The performance was pre-recorded. She sang live, but did the performance a couple of hours/days before and then it was just shown on the night. AI will be huge!! With only 4 days till the album release in the US, the anticipation will be huge!! 1M here we come!!

Has there been any news on when the stripped-down version of BTW will be up?? That would surely impact sales hugely if a separate version is released to iTunes.

Adele down to #4 behind BTW, S&M and Blow...

BTW #4

Not this week, but next week is looking hopeful :)

I reckon... 60k this week, 450k overall.

Well, you can never please everyone. I think she'll climb on iTunes.

I don't think GaGa was at her best then. For a start Bad Romance sh*ts on everything Poker Face ever was.

I like the video. Her 3rd best in my opinion, after BR and Paparazzi. As for her body... :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: On point...

Perhaps they'll include bits of the intro. I think the actual video is brilliant in parts though, particularly the skeleton scene.

I have to just say it again... Her body is ON POINT!! And the skeleton scene... :wub:

Rewatch, hahaa. I'm not sure, but the birth bit looks a bit like the birth of a Dalek or something... I'd say... BR > Paparazzi > BTW > PF > Telephone > Just Dance > LoveGame > Eh Eh > Alejandro

Hahaa, did you like it??

Do you reckon music video channels will just cut the intro??

HER BODY :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: Hopefully it'll climb :)

I don't see it, personally. She's already beginning to decrease and GaGa should keep the #1 for a few more weeks to come. Top 5 is still amazing for her though!!

GaGa has HUGE airplay at the minute, though, J-Lo will be lucky to go Top 5 on sales alone and without significant airplay.

She was never really Top 100 though, she was hovering around #110-120.

Thanks :)

GaGa's videos usually have a big effect though. Telephone went from Top 15 to #1 on its release. I think the success of this song will be determined by the video.

Oh I agree about that. I died a little inside everytime I checked Billboard after coming home from school on Thursday and seeing those dreaded BEPs on top again. I like them, but their BBHot100 reign was overkill. It's not at all unlikely that BTW's reign will be dissimilar either. Her US iTunes lead has stabilised and is beginning to increase and her airplay is skyrocketing after falling (due to the rolling week effect).

It's more instant popularity than sustained though. I don't disagree with it, I just prefer the excitement of the BBHot100.
