- I do think that You and I would do well on HAC and AC (especially after she has started to establish herself on these formats with TEOG).. who knows, maybe there will even be some rock or country stations that would play it
- My concern is POP. We have seen how hesitant Pop radio has been with TEOG (it is still doing well, but it could/should smash harder)... will POP radio play You and I?
- I can see overall this song getting a decent AI and decent sales, but maybe just peaking at #10 or so on POP- I don't know if this song can ride on her name alone....
- But I am hopeful that a KILLER music video and VMA performance would create enough buzz to maybe get Pop radio on board and get some sales....
Thoughts?
Ps: I think this is a great song, but why she did not choose Marry The Night is beyond me.

1. People I know prefer, "Marry The Night." My mom doesn't like GaGa that much (especially Bad Romance
) But loves TEOG. She also HATES You and I.
2. Agree on HAC/AC.
3. I see YAI having a similar chart run as CKB on Pop, perhaps a bit better. Definitely not top 10.
4. This could end her "top 10" streak. She definitely won't get a dance/club play #1.
6. I can't see how she's going to do something creative/innovative/ or unique at the VMAS with a You and I performance.
This song would go 2X platnium though, something TEOG might be lucky to see.
She should go with Heavy Metal Lover or Highway Unicorn (in my humble opinion, girls).
Marry The Night should be single after NEXT single. I'm here for late 3rd quarter + 4th quarter sales. + Right about the holidays + Year end chart topper + longevity until Spring just in time to release the party jam Scheisse to start/continue her reign for 2012.
I've actually really gotten into You and I lately after all the speculation that it would be the next single. Aside from those randomass bloated noises in the beginning, I absolutely LOVE the hard rock production of the song and I actually think the song will do really well (though I know a lot of monsters here probably don't agree). I've played the album for my family and about a dozen friends and virtually all of them said that You and I was one that they really liked. After her Howard Stern interview there was HUGE positive feedback from Howard's listeners (which is a completely different demographic than most of her little monsters), with many of them saying they only listen to rock and classic rock but really were blown away by her live performances (I retweeted a bunch of them on my twitter 
). That demographic of older listeners who miss the days of classic rock will really eat You and I up and maybe I'm just being too optimistic/delusional but I think the song will do very well and especially if there is an amazing video.
its going to be so amazing, its one of my favourite unreleased songs.
