Good news! You can now use the "Complete My Album" feature on iTunes to get Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" at a discounted price.

Bad Kids is such a grower. I love it now.

I love how she says "I'm a winner" in Marry the Night and "I'm a loser" in Bad Kid.

If there are more songs in the Top 20, she is missing album sales on those songs. It could be true, but we'll just have to wait.

Well, it's just more a reflection of what degree of interest there is in the album itself. But yeah, I am very anxious to see first-day estimates.

My favorite.

We have to remember that Taylor is a crossover pop-country artist. Its not going to be nowhere as easy or expected for Gaga to get those 1 million copies sold...I have a feeling though that the numbers she will be pulling will be unheard of from a pop star in years

Government Hooker

OMG she's a lunatic bitch

she ate a paper

So what is the song with chorus straight from God? Apparently she did Government Hooker in 15min too...

Quote:

[‘Government Hooker’ is blasted out.]

I had a couple of notes that I made during that which I want to say... Because I, in jest, said ‘let’s play a record that doesn’t address anything spiritual’ before I played that, but actually it has a lot of meaning to all of us in the room. This is specifically called ‘Government Hooker’ for a reason and I think the humour in the record is that I’m being told by a machine what to do and I’m happily doing it as long as I can continue to get ****ed.

Where were you when you knew you wanted to write a song about that?
We were in New York. White Shadow had this crazy beat then we threw it in the computer and Fernando started making Gregorian pop chants and then I wrote it pretty quickly. I mean I wrote it in fifteen minutes! Actually all the songs on the album were written in fifteen minutes! (Laughs) It’s just the process of putting it all together takes much longer. But the lyrics and the melodies come to me very quickly, and if they don’t I usually move on. But I love that record. Sonically, lyrically, it’s very simple but it has this huge massive meaning. He says ‘back up and turn around’. Besides it having tonnes of relation to the fact that we allow our Government to continually **** us over and over again, I think it also makes fun of the plastic popstar. ‘I’m willing to do anything as long as you continue to **** me and pay me.’ So it’s also a commentary on pop culture.

How do you want people to take it? As a political song, as something about other popstars? What’s it actually about?
Take it either way, as long as you **** me and pay me after. That’s kind of the point of the song. The point is I don’t care how you take it.

I agree. I just never thought it was reasonable to expect her to sell that much. Country artists are in an entirely different league. Groups who were barely known in the mainstream like Lady Antebellum can debut with near 500k while Katy can dominate a summer with two huge singles and come up with less than 200k.

Wow Taylor Swift seems to be really big in the US... We barely care about her in Europe. I mean except for "love story" I think, we didn't hear any other song from her here!

So WW, Lady GaGa will definitely smash her on worldwide basis! Then I do'nt know for the US...

I downloaded the album off Amazon on my mom's computer. She's freaking out at how long it's taking

She also had an album track (not a promotional single) shoot up to #1 on iTunes the day of the album release.

I really hope GaGa gets that milli but it seems unlikely.

Cantaloupe.

What happened to Gaga recording BTW in different languages?
Was that just a rumor?
