It just had 1 remix, since will.i.am's version was the official single verison. The Pitbull one wasn't even officially released.

G.U.Y hasn't impacted radios yet. Crazy Kids did.

It's a better song (that's not saying much though)

Because the GP simply enjoys Ke$ha and/or her music better. GUY is extremely generic and the fact that Ke$ha beat Gaga at her own game is something interesting.

Kesha is a modern day legend with true star power, so even when she has negative press and a lack of promo she can still sell

How is it generic at all? Electronic /=/ generic, the production is actually quite left-field for a pop song

Crazy Kids is FAR more generic than G.U.Y. and Crazy Kids had several remixes (will.i.am, Pitbull, Juicy J,) all with iTunes banners.

G.U.Y. is not done yet, though if Crazy Kids outpeaks it it's simply because it was the better song.
