@umichgrad07, why does Wikipedia say June?

@Ulrihs, I've noticed this too. All the indie/alternative smashes have had great longevity.

I predicted the indie folk takeover forever ago

Wikipedia

But would iTunes lie?

I heard this Ho Hey song in this coffee shop the other day. Really nice jam.

It was on Itunes early, but wasn't released as a single until June from the sources I've read

So Ho Hey does win.

So I'm currently trying to see which of GaGa's songs are the most popular on iTunes right now, but the popularity bars won't show up in sequential order like I want them to. Anyway, I think this is approximately her 10 most popular songs on iTunes right now...

1 Poker Face
2 Bad Romance
3/4/5/6 The Edge of Glory
3/4/5/6 Just Dance (featuring Colby O'Donis)
3/4/5/6 Telephone (featuring Bey)
3/4/5/6 Christmas Tree (featuring Space Cowboy)
7 Born This Way
8 You & I
9 Paparazzi
10 /11 LoveGame
10/11 Alejandro

Seem accurate (I accounted for multiple versions of one song)?

4. I Knew You Were Trouble
Just passed will.i.am

I just saw "Gone, Gone, Gone" by Phillip Phillips used in a commercial for Radioshack!

He's coming for another hit

They might as well have just not released it at all, if they were just going to give it a ****** video and then follow it up with the lack-luster singles that came after.

It might as well have been released as the lead/second single!

I know this is probably expected, but its still sad: Tamar is free-falling.

52 Carly Rae Jepsen Call Me Maybe

Coming for JDs/PFs wigs

Ready for the meltdowns?

No

I don't think anyone is.

And the countless threads?

"CMM snatches JDs/PFs digital wig"
"Is CMM superior to Just Dance/Poker Face?"
"Is Carly the new digital queen?"
"Is CMM iconic?"

And let's not forget

"Let's Praise Carly Rae Jepsen, Queen of Pop"
"Are the monsters pressed?"
"Is Lady Gaga fading?"
"Is Lady Gaga still relevant?"
"Do you think Gaga is jealous of Carly?"

And the inevitable thread for this upcoming Billboard article:

"Carly Rae Jepsen Takes Record for Highest Selling Single by a Solo Female Artist Signed To Interscope From Lady Gaga"

How much has Poker Face and CMM sold so far?

Call Me Maybe was such a bigger hit than Poker Face, it would be wrong if it didn't outsell it.
