Hold your head up and be strong




13. Til It Happens To You // 7.00

Co-written with Diane Warren for the 2015 documentary film The Hunting Ground, Til It Happens To You deals with campus rape in the United States. Very important subject matter, the song deals with issues of grief and pain and how to struggle through it. Very impactful and powerful, it is more of a statement than a fully fledged song which may explain its placing here. Still, her mighty voice and prowess shines through the dark, sorrowful lyrics and offers a message of strength and powering through.

Love TIHY although rarely listen to it. But it has 24M listens on Spotify which is a good album track amount for her.

I'm not leaving without you




12. Yoü And I // 7.11

A bit of a shock now - we lose the 2nd biggest selling song in this countdown! The 4th single taken from Born This Way, this was a fan favourite in the early days of the album's release. Performed multiple times and a top 20 hit, it acts as an ode, a tribute to her lovers and more importantly her fans. The song features Brian May, is Grammy Award nominated and had multiple live performances (including the VMAs). But as a ballad, it doesn't seem to do it for you as it shockingly misses the top 10! Are there just many other more exceptional singles, or have we just done this single the dirty? Yoü decide~

Oh 'You And I' deserved so much better sad.gif I was a huge fan of it back in the day, the song flew to #1 in my chart and I was obsessed with the music video/VMAs performance/the Gaga and Jo Calderone thing. It is also the only song I've ever publicly sang on karaoke laugh.gif one of many strong moments on 'Born This Way'.

It's one of her personal faves I think! The video is gorgeous, but I'm not TOO keen on the song (meaning it's not 10/10).

It's not my favourite single of hers but I think we've been too harsh here and it deserves to be at least 5 or so places higher. The video is nice.. even if it is loads of ideas from different projects thrown together. I love how much the song means to her and the response it used to have when performed live; a real stadium anthem!

It's just a badass song wub.gif The video is nuts and some of her performances of it (HELLO that ridiculously OTT Jonathan Ross where she performs in a barn) are just brilliant.

I start to think that I'm insane




11. Before I Cry // 7.23

Just missing out on the top 10, is a song that features on the soundtrack (but not film version) of A Star Is Born. Before I Cry is a beautiful ballad about love and loss and longing for more in a relationship. It doesn't feature in the actual film but on the soundtrack it slots in perfectly, blending the melancholic mood of the film and the stunning love story that unfolds throughout the album. It's done very well here for one of her lesser known songs!

Before I Cry is dated and her worst song on the soundtrack.

Yoü and I was nothing more than a terrible Shania Twain/Queen pastiche and highly skippable — it helped kill most momentum for that campaign outside of the US, too. Oop.
