Truth is, I honestly prefer Gaga's music over Katy's. To me, Artpop >>>> Prism, but let's be real, Katy's music is catchier and more accessible to the general public. Gaga's actions since the BTW era has alienated her from much of the general public. I prefer GUY over Birthday, but Birthday is more radio-friendly. Also, Gaga herself has kind of made it hard to continue stanning for her. I used to be a HUGE fan, but now I'm more of a casual one. She's supremely talented. I just hope she doesn't equate listening to the opinions of others as automatically meaning people are trying to control her.

It's not even a rumour. Every artist has the capability of paying radio stations to promote their music. It's not even something they get a choice in, their label does it.
There are certain slots on radio stations that are for sale. At the end of the day, Katy or gaga don't pay every single radio station to play their songs. If the song becomes at hit, the other stations play it. - It's how it has always been and how it always will be.
