Lady Gaga Lost the Oscar But Her Song Zooms Ahead of Sam Smith’s on Charts

Share

The absolutely ridiculous Best Song Oscar race ended with Lady Gaga losing to Sam Smith last night. She had “Til it Happens to You,” a powerful, moving message song written with Diane Warren. Smith had “Writing’s on the Wall,” weak of a James Bond theme.

But Gaga and Warren get the last laugh. “Happens” zoomed up to number 8 this morning on iTunes and 7 on amazon.com. “Wall” is 14 on iTunes and 9 on amazon. The people have spoken!
