While you guys are still waiting for "Just Dance" to hit #1, Lady GaGa's second single is already #1 here in Canada! Of course, I hear this song everywhere I go and I can't stop listening to it either. The production sounds just like "Just Dance", so of course I love it lol. Will she get another big hit in the US too? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngf5Oo_XrjI |

A couple people at Pulse think she'll be a one hit wonder because acts like Cascada, DHT, etc. were. Those are both Eurodance though, and Lady Gaga's music is much more poppy techno, so I don't think she'll have a problem getting another hit. Good song too.

I'd rather "Just Dance" be #1, personally.

Haha, don't worry, I was only searching for the song "Poker Face" to download where it turned up the Swollen Members version as a result. Swollen Members hadn't even crossed my mind since 2001 or so, but they still have the most ridiculous name for an artist I have ever seen. There have been some other close calls, but at least Engelbert Humperdinck and Madeline Pereyoux were born with their names. |

At least Engelbert Humperdinck was born with his name. The original German composer, yes. However the 60s & 70s pop singer was born Arnold George Dorsey. |

This is one of my favorite songs right now, and I don't even know why.

Yeah, I love this song. (For some reason on AT40, they play a version where in the (post?)-chorus, she doesn't say "face." Instead, "poker" just echoes. Like this: "Pa-pa-pa-poker (poker, poker), pa-pa-poker (poker, poker)." It's so weird.  There may even be other slight differences elsewhere in the song.) |

And it's #1. Her next single "LoveGame" is already Top 10 in Canada. Can she score 3 #1's in a row?  |

My only complaint about this song might be that it sounds just a little like "Just Dance" in some parts. Otherwise, if I were still doing personal charts (and I haven't said I'm not, except for the two years since I've last posted one ), this'd be #1 for me right now. It even got me to check out her album on last.fm. |

I like "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" a lot, but, so far, am glad I didn't buy the album for cheap, because it's alarmingly shallow. I dunno, obviously there's not a whole lot of introspection in those first two singles, but I just expected her music to have more integrity, more to offer.
And this clip Sunny posted was just self-indulgent s*** that I couldn't wait for to end.

Yeah, it was annoying when that Buffy tried doing that last year, except that GaGa isn't as good at it. |

I was in the UK a couple weeks ago and I heard a version of this song that omits all the parts that go "pa-pa-pa-poker pa-pa-poker face" as well as the "rap" part.

I finally added "Poker Face" to my "streaming-All-Access-at-work" playlist. I was wondering why Gaga hasn't really resonated with me when I realized I subconsciously wasn't even giving her a chance to resonate. There's still hope for some decent success for her on my chart, although I doubt this will surpass "Just Dance" for me (although that barely even made my chart). There's also a Kevin Figuereido remix of the song that's pretty decent. He's the same one that remixed "Kill the Lights", which has gone top 20 on my chart in 3 weeks. I can't get to YouTube from here, but his remix is at www.youtube.com/the401drummer. |

How about Jarvis Church? Edit: Most of these are Canadian  The Swollen Members, Rainbow Buttmonkeys, and Jarvis Church. I thought Madeleine Peyroux was French Canadian too but no, she's just French. But for kicks, here's what she looks like in Canada:  |
