Which Songs You Would Choose As Leads of ARTPOP & Joanne ?

[AlphaMonster 1,806]

Lead single choices of ARTPOP and Joanne are often seen as bad choices by Lil Managers.

If you actually had ability to choose, which songs would you choose as lead singles of ARTPOP and Joanne ?

For Joanne: A-YO
Simply because it is a catchy, fun, funky pop tune that would certainly be a hit if it was released as the lead. 

For ARTPOP: AURA
I would choose Aura considering how everyone was talking about how different and groundbreaking ARTPOP was, Aura would have been the choice. Totally unorthodox sound for mainstream Pop, only I wouldn't choose the album version. 

Spoiler

Or maybe swine but not the album version, Drew Stevens' remix(it is godly):

 

 

[Red 87,455]

Aura and Perfect Illusion

[homomo 22,730]

Aura and Diamond Heart

I don't care for Diamond Heart, but it seems more reasonable as the lead single.

[Jackhn333 8]

 G.U.Y and John Wayne 

[RochestrMonstr 2,273]

Venus and Diamond Heart. 

Venus is just as "different" as Applause, but Venus has a chorus that's beyond fire. I intend no pun when I say Venus's chorus is Out-of-this-World! 

Diamond Heart is a rocking stadium banger that makes the perfect opening track and I think would have made it the perfect lead single and perfect for the Super Bowl. (She obviously would have needed to promote it, unlike PI, but I think it's a better choice than PI anyway).

Do What U Want

A-YO

[Johnny Wayne 5,472]

Applause was the perfect lead single but I'd swap Perfect Illusion with A-YO

[Robo Ga 14,492]

Do What U Want  for ARTPOP

John Wayne for Joanne

[melon 3,298]

Hmm difficult...

 

Venus because Gaga's leads need a fire chorus 

And to be honest I'd have MR as the lead for Joanne, start more emotional and venture to Hey Girl and maybe DIC before finishing off with PI

ARTPOP: Applause x Aura x ARTPOP

Joanne: PI x A-YO x DH

I wouldn't change the leads at all. I would have just actually promoted Perfect Illusion.

I think both APPLAUSE and PERFECT ILLUSION were good lead single choices but of course it's my opinion (since I love both songs a lot)

[15jocart 2,305]

DWUW (without the Terry context) and A-Yo. Both are radio-friendly, energetic, relatable songs. Applause is not relatable to the vast majority of the public and Perfect Illusion is too different from what's on the radio without being crazy enough to compensate for that (and it's the same line over and over again).

[juju 18,907]

DWUW with Christina would've fared well as an ARTPOP lead single.

As far as Joanne, I think she picked the most appropriate song. PI screams "radio hit", at least more so than anything else on the album.

Applause & A-YO
