Those are sales + streaming :b

Is this a serious question? I remember Born This Way was in tv for whatever reason before it's release.

I remember Ellen Degeneres talked about it before it's release and actually made some people try to figure out the melody to the lyrics Gaga posted, which also it was huge news when the lyrics were released because of the "chola" word and how some (ridiculous) people wanted her to change it, the cover art was also huge news I remember I saw it everywhere on the internet and don't even ask when the song was released. I remember everything was gagagagaggaagagaa everywhere.

For me Born This Way had a really huge impact negative and positive wise.
And it really set Gaga a place in the music industry.

The only impact BTW had was really among monsters, especially those who have not heard of Express yourself.

Roar has been overplayed relentlessly to inspire people, from sports to schools, hospitals, etc.

Nah, it was more like The Fame Monster's impact lasting up until the run of BTW. It was the very definition of front-loadedness. It was number 1 for 10 weeks, and yet all first four singles of Teenage dream outsold it. Let's not even talk about its video, the parody, and Madonna's comment while drinking tea.

I was talking about impact, not the ****ing sales.
And all the last stuff you said prove the impact BTW had.

The madonna thing trying not to seem pressed, singing BTW on her tour. It was craazy.

Ok BTW had more negative impact

No one doubts Roar had its share of impact. How could they? You have the receipts. All the other member is trying to say is that BTW had even more impact. Please respect his opinion as you wish he would respect yours, and just move on if it looks like this has transitioned from discussing to fighting.

Roar by MILES. No one really remembers Born This Way, unfortunately.

Well, BTW has been out for years while Roar has been out for only 10 months, I believe. We don't really know how much Roar will be remember in the future.

Well, majority of people here have been claiming opinions as "impact", so pretty much anything goes

Born This Way had so much more impact than Roar. It's actually an empowerment anthem whereas Roar is pretty....lukewarm. Born This Way was bigger too. I remember staying up until like 3 to hear it and I didn't stop hearing it for MONTHS and it's still played at clubs and especially at LGBT events. Where is Roar played other than seventh grade dances? The answer to both questions is Born This Way hands down.

BTW had waaaaaay more impact. Just count the number of times it's been used on TV commericals, quoted, and sang on talent shows. People will remember Gaga for BTW and Bad Romance.
