After peaking in the top 20 of iTunes earlier today

oh

Top 20. SMH. No one gives a fuck about black girls if there are ~bops.~

and the documentary mini series REALLY did a good job of illustrating how he strategically released his 'feel good' music during his most damning public moments so that people would bop instead. He's a psycho and he needs to be dead ASAP

It’s still on Spotify...

Ikr artists has power. If she really wanted it pulled down immediately, it could have happened.

Probably still collecting some more $$$ before it gets officially pulled out... Hey, it cost her and her label so much to produce that disgusting scrapped video directed by Terry! Gotta make some more profit ya know.

Ugh.

That is gross. Every version should be pulled.

Her original statement said she’d be pulling it off the other streaming platforms too, I guess iTunes got there first.

It’s unavailable / deleted off YouTube too.

will she donate all proceeds from this song to charity?

She honestly should’ve pulled the song first before issuing the apology.

honestly i give gaga enough benefit of the doubt that i don't believe that she intended for the song to boost in streaming/sales but that's it

yeah same. 😐

after the music video for this song she absolutely does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Lmao exactly

mte lmao

yeah same. I think it's coming from the same reason the doc boosted r. kelly's streams, people's morbid curiosity, and then add in a "get it before it's gone" on top of that.

now, she absolutely knew what she was doing collaborating with him to be ~edgy and she deserves the flack she's catching for that.

it's unintentional yet unsurprising because she said the song itself is fucked up

I think its funny that people think the Itunes market is so robust that Gaga did this purposefully to get cash before pulling it for real. Like, a top 20 on Itunes for less than a day probably amounts to literal pennies for Gaga and 50 cents for her label lol.

Wtf why was it in the top 20??? People were inspired to listen to this shitbags music??

I suspect it’s the morbid curiosity factor + “get it now before it’s gone forever” factor. It’s sad as fuck.

lmao, jesus..

Smh

What about all the other streaming services? There are others besides iTunes.

She said in her original statement she’s gonna pull it from other streaming sites too.

All versions (explicit, censored, & remixes) are gone from Youtube Music. It's still on Google Play Music however.

Oy vey - yeah, I'm in the same frame of those thinking she should've pulled the song before issuing the apology. Even if people noticed the song disappearing before the apology was issued, I think people would've been like "Oh, the song was pulled because of R. Kelly."

It’s still on other streaming services but I can why they’d be so quick to take it down from iTunes especially with the sales skyrocketing. It wasn’t going to bode well for her if her team and label didn’t move fast because it looks like they collected coin under the guise of doing better.

Congratulations on doing the least, I guess.
