Why does everyone say **** like this all the time? Lol. Maybe that's how it works on iTunes in like tiny ass irrelevant countries but Israel is kinda bigger than that And it's their official chart.

Probably another artist paid the people who make the charts to block Gaga
They do this everytime, she'd get that #1 if it wasn't for sabotage/bad management/0 promo/blah blah blah, it's not the song at all.

And their single chart is based on airplay much more than downloads so ...

She Looks So Perfect.

As far as I can tell, it only even charted on their "television streams" chart. It wasn't even a sales chart and it got there solely on 36 TV streams on MTV, trailing 5SOS's 38. I wouldn't be surprised if those plays were based solely on requests, honestly.



Edit: Actually, G.U.Y. hasn't fared well in the sales department in Israel, either. It's currently at #312 on their iTunes chart.

Smash in Israel Where are the doubters now?

[Toysoldier99]
