Releasing Judas too early is what will prevent Born This Way from reaching a certification that it could.
Right now its only 2x Platinum and I think it could hit 3x in a few months... If Judas doesn't demolish it completely.

Not to mention the song is still Top 5. I'd say last week of April/First week of May is still the best bet.

I agree with you 100%. Born This Way is still selling and with the Glee episode coming up I'm more then sure that it will rise up on the charts again.

I don't think subsequent singles demolish sales. If anything they keep them going because once people buy one of your songs they're prone to go ahead and buy others to make the collection "complete."

Singles compete for airplay, and BTW's airplay is already falling fast. It hasn't made as much of an impact overseas, either, so it'd be good to have a full month of Judas to build into the album.

It will. Lets put it this way.
Someone is not a fan of Gaga but likes Born This Way & Judas equally.
He/She only has enough money for one song and picks Judas therefore BTW loses a sale.

And if Judas really is a lot better than Born This Way, the general public will stop caring about the firsts single and move onto the second.
Either way BTW Loses out and goes form Top 10 on Itunes to out of the Top 20.

That situation isn't going to happen all of the time. And it's not like "Born This Way"'s sales are going to totally fizz out. "California Gurls" kept selling like a monster after "Teenage Dream" was out and became the bestselling single of the year.

Besides, Born This Way is starting to die, slowly.

Last week April sounds perfect, though

I think you dont realize that Born This Way is still number 8 on Itunes.

The iTunes charts don't directly affect radio airplay.

People would rather play NEW Gaga than old Gaga.

I agree with this. We've had BTW since late Feb and it's just now starting to die. If Judas is as great as people say it is, this will definitly build more hype for the album.

Edit: Judas will build hype regardless, but you know what I mean

And "Born This Way" has peaked on radio. It's time to move on.

Didnt it go #1 in 17 Countries?
Although it may not have had longevity in some of them, theres no denying it made an impact
And isnt it still #1 on the WW Chart ?

Not when the song is still Top 10 on Itunes, #1 WW & Top 5 on Billboard.
Thats just dumb to be honest, it would completely kill the chance of BTW have even more longevity.

[Jennifer]

Wait, did I miss something? Did she already make the release date announcement??

I want April 12 or 19th. BTW is done. They might as well move on and make "Judas" huge by the time the album drops.

Or, which will most likely happen, "Judas" and "Born This Way" will simultaneously be in the top ten. Of course a new single takes away the spotlight, but it's not like "Born This Way" will drop off the Hot 100 entirely. It's been two months and it really is time to move on to the next single. Especially with the album coming soon. You can't leave people hanging or they'll lose interest.

+1
It has made enormous worldwide impact
It has so far spent a total of 138 Weeks on 21 Charts Worldwide
17 #1s
3 #2s
1 #3
and 1 #12

That seems like impact to me

The talks about sales are really interesting, I don't think it matter in the end... yes we want the best for Gaga... We want to be able to brag about our fave, but she doesn't really want that or care for that as she has stated. She wants to give us music, she wants us to listen to her music. I think if it were only up to her she would just give it out for free.

If Judas releases early or not it wouldn't matter because in the end of the day she has done what she wanted to do, that is providing us with music... her sharing her creative experiences is what makes her the happiest. I would be lying if I said sales don't matter to me, but I also understand that is not why she is in this industry(entirely).


RedOne interview:

You and Lady Gaga wrote tracks for the new album from Jennifer Lopez, who's a different sort of diva from Gaga. How did that work?

We sat down with her, had dinner and talked about where she is at now, what her image is. The thing that grabbed me is that she said, "I'm a dancer first." And we were like, "Yes, Jennifer Lopez has got to have dance music. She started as a dancer." So of course I had to make her move. She's incredibly happy with her family and her husband, and she's so inspiring-it was easy to make music with her.

What about your musical chemistry with Gaga?

We click. It comes naturally. It comes easy. It's shockingly quick.

European dance styles have never been very big in American pop-until Lady Gaga hit.

All her music is chord progressions that would work with a piano or a guitar, not just a loop doing one straight note. Of course it's a dance vibe that's going to make people move, but [it's about] the song. The first song that really broke was "Just Dance," which was essentially a rock track but with synths instead of guitars. Big drums. The vocals were the melody, with a simple chorus. Thank God we were lucky and it was perfect timing. The moment the public heard it, they bought into it. Big DJs-I'm not going to mention names-come to me and thank me for opening those doors for them. They say, "If it wasn't for you, we'd just be doing remixes. Now we're producers."

Really nice insightful view on the man,

I said it didn't make as much of an impact as it has in the U.S. and Canada. It has performed amazingly, of course, but it's still dying down rather quickly compared to JD/PF/BR.

By the way, Paparazzi was still gaining on radio when Bad Romance was released (and in fact ended up peaking at #1 in airplay). The two situations aren't really comparable.

Be nice, she's not trolling, she's looking forward to Judas and generally has interesting thoughts.

- 2 Months is nothing. Im here for Longevity.
- The album is being released in 48 Days... Theres already a **** load of Hype & even 2/3 weeks with a new single will add on to it. And Releasing it the first week of May would make it around that time frame.
- Gaga left people Hanging for months giving them tiny details on the album... Im pretty sure the general public can wait a few weeks to hear a new song when they are getting countless versions of the older one.
