I also just checked YT views and Alejandro has more views than Telephone even if it's only by 40 million!!!
FYI that's only because 'Telephone' has split versions! The censored version has 358m views and the explicit has 100m (compared to 391m for 'Alejandro'). According to the current averages on Kworb, 'Telephone' is slowly catching up too (while the explicit version is gaining almost nothing, despite seemingly not being age-restricted like I thought it might be). 'Alejandro' does have some audio uploads with decent views (understandably given the video length) but so does 'Telephone'.

 

Spotify tells the same story - 'Telephone' has 286m plays and 'Alejandro' has 172m, and the ratio has if anything been slightly growing over the years (in 2015 'Alejandro' was at 85% of 'Telephone', and in the last 3 years it's gradually slipped from 70% to 60%). I have a graph of her bigger 2008-2013 singles' Spotify playcounts over time, in proportion to 'Bad Romance', that I've made before for my own interest (and updated now):

i.e. at the start of the graph 'Applause' had 135m plays and 'Bad Romance' had 131m (putting 'Applause' at 103% of 'Bad Romance'), and now they have 240m and 407m plays respectively (putting 'Applause' at 59%). 'Poker Face' did manage to overtake 'Bad Romance' at some point in 2019 after being just behind it for so long, but it was short-lived.

 

Anyway, 'Marry The Night' is my favourite but they're both excellent options :wub: I think 'Marry The Night' would have a slight chance of struggling whereas 'Alejandro' would be 100% guaranteed, but I expect 'Marry The Night' would likely be fine.

Is it overrated!? I always thought it was underrated against her massive #1 smashes etc! :o This is a take I haven't seen really on here. The fans at the time weren't really here for it over DITD and Monster etc for example.

 

I think it’s underrated in the fan base but the GP are here for it. Where as Marry The Night I think it’s the opposite.

 

I’m still Team Alejandro though. So glad she fought to push it as a single too god tier Gaga :heart:

Not looking like it's going to make my votes... H O W E V E R... I've grown to really appreciate it?! I dunno if it was the weather or what but it didn't rank as low as I originally expected!
Love that this competition has got me listening to Alejandro again it’s perfect for the sunny weather, reminds of being in Florida as it was alll over radio when we were there 😍
I'm gravitating towards Rain On Me, it's fresh in people's minds, loved, and would bank a past hit for another round *.*

Finished... 7th in my rankings! :drama:

 

I'm SO sorry! :cry:

 

6-10 were more or less level headed for me :drama:

100% all in on Rain On Me

ROUND 10: A remix, bonus track or B-side

SO what remixes do we have?

 

Country Road version of Born This Way

Telephone (Electrolightz Remix) - this was a great discovery for me

Any other options - or which of the three above do we stan?
