BTW has good lyrics but the beat was such a let down it sounds really dated. I suppose only time will tell if it will have longevity.

at least.

1. Born This Way - Lady GaGa
2. Hit the Lights (feat. Lil Wayne) - Jay Sean
3. Firework - Katy Perry
4. S&M - Rihanna
5. I Do - Colbie Caillat

Riri will kick Katy and Jan Sean out off her way

Plus she needs to put on an epic performance like P!nk did last year to do that.

3x platinum with two performances is still amazing.

Hopefully the Grammy performance will be enough for her to be able to maintain her sales for quite some time, she won't have the huge lead like she did yesterday, but it could still look very one-dimensional.

Rihanna's singles from LOUD are all increasing (and can't wait to see the effect of the Grammys ).

4. Rihanna - S&M
37. Rihanna - What's My Name (it was around #45/50 yesterday)
51. Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) (it was almost #60 some days ago)

US

I love the fact that Gaga is not #1 everywhere now.

It was a monopoly!!! lol

Anyway it has only lost 1 #1 (Norway) lol

The other songs aren't as dwarfed anymore.

NSN at #7

Firework and Grenade's longevity

I'm surprised It's still #1 in 22 countries

YESSSS i like the popbars cause 1. Gagas lead is not 7x #2 anymore, its 5,5 x #2 .... And S&M will be #2 in no time

What's up with these rising Bieber songs ?

I love the fact that she was the first person to top every iTunes store in the world. I love the fact that those who were boasting about a similar, albeit less impressive feat just one month ago are coming up with numerous conspiracy theories just to explain this songs explosive success, when the reality is that this song is doing so well because it was released by the most influential popstar in the world and she has proven that she has selling power like no other. Not everyone is going to like it, but they don't have to. Such is life.

His new movie is out

Norway *facepalm*

I just dont care about Gaga anymore.

At first I was mad coz she was getting all the attention just for free.

I dont like the song. And I dont like Gaga.

But I wont care anymore. I just dont think it deserves the success it gets.

I am a Gay man, and someone who thinks that its helping the gay right by Singing, dont be a drag, just be a queen to the gay community. Its just making a bigger gap between us and the heterosexuals.

I just dont think she is enough to be singing this song and thats it.

The ones that think she can and love it. I wont say anything. They can love whatever they want. That's what taste is for, everyone takes whatever hey like.

But I have the right to not like it also.

Not everyone can like an artist. I just dont like Gaga. I find she is fake to the extreme.

Anyway. Imma stop talking coz this is SYM material.

I just want to be respected as a 'non-Gaga-fan' the same way the gaga fans are respected. That's it.
