It shows 574k daily views for me? BTW video is a mess but shows 2.73 for me, not that I'm bragging. No one is gonna watch that long ass video about her giving birth to a new race. Same for Paparazzi, Telephone, Alejandro, G.U.Y. and Marry the Night. She should of released 2 versions of each video an "artistic" one and one for rewatchability. Ain't no one got 10 minutes to watch a MV. I always choose live performances when I'm feeling nostalgic for old Gaga songs. Edited January 10 by Edit0rz Added Link to post Share on other sites

They went hand in hand so it was more of an "added" medium to the industry and it's all pretty damn meaningless now. I remember in 2011 ringtone sales were at like 400m while in 2013-2014 they already fell to 20-50m. That field was extremely short lived and you cannot compare it to the streaming era. Get a grip. Also I love how you just got caught using dated figures for Katy in order to make Gaga's look better Link to post Share on other sites

Kool_Aid_King Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 12 hours ago, biblicalmonster said: Rolling In The Deep? A good contender. The other ones don't stand a chance. PITUSA isn't as well known as Bad Romance in the international market, neither is Royals. None of these videos have iconic features, the last one doesn't even have any. It doesn't only touch success, it's about iconography. Is this thread about a Music video or what? I'm really confused what you're arguing. If it's some weird ass "trifecta" or video, song and impact, then Rolling in The Deep has outdone it. So has Formation, so has Single Ladies, so has Wrecking Ball, so has Shake It Off, so has Bad Blood, so has Work It by Missy, so has Lady Marmalade, so has Toxic, so has Crazy in Love... All hits with iconic music videos and actual tangible impact or insane success. 11 hours ago, IAMDOM said: Big songs but not big videos. Do you know how many people cite BR video in interviews to this day?? The way the video sweeper awards all the way from the VMA’s to the Grammys, lorde or adele ain’t seeing her in that lane. Props to them tho, I was scared you were gonna say a rih or brit song them lashings were on stand by already Royals has sold more globally, streamed more & is definitely way more iconic. The song ushered in a brand new sound and impact that is insurmountable. Bad Romance did not usher anything in, it was just a nice pretty visual lmao. The way you guys have totally lied and deluded yourselves into believing the song was bigger and more important than it was. Adele's Rolling in the Deep also won the Grammy for MV (along with ROTY) and was nominated for the VOTY at the VMAs (losing to Katy Perry's Firework). I don't even need to explain that one but both of those songs have outdone Bad Romance. Link to post Share on other sites

Iconography, commercial success, reference, outfit, music video, etc.. Do you really think, inside yourself, a song like "Formation" is more iconic than "Bad Romance"?! This song should be popular among the public first. Also "Bad Blood", I can't... Anyways, I won't even dwell on the subject when I see answers filled with bad faith and ineptness. And no, Bad Romance has outsold Royals worldwide. Worldwide downloads: Bad Romance - 12,240,000 Royals - 9,300,000 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not talking about dated ass pure sales which were almost dead in 2013 compared to 2009 when BR was released. I believe Royals is at around 20M+ sold WW. BR likely 17-18M. And yes, I think Bad Blood (Grammy for MV and VOTY VMA) had impact with it's gorgeous visuals, theme & insane amount of cameos. It was truly a moment, just like BR was. Additionally a Billboard Hot 100 #1 single, not every "iconic" song has that to their credit Link to post Share on other sites

PMKARDASHIAN Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 14 hours ago, Edit0rz said: Exactly. BR legacy does not need explanation nor a pointless thread to invite backlash. It WAS huge and anyone alive at that point is already aware. If there was another thread denying it's status or comparing classic songs of the '10 then by all means reply to that but this was childish and why Monsters are despised. I hate that Gaga's achievements are constantly undermined on this site but trying to shove all of her accomplishments down everyone else's throats like her success is incomparable is bound to cause resentment. To all the monster's: EVERYONE already knows Gaga was that bish from '08 to '12 and that Shallow is a modern classic. You trying to remind them constantly causes other fan bases to point out her shortcomings. No one would deny her impact if we let it speak for itself and not let them get under our skins when they point out she doesn't ALWAYS beat every other artist in every metric. Every. Single. Letter. Of. This. Link to post Share on other sites

And that is from an objective point of view. If you say otherwise, the receipts are there. Now the question is, has it been topped since? Other than We Found Love and Someone Like You, I can't think of any other female singles that made as much of an impact. Link to post Share on other sites

Weeeeeee... its about everything, sells, impact, success, accolades, and overall quality. Most of those songs have success yes, but not impact. Ain’t noooo one talking about how all these days later SIO or WB or those other videos were monumental in pop culture or that they served some next level visuals or sumn.

BR is good but I think you're vastly overestimating these "references" you speak of. THe only recent one was the Demi Lovato one and that's.... Demi Lovato. Link to post Share on other sites
