Despite never cracking the iTunes Top 100 or 10m AI on radio and peaking significantly lower, GUY has 60 million views (combined) while #17 peaking Birthday who garnered 85m AI (and counting) has less than half the views.

Discuss and keep it qt!!

Birthday was a **** video for a song.

Because Gaga's video has been out longer and little monsters would reload the video constantly to get more views

Because it's a better video

Because G.U.Y. is the best pop video of the year, and bday one of the worst videos in years.

It's been out for longer, was high budget, had multiple songs in it and was sort of controversial.

It also took Birthday 6 weeks to pass G.U.Y.'s first week

Ikr? It's strange. Even combining the lyric video Birthday does not pass G.U.Y. overall

Not shading or anything since Roar and Dark Horse established Katy's youtube power.

It's a better video.

Plus it had a lot of hype. Gaga still has quite a bit of starpower.

Birthday really has less than 30 million views?

/end thread

People could either watch 8+ minutes of Katy Perry trying (and failing) to be funny or they could watch like 10+ minutes of something their used to: Lady Gaga being weird AF

I mean to be fair no one really watched either of them but slé I guess Gaga

It's the better music video.

this

Gaga has more obsessed stans that watched it on replay.

I think Dark Horse killed the potential for Birthday as it is still played more on the radio and still getting more views.... plus the video for Birthday could have been a lot better

The desperation to rub it in Katy's fans faces. I'm either far too old for this **** or you're being incredibly childish.

I can't be the only one that's tired of this continuous ********. Every ****ing day. Gaga vs Katy. Gaga vs Katy. Gaga vs Katy.

Good to know

Because its the better song and video

Because it's a better music video bye!
