I can't believe you run a Lady Gaga fansite while speaking such blasphemy.

Electric Chapel is bottom 5 material and Americano slays.
edit; also this page is a damn mess. Gays v Straights and people talking about people who i've never heard of being violent lesbians. MESS
A mess. Double mess at the Nintendon't stans still thinking the actual next gen systems will flop this hard.
The tea will be clocked come December.
I don't have an irrational hatred of straight men.
Some of my best friends are straight.
I'm not suggesting that all straight guys say borderline homophobic things like 'no homo', or that gay people never say it. I'm just saying that it's predominantly straight guys who say it because—well actually I take it to be pretty obvious why. That's the import of the 'they', not simply trying to tar every straight person with the same brush.
And my point in the Robin Thicke thread—aptly demonstrated by the thread—is that bad things are popular if there's tits involved. Again, I don't think it's likely to be gay men who are buoying such popularity, no? Also my post in that thread was somewhat tongue-in-cheek anyway.
Anyway, I guess I'm done with this argument for now, the thread moved on while I was asleep. But god so help me if any of the rest of you refer to something that's just matter of course for straight people as 'pandering' if someone does it for the gays.
[edit] My morning listening is Will Young's excellent 'Echoes'. I wonder what he's doing now. I hope he makes another album and builds on this. It's truly excellent, and we could always do with more solo male singers.

The twists and turns that her accent takes, I swear
[edit] Where Have You Been just came on my playlist, let me get my life.
Rih's best song tbh
PopGAF lurker here, but Will Young's had a loooooong career by most standards since winning Pop Idol in 2003. You know Echoes is his fifth album (excluding his greatest hits collection)?
He's just played the Emcee in Cabaret, nominated for the Olivier (Britain's biggest theatre award) and I think he's doing that again in the near future having left his record label last year.
Yeah, I'm from the UK myself. I never really got into his stuff until Echoes though, the singles from that album were just perfecT.
Shame to hear that he's not doing any music any time soon...Echoes is absolutely amazing.
Yeah. Also I Just Want A Lover, which I think might be the best track on the album:

This is such a bop.
I followed his singles around the time of Jealousy and Come On, but missed this one somehow. Checking out the full album now.

Bless him getting some practice in for his future career
edit; his last album managed to sell 500k despite the fact the lead single only went to #5 and the rest flopped, not bad
He's already been in music for 10 years though.
Or as some people would put it, for two decades.
[edit] Eaux, in case any of you heaux wanted more reason to check it out, the album is produced by Richard X, who you might recognise most recently from Annie's A&R EP.

I know
I still remember seething that he won over Gareth Gates
Talent shows used to be so much more interesting in the early 2000s
Funny that even though the shows weren't designed to be "all about the music" they still managed to find artists that were more musically interesting than the shows that followed.
I actually hated Gaga during The Fame era. Didn't become a fan till Bad Romance. Now that I am a fan, I can recognize that TF singles were bops - but the rest of the album is still pretty terrible and basic. I don't have to like everything she does because I run a fansite. The GagaDaily admin doesn't even like her at all.

I have no idea but I've had her on repeat since someone posted her a page or two back
Also I've listened to Body Music finally
Admittedly I've only had it on in the background while I play Dota, but nothing really stands out to me. The album is nice enough but I wouldn't rate it as high as many of you are

Biggest debut of the year.
....and still in the top 10 I might add, but I thought 1D's sales were frontloaded?
(For comparison. "Baby I" debuted the same day, went to #2 on itunes right behind 1D, and is now in the 70's.)
He linked that to me yesterday but I ignore most of the things he links me, you should have sent it to me.

I won't be. A wii U shall never enter this household
And I doubt I'll ever see one in someone else's either
Kudos to 1D. I never thought that they would sustain their success this long

Bless this slayage. I'm warming up to BSE.

Coming for that #1 debut?
Still very unlikely unless she pulls 800k+ first week sales or Robin starts dropping quickly.
Robin will probably be performing at the VMA's as well.... so I just don't see it happening.
lol, I can only imagine the reactions if Blurred Lines cockblocks Applause.
Might be able to: starts on a monday with the song + video. So you'll have streaming + sales pushing it through out the week. Then at the end of the week (sunday) you have Gaga's performance, which will help surge interest from the GP.
Not to mention with the Katy kats and monsters feuding at the moment, they will surely be buying the song at a faster rate.

I fear for Robins life tbh. The Lambs are already after him for crushing Mariah's record into oblivion (BL's had the biggest radio update again today even north of 250 million AI).
Is there any point in time where these records won't be broken? I mean, audience impression is inevitably something that will be surpassed just by shear population growth rates, right? Or is it not quantified like that? I'd possibly be upset if the song sucked, but I actually just heard it on the radio about a week ago and I loved the production and vibe.

Maybe. I am watching 1D's streaming numbers very closely this week since they have a similar WW spread to Gaga's. So far music videos on youtube have failed to make any significant difference in streaming numbers.
When 1D's OWOA hit they pulled over 10 million views in a day, yet failed to get more than 3.5 million total streams for the week. We will see what they get this week.
Some have surmised that the Billboard formula favors on demand streaming services like Spotify, which is bad no new releases since Spotify streaming tends to shift slower towards new tracks. There is also the rumor that Billboard only counts ONE youtube view per device, per day. Which essentially neuters music videos.
Naw. Radio audiences have actually been declining as people gravitate towards streaming.
Almost all the top AI songs are from the mid 00's.
