Pain of fame1 226 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 No. The controversy would have been more promo than ever. We are in the era of smash hit YouTube controversy vids (Wrecking Ball, Anaconda). It's exactly what the album needed. The video would have pushed the single to the top 10 on Billboard. The album would have retained momentum. THIS X1000.  If the DWUW video would have been released it would have been a bigger hit than APPLAUSE. I mean DWUW was trendy and the GP loved it. Even BILLBOARD said it was the BR of ARTPOP. And the album would have sold more. I mean it already broke records without the video: Song with more #1 in the history of iTUNES, fastest selling single of itunes in the us: 100k in 8h..

Nein 508 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Its actually mixed. The single will sell a lot but the following single will be affected greatly. If the video backlash is harsh like Wrecking Ball, the following single would be affected and wouldnt sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video broke records and helped make it a smash hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

codymonster 7,937 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 All I know is that I am sooooo desperate for that video :nooo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healme 83 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Commercially, the video would have helped the song's sales/charting position immensely. But I'm glad she kept her integrity but acknowledging it was too much and not releasing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKid58 17 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm glad she didn't release it. She would have been crucified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Eh...no one can say for sure either way. Gaga wasn't in a good state of mind at that time, so I'm happy that people who cared for her stepped in and that she took some time and regrouped. She ended up coming back as a much happier and centered individual and that made for a great tour and another #1 album! Â I'm happy with the way things turned out! We have a happy, whole Gaga now vs. a deeply depressed, broken Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
