  53. Kenny February 11, 2011

    Gaga is only playing off the emotions of gays, if she didnt push the agenda so much then her sales would be lower. Gaga has proved that she is not epic or the best, she proved that she needs help from previous arist to make current music ( Madonna, Bowie, Grace Jones, etc)

  54. Badd February 11, 2011

    @ John Vidal:
    i agree….tell these ppl .

  55. tumay February 11, 2011

    @MJSTAN Exactly! Grenade was at the top when HAIM took the spot really quickly a week later HAIM was falling while Grenade took its spot back, now BTW is n1 but Im sure it will fall back really quick while Grenade remains in the top 5, thats the difference between an overhyped artificial success the likes of HAIM and BTW have and a true hit that the general audience like, if it werent for the stans I dont know what would Gaga or Britney do.

  56. JANICE LOVE February 11, 2011

    Lol @NOBLACKPERSONWANTSTOLOOKAFRICAN

    Its true doe.
    Lady Gaga is exploiting the gay community, if I was gay I would not find this song liberating at all! Its corny as f*** and I think it kinda patronises people in general especially when she sings about the disabled people than she says ‘you was born this way’ lmao…

    …and WTF does she mean ‘ dont be a drag just be a queen’ hahahaha it is sooo lame.

    Lady Gaga is done!

    and she look like that witch outta hocus pocus in that pic, you know the one wit the bunny rabbit teeth and the ginger hair? BETTE MIDLER lmao

    Ugly as hell!

    Born this way is just a decleration to the world that she is a t***** or a hermphradite.

    we all know you got a d*** gaga smh

  57. B**** PLEASE February 11, 2011

  64. tumay February 11, 2011

    Beyonce would never release such a travesty, this sounds like a Heidi Montag reject LOL

  65. JJfan1814 February 11, 2011

  66. Anthony The Great February 11, 2011

    YAS!!! That GIF gave me everything.

    HIAM= Generic Rubbish

    BTW= Nice Lyrics, but the production is a horrible Madonna replica. Definitely didn’t live up to the hype.

    #Round IV Let’s Go

    You Ready? *In my Beyonce Voice*

  67. BOM February 11, 2011

    I HOPE THAT GRENADE WILL BE BACK ON THE TOP OF HOT100 🙁

  69. Badd February 11, 2011

    @Dboy:
    you just put 5 songs out of the whole song…
    that’s not what the whole song is about.
    that’s not even what part of it is about.
    & Alejandro…definitely isn’t about s**…that’s clear so
    #YOUFAIL.
    i’m done with you.

  70. tumay February 11, 2011

    LOL but the video is VERY sexual, isnt it? POP = S**, deal with it.

  71. dboy February 11, 2011

    @badd
    who said alejandro was about s**? you either dyslexic or thickheaded

    we’re clearly not operating on the same frequency

  72. An February 11, 2011

    Born this Way has come out straight after a very successful album and she has a big fan base. Because of that the song would have done well even if it was some dated, disco track thats a rip off of a Madonna song.

    Oh, WAIT! It IS a dated disco track thats a rip off of a Madonna song.

  73. Speaks Truth February 11, 2011

  75. MaZ February 12, 2011

    We need youuuuu Beyoncéééé! Please come backkkkk!!!!!

    She gonna kill those b****** on charts!

  76. KaVion February 12, 2011

    Yes, I am a HUGE Beyonce stan..but I’m not sure if she’ll debut the way the did. I mean I KNOW the song will be just as good if not better than their’s. However, Beyonce never really debuts in that kind of way. Britney & Gaga both have crazy commited stans that are all about numbers, so they bought the singles over and over. I just don’t know if Bey will debut like they have..but then again, they had never debuted like this either. Maybe the whole “WHO WILL WIN” rivalry is what’s causing the amazing numbers

  77. TheRealBabyDre February 12, 2011

    @ BADD … :))
    LOL I’m not …. I just love to see them comments … 😀
    I have to agree I loved her before Poker Face was my fave and since then I stopped buying/listening to her . I like Scheibe !
    Don’t get me wrong I don’t hate her I just don’t dig the stuff she does and I really don’t like that her ego got waaay too Big :p

  78. Nichole February 12, 2011

    GaGa stans/Little Monsters have been planning for a while, to have BTW break Britney’s records and now it’s happening.

    They stormed iTunes just like Britney’s stans, and bought 100’s and 100’s of copies of the song just to make it #1.

    Just like HIAM, BTW is full of hype but once the hype is over it will be a different story. BTW will most likely suffer the same fate.

  79. Nichole February 12, 2011

    Love the GIF of Beyonce by the way. Real cute. LOL.

  80. Lala February 12, 2011

    Why’s everyone so happy because it’s only SALES….it’s not important. What matters is that this song is RUBBISH.

  81. S*** February 12, 2011

    LMAO, FAIL, The song is even Worse than I expected.

    Only Girl-WACK
    HIAM- WACK
    BTW- WACK
    (In that order!!)

    But am I surprised when either goes #1?? NOPE!!

    The Queen is about to give these B****** a RUN FOR THEIR MONIES:

    all these *TEMPORARY* #1 HITS so just imagine how many WEEKS Bey’s song will STAY @ #1!!!!

    & I always did think Bey actually WANTED worthy competition (the reason why she hires only THE BEST Dancers & Background Singers) but it seems shes the ONLY one out with this formula: MAJOR SUCCESS + TALENT. She doesnt get that from Mariah, Alicia, Xtina anymore.

    We all know there is a 100% Chance that Bey’s Album & 1St Single Will S*** ON ALL 3 OF THESE H*** COMBINED, LMAO, TOO EASY… Oh Well, I guess Queens must reign ALONE.

    Its a DAMN SHAME, These Sorry ass B****** today leave The Queen B with NO COMPETITION WHATSOEVER, ZERO!! It makes me feel sorry for her. 🙁 Get Used to This BRAINLESS GARBAGE out Now cause once the QUEEN B Arrives to town, QUALITY will be making a COMEBACK & it will be….

    LMAO BORN THIS WAY IS JUST HIAM PART 2. SHE BROKE RECORDS BECAUSE HER FANS BOUGHT 300 COPIES EACH BUT THE SONG IS NOT GONNA LAST BECAUSE IT WON’T GET SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC ONCE ALL OF THE CRAZE DIES DOWN.

    CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THIS GIRL HAS ONE SONG OUT FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY BUT HER ALBUM IS DROPPING 3 MONTHS LATER?

    LADY GAGA FANS ARE JUST LIKE BRITNEY FANS. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT ARE NUMBERS AND GETTING THEIR FAVORITE ARTISTS TO #1. BOTH FAN BASES ARE CRAZY AND DELUSIONAL.

    LADY GAGA WON’T LAST LONG.

  83. sane beyhanna stan February 12, 2011

    Britney please release your next single and Beyonce come back as this is awful

  86. Kenny February 12, 2011

    Some of you are mentioning Beyonce’s name like she will come with something better, I honestly cant see her doing anything new or better than the other chicks.

  87. BORN THIS WAY EQUALS EXPRESS YOURSELF February 12, 2011

    BEYONCE WILL BE THE WINNER IN ALL OF THIS BECAUSE SHE JUST DOESN’T JUMP ON GENERIC FORMULAS JUST TO GET A QUICK HIT. LADY GAGA IS A HUGE GIMMICK AND A WATERED DOWN VERSION OF MADONNA.

    SHE COULDN’T EVEN BE ORIGINAL AND HAD TO COMPLETELY RIP OFF THE QUEEN OF POP. I’M SURE MADONNA IS LAUGHING RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

    OUT OF BRITNEY, BEYONCE AND LADY GAGA BEYONCE IS THE ONLY ONE OF QUALITY AND MATURITY. BEYONCE AIMS FOR HER SONGS TO HAVE LONGEVITY AND NOT JUST QUICKLY CLIMB THE CHARTS AND FALL OFF.

    BTW WILL FALL HARD JUST LIKE HIAM AND THE LITTLE MONSTERS WON’T BE LAUGHING AT BRITNEY ANYMORE.

  92. JAM OUT February 12, 2011

    @KAVION

    I agree Beyonce singles never debut high, but they do have more longevity.

    IF u look at the most week #1s list Beyonce has the least #1s out of everyone on the list but still has more combined weeks than most artist. Most cumulative weeks at number one79 – Elvis Presley – (Pre Hot 100)
    79 – Mariah Carey
    59 – The Beatles
    50 – Boyz II Men
    47 – Usher
    37 – Michael Jackson
    36 – Beyoncé

    Elton, Janet, Madonna, and Rihanna all have more #1s than Bey, but less longevity than her.

    Of the song is exploding on iTunes, its going to explode on the Billboard charts as well. I don’t think anyone was predicting that the song would flop, we all know that it would do very well commercially because GaGa has a acquired a legion of stans that willl buy everything she does because they love. Which is both a good and bad thing.

    But it doesn’t change the fact that this song is one of the biggest disappointments in recent memor. Everything that they said this song would be, it isn’t. And Britney stans should get a hold of themselves, because HIAM is a s*** song. Just because it wasn’t hyper on the same level as BTW doesn’t mean that it’s in any way, shape or form better.

    Now let’s hope that BTW the album doesn’t disappoint. Or there’s gonna be problems.

    Knowles’ range of commercial deals and products also includes beauty care products and perfumes. Knowles has worked with L’Oréal since the age of 18.[218] She launched Tommy Hilfiger’s True Star fragrance, in 2004. Knowles sang a cover version of “Wishing on a Star” for the True Star commercials, for which she earned $250,000.[219] She also launched Hilfiger’s True Star Gold in 2005 and Emporio Armani’s Diamonds in 2007.[220] Forbes reported that Knowles earned $80 million between June 2007 and June 2008, combined with her album, tour, fashion business, and promotional deals. This made her the world’s second best-paid music personality for this span of time.[221] In 2009, Forbes listed Knowles fourth on its list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential Celebrities in the world, third on its list of the top-grossing musicians, and number one on the list of top Best-Paid Celebs Under 30 with over $87 million dollars in earnings between 2008 and 2009.[222] In June 2010, Forbes placed Knowles at number three on its 2010 Celebrity Power List with $87 million in grosses thanks to a 93-date world tour, deals with Nintendo and L’Oréal and her House of Deréon clothing line. Knowles was also listed at number two on the list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential Celebrities in the world and subsequently turned out to be the best paid female artist.[223][224] On October 7, 2010, Forbes recognized Knowles as the ninth most overall powerful woman in the world.[225] In December 2010, Forbes reported that Knowles earned $87 million from January 2010 to December 2010 and eventually ranked her at the ninth place on its list of the “Hollywood’s 20 highest-earning men and women of 2010”.

    Why couldn’t this be MY vision? I imagined a 20-ish second intro that had a strong guitar riff and Gaga singing her lungs out. Then, a dance beat would just explode into the song, and not some cheesy 80s dance beat but a GOOD 80s dance beat, and then the bridge would’ve been back to the guitar and then back again. But not these okay vocals, like INSANE vocals.

    Gaga….

There’s NOTHING SPECIAL or even particularly NEW about HAGa so I just DO NOT like to see media outlets praising her as if shes the next best thing to MJ/Beyonce or somebody talking about shes so AMAZING & TALENTED & genius, innovative & This & That when in reality, She IS NOTHING BUT A FRAUD, A JOKE, A GIMMICK, Shes GARBAGE hence the name LADY GARBAGE. ==>>

    It’s funny because I’ve been around “monsters” for a while and I kept telling them all that Gaga would F**K up! There wasn’t any doubt in my mind that she would continue dishing out these super hyper, elementary, lame 80’s throwbacks. I knew we’d get this piece of hot trash or something that sounds like Elton John. She is the weakest out the “trinity”. I don’t know how she’s in it, when Bey and Britney has over 10 years under their belt. I didn’t like HIAM, but Britney will deliver something more solid. Gaga is just lost and getting too high to know what sounds like an actual song in the studio. I don’t even like Poker face and Love Game – and any of her hits. Those suck too! She’s getting worse and I feel like that 1st album was as good as it gets with Gaga. People thought I was crazy when I said Rihanna has a better catalog and has contribute more to music. She’s not my favorite obviously and I can say alot of things about her – but NOONE sucks like Gaga! If someone told me that Ke$ha or Gaga might see 10 years in the industry – I’d bet my money on Ke$ha. Listen to her album and compare it to The Fame (don’t listen with a monster mentality either). Ke$ha is far more closer to pop perfection than Gaga! I give her til 2012!… By that summer Gaga will be as relevant as Katy Perry.

    This song will not hold the number 1 spot for too long, MARK MY WORDS, its the same thing that happened with HAIM, mostly the fans made it shoot to the top but that really doesnt matter cos they are fans, its the general public the one with the last word, and judging by the reviews , BTW is a tune only her fans like.

  156. tumay February 12, 2011

    @EH number 1 where? in iTunes, as if it really was that groundbreaking, and its mostly cos her fans bought it like crazy, this may not happen to Beyonce, but she has the truth star quality ALL AROUND, she can sing, dance, has the looks and is a really beautiful human being inside out, unlike the arrogant and cocky Gaga, Single Ladies didnt have this begining but if you look back in time, it really became a classic of pop music, lets see if this “anthem of the decade” lives up to its hype.

  158. vegasgirl February 12, 2011

    I’m not surprised, Gaga’s excellent marketing and gaggle of “little monsters” were going to ensure her success with BTW, at least initially. The song is very similar to Express Yourself but that doesn’t matter to me. The song is ok, I get her vision but I wasn’t a fan of Express Yourself so I’m not going to be in love with this song either.

    I want Gaga to continue to be successful because she takes her music “seriously” ( as serious as pop music can be, even though she should make sure not to take herself too serously) , she loves and respects her fans and she clearly LOVES what she does and is willing to work hard to achieve. I LOVE that!

She’s only been around for about 3 years and accomplished a lot. I like beyonce but single ladies sucked! This song and Gaga are going to do well wether you like it or not.

Her global appeal is very strong & Gaga is just PURE 100% *LUCKY* & Doesnt deserve any success & I really dont see Born this way being very a successful Album so yes we will SLEEP on Her for she is BORING & PREDICTABLE.

    Well atleast Beyonce can do MULTIPLE GENRES!!, What can HAGa do besides the SAME OLE BASIC EURO POP MESS shes been doing?? EXACTLY, NOTHING. She brings NOTHING to the Table & thus she is nothing but a Justin Beiber, Kesha & Miley Cirus, All Hype & Popularity but No Talent or Greatness to show for it. DISMISSED

    @s***. You’d big up beyonce no matter what, so its alittle hypocritical when you say, lady gaga’s would buy her music, no matter how bad it is. You never have a bad word to say about beyonce, and when her new song comes out.. you’ll be on here.. saying its the greatest song in years.
    The single ladies song was crap, and yeh it might have got to number 1, but a part of that was due to the dancing in the vid. The song on its own isnt “great”

  179. tumay February 12, 2011

    @EH you are such a DELUSIONAL Gaga fan, this song will not live up to its hype, neither it will be the song of the year, its a gay anthem, this wont appeal to most people, mark my words, this will fall from the charts really quick while songs like “Grenade” and “Firework” will still remain in the top.

  193. Mr. T February 12, 2011

    HIAM sucks ass…why are Birt fans acting like Brit song is much better. BTW might sound like Express Yourself, but HIAM sounds like a song that should be on Kesha’s album, i.e. it sounds like every pop song thats out.

    Gaga is more talented than Brit, so she will do better. Gaga is gonna sing live and dance. Brit is gonna lip sync.

    OHHH Beyonce is the MOST talented. I don’t care how she charts. Her album will be the BEST.

  194. tumay February 12, 2011

    I guess the horns relate to the intro of the song, after all CAPITAL H.I.M. stands for “His Infernal Majesty”, anyway I cant wait for Bey to make her huge comeback and snatch all these b****** flugy ass wigs.

  197. SMH February 12, 2011

    I guess I missed the memo that declared that radio spins and downloads are indicative of how good a song actually is. To be honest, neither HIAM or BTW are great songs and their success only indicates that their stans will buy anything regardless of how bland or cheesy it is.

  198. LEGENDTINA4LIFE February 12, 2011

    Y’all keep bringing up Beyonce like her singles do like that. Aside from Single Ladies, Irreplaceble and Crazy In Love she has no smashes. Hell she couldn’t even get a hit w/ Gaga. Video Phone didn’t even make the hot 100. She’ll never sell like Gaga nor Brit, her time is almost up.

  200. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue February 12, 2011

    “Aside from Single Ladies, Irreplaceble and Crazy In Love she has no smashes”

    Baby Boy, Check On It, Halo. Oh, and she’s been around for 13 years now, so she’s DEFINITELY not going anywhere anytime soon. If anything, she’s just getting things started. But keep hating, though. 😉

    OK, NOW YOU GO ON WITH BEYONCE…
    PATHETIC.
    I KNIOW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WHO SAY THE SONG APPARENTLY SUCKS HAVE HAD IT ON REPEAT ALL DAY LONG.

    AIN’T NO OTHER WAY, HATERS WERE BORN THIS WAY….

  202. BREEZE February 12, 2011

    WAIT! IM CONFUSED!!!!!

    so everybody said that the song sucks and even some of gaga’s monsters said that the song sucks… BUT! how in the WORLD was it able to be the fastest selling song on i-tunes and be #1 in 22 countries?

    and she hasnt even performed at the grammys yet, and her video has not yet come out…

    im not a big fan of Gaga but i do like some of her songs,but my congrats goes out to her!

    i know she’s happy right now

    and Britney fans stop with all the fighting! im pretty sure her next single is going to fire, and i cant wait to see what Beyonce has under her sleeve

  203. Lurker February 12, 2011

    There is a danger here with this “competition” that borders on unhealthy when stans/fans/haters take on the “battle armor” of these singers when it comes to iTunes sales, record sales, etc.

    You posted that .gif of Beyonce doing her drag-walk looking fierce in a gold-lame onesie, but consider this.

    The Mighty Bey when she releases her first single could drop a lukewarm song (such as “Born This Way”) and her fans will buy five-six-seven copies of it, JUST TO OUT-DO Britney’s fans, Gaga’s fans, XTina’s fans and so on.

    It becomes about the QUANTITY and NOT THE QUALITY.

    See how dangerous that is?

    THE MUSIC suffers because MEDIOCRITY is uplifted as ART.

    I hope for the sake of her stans, fans AND haters, that Beyonce’s fourth studio album is masterful and a true classic, much in the vein of her first record, Dangerously in Love. Her second and third albums were too commodified for my tastes and too rushed and contrived, respectively.

  204. LTM February 12, 2011

    i still dont believe she’ll touch the #1 spot this time around

  205. GangsterA February 12, 2011

    so the song went to number one on itunes does that mean the song is not a trash mixed with dog s*** no the shity song will be number one we all know her delusional fans bought that s*** like 1000000 times although many of them didn’t like it and the public didn’t like it if her album will sound like this then i’m gonna pas and hell yes beyoncé will come to shut the world down britney will take the first half of the year and then queen bey will take the second no gaga for me this year if shes going to release b******* like this

  206. LTM February 12, 2011

    @ROYALKEV
    “! I give her til 2012!… By that summer Gaga will be as relevant as Katy Perry”
    have you not seen katy’s chart record?
    have you not seen her performing everywhere?
    are you not seeing her concerts selling out?
    katy perry is beyond relevant, shes dominating your favs. and i dont like gaga but she will outlast ke$ha, who is already losing steam

    @Breeze dont be stupid!! GaG is followed by over 7mil on twitter she only need about 500 delusional stans of them that will buy multiple copies to get there like Brit is doing so just do the maths!!!!!!!!
    B**** take a seat till Beyonce sting them like Bee!!!!!!!

  210. tumay February 12, 2011

    Gaga fans so delusional and pressed cos the general audience is destroying this song, it sucks, iTunes record lol who cares if most people dont even like this travesty, just keep listening to your “anthem of the decade” by the “greatest singer of the generation” and keep trying to convince yourself of how good this horrid song is, good luck with that. Bey will come and she will slay this manufactured “avant grade” clown and her wacky looks.

    @ Lurker

    No, its different for Beyonce, if she were to drop a Luck Warm Rubbish as a 1st single like HIAM or BTW (or the slightly better) Only Girl, Beyonce would FLOP. Because Beyonce has TALENT she is not qualified to be an “IT GIRL” (where Success is basically just THROWN at you because of your appeal) thus she has to work 10XS Harder than these other B****** that can just S*** OUT A #1 SINGLE, she knows this & thats why shes taking her time & putting out something REAL. I dont think its fair but atleast when Bey gets a #1 we all know WHY.

  214. S*** February 12, 2011

    & also, Beyonce DOES NOT have Itunes on her side cause most her demographic could care less about Itunes, I dont even have an Account. Youll NEVER catch me BUYING a Single especially not from the trash out now. To me only Radio Spins/AI & Album sells count.

    Itunes has become & has always been A JOKE. Why waste your $1.99 on these lame ass songz anyway, Dont PPL know how to use a computer, You can download that same mess for FREE. HELLO.

  217. Jess February 12, 2011

    People only want to check it out after the song hyped as the most amazing of the decade.
    Perez already bought over than 10 times for this track.
    Elton John??
    Gaga herself??
    Pop Justice??
    Vogue editors???

    LOL

    This is too Madonna.
    The song is too generic.
    Is Gaga gonna be Boo-ed on Grammy stage this weekend??
    Hope so..Hahahaha
    A copy-cat.

  218. Jess February 12, 2011

    Hahahaha
    LOL
    talking about Beyonce??
    Only Single Ladies from her last album peaked at #1.
    That girl is just the same like Gaga,..corrupt and copy-cat.

    FRAUD!

    Hands-Glove on Beyonce…a copy-cat of MJ.
    LOL

  219. Lex February 12, 2011

    The reason why HIAM falling hard is because ZERO promotions.
    Unlike gaga,…Perez, Pop Justice, Elton John, Vogue and Grammy.
    owhhh,…don’t forget Ellen Show.

    This is totally a heavy promotions.
    But it’s ok.
    So,…the problem is Britney with her promotion team.
    Britney need to promote her stuffs,…HIAM is way better than Born This Way.
    Honestly (no stanning please).

    HIAM at this moment sound fresh+brilliant compare to Born This Way.
    No wonder if we gonna have a look if Gaga get boo-ed on Grammy stage @Jess
    Can’t wait what Madonna gonna say and what Gaga will reply to her.

    This song is too generic and people out there only want to check out because it’s already said to be anthem of the decade.
    But it’s totally a failure (due to music quality)

  220. Paulie DeStar February 12, 2011

    @hello b******, people buy her music cause she is talented and is really supportive in these homophobic times, you need to sit your fat ugly hating a*** down and shut the f*** up, and keep your over opinion mouth shut you jealous little p****!

    Y’all hating on Gaga, but why? Granted BTW is not as good as some of her previous stuff but it’s still good all the same, Lady Gaga is the full package like Queen Bey, and Christina, where as Britney is just a dancer who sounds good in the recording studio, she cannot sing live but puts on a great show….I LOVE all the artists I mentioned as they all bring something different to the game, and anyone wanna shout me out then be my guest, I’m f****** waiting as I’m sick to death of all these petty comparisons and mud slinging on people y’all know nothing about….

    I’ll leave y’all with this: JEALOUSY IS AN UGLY TRAIT…………..

    @ Paulie DeStar

    FULL PACKAGE??? WHAT PACKAGE? LMAO 😆

    Lady GaGa: “I Have One Of The Greatest Voices In The Industry”

    WHAT THE F*** DID THIS B**** SAY????

    Am I reading correctly?????

    This B**** has OFFICIALLY lost her damn mind, I predict she’ll FLOP & end up like Britney 4 yrs ago.F*** THIS OVERRATED B**** & Her Voice is VOMMIT.

    Gag’s Voice = FAR BELOW AVG
    Her Dancing = FAR BELOW AVG
    Her Performance ability = Rihanna’s = FAR BELOW AVG
    Writing = AVG
    Music = MOSTLY TERRIBLE
    Overall = Ke$ha = A HOT ASS MESS!!

    H** & her Fans need a *REALITY CHECK* ASAP.

    B**** is in for a RUDE AWAKENING!!!…

    FLOP

    FLOP

    FLOP

    Rihanna, Britney >>> a hunk of Dog S*** thats been lying in the grass for 5 WKS>>> GAGa

  225. Paulie DeStar February 12, 2011

    @s***

    Yeah I said it the full package, her voice is anything but average, and she is doing something right, all her singles and both albums have been in top 10, sell out tour and everyone is talking about her, any media good or bad = publicity = more money! And your predicting flop….REALLY, I think you should change your name to mystic peg or something as your clearly psychic and can see the future….But then again your name is quite fitting as the reply post to me was actually FULL of s***! I get the feeling you don’t like Gaga so why come here raining on her fans parade? Tryna push your views on others? Or did you just do as your that lonely and like to see you SN all over this site that you want arguments with complete strangers?

    I’ll say this again…..JEALOUSY IS AN UGLY TRAIT!

    It’s AMAZING how people hate on others for trying to make a living….and judge them on what they read….

  226. YOOS February 12, 2011

    Both Britney and Gaga, were alright, the hype was ridiculous, Gaga hyped her song way too much, it’s nothing amazing, she was something crazy-cool before but she has blended in now. Both were disappointment, Beyoncé is going to smash hopefully, Go Bey!

  227. keasyy February 12, 2011

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BEYONCE!!!!

  235. Yellow Gorillah February 12, 2011

    THIS SONG IS COMPLETE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!111

    SO WHAT IF IT’S NUMBER ONE IN 20 COUNTRIES ON ITUNES ANYBODY CAN DO THAT ALL YOU NEED IS A COUPLE OF CRAZY DELUSIONAL STANS AND YOUR DONE.

    GAGA IS NOTHING BUT VISUALS AND COSTUMES SHE MIGHT BE TALANTED BUT THE B**** IS SOOO COCKY SHE NEEDS TO SIT DOWN

    HIAM IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER THEN THIS.

    BRITNEY: ONE
    GAGA: NIL

    I STILL CANT BELIEVE IM DOING THIS BUT I REALLY WANT BEYONCE TO RETURN I HOPE SHE HAS GROWN AS AN ARTIST FROM THIS BREAK SHE BETTER COME BACK WITH GOOOD MUSIC I DON’T WANT NONE OF HER OLD BORING S*** I WANT HER TO SLAAAAAY!

  236. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare February 12, 2011

    @ S***, I absolutely agree with about Beyonce 100%

    And Born This Way is.absolutely.terrible.

  237. Badd February 12, 2011

    Born This Way #1 in ALL 23 iTunes countries…..
    not just in the US or the UK….so you all FAIL.
    Gaga is the FIRST artist to do this.
    She had over 2500 airplay spins yesterday.
    more than quadrupling the last record with was 612.
    Her debut audience impression were 25.083 making
    so 25,000,083 million ppl listened to her song yesteday.
    her the first artist to have that high audience impressions on
    it’s first day. ……..keep hating 🙂

  238. dboy February 12, 2011

    @jess

    Hahahaha
    LOL
    talking about Beyonce??
    Only Single Ladies from her last album peaked at #1.

    so what? she had 4 top ten hits, the album was successful, not every hit mainstream song hits number 1- bad romance, forget you, billionaire etc never reached number 1 either

    That girl is just the same like Gaga,..corrupt and copy-cat.

    FRAUD!

    that’s your opinion

    Hands-Glove on Beyonce…a copy-cat of MJ.
    LOL

    that’s just stupid, performers generally wear handgloves maybe u should watch others apart from beyonce for a change

  239. H&S February 12, 2011

    Im sorry but you are ALL way out of loop.

    BRANDY will SLAY s******, haha and beyonce! No question about it…u just wait and see

    now who gon check me?

  240. BORN THIS WAY EQUALS EXPRESS YOURSELF February 12, 2011

    THE REASON WHY GAGA GOT THAT MANY SPINS IN ONE DAY WAS BECAUSE RADIO PAID THEM BY USING WHAT IS CALLED PAYOLA. THIS IS A TRUE FACT AND NOT TO MENTION HER LITTLE MONSTERS BEING APART OF IT.

    THERE IS NO WAY BTW WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THAT MANY SPINS IN JUST ONE DAY OF AIRPLAY. BRITNEY DIDN’T EVEN DO THAT WITH HIAM, NOR DID EMINEM AND MARIAH. ALL THREE MAKES BETTER MUSIC THAN GAGA.

    EVERYONE IS HYPING GAGA UP EXTREMELY, FROM HER LABEL, TO VOGUE MAGAZINE, TO POP JUSTICE, TO PEREZ HILTON AND ELTON JOHN. ITUNES AS WELL.

    BTW WILL FALL FAST.

  241. JonathanGardnerTV February 12, 2011

    All I have to comment is……

    THAT GIF!!!
    YESSSSSS I CAN’T WAIT FOR BEYONCE TO COME BACK AND SLAYYYY!!!!

    I’m looking forward to Michelle, LeToya and Kelly’s new albums tooo!!!

    Destiny’s Child is getting ready to dominate this year!!!

  242. black February 12, 2011

    alright IM GOING IN, BEY is going to kill you h***, Talking about she never have any BIG HIT SINGLES, B**** HER ALBUMS SELL MORE than britney…..HER SINGLES LAST LONGER THAN GAGA, b**** still winning awards 2 years later, IS the people will say, sence we heard HIAM, AND BTW, you save the best for last……………..BEYOnce later this year. its ova….everyone is waiting to see what she is going to do NExt….HATERS smooches

  243. Mari February 12, 2011

    All of these “payola” arguments are garbage. BTW got the airplay it did because Gaga is a massive phenomenon, and this song has been highly anticipated for months. I don’t even stan for Gaga, have any of her albums or singles, and hearing BTW reminded me why, but Lady Gaga is at the forefront of the culture right now. So, stations across all formats are going to want to play her new music because of the cache and marketability that being associated with her brings.

    Beyonce’s new single will probably not break Gaga’s 1 day spin record for BTW when it drops. “Judas” is not going to break this 1 day spin record.

  244. BORN THIS WAY EQUALS EXPRESS YOURSELF February 12, 2011

    BRITNEY’S FIRST SINGLE WAS ALSO ANTICIPATED FOR MONTHS AND SHE IS A MASSIVE PHENOMENON AS WELL. YOUR POINT? YET HIAM ONLY RECEIVED 619 SPINS IN ONE DAY AND GAGA RECEIVED 1800 SPINS IN ONE DAY OR OVER.

    INTERSCOPE PAID RADIO TO CONTINUE THE HYPE FOR THE SONG AND IT WORKED. WITH PAYOLA THERE IS NO WAY BTW WOULD HAVE REACH THAT MANY SPINS. IF ANYTHING THE SONG WOULD HAVE MERELY BROKE BRITNEY RECORD BUT NOT BY MUCH.

    THERE ARE BIGGER ARTISTS OVERALL THAT COULDN’T EVEN GARNER THAT MANY SPINS IN ONE DAY AND WITH MUCH BETTER MUSIC.

  245. Mari February 12, 2011

    Come off it, hun. Gaga is both talented, and an it girl, and Beyonce isn’t anymore introspective or methodical about her music than Lady Gaga. I mean, when are you all going to get it? This is a new age, and Gaga lives, eats, and breathes her craft. This bish is always playing the game. That’s why she wins. She got the response she did to her single because she’s been cultivating her fan base for the past 3 years. So, it’s no wonder they came out in droves to support her. Lady Gaga has been touring non-stop for the past two years straight, working with nearly every artist that would have her from Trina to Elton John. I even saw a pic of her on one of the blogs snuggled up in a blanket, sleeping in the studio! No one can come for Gaga’s work ethic or try to play it off as if being an it girl is the only reason why a whack ass single like BTW would smash. Not everything that Gaga puts out is going to be great, but then you could say that about any artist.

    Gaga is considered to be a good performer that makes good albums. A common criticism of Beyonce is that while she’s an awesome performer, her albums leave much to be desired. They say the exact opposite of Rihanna, which is why she doesn’t shift as many albums as Beyonce but sells so many singles. There’s a lot more riding on Beyonce having that one hit single because her albums are uneven and there’s no guarantee that her albums will have more than one global/US smash. So, Beyonce needs a single that she can get as much traction off as humanly possible for her albums to sell. “If I were a Boy” was a dud. It wasn’t until Single Ladies was released that IASF took off. Irreplaceable saved B-day.

    BRITNEY’S FIRST SINGLE WAS ALSO ANTICIPATED FOR MONTHS AND SHE IS A MASSIVE PHENOMENON AS WELL. YOUR POINT? YET HIAM ONLY RECEIVED 619 SPINS IN ONE DAY AND GAGA RECEIVED 1800 SPINS IN ONE DAY OR OVER.

    ____________________________________________________________

    Britney hasn’t been on tour and dominating headlines for the past 2 years straight.

  247. Mari February 12, 2011

    and Britney hasn’t been hyping her single for over a year. We’ve been inundated with the phrase “Born This Way” since at least last summer.

  248. Mari February 12, 2011

    @Born this way

    and one last thing. See, think of it this way. I don’t know how many of you are Jack Johnson or Phish fans, but these are big toring acts. Jack doesn’t have any singles playing on the radio, yet his last album “To the Sea’ debuted at #1 with nearly 250K copies sold last June. Now, imagine someone who’s been playing more dates for the past two years than Johnson or Phish and has a significant presence on tv, internet, and radio.

    I heard this song last night when I was driving and I immediately started laughing and was like WTF? Just reading the success it’s getting makes me frustrated at our f****** society even more. THIS S*** SUCKS ASS! SERIOUSLY! I never liked Gaga or her music, but I’ll admit that I liked ever single she released because of the production and melodies, except for Paparazzi and Telephone! “Just Dance” is better than this crap and that was a generic dance/pop single. WTF is wrong with you guys? How come you buy s*** only because of hype? I know people have different tastes in music but this song is so lame and recycled! It sounds dated and the lyrics are stupid! It’s nothing new or innovative! Gaga is a damn joke. She can’t reinvent herself and will be fading real soon! I think people only bought this single because of the premier of it on iTunes. Had it only been released on radio and then released on iTunes a week later, it would not have been getting so many downloads.

    On Perez Hilton web,..
    Britney leads with 80% votes.
    HIAM vs BTW

    over than 200k voters.

  251. tumay February 12, 2011

    2500 spins a day cleraly this is another case of Lady PAYOLA, its just so pathetic, even the dj’s of KISS are saying that they will play this tune at the top of every hour all weekend, people have been complaining about the excessive airplay for this song and their response is that they have to play it anyway…. thats shady, why are they pushing Gaga and her gay song so hard? why cant they promote this hard other artists like Rihanna, Katy or Britney when they release new songs? nothing so far makes sense.

  252. jade February 12, 2011

    @Tumay
    All radio stations were paid.
    Like Apple did yesterday,..they sent buying message to make sure people buy that crap single.

  253. Kaley February 12, 2011

    It’s so obvious.
    People out there already spoken, most of the pools pick HIAM rather than BTW.
    This is a surprise.
    Even on Perez, Britney leads with 80%.
    I don’t know if Perez gonna change that result by the end of the week.
    LOL
    Most critics think that Radio Stations were paid off to play Born This Way like crazy.
    And this song faced mixed reviews and most of them so negatives.

  254. WHITE JESUS February 12, 2011

    it was no surprise to me.

  255. theman1 February 12, 2011

    Lol at the dummy that said that Mariah & Alicia aren’t competition for Beyonce’ really shut that crap up. If they both have great airplay and huge Pop Airplay they’ll do just as good or even better than Beyonce’. Both there last studio efforts were mainly r&b albums, Beyonce’s was more Pop/.

    Beyonce’s really gonna have to bring it, and even if she was out her being out wouldn’t stop Gaga’s success.

  256. i’m a dirty S&M billy goat ….spank me more February 12, 2011

    This song is barely average. It’s a shame when anything can sell based solely on an artists name. The music industry is complete crap! Justine Bieber is the new Michael Jackson and FEminem is the King of Rap! WTF?????

    Rollingstone has said that Born This Way was better than Express Yourself.

    Maaan . Who cares about those numers …!?!?! Not me O_o
    I just want good music when I am at home or in the club !
    I don’t want to hear ‘Be a drag be a Queen’ . That sounds stupid … I don’t know why they call it song of the decade ! Stupid stars ….. !
    Looking forward for Britney,Beyonce, Dr Dre and Kelly ….. Gaga u is boring and ugly as hell !

    btw I never heard a Gaga song in the club ! That’s strange … Maybe because SHE IS boring !
    I come from a country where Gaga is unknown and if someone heard about her they hate her because they saw Alejandro video ! O_o People in my country don’t dig gay people or gay songs !

    As I told you in an earlier comment I don’t hate her I just don’t dig the fact that her Ego is way too big and she is cocky as hell ! Fame got into her head !
    Her music is not something special … She got so big because she is not afraid of anything and because she supports gay people !

    Look at how media treat Gaga and her style ….. Imagine Beyonce wearing underwear while walking on the streets or going shopping … That will ruin her career !
    Why is Gaga treated like a God or something ….. ?!?! I feel sorry for all that surrounds her and I feel sorry for her too ! And I don’t think she was born this way !

    Whats wrong with Eminem being king of rap? been at the top of the game for 10 plus years.

  261. Shanae February 13, 2011

    Is the music industry based on competition or putting out good music. Who cares about Britney and Gaga and comparing her to Beyonce. Take a look at Beyonce’s CV, you will not be able to finish. If I have to compare any artist to Beyonce I will do with the legends, not Britney and Gaga. Still getting awards for an album released two years later? I dare another to do that. Getting to #1 is great but staying at #1 will tell you if your music is worth it. Beyonce doesn’t not need a tweeter a/c nor little monters buying more than they have to to put her at #1. She is pure talent!! Quit the non sense /s*** talk. Beyonce is of perfection that’s why she is the #1 the Queen, and guaranteed her next album will be a success, just like the others. Can’t wait for her to return. And for those who chat about single ladies, it going to live on till bey is no longer around. EPIC.

  262. Shanae February 13, 2011

    Please stop with the king and queen nonsense until it is official.It is not based on favoritism or preference.BILLBOARD King of Pop – MJ Queen of Pop – Beyonce King of Hip Hop – Jay Z -DO YOUR HOMEWORK, IT’S NOT WHO YOU PREFER.
    Quit comparing, there will never be another MJ, another Beyonce or another HOV. LOVE IT OR HATE IT. HATE IT WHO CARES

    Rihanna, Katy, and Britney each get heavy rotation on radio stations. You can’t turn the radio on without hearing their songs. The reason why they are pushing Gaga so hard is because she has garnered much success and popularity in a short period of time so of course they are going to promote her.

  264. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare February 13, 2011

    Oh Gaga…

    *turns on Carl Bean’s ‘I Was Born This Way.” Better lyrics, WAY BETTER VOCALIST, and not interested in commodifying gay and lesbian people to further one’s career.
