Lol at that picture with Queen B, in which you cannot see her face.

 

I have always loved the Grammy performance, it was rather simple, but the choreo was SO tight and love the dancers taking off their clothes at the end, to show how they were 'born this way' (although, I did notice now that all the dancers are wearing 'nude' colours (as in they are 'naked' aka born that way) but that does not reflect the skin tone of the black dancers at all.. weird).

I am sure I read somewhere that a lot of this was changed just days before the performance so the Haus had to work overdrive to get it all sorted? Could that have been the reason for this? Either way they pulled it off phenomenally!

The Jay Leno interview is very cute, Gaga is so warm. I miss interviews like this :heart:

Gaga interviewed on Ryan Seacrest's radio show and confirms 'Judas' as second single

 

Initially mentioned in an interview with Vogue magazine, during an interview with Ryan Seacrest and Carson Daly on February 15th, Gaga confirmed that the name of the 2nd single would be 'Judas' and that it would be released "a few weeks" before the album.

Viral smash in 2020-21 incoming she knew it

Judas was a bad choice, TEOG would've gone number #1 everywhere for sure.

Yeah I know it's a "fan-favourite" but for this era and how there were about 10 single choices on the album.. Judas is so far down my options for what should have been a single, let alone SECOND single :drama:

I LOVE 'Judas' but I think it was clear from the very week 'The Edge of Glory' was first released as a promo single that it should have been second single.

This era was such a serve. I remember livestreaming the grammys for the performance of BTW late at night and remember her egg enterance. :snif:

 

"The Edge Of Glory" should've been another #1 for her if they handled it better tbh. :(

'Born This Way' debuts at #1 on the Hot 100 ~ February 14th 2011

 

Born This Way debuts on top of the Billboard Hot 100.

 

Here is Billboard's article on the achievement on this day 10 years ago:

 

Lady Gaga Claims 1,000th Hot 100 No. 1 with 'Born This Way'

And you thought her entrance at the Grammy Awards was attention-getting.

 

By storming the Billboard Hot 100 song chart at No. 1, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" makes history as the 1,000th leading song in the list's 52-year history.

 

"It is a tremendous honor," Gaga tells Billboard of the milestone. "To be the 1000th no. 1 on Billboard...I would be silly not to say this is the greatest honor of my career."

 

"I am so humbled and so honored and overwhelmed by the reception to 'Born This Way,' " Gaga adds. "[it] has been so life changing for me as an artist, and between Billboard and the international number ones and the radio numbers...I couldn't be more blessed to have the fans that I have."

 

Fittingly for such a milestone, the first single and title track from Lady Gaga's third album, due May 23, arrives in record-breaking fashion.

 

On Radio Songs, the Hot 100's airplay component chart, "Born This Way" begins at No. 6 with a first-week audience of 78.5 million. That's the highest bow and largest opening airplay figure for a song since the tally began incorporating all radio formats in December 1998.

 

The arrival of "Born This Way" bests the previous debut record on Radio Songs, set when Janet Jackson's "All for You" soared in at No. 9 with 70 million in 2001.

 

With opening-week digital sales of 448,000, "Born This Way" likewise breaks barriers with the largest debut sum for a female artist. Britney Spears established the prior mark four weeks ago upon, the arrival of "Hold It Against Me" (411,000).

 

The opening of "Born" marks the third-largest debut among all digital tracks. Flo Rida's "Right Round" started with 636,000 in February 2009 and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" with 465,000 two months later.

 

Notably, "Born This Way" rewrites airplay and digital history after just five days of availability at radio and three days at online retailers.

 

The song is also just the 19th title to debut at No. 1 in the Hot 100's history.

The 1000th #1 in the US and what a way to do it. Absolutely smashed it in only a few days, breaking records left, right and centre.

Iconic moment of pop culture and chart history!

 

Wish the US radio would play her new singles that much lol

The radio numbers were INSANE :drama: UK radio was huge for her during the last era but yeah, the US will never match these dizzying heights again :snif:
