That hype was her power. You saw it rise rapidly during The Fame Monster. Her old singles were selling strongly, The Fame was hitting its peak stride and Bad Romance, Telephone and Alejandro all generated huge buzz with their video releases. The Born This Way release was like all the hype of everything she had ever done before then put together and it might have been just a tad too much.
