The only Gaga songs I knew before last October were "Poker Face", "Bad Romance", "Born This Way" and "Applause". I actually did know "Just Dance" and "The Edge of Glory", but I didn't know they were by Gaga.
The only pop albums I owned were
21,
19 and
Back to Black. The only Beyoncé songs I knew were "Single Ladies" and "If I Were a Boy". I knew "Firework" and "Roar" for Katy. I knew that Bey's
4 flopped (or so the media told me), and that was about the extent of my knowledge of pop music. I barely knew anything about the charts. It was tragic.
The fact that I've gone from that point to this point in such a short amount of time might be even more tragic, though.
