I was just listing some of the other #1s this year. I wasn't trying to argue against his point.

Oops. Sorry.

People are pressed that Call Me Maybe is slaying so effortlessly whilst Where Have You Been, Marry the Night and Starships are nowhere near #1.

Even You & I made the top 10 on Itunes in 24 hours and stayed there after the video debut so what's stopping Where Have You Been, which sounds more commercial + had a more cohesive and hyped up video?

Yet WHYB will still end up selling more than Y&I. Yes, I can see into the future..

WHYB will be a grower on the charts just like Stronger and will last at #1 for the same duration, if not more. Y&I is GaGa worst single and will soon be overtaken in the long run. Longevity>sales and a quick drop.

SFTTR is forgettable and basic as well.

No, it's not.

Anyway, i wasn't expecting payphone to be this huge. MLJ seemed like one of those one-off novelty hits. How's this doing overseas?

So?
We Found Love didn't reach #1 after its release, while other songs did immediately.
Then we know what happened

[Jolie's Lips]

Time will tell.

I hope WHYB does well. TTT album sales could definitely use a boost.

Kelly Clarkson is the Queen of longevity, not one hit of her is forgotten or ever will be. She gets the most recurrent airplay then the majority of the current pop stars.

Not quite.

That would be either Marry The Night (as a single choice) or Alejandro (as a song, itself).

Out of the 10 biggest songs of 2011, only Moves Like Jagger went straight to #1 on iTunes. The other 9 did really badly on their first day of sales.

What'err.

"Where Have You Been" will certainly be a bigger hit than "You & I".

Wait, there's people who think that it won't be?

Let's be honest here. You and I had no mainstream appeal at all to her home genre stations. WHYB fulfills that prerequisite entirely.

There's someone who's comparing the two situations. I see "Where Have You Been" being a summer hit. I don't know if it will reach #1, but it will be a bigger hit than her last few singles/songs.

WHYB is cute, don't mind hearing it on the radio this summer.

Not to mention that it killed her mainstream appeal for any future singles, but, you know.

I would say it's her fault for not listening to her fans and releasing Scheisse, but... fan-voted singles for Rihanna and Britney flopped, so it seems like the fanbases really don't know what's best anyway.

EDIT: I should say "Born This Way singles" though. Not any and all future singles.

That wouldn't really be that difficult, honestly.
