Some straight talk here.

Audience update is pretty bad due to most of the spins being overnight or evening spins (not during drive time).

I foresee a top 30 peak. This would be lucky to hit top 20. I give it a very slim chance for the latter.

And Vogue. And Human Nature with a splash of Erotica. But sounded like La Isla Bonita. It really felt like a cut and paste Madonna tribute. And not in a good way.

I still bop to the song though. It's amazing.

I wonder why it wasn't bash for being a reductive La isla Bonita... That was the first thing that came to my mind after hearing the song.

No, it was a masterpiece.I also don't think that the dark image gaga took was her downfall,I think her narrowing her market to just gays was her downfall and that downward spiral was triggered by the Alejandro video.No straight guy want to be associated with something that is gay.In the straights mind Gaga is exclusively for the gays.

Because it's better than La Isla Bonita as a song. So it was rightfully praised as "additive". Lol

That wasn't what you asked though. You asked whether or not a song needed 30AI before the big stations would play it. The answer to that would be a no, but they do sometimes take their cues from smaller stations playlists. Mostly with "unkwown" or artists who haven't had a breakout era yet...

Don't try me. I saw your question in the other thread.

No. Because her image was on point. It has great replay value. The choreography was fierce. Her different looks throughout the video were perfect (monster outfit, natural look, devil red, quirky gold outfit in bridge). The visuals went with the music. The editing was fantastic.

I could care less how many views something has if I like something. But when 600m people are watching, you know there's something there in terms of replay value.

I watched the video yesterday and it looks kinda poor comparing to her other videos (before & after), the visuals aren't that good and her image isn't neither. I don't know, maybe it's my personal opinion, but Bad Romance is one of her worst videos.

Well even if something has a replay value, it doesn't mean it's good.

Who, me ? I mean you were obviously referring to all the comments from yesterday that said that bigger radios would play it if she had 30M AI, weren't you ?

Indeed.

Anyway G.U.Y.s you're all going veeeeeery off-topic, go to the Base thread. We are her to discuss G.U.Y.

It has good spins imo. The biggest problem is that the big stations ain't playing it and I don't know when/if that will happen.

Uhhh yeah of course it's good if it has replay value. it means it was good enough for you to watch over again. Don't you play your favorite songs and videos more than once?

"Thanks bye?" You're a rude little ****, aren't you? Doesn't change the fact that the question you asked in the radio thread is totally different than the one you referenced in here so very misleading indeed.

I apologize for being rude, but see, the question I asked in the radio thread is EXACTLY what ivi meant.

Well I didn't watch this, cause it was good, I just watched it, cause I wanted to compare it with G.U.Y.
Going by your logic, Gangam Style and Baby are also good, right? Well then.

I though the BTW video was creative, except for the random MJ dance and for the fact that the video had nothing to do with the song.

BTW is my second favourite. Its intro is everything.

I agree with everything you said. I liked the juxtaposition between the video and lightness of the song. I don't see anything wrong with her exploring dark image. Is there some rule that popstars are allowed to be only blonde, bright, don't speak much and sing fun songs?

Just saw the update. Everything but the audience would give me hope. I guess radio stations aren't confident enough to play it during the prime hours. Considering the biggest problem for its sales is the lack of an audience, it is going to be an uphill (mountain) battle for this to go anywhere.

My only hope now is that it outpeaks Marry the Night in some shape or form.

Just like Rock n Roll will remain one of my favorite music videos from Avril Lavigne, the chart performance will do quite little to tarnish the love I have for G.U.Y.

Wait can someone PLEASE explain to me why You and I is doing better than G.U.Y on iTunes at the moment?
