lego 44,165 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 No, of course it wasn't meant to flop. But neither was it just bad luck. It was shut out by the radio cartel, and unsupported by her label. The question is, why? I'm not sure. Anyway, it makes me want her to get off Interscope as soon as she can. And of course it's just one more reason to break up radio station ownership. Â What do you mean? FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 7,098 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 G.U.Y. died of a mix between bad timing (like 2 YEARS too late, EDM was on its l way out by mid 2013) and a halted momentum (by then ARTPOP been fully branded as a flop project by the media and radio). Though the lyrics do have something to do with it, G.U.Y. Lyrics wouldve done well in 2010-2012. By 2013, people were for the most part done with party and hypers-xual music. The Dance music era died in 2013, ya'll. But it lives on through the hard synths of alternative music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo 3,980 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 What do you mean?Clear Channel iHeartMedia owns 850 radio stations. Cumulus owns 460. A tiny handful of people control what gets played on the radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunk96 2,526 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It was going to happen either way, no matter what song were to become the next single. The long blackout was the cause of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFame Monster 8,718 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Gaga made G.U.Y. a Single so she could give us a video after DWUW mess and managent mess. She didn't care about success she cared about giving us a great video. Oh and G.U.Y. didn't really flop. It would be considered a flop if radio pushed it hard and people still didn't buy it. Radio didn't push it they gave up on it after a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slade 2,591 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Anything woud've flopped if it were released in G.U.Y.'s position just because of Gaga's and ARTPOP's circumstances. If the era had been different and G.U.Y. were released, it would've probably done better. Definitely not the next Bad Romance, but it could've gone Top 10-15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
