It would be amazing and hilarious if this somehow worked. This song actually deserves top 10.

Gaga REALLY needs to release something new soon. Y'all have lost your minds.

I've always wanted something like this to work just to see the meltdowns and to read about it later in the history books

Why it won't work:
1. Feasibility. You can't watch MTN 100 times and hope Youtube will count all those 100 views. It will only count it as 1, hell it will probably not count it since you already watched it before. Therefore you need 14 million unique views. Do you seriously think your campaign can reach to 14 million people? Don't get fooled by twitter numbers. The majority of those followers are fake/dead accounts. The absolute majority of the remaining followers are casual fans, people who clicked "follow" for no particular reason or inactive/not very active users. So the actual stanbase (i.e. those who would bother with something like this) is very minimal AND you can't reach them unless Gaga tweets your campaign. A few thousand (and I'm being extremely generous here) views from dedicated stans won't cut it even if they use proxies. Youtube has protection from it.
2. The naysayers. Actual fans who you can reach to, who won't bother because they don't believe in the success of your campaign. So cut your minimal reach by extra 50%.
3. Enthusiasm. The campaign might sound extremely fruitful right this moment, but come the day, a lot of people would lose their enthusiasm, would be lazy to follow it, or will simply forget about it. Cut your audience by another 50%.
So you will end up with a couple of hundred stans (again, I'm being extremely generous here, more likely under 100), who will sweat and blood over this issue thinking they got millions of other monsters supporting the campaign, who will invest a lot of time into it only to be disappointed with MTN not only hitting any single Billboard chart radar, but not even getting a mention from Chart Watch.
Sorry. Just a reality check.

Fans can't manipulate charts like that.
I expected more from you 
You are one of the few non-delusional monsters. |

Reality has been checked already, thank you anyway.
I realize this is insane, and I realize the chances of it working. I will admit that I am disappointed in the enthusiasm level shown by portions of the stanbase but regardless I will continue. If it miserably fails, then so it does and we all move on. But what have we to lose? Dignity? Surely not that, given the attitude toward monsters already.
I'm just trying to do something nice for the artist we stan for and to bring some of the fanbase together - in the end, if it fails, said failure will be inconsequential as the song's status will not change and the fanbase will have in any case at least tried to work toward a goal.
It's not all about the campaign succeeding for me, it's the thought that I thought would count most.

Good luck!

Didn't something like this work in the UK? There was a Facebook campaign to get a Rage against the machine song to #1 and it worked. I wonder what made that different. Was there legitimate media covering that?

Probably should do the streaming week if and when the ARTPOP lead single needs help.

Disappointment is the only outcome
... unless someone would actually enjoy doing 
Well, good luck. MTN is at slightly over 51m views, i will check the view count on the 7th, if I don't forget

I'm honestly really hoping that something like that won't be necessary.

Christmas #1 is a big achievement in UK and lots of people care about it
Who'd get a Xmas #1 was always a sport, but ever since X-Factor arrived, it was literally taking every single #1 for about 5-6-7 years.
Everyone was fed and someone started a Facebook campaign to support an odd rock song that never charted before and it worked. People actually bought it.
Ever since that year, there's been a bazillion campaigns to block X Factor winner from getting that Xmas #1 again, but they all failed, because there are too many of them and there's no unity like in the case of Rage Against Machine who managed to go #1 and block Joe McElderly from getting that Xmas #1.
