Sexxx Dreams is the only right answer. Flopsy, get out of the way.

Honestly I don't know... As for a fan ARTPOP singles have been reallly dissapointing to me. I usually love her single choices and music videos, but this time non of my favorties except DWUW got chosen to be singles. I find Applause and G.U.Y way too EDM, heavy and hard to digest, whereas MANiCURE, Sexxxdreams and Gypsy would have been my choices. I love basic PoP, that's why I fel in love with her... :ohwell:

It wouldn't have been hard to release

Applause

Do What U Want

G.U.Y

then Gyspy

those are the obvious single choices. The part that made them underperform was Gaga promoting VENUS more, changing the second single, not performing the third, and not releasing the fourth.

Applause was executed really well and it's a huge hit, DWUW could've been if it was actually promoted more from the start. I mean, she went on Ellen and didnt even perform?

DWUW was done on AMAs, The Voice and SNL and none of these performances sent the song to the top 10 of iTunes, the promo was not helping. Besides a M/V, it got everything it needed.

It wasn't pushed enough on radio, it could've been performed more, there was no MV, and the performances were far after the release

It hit top 10 on pop radio and while the performances were far after release they were high profile ones and the song was doing well on radio. The promo it got didn't help it at all. Infact, it was the one of the only songs that didn't rise after the AMAs.

Usually on an album there are songs that will clearly be singles and then there's filler songs, but on this album most of the songs are potential singles (Aura, Venus, Sexxx Dreams, Dope, Gypsy etc)

It' not.

The next single should obviously be GYPSLAY. :ARTPOP:

Most of the songs could do well.

Gypsy is the obvious choice and it could easily save this era. SD is more risky but very catchy and with radio support it would do great. My favorite is Aura but I don't know if it's a clever move.

If we'll have one more single it should have a short video, amazing promotion and much radio support.

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..

This,

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

Fashion is a bore.

People think they know what could be a single, but they don't.

 

But yes, generally it's been pretty hard since pretty much 90% of the album is dated. It's the type of EDM that doesn't really fit in the radio, but with proper management and promotion, ARTPOP could be at the very least moderately successful.

ARTPOP would be an amazing single, even if  I'm the only one to believe that.

Ok, I hate getting in fanager mode but here I go:

Fashion!

Could be great. The lyrics are very Gaga but also very relatable to many people. Her voice is killer and the song is fun and summery. Plus it would be used on a ton of tv shows as background music, happened to Applause as well, it really makes an impact.

Gypsy

Cant say it enough: release both the regular and an acoustic version, the latter accompanied by a backstage tour video. HIT HIT HIT!

Other songs that could also be a hit: Donatella, Sexxxdreams, ARTPOP

Applause: Great first single, great US promo, lacking European promo.

DWUW: Most hit potential but sadly wasn't meant to be.

Wouldve been amazing if she had released the different collabs all at once. Was hoping for a very cleancut, simple, natural Gaga singing her heart out in a musicvideo, maybe a onetaker, raw and pure.

G.U.Y. don't really get this single choice. The song is catchy but sounds a bit like a spin on Bad Romance and Judas, it doesn't seem the type of music people are into right now.

ARTPOP would be an amazing single, even if  I'm the only one to believe that.
According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch

Gaga wants the music.

Interscope wants the bling.
