Perhaps it's similar to, for example, Madonna's "Keep It Together" or "Rescue Me," which peaked at Nos. 8 and 9 on the Hot 100 in 1990 and 1991, respectively. The songs were pop-centric enough to receive top 40 attention, but more dance in nature than previous such smashes as, for instance, "Material Girl" or "Like a Prayer." Or, for Gaga, "Poker Face" or "Bad Romance," each of which, it could be argued, boast more obvious, fully-crafted and unique hooks than "Marry."
Its funny how they count bruno as having 8...I mean, if Mirror doesn't go top 10 will his streak end??? But some will argue those aren't his songs...they could argue the singles with him as lead as the streak
She is such a Legend.
