The Lady Gaga Hit Formula? In my analysis of Pokerface (her second single, released in September 2008, which confirmed she was not a one-hit-wonder), I found it to be not just lyrically and melodically repetitive, but also mathematically cyclical. The introduction of the song is 24 seconds, verse 1 is 16 seconds, bridge 1 is 16 seconds, chorus 1 is 24 seconds, verse 2 is 16 seconds, bridge 2 is 16 seconds, chorus 2 is 24 seconds, the rap is 24 seconds, and the final chorus is 76 seconds. It has a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute. All of thes are multiples of 4, which makes a rather organised pie-chart for a frenetic pop song.
& thank you!
