BR had more impact at its peak. But at least Firework is still remembered and actually still liked by the public.

The fact that it is still pushing those amount of sales despite being like 3 years old should be good enough, lol.

Just accept the fact that Firework will continue to be more remembered from years to come while BR will continue to be forgotten.

Poor icons and legends they don't get the bumps firework gets poor their 12m+ sales

WOW she is singing Firework, an american anthem, wearing a USA flag tagged tee shirt, she wants to be Gaga so bad.

Will she ever stop copying flags and hair?

The GP agree

[Melquiades]

Bad Romance had a lot of impact during its prime, but it is now forgotten. RADIO, StREAMING and SALES do not lie. Dont even try it monsters.

Firework is a modern pop classic that will be referenced for generations, like it already is.


Roar and Dark Horse are even bigger than Firework tho, and bigger than all Gaga s song put together.

Why are you bragging about it's sales as if Firework didn't sell 10-11 Million copies WW?

[karron0624]

Umm, why would you make a thread about impact and then seek to use current information about a song that is being promoted versus one that isn't? Common sense says that firework should be more popular now with the superbowl commercials, the interview, and new years is on Thursday. I swear.

Anyways, Bad Romance had more impact, Firework has better longevity. Your an idiot to argue anyway else.....

"Big wig bun fight" "battle babes" these are just hilarious because they are just regular outfits....

Your logic sucks many classic don't chart every year that doesn't mean they aren't remembered lol, If Bad Romance was about the US or a celebration or Christmas and it smashed the same way BR smashed it will chart every year

[Ash12345]

it already has outsold BR
IFPI just measure streams + shipments right?

[Timber]

I would love to say BR because its a million times better, but the amount of times I hear the plastic bad reference...

Bye with those outdated BR receipts.
Bad Romance sold 9,700,000 copies only in 2010, without 2009 or 2011.

Firework, on the other hand, sold less than 6,5M during 2011.

[notmyselftonight]

1- we didn't write this, the media wrote it

2- There are the other evidences but of course you will avoid it by "poor monster" "everyone uses it", etc..

Can you not read? I addressed the answer to that question in the very first sentence.

Impact means nothing if you can't get people to remember for more than a few years.

shipments? it's a song on itunes that was released in the digital age

Examples of classics still charting.

Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z). 1293
Crazy In Love - .401

So there goes your argument of a song having to be targeted to a certain subject for it to reappear and still be able to sell.

No, it hasnt
Show me the receipts.

And no for the second time, IFPI didnt measure streams and shipments back in 2010.
