Lady GaGa – Past/current chart performanceĪs of MaLady GaGa has released three singles in the U.S. Trust me-I know a hit song when I hear one. I predict that “Starstruck” will make it inside the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart IF the song is released as an official single by Lady GaGa’s record labels. If “Starstruck” is released as a single and the record labels handle the promotions right it holds the potential to be another Lady GaGa international chart topper. It’s just a matter of the song actually being released. Nothing against “Bottle Pop” (which I’m a fan of) but in my humble opinion “Starstruck” could easily de-throne the current Hot Dance Club Play chart leader. The current #1 song on the Hot Dance Club Play chart (issue date/week ending May 16, 2009) is “Bottle Pop” by the Pussycat Dolls featuring Snoop Dogg. The current #1 song on the Hot Dance Airplay chart (issue date/week ending May 16, 2009) is “Poker Face” so Lady GaGa already has that one covered. I don’t take my marketing recommendations lightly so I do my research before I recommend anything. Of course, this is all speculation on my part but it’s speculation from an informed position, which makes all the difference in the world.

From there it could be released as a single to pop radio and urban radio (thanks to Flo Rida) and the song’s entry into the Billboard Hot 100 main chart would be soon to follow. If the labels were to allow “Starstruck” the time it needs to build a grassroots following in the night clubs, eventually the song’s popularity would lead to it charting on the Hot Dance Airplay and/or Hot Dance Club Play Billboard charts. The song should target night clubs that play mainly dance/techno music, clubs that are big on dance remixes of international pop hits, and maybe a few mixed urban/pop clubs for good measure. This would be a wise business decision for all parties involved since it is likely that it wouldn’t take long for Top 40 radio to put “Starstruck” in heavy rotation nationwide (U.S.)īut to get to that point I think that first the song should be released exclusively to night clubs and radio stations using a “dance music” format. “Starstruck” – Suggested release strategy as a singleįirst of all this song needs to be addressed by Streamline Records, Interscope Records, Cherrytree Records, and Kon Live Distribution (Lady GaGa’s record labels) as a strong candidate for Lady Gaga’s next official single. Keep in mind that these YouTube numbers reflect interest in a song that has received virtually no promotional push from the record labels and people STILL love it and play it to death.Ĭonsider: how huge would “Starstruck” be if it was marketed right? A quick search yields one “music video” with over 4 million plays (which is actually just a GaGa pic with music since there is no official music video) and another one with over 1 million plays, not to mention the many other “videos” of this song with hundreds of thousands of plays.

The public response to this song has already been overwhelmingly positive, just look at the number of plays it has racked up on YouTube.
