This has to be a hit absolutely everywhere! An absolutely fantastic mixture of RnB, Dance and Pop. It features Colby O'Donis and Akon. There is no official video yet, but you can listen to it here:

Clue: Lady GaGa, a big star this past couple of years. She doesn't always work by herself though, she's had another massive number one single with someone else....
Nice song! AWESOME track....it's already stuck in our heads.
Official video:

shes also working with Esmee Denters
and she also collaborated with nkotb on song for their upcoming album.
I love it!
Brilliant I love it i'm going to put it in my chart next week
I like that on first listen. Sounds alot like Umbrella though.
Awesome
Bumping this up so mine can be closed LOL
AMAZING song
Oh my. I love this
I so knew you would Jake!
This song is so amazing. I hope it gets a release in the UK, it could be HUGE
I like the song, the video is great, theyd prob cut parts out for uk tv tho like the whale humping haha Do you think it'll get released here? the only thing wrecking it is that alien head akon features in the video.
It's getting a UK release in August. It should be huge I imagine, I could see it being one of this years summer anthems!
Still love this... 100 plays later
This is SMASHING iTunes US as we speak!!!
#47
Oh my GOD, I adore this now. I succumbed!
official video.
btw i LOVE this!
When is this out in the UK? I think it's a good song.
Amazing song!!
I f***ING LOVE THIS b**ch!
I am buying her album RIGHT when it comes out, I downloaded the Just Dance EP about a mopnth ago...AMAZING. I haven't liked someone this much since Britney Spears.
what a great great track, a superior pop trackl!! its got so much going on to hold your attention. its a mix of electro pop, disco with a retro 80s feel. all blending perfectly together! a feel good thumping track to dance too. i really hope this gets the recognition and sales it deserves in the US. she sounds part christna aguilera part gwen stefani like their cooler fresher younger sister.
adore this song I love her rap towards the end and the electro trip oozes in!
She reminds me of an 80's Madonna but (lets be honest) with a stronger voice.
I do quite like it, brilliant video too.
Ozmead got me into this song and its f***ing amazing. Total tune of the summer
Amazing song.
I LOVE the ending too!
she's performing on So You Think You Can Dance July 31st
hopefully Colby goes w/ her to perform his part live so it isn't cut like it usually is
GaGa domination
She performed this on Miss Universe! She sounds pretty damn good live!
The performance is in intervals to go along with the pageant so she performs in the beginning, @ 4:45, and around 8:25. I believe. I commend her on being able to do simple dance moves with those heels on, but I seriously love this woman. <3
The performance is fierce
I have an outfit just like that in my wardrobe, might slip it on
You cant cos I found it and took it for myself SORRY
Why would you do that when you knew it was my favourite outfit
EVEN HOTTER THEN JUST DANCE = Boys Boys Boys
Boys Boys Boys is excellent. Very 80s pop-gold type thing!
Official cover apparently
I bum that.
I really hope she gets a release in the UK soon. It sounds like something that would do MUCH better over here than it would in the US tbh ...
Didn't know what to think of it at first but now I love it!
She sounds even better live than on the studio recording, that is an achievement.
'Boys Boys Boys' is really good as well.
AHHHHH!
So yesterday she performed on "So you think you can dance" and it was amazing. Bar a few problems with her microphone she is such a performer. When watching it you feel like your watching Madonna back in the 80's but with an 08 twist. Her intro is
1 Just Dance Lady GaGa
2 Beautiful Dirty Rich
3 Love Game
4 Boys Boys Boys
5 Nothing I Can Say
6 Brown Eyes
7 Paparazzi
8 The Fame
9 Poker Face
10 Dirty Ice Cream
11 Rock Show
12 Wonderful
13 Disco Heaven
14 Again Again
That album cover is so dreadful! So tacky and fanmade-looking. And the tracklist is slightly lazy; some of the songs like Again Again have been around for 3 years now. In fact it consists entirely of songs already leaked...
But I forgive her because that performance was ALL KINDS of amazing. Wow.
That performance = AMAZING
Loving the performance shame about the microphone
Lady Gaga is my new obsession
1.Britney Spears
2.Lady Gaga
BEST THING SINCE.
I haven't heard like nine of those songs personally
I can't wait for it though, I love the album cover too personally.
I've been loving this more than ever today for some reason.
I may buy her album.
I've been waiting ages to get the album now, I ordered it about 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't came
Apparently Lady GaGa arrives in the UK tomorrow, to promote Just Dance. I hope it's released soon, anyone know when the release date is? Must be soon if she's promoting it.
Release isn't until January sadly...
I seriously adore the Kardinal Offishall remix now - better than the original?! Perhaps not but after playing the original so much this is a gloriously refreshing change. The beat is just...immense. Crazyhot. I quite want to sex it.
Performance in Sweden:
She was great. The audience sucked though.
Amazing live vocal/performance
But the crowd did suck maja bum
Lady GaGa Just Dance
The Fame
Polydor
January 12 // http://www.myspace.com/ladygaga
I thought a proper thread for this song was necessary. Especially now as it has a UK release date and what not. Sleeper Christmas hit plx?
If the release date changes again I'm giving up LOL
This is ridicuolous. At first, this was the release date for the album, and Just Dance was supposed to be released in December!
Are we actually the last country to get this song?
I NEED this album! haha
I can't wait for this, and to buy the album. I'll get that on it's first day of release.
This is starting to take the p*** now But hopefully it'll stick now. I can see it being quite the hit now it's released in a quiet time of the year, if it gets Radio 1 support then I could see it having a Basshunter 'Now You're Gone' kind of success?
New remixes & a new cover
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=294642554&s=143441
I love this song! Her album is really good. They're saying she's the new Madonna - we'll see.
Whilst everyone else has been loving this for months, i've only really just got into it. I hope this realese date sticks now though.
This song charted, peaked and left my chart already... hurry up and release it here
I think this will do incredible in the UK, and I hope Poker Face does too.
Radio 1 are playing this...
^ YAY. Big hit here we come.
Christina responds to being compared to Lady Gaga
What did you say to those on the Internet who are hinting that you borrowed Lady Gaga’s look?
You know, that’s funny that you mention that. This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn’t sure. I really don’t spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/musi...inutes-wi.html
She did not just say that
Anyway, love this song. Haven't heard it on radio or out yet though. I think it'll be a top 10 hit here but I think we've left it a bit late to catch the wave of the other countries it's had success in, so I don't think number one's going to happen.
Don't know if it's a man or woman? Wtf?!
Silly Christina. Lady GaGa, Lady?
Good to see R1 playing this, hopefully they'll playlist it closer to the realese.
lol at Xtina...what a bimbo!!
and she thinks that a dude wants to be like her and uses her image and on stage with a catwoman wardrobe.
This is finally starting to take off at radio in the U.S. I don't know why it had to take this long...
I think this definitely deserves to do well in the UK!
I can't see this being anything less than a massive UK No.1 in January...
I think you may well be right, i definatly see this being nothing less than a hit now.
I really want Love Game to be released I think its one of the best songs I've ever heard, although this is probably my 2nd best on the album!
According to Amazon, The Fame will be released January 26th.
Just to let you know, it has noe been added to the music channels. I saw it this morning.
Yep, it is. Foul choice.
UK fans listen up!
Looking for a decent bet on a tasty new pop starlet for 2009? Then look no further than Lady GaGa.
Already a chart topper across America, Europe and beyond, Lady GaGa is coming to the UK. Her debut album The Fame and its electro-dancefloor-riot lead single Just Dance land on these shores in early 2009, and she has just been confirmed as the support act for Pussycat Dolls on their UK and Ireland arena dates in January and February 2009. The tour starts in Aberdeen on 18 January, takes in two dates at London's O2 Arena on 27 and 28 January, and ends in Liverpool on 6 February 2009.
The full dates 2009 are:
18 Jan 2009 - AECC Aberdeen
19 Jan 2009 - SECC Glasgow
21 Jan 2009 - Newcastle Arena Newcastle
22 Jan 2009 - NIA Birmingham
24 Jan 2009 - Nottingham Arena Nottingham
25 Jan 2009 - BIC Bournemouth
27 Jan 2009 - O2 Arena London
28 Jan 2009 - O2 Arena London
29 Jan 2009 - MEN Arena Manchester
30 Jan 2009 - Cardiff Arena Cardiff
1 Feb 2009 - O2 Dublin
3 Feb 2009 - Kings Hall, Belfast
5 Feb 2009 - Sheffield Arena Sheffield
6 Feb 2009 - Liverpool Arena Liverpool
"We're very excited to have Lady GaGa as a special guest on this tour," say Pussycat Dolls. "She is a fresh face, creative, talented and exciting and we can't wait so see the fans dancing to her songs each night."

I wish they'd realese Papparazzi, much better than The Fame.
Great news about the PCD tour, will be a great help to her in the UK.
Just saw Just Dance for the first time on the Box today! So pleased it's getting played - it was number 3 on 4music's daily top 10 which is amazing considering it's not released till January!
Can't believe she's supporting PCD I so wanted to go to their concert too!
She must release 'Love Game'. Sooooo good!
No, she must NEVER. That'd be an utterly horrific waste of a single.
Oh no,
It's not anywhere near the best on the album.
Love Just Dance atm, it kinda grew on me very rapidly, rather like Up did.
Can't wait for the Uk version of the album, I'd quite like Again Again to be a single
03 on iTunes Video Chart...
If this sold over 400,000, maybe even 500,000 next year i wouldn't be at all surprised...
Single and album now avaliable to pre-order from HMV!
This is definitely starting to make waves among people I know.

I really hope this does well.
Lady GaGa: The Future of Pop? // The Times
Even in the OTT insanity that is Las Vegas, Lady GaGa stands out a mile. Dressed in a Thierry Mugler-inspired black rubber dress adorned with gold origami pyramids, stupendously long false eyelashes, crystal-encrusted sunglasses and impossibly high heels, she cuts quite a figure as she wanders past the agog gamblers. “This is just how I am all the time,” she shrugs, oblivious to the attention as she prepares to perform at the wonderfully ostentatious Mirage hotel. “You’ll never see me in flip-flops and a T-shirt.”
The surreal city is the perfect setting for a GaGa gig. The Italian-American singer is a perplexing, somewhat camp combination of brash, bright and slightly strange. “It’s the future of pop music,” she insists of tracks such as the excellent new single, Just Dance. Surrounded by four male dancers and brandishing a glow-in-the-dark disco stick, she gamely stagedives into her adoring audience, which tonight includes the R&B superstar Ne-Yo.
Having seen her perform in both Los Angeles and London earlier this year, I can say that her spirited showmanship isn’t reserved only for the bright lights of Sin City. She is just as enthralling at all of her shows, regardless of location. “Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show,” she says of her impressive stage set. “I don’t give a f*** about money. What am I going to do with a condo and a car? I can’t drive.”
In combining music, fashion, art and technology, Lady GaGa evokes Madonna when she was good, Gwen Stefani circa Hollaback Girl, Kylie 2001 or Grace Jones right now. “My art is my whole life,” she says of her “digital age”, multimedia approach to artistry. As well as touring with huge moveable screens that display myriad images, GaGa uploads self-made documentaries to MySpace: “I’ve taken something decidedly commercial and made it interesting.”
Her debut album, The Fame, is indeed just that. Written and co-produced by GaGa, it’s a fantastic mix of Bowie-esque ballads, dramatic, Queen-inspired midtempo numbers and synth-based dance tracks that poke fun at celebrity-chasing rich kids. It’s entertaining, incredibly witty and, above all, captivating.
“I’m defying all of the preconceptions we have of pop artists,” says the 22-year-old with a penchant for Chanel, Gareth Pugh and Marni. “I’m very into fashion — I channel Versace in everything I do. Donatella is my muse in so many ways: she’s iconic and powerful, yet people throw darts at her. She’s definitely provocative, and I channel that more so than anything else.”
There are a lot of other figures being “channelled”, though. Her stage name is a nod to Queen’s Radio Ga Ga, while her ideology is Warholian in essence. She works with a collective called the Haus of GaGa, who collaborate with their muse on clothing, stage sets and sounds. “In this industry, you get a lot of stylists and producers thrown at you, but this is my own creative team, modelled on Warhol’s Factory. Everyone is under 26 and we do everything together.” The point of her pop music, she adds, isn’t merely to entertain, but to provoke response and discussion. “How do I make pop, commercial art be taken as seriously as fine art? That’s what Warhol did,” she says, sipping a green tea an hour before show time. “How do I make music and performances that are thought-provoking, fresh and future? We decide what’s good and, if the ideas are powerful enough, we can convince the world that it’s great.”
GaGa’s success is far from overnight, but after she made a career out of songwriting for other acts, the buzz about her is starting to build. Currently No 5 in the Billboard Hot 100 with Just Dance, she is also the recent recipient of a Grammy nomination. In the UK, she has been tipped in the influential BBC Sound of 2009 poll. If all goes according to her pop masterplan, she is set to be a huge act next year. “I’m filling an enormous hole. There’s a wide-open space for a female with big balls to fill,” the classically trained pianist announces. “I’m here to make great music and inspire people.”
It’s not only GaGa herself and music- industry insiders who are excited. The influential American gossip blogger Perez Hilton predicts she will be “massive” in 2009: “She makes good music, it’s pop with substance. She’s the real deal, the total package.” Another fan is the fashion designer Henry Holland. “Her music is pure, brilliant pop, and I love the fact that she has such an iconic look,” he says. “It’s not very often that someone comes along and looks different and individual . . . I think that’s exciting and inspiring.”
GaGa is apparently already influencing other artists, with numerous blogs gleefully pointing out the similarity of Christina Aguilera’s styling, hair and make-up in recent months. “I’m not sure who this person is, to be honest,” Aguilera sniffed when asked whether she was a fan. “I don’t know if it is a man or a woman.” GaGa, for her part, is unbothered by the backbiting.
“I think she’s very talented and, anyway, look at me: I might as well be a gay man. When I hear comments like that, I’m like, ‘She’s dead on’, because she saw the Warhol in me. Of course it bears a resemblance, but nobody can copy me, because I can’t be copied.”
Lady GaGa is loath to give her real name, insisting friends and family refer to her only by her stage name (“When I make love, they say GaGa”), but some digging reveals she was born Stefani Joanne Germanotta on the Upper West Side (“I am New York, I’m a hustler, I ate dust since I was 15 and I kept going even when I was told no”).
She attended the private Catholic school Convent of the Sacred Heart, whose alumni include the Hilton sisters and Caroline Kennedy. Contrary to popular belief, the song Beautiful, Dirty, Rich isn’t about her former classmate Paris Hilton. “I never saw those girls for more than 10 seconds down the hallways.” Yet it seems the school has had some part in her transformation from fitted blazers to Balenciaga shoes: “I was the arty girl, the theatre chick. I dressed differently and I came from a different social class from the other girls. I was more of an average schoolgirl with a cork.”
That cork eventually popped when she graduated from NYU, where she had studied art. Her entrepreneur father was, unsurprisingly, shocked when his daughter ran off to the Lower East Side to dabble in drugs and appear in burlesque shows at dive bars with drag queens and go-go dancers. “He couldn’t look at me for a few months,” she admits of her early experimentations. “I was in leather thongs, so it was hard for him — he just didn’t understand. But my parents saw me getting better, and now my father cries when he sees me perform.”
The drugs disappeared around the same time as her act began to take serious shape. “I had a scary experience one night and thought I might die,” GaGa remembers. “I woke up, but it helped me become the person I am. I see things in quite a fragmented, psychotic manner, which I think is because of that. But I decided it was more important to become a centred, critical thinker. That was more powerful than the drug itself.”
Refining her act in downtown Manhattan, she signed to Def Jam at the age of 19, but was dropped shortly after. “It just wasn’t for them,” she says nonchalantly. She was spotted a couple of years later by the music executive Vincent Herbert and signed to Interscope in January 2008. Impressed by her ear for melody and knack for spotting a great hook, various acts — Akon’s Konvict label, as well as Fergie, the Pussycat Dolls, Britney and New Kids on the Block — have hired her as a songwriter.
Now, though, her music is surpassing those she provided hits for. With plenty of hype surrounding GaGa, only time will tell whether she will take over planet pop — or fizzle without trace. Either way, there’s no doubt she is currently the genre’s most interesting proposition. “If people think GaGa is over the top and decadent now, I’m afraid for them, they have no idea what’s to come,” she laughs, contemplating her future. “I eat, sleep, breathe and bleed every inch of my work. I’d absolutely die if I couldn’t be an artist.”
I'm really loving this song at the moment. It's so catchy, It's just made my chart. The intro reminds me of Afraid from Nelly Furtado. I think it'll do really good because she's got that whole weird look going on which will get a few people interested
Lady GaGa is by far going to be one of the biggest new acts in the UK next year
i lvoe her music!!
I got given a Just Dance promo CD by a DJ last night. I recommend the HCCR's Bambossa main mix. @D
It's so weird to see this getting such massive success when last May when we were all beginning to listen to it and thought it would get nowhere. I've never seen such weird success as this song.
Heard it twice on the radio in the last half hour!
Download date really needs to be brought forward to December 29th. That rubbish cover version is in the iTunes top 100 at the minute and as soon as the Christmas songs clear it'll climb and steal Gaga's sales! Ruude.
The relesea definatly needs to be brought forward a bit to capitalise on the best posistion possible.
The download is out on the 28th. Only 5 days away...
Oh! That's good then. Silly me!
I really hope this goes to #1, and I hope Poker Face has similar success when its released. I'm absolutely in love with the latter atm.
I have a feeling that this will go to #1 for about 2 weeks, but I think Poker Face will have longer.
I don't think Poker face will be incredibly successful tbh...
I reckon Poker Face will do well too... #1 in Australia for four (?) weeks, gone to #1 in New Zealand and Canada too and is doing well across Europe too. Of course, that doesn't always translate to how well something will do in the UK (La Tortura for example!) but I still reckon it'll go top five here.
I love love game =] Hopefully just dance will be number one! everytime i go out on a night out, i hear poker face numerous times! The gays love it haha
Just Dance now avaliable on iTunes!
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore...00&s=143444
Yay.
One question. Is the Colby O Donis miles slower than the non Colby O Donis version cause everytime I see the video, JD seems as slow as a Gabriella song but the version on my local radio station is miles faster (non Colby version). The slow version is completely gross and I hate the JD video gosh Poker Face is leaps better if you compare it to Colby and that video. .
#44 on iTunes o:
Don't worry, it'll probably be a sleeper hit
I reckon it'll take off BIG TIME over the next week...I just hope it can do it in time to get number 1 though
Up to 26
#20 now. Time for GaGa fever to sweep the nation.
#1 PLZ!
Up to #19.
#11 currently. Going well.
She'll be performing 'Just Dance' on The Sunday Night Project in the New Year...
That should/will help the song quite a bit actually!
Sunday Night Project eh> Reckon she'll do some club dates during her visit? Or is it just a pre taped performance shipped in from somewhere else? I really hope she does some when she comes with the pussycat dolls, cause I can't afford to go see them but I'm desperate for gaga!!
#11's brilliant, doing fantastic so far
#11 is good, but I thought it would be Top 5 by now. I'm not sure about it reaching #1 next week now.
Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet, but...
Just Dance is #1 on iTunes!
With a whopping great lead aswell. Now outselling Alex 2:1
Just Dance debuts at #3!
Hope it's #1 next week! She did a great performance of this on Ellen:
Fabulous performance!
GaGa's on the Sunday Night Project in a fortnight too!
The Ellen performance is okay. I don't like this new "cocaine dress" styled GaGa. I prefered her more mysterious headscarves and sunglasses look. Also the new dancers are a bit poo and the whole picking her up thing in the second verse looks somewhat clumsy. Best part of the Ellen performance = "How ya doin' Ellen?".
The NRJ performance is one of my favourites:
That and the 'So You Think You Can Dance?' one...
#1 in midweeks with sales of 19k yesterday. At the moment it's 7k in front of #2.
This is a very strong contender for my #1 this week. I don't know who to pick.
Thrilled to see it doing so well!
The best #01 since 'Umbrella' for me

dont forget to vote for YES lol
I voted yes.
i wonder how The Fame will do next week? i hope it does well and she isn't seen as just a singles act
She is doing so well in the UK, hope the album sells BUCKETLOADS.
To be honest I have my doubts about the album. I haven't really seen any promo for it. I do hope I'm proven wrong though.
Yeah, I reckon the album might perform similarly to how it did in the USA to start with. The single has only just got here and there doesn't seem to be much promo, I don't know if people will be convinced to buy a whole album from her after one single. I hope her album performs more like Adele's than Estelle's.
Has she any UK promo lined up other than Sunday Night Project?
I'm sure she does but nothings been said yet. She should do though seeing she's in the UK for the whole of January
Well they would start promo for it about now, so I wouldn't be to sure that thay won't do anything for it.
The album is Number 4 in http://hmv.com/hmvweb/navigate.do?ctx=1000;-1;-1;-1;-1&pPageID=2681&WT.ac=A_WEBSITE_HOME_PAGE_MAG-LHTMN-Chart_Menu-albums+pre-order+chart behind:
Alexandra Burke, Eminem & 50 Cent ()
I'm really hoping the album can debut at #1.
Live on the Jay Leno show. Now with live band, backing singers and a minimalist vocal approach o: Very rocky.
Nice new outfit too...
Just Dance is the first new no.1 of 2009 in the uk & us.
I loved the new version on Leno with the live band. Her hair looked great, not keen on the outfit though. The top half was fine but the bottom was very odd and strange. Love the way it ended.
The album is #1 on the Irish iTunes already!
Poker Face is #12 on Ireland iTunes hopefully a similar success on UK
I'll be happy enough if the album can debut in the top 10 in the UK. It will be an album that sells big over time, she has plenty of hits on it and 'Poker Face' will be absolutely mega.
Having listened to the album via Spotify I think it is the best pop album I've listened to since Britney Spears Blackout album. It is stocked full of future hit singles.
The album is avaliable on iTunes!
At the moment it's only #69 on iTunes, and Poker Face isn't in the Top 120.
I *hope* Poker Face takes off over here. I'm sure it will once JD has died. I hope it follows the trend of it's WW success. It's already starting to make waves in the US.
Count me in as another one who thinks this album is a great pop record. I hope Paparazzi gets a release.
I was really intrigued to listen to Poker Face since everyone hyped it as being better than Just Dance (which I love by the way) and I was really disappointed and thought it was a bit worthy...
I think I like Poker Face more than Just Dance now, my top faves are
Poker Face
Just Dance
Summerboy
Paparazzi
Lovegame
I love most though!
Fantastic to see Just Dance got to #1, knew it would get there in the end.
Hopefully the album will reach the top 5
Lady GaGa forum is qualified for gettin AF in Buzzjack, but what we need now is your votes again ...please vote for her and not for duffy

I voted for the forum.
By the way, The Fame is #2 on iTunes whilst Poker Face is #34.
#4 in midweeks, not my #1 prediction then.
Hmm, #4 is ok i guess. Actually, it's rather good considering the likes of Katy Perry opened at lower posistions though they were out at a stronger point in the year.
#4 is brilliant, be happy. I was just hoping this would get a top 10 debut really, as it's obviously going to sell big over time.
On course for 75k this week according to the mids...
Is GaGa doing any tv performance for the album in the UK. I know she has
t4 Jan18th
Sunday Night Project Jan 18th
Is that all?
The Fame has a new peak of #14 in the US.
Clip of a new song leaked called "Fashion"
That's a Heidi Montag cover. How SHAMEFUL/LESS.
Bah, didn't read properly and I thought the full version had leaked. I don't like the original that much but it seems to work when GaGa does it based on the clip.
GaGa was on GMTV this morning. Singing live and she was great:
http://www.gm.tv/index.cfm?articleid=32858
I'm glad they changed the routine and ditched the guys picking her up in the second verse. It was very messy, this one is a lot better.
Damn missed it. Thanks for posting.
Good performance, bless her for not correcting the stupid cow who said it was called "Let's Dance".
Fantastic performance! Her voice sounds really good on it too, the interview bit at the start was kinda cringey though.
Irish Charts:
Just Dance - 1
The Fame - 8
Poker Face - 8
T4 performance:
Great performance, loved the outfit. Can't wait for Sunday Night Project tonight!
Yeah that's going to be fantastic. Wonder if she'll do Poker Face too?
Poker Face debuts at #30 and The Fame debuts at #3.
Just Dance has a second week at #1!
Anyone see the parody?? LMFAO!
She was amazing on Sunday Night Project! Annoying how they cut her off before she'd even finished though. The programme is pre-recorded so there are no excuses, they should make time to include the guest's whole performance.
The SNP performance was rubbish. Bland. What happened to the interesting intros and proper use of the glasses? The headscarves and latex? She's so in your face, average pop star now. Her performances aren't interesting anymore. Tis a shame.
The 'Just Dance' Spoof...
The parody was brilliant. Just Dance was a decent performance. I think she was bound by space a little bit. But her wearing the glasses at all, and her playing (well, miming) of the keyboard means she's not the ordinary, run of the mill popstar. I've been discussing with my BF whether or not she's the new Madonna (I think she's too savvy and stylised at this stage of her career)...
^Massive LOL at that. What was Lady GaGa's reaction LOL?
Easily the best live performance she's ever done.
she is definately mixing it up, recently she has been holding a mic which doesn't give her the freedom to really dance and go for it with both arms. anyway if i was to tweak it i would have her early red hood look with a fixed head mic and dark shades, with the intro music she had on Rove wearing the screen specs and include the talking she did on SYTYCD "Pop Music Will Never Be Low Brow". C4 have no clue about editing, they missed the skirt rip and T4 was a mess. there is a lot going on in her performance so you don't need fast cuts and swooping camera angles
In midweeks, Just Dance is #1, The Fame is #3 and Poker Face is Top 25.
This week, Just Dance falls to #2 after 3 weeks at the top, The Fame is a non-mover at #4, Poker Face falls 2 places to #28 and Paparazzi climbs to #95.
I think Just Dance will probably go Gold this week. This could be the biggest selling single of 2009!
That's going to be amazing!
Can't wait for that ^
I read that they'd be collaborating with someone, but I never thought Lady GaGa, even though it is the most obvious + best choice.
Wow, this will be incredible
WOO. A reason to actually watch The Brits this year then!
The Fame is down to #13 this week. It should climb back into the Top 10 next week after the Brits.
Just Dance is a non-mover at #2 this week:
3-1-1-1-2-2-2-
I think Poker Face needs to be moved forward as I want it to go top 5, Although Number 1 would be brillant
The Fame is at #4 in midweeks, despite falling to #13 last week.
And Poker Face is top 20
Just Dance is at #2 and Poker Face is #16 in the Almost Saturday Chart.
I love Lady GaGa....she is the new madonna!!
By the way, is this not the best performance of Just Dance you ever saw?
Sorry I'll try that again...
Finally found that edit without Colby O'Donis I've been raving about.
What's so weird is that I never heard the Colby O'Donis version until the music video came out late last year, so for months I thought it was only a version with just GaGa because that was the edit released for airplay here in South Africa in like May last year.
Anyways it's the HCCR Bamboosa remix, a masterpiece. Prefer it by miles over the original <3 Lots of cut out verses, much much more faster and no screaming Colby and Akon in the background
#22 in the UK.
^ <3 that remix, but prefer the original!
Performance on Dancing With The Stars-
One of my fav JD performances
One of the best performances for the song.
Loved it. Not feeling the hair and annoying audience again.
#32 in the UK.
Short interview and performance on a Japanese music station:
I prefer her hair long.
Yeah, I agree.
Basically as each 'hair era' passes I want them back more and more.

GaGa performing at the Marc Jacobs Fashion Show After Party where she was also hanging out with apparent new bff, Madonna. Acoustic of Just Dance is extraordinary and her outfit exquisite. ♥

Nominated at Q Awards:
Best Video
The Dead Weather - 'Treat Me Like Your Mother'
Dizzee Rascal - 'Holiday'
Florence & The Machine - 'Drumming Song'
Mika - 'We Are Golden'
Lady GaGa - 'Just Dance'
Also nominated for Breakthrough Artist. Awards take place October 25.
Indeed. Flabbergasted at Mikas nomination. Creepiest/worst video of the year it wins hands down.
It is nearly 10 years since 'Just Dance' come out,
The song that introduced us to Lady GaGa and featured Colby O'Donis, this was co-written by rapper Akon and was produced by RedOne. This was a #1 in the UK, US and in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands.
What are your views on this now?
Not one of her best songs for me.
BUT it’s special in the sense that it turned her into a star, gave her a #1 and changed her life.
She’s definitely topped this numerous times since though.
I actually think it’s the one Gaga single what could’ve been sung by someone else (aside from the opening line when she literally says Gaga) it doesn’t have that typical Gaga feel tracks like Poker Face and Bad Romance had.
Happy 12th birthday to the OG single!
How do you feel about the single today?
A classic for sure
One she’s bettered many times since but I still have a love for it and i really love watching the video back too looking at what happened as a result of this to get her to where she is now.
I didn’t hear this until much later in 2008 but from around November of that year I was obsessed
Still one of my faves of hers!
Happy birthday 'Just Dance' today I found an old 2009 UK chart online where 'Poker Face' was at its 3rd week at #1, 'The Fame' had climbed back to #1 in the albums and 'Just Dance' was still riding high in the top 15! Ahhh the memories of being a stan during that crazily successful era
So crazy looking back through this thread and all the memories!
Whatever happened to Colby O'Donis though? I literally never heard his name ever again after this.
A very underrated song within the fanbase tbh!
This is still a fun little bop! Her early performances were a joy to watch - I dunno if she enjoys performing this anymore that much though
It's the song which started it all for her so I'd imagine this will hold a special place in her heart
ALSO I love that the message of her first ever release was just dance and that's the exact same message she is sending out now with Chromatica - dance and music can heal. IT'S GONNA BE OK <3
YES that is true!!
LMAO at those video noms at Q Awards
Today in 2008:
Chills.
300 million views on Youtube!
Just Dance went viral on TikTok and its streams are blowing up on Spotify! The daily streams of the song increased by 100k compared to 3 weeks ago.
09/19: 308,856,579 (+318,291)
This Friday: 315,363,369 (+413,437)
The longevity. Coming for DIAMOND!
Yass viral success coming through
316,037,669 (+674,300)
OMG
261k more than yesterday, the biggest update of this song to date & almost entered the Global Top 200 on Spotify!
SMAAASSSHHHHHHHHH
Hope The Fame can re-enter the album charts again
lol
OMFG
I couldn't find the proper single thread, if there is one, but JD is trending on Tiktok!
Another viral smash incoming!
Yay thanks for finding the thread! It got over 500k Spotify streams on 31st of Dec already, as part of NY parties but still.
What happened to Colby?? He probably canet believe GaGa smashed and he flopped when they both debuted with the same single.
I originally thought Colby O'Donis was a DJ and the producer of the track.
Must be around about this time 12 years ago it reached UK #1?
I can't believe how long ago it was.

Viral smash incoming
12 YEARS?! Jesus Christ!!!! I didn't realise it had been so long People who were just babies or maybe even not even born when that was released will now be in secondary school!! 12 years of GaGa
For a very long time I thought that in the beginning Akon says "Colby" not "Konvict"
Also, imagine thinking that after JD and whatever his own hit was, I was thinking for a second that Colby could become the bigger star of the two That changed with Poker Face obvs
I think it's been a bit of MORE BOP than usual recently for me
I remember Gaga was being hyped for a while in the entertainment section of the newspapers though even before Just Dance entered the chart as the next big star (along with Little Boots and Ellie Goulding).
Just Dance was the first I knew of her and I had no idea she would be the global star she is today or that she'd become my all-time fave

Wow another big increase
This would do well as a re-release when the virus is over and the clubs are open again, tbh. The first one was a big hit as people partied more to stop thinking about the credit crunch, and after the virus people will want to go back to normality as much as possible, suh as going clubbing.
Not her re-releasing her debut / one of the best selling songs ever !
Look at those streams!! If it did 300k in the UK, it would even beat Cheesy Ed to no.1!!
It's increasing a lot. It'll get to 400m pretty quick at this rate!

RE-RELEASE NOW!!
For me, this is the first song that plays when finishing Chromatica on Spotify. Could it cause the boost a bit?
Oooh does it!? that could be a good factor too but not sure if that's different for different users? (I don't use Spotify so can't comment x)
It might be different to each user.
And what a 12 years it has been! She has (yet again) one of the biggest performances of her career coming up in 3 days too! Legend.

OMG the best update this year!!! COME THROUGH VIRAL SMASH
13 years ago!!!!!!!
Omg happy 13th birthday to the birth of my icon
That progress is simply HUGE
Where has the time gone!? Look at what she's achieved in those 13 years too, proud
Mess @ that tweet not mentioning Born This Way though
They didn't mention everything, that's why they said "including".
it was odd at the time colby o'donnis was on this and it felt like it was the labels attempt to launch him and Gaga... but... he literally did nothing after?
This hit #1 in the US on this day in 2009! Total US sales stand at over 7.2 million now
Also PF had its biggest day of 2022
14 whole years! Iconic
Rewatching the music video for this and honestly... name a more iconic debut onto the pop world (Britney aside x)
From the 00s onwards only Lil Nas X comes close.
+530,367 on Spotify, massive!!
Apparently this is going semi viral on TikTok. Hope it boosts the original too.
What's caused that Viral TikTok smash please
I think it's just organic growth as the tour has sparked the re-interest towards her music. Great to see! It is still behind Bad Romance on daily streams globally even though BR does not chart anywhere.
its fascinating that Colby was on this and then just disappeared?
He had another hit as well but I guess nothing after?
600 million!
Another Tiktok trend?
Can't believe someone needs to Shazam JD
591k on Spotify on Friday. Soon her second most streamed track there?
It overtook Bad Romance for the first time ever!
Amazing! Can't believe it's overtaken Bad Romance even if it is just for a day.
This keeps on growing on things like Shazam etc so expecting the numbers to stay high for now. Can't believe it's doing bigger numbers than the likes of Poker Face/Bad Romance etc
Glad to see it growing, so it can reach 800m quicker and joining the other girlies: Rain On Me, Poker Face, Shallow, Bad Romance and ARUTW!
Rising on Shazam
692k on Spotify on Friday - best day ever!

Great article indeed, didn't know that Akon was featured on the original version but Universal didn't allow him to appear on the record in the ebd.
And for that I'm actually really glad!
Agree 100%
Such a brilliant article! Thanks for sharing <3
This was played at a party and everyone loved it. A classic
This was her 4th most streamed track on Spotify on Tuesday, surpassing Bloody Mary.
This has surpassed 800M streams on Spotify. Her 6th song to do it
Certified TRIPLE PLATINUM in the UK
Massive!
I can't celebrate today.
Oh that's fierce!
The advert is probably helping this to chart on Shazam
#115 Russia
#132 Thailand
#142 Taiwan
#145 Sweden
#151 Philippines
#153 Denmark
#179 Indonesia
This will reach 900 million on Spotify by the end of November, so that's probably 1 billion early next year! Keep in mind it's a very strong New Years Eve hit.
Re-enters the Spotify chart in Latvia (#198).
This did super well on Spotify on Tuesday:
#151 Austria
#178 Germany
#187 Belgium
#192 Latvia
+896,785 streams
900 million streams on Spotify
It is expected to cross 1 billion streams early next year.
This is going to reach 1 billion on Spotify in March if it keeps up the current daily streaming numbers.
Can't believe it has been 15 years since I first heard this. I thought this is gonna be a massive hit.
I guess this was the AM choice for NYE playlists because:
Apple Music:
#139 Ireland
#163 Finland

This was #1 in the UK 15 years ago! Time flies!
15 years! It goes by so quick. I can still remember this time so vividly.
A time to be alive!
My life genuinely changed from this point forward
Even as a child I’d loved the charts and specific artists but it was nothing compared to what was about to come my way.
On its way to hit 1 billion on Spotify in March.
Forever anthem
Spotify:
#164 Slovakia
#199 Czech Republic
#200 Germany
If this takes off in Germany, it will give a big boost on Spotify. It did 76k there on Saturday.
1 billion on Spotify NEXT WEEK, most likely on Friday/Saturday.
Another one thank yew!
A billion streams, blooming fantastic!!
