LADY GAGA - BORN THIS WAY - FRIDAY

[Judas]

i don't think she will get it this week she's slipping on itunes thanks to THE BRITS WHOEVER DECIDED SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE PERFORMED THERE SHOULD BE SLAPPED SILLY but the video is coming out next week (according to her, she has a history of delays ;l) so i think it will be number one after that comes out

[Con]

oh no!!
I really wanted her to be at the brits would have been amazing for her publicity of born this way.
hopefully she'll still get #1

It'd only been live on itunes for like 48 hours so it is a lot to ask from an artist, she still got number 1 worldwide on iTunes, so no doubt she'll be number 1 by this sunday, especially after the grammys

edit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles she's no.1 on the chart update

Midweeks ≠ official chart. Midweeks are used as a guide but are by no means conclusive. It's quite possible that Adele will get number 1 this week (if her song––I'm reluctant to call it a single because it isn't––growth keeps this steady rate) and GaGa will have to wait another week to hit the top spot.

no means conclusive? of course they aren't conclusive to the official end of week chart on sunday but absolutely they are a good indicator of what is selling the most because it shows exactly that... as of today gaga had an okay lead over jessie j, and now after the brits effect has come into play today there is a three way battle for the top between them two and adele, and the midweeks tomorrow will certainly be interesting

I took this last night and the situation hasn't changed much since (apart from the album version of SLY is about to overtake BTW).


IMHO it's more like a race between Adele and Jessie J... GaGa's momentum has tailed off (at least by comparison to those two who should still grow over the next 24 hours), so she is probably going to come in at number 3.

[Judas]

yeah it definitely is a race between jessie and adele, that has been apparent since tuesday night. but when the video comes out she will get number one.

oh and also of yesterday, the song has sold over 1 million copies worldwide, which is about six days, and it is the fastest selling single on itunes ever. those sales are a far bigger achievement than any chart position anywhere

never give up hope (yn) I'm not anyway ha she'll get her number one

[Judas]

yeah she will just not this week. but the videos apparently out next week. two weeks straight at number three isn't bad at all.

[Rixion]

I was expecting it to be number one but she's stayed at 3 this week

[Judas]

yeeep i'm happy with that

-rumour- video on thursday... bad timing
