Is Lady Gaga?s ?Judas? a Commercial Flop?

Up until now, Lady Gaga has more or less dominated the pop charts with her music. Her videos are so intensely anticipated that blogs everywhere update the second the videos come out – sometimes before via leaking them. But, with her latest single, “Judas,” that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The video is set to premiere on Thursday, May 5, and for the first time, it doesn’t seem like there’s as much hype as there was for videos like “Telephone” or “Alejandro.”

“Judas” opened at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after just three days of being released, but slipped to #12 after its first full week out, despite growth in radio airplay. Now, less than three weeks later, “Judas” is resting at #18 on iTunes’ sales chart – for perspective, her previous single, “Born This Way” is currently sitting pretty at #16.

The music video released tomorrow will feature Gaga playing the role of Mary Magdalene and actor Norman Reedus as Judas. It was directed by Lady Gaga herself and her choreographer Laurieann Gibson. Gibson says of the video for “Judas,” “Ultimately, it’s a story about oppression; a story about following your heart and the glory of being free.”

Do you like Lady Gaga’s new single? I may be the only one, and this may be a controversial statement, but I’m kind of getting tired of Gaga’s antics, and “Judas” just isn’t that catchy to me. Check out the track:
