Lady Gaga *delete*
Apparently, she's the most deleted artist on Last.fm
But then she's also the most listened to. So the theory is, people want to hear a bit of Gaga, get embarrassed, then get it off their public playlist.
Here's the full list of Last.fm's top deleted songs:
1. Lady Gaga – Alejandro
2. Lady Gaga – Poker Face
3. Lady Gaga – Bad Romance
4. Lady Gaga – Paparazzi
5. Ke$ha – TiK ToK
6. Lady Gaga – LoveGame
7. Lady Gaga – Just Dance
8. Justin Bieber – One Time
9. Ke$ha – Your Love Is My Drug
10. Lady Gaga – Monster
Now, tracks 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 would make an incredible party mix cd. Put it on loop, pass round some tequila and everyone would be happy. The remaining 5 tracks have earnt their place on that chart. The thing is though.... where is the chart for the most listened to? We'd put money on the fact our top 5 deletes all appear in the top 5 added. For a start, a song has to be chosen in the first place in order to be deleted.
Lets take a look at a deleted scene from Gaga:
Okay it's a clean cut edit, but still. 30 seconds that could be added to any video by Owl City, Paramore, or Linkin Park to make it a million times better. In short, people are still going to listening to Lady Gaga. Just not on Last.fm.
