ARTPOP songs that would have been hits

 Here are the top 3 ARTPOP songs I think would have been hits if they were released as singles.

 

1. MANiCURE: I think this song would have been a big hit because of its very current sound. This song has some very nice and big trap/urban beats that would fit right in on the radio. In fact, Gaga's glam-rock style combined with those urban beats, would make the song sound fresh and yet familiar on the radio. Combine this with Gaga's typical double sided metaphorical lyrics a la Pokerface, strong vocals, catchy chorus, and you have a hit in you hands. (I could still see this song on the radio right now).

2. Gypsy: I feel like this song would be a hit simply because of the emotion that Gaga gives it. The lyrics are some of the most relatable in ARTPOP, and I think a lot of the GP would become attached to this song. Gaga also provides beautiful vocals and melodies, which add to that emotional connection. Finally, the overal style of the song is EDMish, but the song has a soothing, crystal clear, and yet powerful sound with some unique touches by Madeon that could please many people.

3. Venus: The original second single could have been a big hit for Gaga. This song simply has one of the best and most memorable choruses Gaga has ever made. The music is the typical quirky pop sound Gaga likes to make, but with touches of 70s disco and modern EDM. Now combine this sound with Gaga's strange but fun lyrics, and you have a song that I think the GP would not have been able to ignore. Venus is one of those songs that once you hear, you can't easily forget. I know people say this a lot, but this song could definitely have been her new Bad Romance.

MANiCURE wasn't a hit material honestly. Sexxx Dreams had bigger potential.

the songs in the OP. But i also have the unpopular opinion of the song ARTPOP. It basically summarises the entire album concept and it was one of the most praised songs when premiered at Swinefest. it's got such a unique sound to it, making it forever feel fresh and new. Kind of like Applause. Probably my favourite on the entire album too.

Justice for Gypsy

I agree with your choices

People were not there for her during that time. She could have released another Bad Romance and it still wouldn't have been a hit.

Venus, Aura and Sexxx Dreams.

[Alii 2,039]

Only Venus and DWUW.

DWUW could have been huge. 

[Duella Dvil 10,515]

I still personally would have loved to have seen an All of Me treatment for Dope.

The radio gets a dance edit.

The video gets the original edit

Knowing Gaga, the dance edit gets a video.

THIS would have been a HUGE sell for the BTWF

I think ARTPOP is a beautiful album but honestly no songs besides Applause and Do What U Want are even single material, let alone potential hits.

[SissyFromSpace 20,884]

Remember when Gaga accidentally uploaded the GYPSY banner on FB?

 

the smash hit that got away

[Tove Lo 2,481]

None would have been hits, only Applause, DWUW, and GUY were worthy. But the huge blackout between DWUW and GUY ruined GUY's chance at even being a moderate hit.

​whaaaaat? Venus would have SLAYED and Sexxx Dreams would be a huge song i reckon, but i guess there is the potential of some issues because of the title? And MANiCURE is a very radio friendly song.

Sexxx Dreams had a lot of potential too! With the right video and promotion it would have been huge..

I wish MANiCURE was called "Manic Cure" and I feel like it couldve been a hit if it was more like the itunes festival and retained that original feel it had
