I'm not at all surprised that "Judas" has underperformed so severely for Lady Gaga, but I'm shocked that "Run the World (Girls)" hasn't done better. I just figured that a new Beyonce song would inspire a most excited response.
Billboard has changed the credit on "S&M" to Rihanna featuring Britney Spears, reflecting the success of the "Rih-mix" version of the song. The song becomes Spears' fifth #1 hit. It's Spears' second #1 of 2011, following her own "Hold It Against Me." This marks the first time she has had two #1 hits in one calendar year.
Quote:
At No. 33 on the Hot 100, Beyonce charts the highly-anticipated first single from her forthcoming fourth studio album, "Run the World (Girls)." After it hit the iTunes Store last Thursday, the girl-power anthem starts on Digital Songs at No. 23 (77,000). On Radio Songs, the track begins at No. 65 (18 million in audience).
Nothing against Beyoncé. I like her and her music, but if this was another artist like Britney, Rihanna or Lady GaGa the thread starter would have updated this thread 1 second after the Billboard update with something like "Britney falls", "Rihanna flops" or "Lady GaGa didn't match expectations"
Watch this video of Rihanna performing Love The Way You Lie Part 2 at Melbourne. I was there and from 3.00 her vocals are amazing and I had tears in my eyes. (BTW this isn't me this is some randoms video)
