But don't forget Lady GaGa hype and promotes her singles alot more than the other pop girls (maybe beside Katy) and she gives them longevity and doesn't kill em early like Rihanna

She dosen't have cross-over appeal, she needs to get better AI's if she wants to have chart toppers this era.

the answer is simple, white pop girls are only supported by pop and HOT AC, just a little by rhythmic. This is true for Gaga, Katy, Kesha et. But that''s enough for them to reach record AIs on overall AI and pop support is the most important for sales, so it does not really matter

Why can't her songs peak in the 150.000+ like Perry, Rihanna or Taylor Swift ?
Aren't her songs catchy enough ? Isn't she young enough ?

she's 26.

Rihanna also gets Rhythmic airplay because she's black. I'm sorry but it's the only reason a pure house track like We Found Love could go Top 3 on Rhythmic. She does as well as Gaga did at pop on her peak, and can then automatically add 25-40m A.I. because of her guaranteed rhythmic support no matter what genre she is doing.

? Rhy has always played dance leaning songs, Like several dance hits (Like a G6, In the Dark) were HUGE there. and FEM and Dev aren't black.

Who, me ? No, I've never heard any Gaga song, ever.

FEM are rappers though. Dev is an exception, but what Greasy said is generally true. It's easier for a dance song by a black artist to do better on that chart.

When her music was good, pop songs didn't get huge AIs. Even I Got A Feeling only peaked at 125M. It's only in the last couple years that there's been an expansion.

Now her music is not very good.

Justin Bieber has been HUGE on Rhy this year, Bruno Mars is currently #4 there Calvin Harris has done well on the format with all of his singles this era... I can go on if you'd like.

Her single arent generic like those radio songs and Gaga is experimental

Yeah, radio only plays good music. Bad music never gets played on the radio.

So the higher the peak the better the songs, right ?

I know right? There is some real trash on the radio nowadays, some of it even getting a lot of radio support.

It goes much further than just a song being good.

Go on please. I follow the rhythmic chart closely, so I know who's doing well and who's not

No one said white people can't go Top 10 with dance songs. But you can't deny that when black people do dance songs they tend do better. It's rare for a white person to go Top 5 with a dance song.

And Bruno isn't dance. He's always been more R&B, so that's irrelevant with this discussion.

Why do you think Beauty and The Beat is stuck at #10 again this week on the chart? Why do you think a generic song like Let Me Love You flew to #1?

And why do you think Feel So Close only went to #19 but the Calvin Harris song with a black artist went to #4?

Yeah I did say maybe but when you compare the two Gaga is seen as doing something strange all the time.

MTE. Let's not conflate quality with "radio friendly." BTW has good songs but they weren't fit for the type of sound that's on radio at the moment.
