Strong competition and it was released late in the chart week:

 

Meanwhile global superstar Lady Gaga’s new single Born This Way is straight in at number three selling a phenomenal 60,000 copies plus in just 34 hours.

If it was released at the start of the chart week it would've debuted at #1 easily with over 100k sales.

So happy to see "Shallow" getting such a massive boost. I think it's going to rise to #1 in the US with the massive sales and streaming boost. It would be amazing if it happened!!! I have my fingers crossed. :cheer:

 

 

That's so frustrating she didn't release at the start of the week! :(

It's a shame because anyone who sees that chart stat will just assume it wasn't as popular as her #1's when at the time it was highly anticipated. It's the same with Adele's Skyfall. People will see it peaked at #2 and scratch their heads. :lol:

Back up to #11 in the UK this week :cheer:

Peaks are often confusing with the GP as people who don’t follow the charts will just assume that number one means most popular but there’s instances where that’s not always the case.

 

I’d imagine if Madonna’s number one singles was a quiz topic or something many people would name Holiday and Like A Virgin as being number ones when they weren’t but they did outsell pretty much every one of her number ones bar Into The Groove.

 

Katy’s UK number ones would probably also confuse the GP as well as most would assume Firework went all the way.

 

Of Arianas 5 number ones as well I bet most would think One Last Time and No Tears were amongst those.

 

I think most artists have that huge single or singles that miss number one but are seen as being signature to them and then they have number one singles that pass people by.

 

Bad Romance is Gagas example of that in the US where as in the UK it’s Born This Way.

Shallow back up to #1 in Australia, nearly 4 months since it was last there *.*

Really hoping Gaga can get that Billboard Hot 100 number one this week!

Hoping for #1 too but again its success is has just been stupendously huge so this would just be another bonus!

Billboard posted an article about the song vying for #1 and usually when billboard do that for a song it means that it's going to #1... Not to get too confident, but I think she is going to get there! :cheer:

Yup, pretty much on lock now. What an amazing achievement.

 

It also went #1 in Norway this week, new peak in France at #3, Germany at #8, also up to #3 in Italy (#2 previous peak), #2 in Sweden (already spent 8 weeks at #1) etc.

 

 

So does BraGa have the Hot 100 #1 sewn up?

It's looking very likely, yes.

 

Their strong download numbers (approx 115k) and the fact that they increased hugely across all metrics will almost definitely swing it for them.
