I have to say when i first heard born this way and for a few listens after that i liked it but didnt think it was anything special, but i love it now especially the live performance at the grammys really sold it for me, its grown on me so much since and i love it now, its not as good as poker face or bad romance but they will always be very hard to top.

This

Yep 2 videos is gonna help a lot!

And just love all those charity actions by GaGa! Such an iconic artist!

Ahh so its selling amazingly well then ^_^

 

And 1,000,000 is not uncommon for America so its not a massive hit yet, if it hits 4,000,000 then it will be :D

Well considering it's sold near a million in less than 2 weeks is very impressive, and does give the impression it will be a massive hit...

What if the sales fail to hold up? They could crash the next week. I doubt they will but it an't sustain them sales forever can it?

She's still at the top of US iTunes more than two weeks after it was released despite no video, so there's no way her sales are going to collapse anytime soon, she's already bucking the normal trend. Plus, she's getting fantastic airplay; despite the fact that her first few days of immense airplay are now no longer counted towards her AI, she's already gaining again. So it looks like she will be #1 over there for a while, especially with the video out on monday, and it's looking likely it will be one of, if not the, biggest hits of the year in the US.

Amazing :wub:

Born This Way Music video:

The video was shot the weekend of January 22–24, 2011, and is described to be a "profound, so inspiring and so incredibly beautiful" music video. The video was directed by Nick Knight. Make up artist Billy Brasfield, who works with Gaga on all of her videos, described the clip as “the most amazing thing ever," and cried upon his first view.The music video will be released on Monday, February 28 at 11:00 a.m.(aprox)

 

In an interview with Billboard, Gaga described the video saying, "It . . . looks completely different than everything I've ever done [...] it is the birth of the new race. Really deep stuff."

 

A second music video featuring an acoustic version of the song will be released on iTunes at a later date. The proceeds generated by it will go anti-bully organizations.

 

i dont have high hopes for the video
