It's always been one of my favourite songs on BTW, but I never expected that it would get off to such a good start. I'm very pleasantly surprised!

Same here.

SLY will blow up after the VMAs and I think it could block Cheers too.

I'm still hilariously amused by her changing "Nebraska" accordingly.

I'm also pressed that they took out "I'm a New York woman born to run you down," but I guess they did that so the only mention of location in the song would be the location in which the song's being played.

I think if SLY, Cheers, and Y&I all blow up, Y&I will peak at #3, which I'm totally okay with.

You and I has grown on me, a lot. The video is great too. Not too thrilled about it being a single, but I do hope it smashes. A strong ballad really moves album sells. So good luck to Yuyi She's coming

Death at Gaga updating through the night and LFN falling like a rock.

Anything in the Top 10 for a pop girl ballad is a smash tbqh.

Right? California King Bed couldn't do it, even w/ an American Idol performance. I'm still not convinced Y+I will go Top 10 on the Hot 100 but I'll be very impressed if it does.

I'm not sure about it either. It's having a strong start, but Lady Gaga's name will carry a song at the start of a radio release.
Things can turn ugly quickly.

IF it goes Top 10, I think it's a big statement about Gaga's strength in the industry. Most pop stars cannot pull a ballad off for their lives.

CKB flopped because it sucks... rihanna's good ballads (unfaithful, russian roulette) did go top 10

I'm sure You And I is going at least top 10. the song's already no. 13 on itunes and will be 3 spots higher in no time

True, no shading but see where were Thinking of You and Califronia King Bed ... as well as Best Thing I Never Had ..

After Take a Bow, there isn't any ballad topping hot 100.
I hope either SLY or U&I top it.

Russian Roulette was a lead single, it's a little different

[MrPeanut]

Have they discounted the album in the UK yet?

The single released months after the AI performance ..
The effect had worn out ..
CKB didn't do good just because ballad aren't the favourite of pop stations right now.

SLY sucks..

Y&I deserves success ..its more than amazing !but i dunno whats wrong with American people !

RR was a lead single following a humongous era. Its #9 peak is nothing to write home about.

Unfaithful is good and catchy, and has some urban/rhythmic appeal. I get its success.

You+I is just OK imo. Not bad but nothing special. It's not one of those great ballads that make you go, it doesn't matter that Lady Gaga is the singer, the public will go for it.

I'm glad they've begun using her VEVO for performances, and for the album audio, instead of just music videos.

It's especially useful with how global of an artist she is.
