Lady Gaga premiered Bad Romance at McQueen's final runway show before his passing, he streamed it live to an audience of thousands. It was the first time a pop single had been premiered in such a way...
The video. Most watched on Youtube for a solid few months. Countless VMA's nominations and wins. And then every big bitch out there wanted to book the director whilst he was doing bigger things filming the damn Hunger Games.
Not to mention the song was a global hit and (I believe) the single most successful worldwide single for 2010 even though it actually debuted October 2009... someone want to back me up with recipes here? Sure I read this last week?
Dark Horse didn't have a chance from the start. I think if the poll had put BR up against Roar that would have made for a more interesting discussion.
