You're kidding, right? Everyone remembers Laffy Taffy.
Anyone who doesn't remember Low or Right Round is a goldfish. Just sayin'.

For some reason, it feels like "Just Dance" got overshadowed by "Poker Face." I notice a lot of people believe that GaGa's debut single is really "Poker Face." Oddly enough, "Just Dance" is her best-selling single and one of the best-selling singles of the digital era.

LoveGame, Paparazzi, Telephone & Alejandro are pretty much forgotten.
Just Dance, Poker Face, Bad Romance, Born This Way (cuz of those lyrics) & probably Judas will be remebered for years to come.

Videos also sometimes play a big part in impact too, & that's been a part of the impact formula for ages. Thriller, Toxic, Dirrty, Bad Romance & Paparazzi are all examples of that.

My point is, you are going to find more impactful songs in the 4-6 million seller group than the 2-3 million selling group.

Dynamite was successful, no lie, but to say it made an impact is reaching. It was hugely popular, but next year it will have been forgotten and buried. As opposed to "If I were a Boy" or "Paparazzi" which were both successful and memorable, yet didn't sale as much as the Dynamite's or Right Round's.

Delete Paparazzi from that list. Its video is magnific and the song is one of her strongest but in the grand scheme of things it's irrelevant.

Some of these songs y'all are mentioning aren't that big in the real world. We just happen to be on a forum where everyone worships majorf emale artists.
For example; I was with my friends on the weekend & someone put on JoJos Too Little Too Late & EVERYONE knew every word. & how old is that song?  Dynamite was also massive.

Dripping with sarcasm! I like!
Let's also not forget the smash #1 hit that everyone remembers... "Do I Make You Proud."
That song slayed.

I almost didn't put it but it fit what I was talking about. It certainly is not as remembered as the other four I listed. But the video is the reason it's one of GaGa's most remembered singles, just like the video is the reason Dirrty is Christina's most remembered single.

I think the only truly memorable Gaga songs for the public are Poker Face and Bad Romance, possibly Just
Dance and maybe Born This Way by the end of its run.

Dynamite will not be forgotten. It's kind of like how IGF still isn't forgotten today, but Dynamite is to a lesser degree. But still very impactful.
Paparazzi had its video to make it impactful, without the video the song would be buried with LoveGame in the memoriability category. Videos are another big part of how impactful a song can be, sometimes more than others. If I Were a Boy doesn't fit this topic because imo it is not that remembered.
