Well that's it guys we have officially come to the end of Lady Gaga's Fave Singles Poll. After months of voting and eliminations here are the final results below. The final battle consisted of Poker Face vs Bad Romance, both of which are stunning masterpieces of genre defining pop music that not only sound just as fresh and exciting as they were back then, but each are still just as loved and highly regarded as they were back then , marking an important milestone in the ever changing landscape of pop music.

Poker Face ranks in the runner spot with just 8 votes to win in a not so close final battle, but has remained consistently popular throughout each round. The track was released in September 2008 as the 2nd single from Gaga's studio album 'The Fame' and follows in the footsteps of her previous single 'Just Dance', but with a much darker and compelling tone. The song revolves around bisexuality, and was a tribute by Gaga to her rock and roll boyfriends. Its lyrics feature various sexual innuendos. Upon being released, "Poker Face" was acclaimed by most critics, who praised the song's robotic hook and chorus. Commercially, it topped the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Scotland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With over 14 million copies sold, "Poker Face" is one of the world's best-selling singles ever and became the best-selling single of 2009 worldwide with over 9.8 million in sales that year alone. Out of the 5 times I have done these polls starting way back in 2014, this song has finished in the runner up spot 3 times and has never ranked lower than 3rd place.

Bad Romance ranks as the Winner here for the 5th time with a whopping 18 votes to win and yet again proves to be the perfect choice to cap everything off on an almighty high. A brilliantly bizarre and avant-garde pop masterpiece that forever changed the landscape of modern pop music. Released in October 2009 as the lead single from Gaga's EP 'The Fame Monster', a reissued edition of her debut album. Musically, it is an electropop, dance-pop and dark pop track with a spoken bridge and a hook featuring nonsense syllables. Inspired by German house and techno music, the song was developed as an experimental pop record. Lyrically, Gaga drew from the paranoia she experienced while on tour and wrote about her attraction to unhealthy romantic relationships. Upon release the song received widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised its chorus, beat and hook. Commercially, the song was a global success, topping the record charts in more than 20 countries. It peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified eleven-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold 5.9 million digital downloads as of 2019. "Bad Romance" has sold 12 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and was included in annual "best-of" lists of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork; the former named it one of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century and 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
