Lady Gaga‘s newest single, ‘Perfect Illusion,’ has been troubled since its very unveiling.

After the song itself fielded attack for its repetitiveness, dramatic pronunciation, and  80’s inspiration (some even alleging the tune was a ripoff of Madonna‘s ‘Papa Don’t Preach’), repetitiveness, its accompanying music video was slammed for its simplicity and…erm…lack of activity.

Be that as it may, if the singer’s faithful fans – affectionately known as Little Monsters – were worried before they should probably avoid taking a look at this week’s refreshed Billboard Hot 100.  For, after the tune made a troubling debut at #15 last week, this week saw it dive right out of the top 40! Ouch!
