For a couple weeks at least. Nothing major is coming out within the next few weeks that poise a threat to it. Probably not even until Britney releases her next single.

Why can't I buy the Grammys performance on iTunes like I did last year?

3 weeks, minimum.

If they time it correctly, the video and additional performances, not to mention the Glee episode where they cover it should secure the top spot for plenty of time at the rate things are going for her.

I dunno.
And that gif is so sad.

I love it

My mom asked me before
"Have you heard that new Madonna song?"
"What new Madonna song?"
"You know that one 'I'm beautiful in my way, cause god makes no mistakes'"
"That's Gaga, mom."
"Oh.."

Any radio updates / number of spins?

Not funny.

Nooooo

It is to
She bought it of iTunes now that she knew who made it

The radio here once said "Here's Madonna's Express Yourself" and then played Born this Way.

Singles

Lady GaGa is heading for her fifth UK number one single, with Born This Way on course to replace Jessie J’s Price Tag at the top of the chart.

The title track from GaGa’s forthcoming second album, Born This Way entered the chart at number three last Sunday with just two days’ sales, having become the latest example of the on air/on sale policy of making tracks available to buy almost as soon as they are played on the radio.

Now in its first full week on sale, the single has opened up a 9,000 sales lead over the Island/Lava-issued Price Tag by Jessie J featuring B.oB, according to OCC data. Price Tag secured its second week at the top last weekend, having itself initially won a commercial release around the time it started winning widespread airplay support.

Jive/Columbia release Champion by Chipmunk featuring Chris Brown is placed third for the week so far, just a few hundred sales ahead of Eyes Wide Shut by JLS featuring Tinie Tempah. The Epic-issued single’s sales are up 253% on the week, currently putting it fourth ahead of XL act Adele’s long-running Rolling In The Deep. JLS are also a new entry in 25th spot with Broken Strings.

Virgin act You Me At Six are also cropping up twice in the Top 40, showing up as new arrivals in eighth position with Chiddy Bang with Rescue Me and in 28th place with Knew It Was You. Between their two entries, Interscope/Polydor’s Far East Movement are in 13th position with new entry Rocketeer, recorded with OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder .

Albums

Ahead of the Brits making any impact on the rankings, XL’s Adele is currently some distance ahead in first place on the artist albums midweeks as 21 looks to spend a fourth successive week at number one. Below her are the same two albums that were two and three on last Sunday’s chart: Elektra/Atlantic act Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops & Hooligans and Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna with Loud.

Island act PJ Harvey could be on course for her first ever Top 10 album, with the newly-issued Let England Shake presently appearing as a new entry at four, although albums boosted by tonight’s Brits could change matters. Her current chart peak is 11, achieved with Dry in 1992 and White Chalk in 2007. Lower down the Top 40, there are new albums appearing from Mogwai (through the Rock Nation label), Ovni’s Gruff Rhys and Polydor’s Bright Eyes.

Celestial,is 9K a good lead?

It's good, but if she loses the #1 spot on iTunes today or tomorrow then I don't think it will be enough.

It's main competiton is Price Tag.Is it getting performed today?

Do we know if she will even collect an award!

KRL just posted that in the mediabase thread.

Though when the video comes out (which is apparently "soon") it should boost sales. I'm not concerned... yet.

I was at a store today which sells framed posters.
I heard a teenage girl ask her mother: "Is that Madonna?"
The mother replied: "That's Marilyn Monroe."
Girl: "Oh...."

so....
