Bad Romance was breaking YouTube records and in a modern day formula it would've snatched the #1 because of how many points streaming attributes. I never said Tik Tok wasn't omnipresent, that's just you and your pressed soul gravitating towards sentences heard in your head instead of ones posted. 1

If the cultural landscape was the exact same as back then, and both were released in today's technological landscape, Tik Tok would have more streams than bad romance so your entire argument is odd. Tik Tok was meant to appeal to the general public and Bad Romance wasn't. I wish you had any voices in your head so you could have something telling you how stupid you sound before you post something 1 1

Tik Tok had bigger radio than Bad Romance and went to #1 on Billboard's Radio Songs chart. If streaming was counted (and Bad Romance had record-breaking streams on YouTube) it would've challenged for the #1. Streaming wasn't counted and Tik Tok was bigger on radio for weeks so it automatically had an advantage. Edited November 26 by Doctor Dick 1

Bad Romance had better streaming because youtube was a place for fanbases and basement dwellers

tost1 Posted November 26 Posted November 26 People really don't know how to read. How are you mentioning Espresso, which peaked at #3, in a topic about songs getting narrowly blocked? Also songs from the 90s and 80s, as if anyone knew the points back then... 1 1
Sazare Posted November 26 Posted November 26 Ellie Goulding's Lights getting blocked by Call Me Maybe and then leapfrogged by Flo Rida's Whistle was kinda painful

Just like how all yall always talk about streaming now and that we should focus on sales well back then it was almost all about sales and Kesha was outselling Bad Romance. I remember even a lot of the other stan bases (Britney, xtina, Beyonce) buying tiktok and even her album just to block and piss of the gaga fans. So you're telling me the Monsters had this case study in the rearview mirror as a result of what happens when you antagonize other fanbases... and they decided to do the same thing for the last five years? Looks like karma did its work today.

YouTube numbers were record breaking but we're talking about WW numbers and only in the few million, free YouTube numbers with today's formula don't compare to the 100s of thousands of gap in digital sales TT and Bad Romance had. Also the thread is about "songs that seemed to have #1 in the bag", not mental gymnastics applying chart formulas from a decade later so they could've had a chance to be #1, Bad Romance was NEVER in the race for #1.
