Why Is Selecting Singles So Hard This Era?

Because there's no obvious single material besides DWUW and Applause. There's no smash hit on the album.

Every album so far had a few tracks that stood out as smash hits and were extremely catchy and energetic. But this album doesn't..

Considering initial fan reactions to Applause, nobody would be saying Applause was single-worthy had it not been the lead.

Hindsight biases everywhere on this forum. Lol

Every song on ARTPOP is amazing that's why. :awkney:

 

I shade G.U.Y and Donatella all the time, but they are still amazing songs. :awkney:

Oh yes they would. The 'I live for the applause, applause, applause' is one of the catchiest things on the album.

Sadly, it wasn't given proper promotion, which is why it didn't become a big hit WW, but more Lovegame-sized.

Well the most radio friendly songs on ART POP are Applause, Fashion!, Gypsy and ARTPOP.  But gaga doesn't care about that so she does DWUW and G.U.Y.  I personally think the best way to be commercially successful at this point is to have Fashion! or Gypsy. ...... Looking good and feeling fine, SLAY

This. Every song is good...but there's nothing that jumps out as great. ARTPOP is merely a good album with good songs.

Because ARTPOP has so many great songs that it's impossible to choose :legend:

This. The album is so amazing that it's hard to just pick one song to go out to the basic radio stations. :flutter:

Each song has the potential to be a hit, but there are elements in each track that make them possibly risky/not radio-friendly.

 

Aura: Strange intro, odd lyrics on the verses

Venus: Experimental harmonies, weird lyrics, strange bridge

G.U.Y.: Clever but odd lyrics, heavy instrumental

Sexxx Dreams: Highly s-xual lyrics that could be a turn off for radio DJs/listeners

 

I didn't wanna do all of the tracks, but you get the idea.

Simple because ARTPOP is flawless, at first y'all wanted aura to be the lead single when it leaked and now u have ppl want gypsy and others want s-xxx dreams and some want MANiCURE, some wanted G.U.Y while others Venus and I bet this is reason why (ARTPOP film) exist to make more fans satisfied, and tbh I want MJH and swine to be singles too . And u have pretentious ingnorat ppl out here saying ARTPOP is "bad" just because it didn't sell as they wanted or expected or didn't get a great media reviews ArtSamba_byDirtyPony.gif
