It's been seven whole years since we arranged a survivor for Lady Gaga's magnum opus Born This Way. Released in May 2011, it topped the charts worldwide and has since regained the reputation as Gaga's best album. Rolling Stone named it as one of the 500 Greatest Albums Ever in 2020 clap.gif

In November 2022, an album track Bloody Mary became a huge viral sensation after it was attached in Wednesday Addams related TikTok dance trend. The song has charted in several countries as the unofficial 6th single from the album - 11 years later! With that, plus mini-viral sensation Judas and the evergreen LGBTQ+ themed title track, Born This Way recently even re-entered the US album chart.

How do YOU rank the songs on the International Version after all these years, let's find out!

OUT on Round 7:

9 (7) Heavy Metal Lover [5 votes / 29.41%]
---
10 (10) Yoü and I [6 votes / 40.00%]
11 (11) Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) [11 votes / 50.00%]
12 (16) The Queen [6 votes / 30.00%] - after tie-break
13 (15) Black Jesus + Amen Fashion [5 votes / 29.41%]
13 (14) Fashion of His Love [5 votes / 29.41%]
15 (13) Electric Chapel [4 votes / 25.00%]
16 (17) Bad Kids [4 votes / 12.50%]
17 (12) Americano [7 votes / 21.88%]


Another fairly tight round, but with 5/17 votes Heavy Metal Lover has to leave the survivor. It did a bit worse than in 2015 when it finished 7th. I think this result was about right - the song has never been a huge favourite but also not really disliked. On Spotify, it's the 11th most streamed on the album.

Round 8: Pick your least favourite track again.

The 8th round will be open until Sunday 5th of February.

Also gone for Hair! Still a great song though and I feel like it has a spiritual successor in the Fun Tonight remix.

Government Hooker this time, though I’m tempted to switch to one of the singles.

Hair was a no.1 waiting to happen, like TGIF by Katy Perry. Bloody Mary and Judarse were not laugh.gif

I'm sure it was loved on the site - what happened? I'll have to check previous rate results to see but I am sure I remember it being a fan favourite on the site. It certainly is outside of the forum so I assumed it was here too sad.gif

I don't think dropping two spots from the previous survivor is that drastic, but would be interesting to see if it did better on rates.
