This week, “You and I” is the 9th most requested song in Chicago,
according to radio station B96. But now comes the bad news—Even after
the highly-criticized performance, “Born This Way” didn’t gain a lot of
traction on the Billboard Hot 200 and dropped a spot to number 14.
Program director Jared Spelling notes that Beyoncé’s album moved up
from number 12 to 7, because audiences embraced her performance. “The
only thing Lady Gaga gained from her Annie Lennox inspired performance
is a new nickname—Lady Kinko’s. I do feel a little bit for Lady Gaga
though; she is trying to throw everything at the wall to see what
sticks. If she actually had musical talent, she would let the music
speak for itself.”
Lady Gaga has suffered a terrible backlash after deep discounting her
album for the giveaway price of 99 cents, although her followers say
the 99 cent deal was all Amazon’s doing. However, many people considered
it a cheap way to garner sales for a mediocre album.
