If you want a really specific hypethetical era 

MANiCURE 

Realeased - December 30, 2013 

Chart Run - 72 - 80 - 76 - 58 - 45 - 26 - 26 - 25 - 27 - 18 - 17 - 11 - - 10 - 11 - 10 - - 10 - 15 - 14 - 20 - 28 - 33 - 37 - 43 - 49 - OFF

2014 Year End - #38

US Sales - 2.39M 

WW Sales - 4.01M

Radio - #5 / 136.58M AI 

Pop Songs - #3

Youtube - 248M 

Spotify - 105M 

 

US sales 2.39m is too impossible. Applause (which sounds so much better) only sold 2.4m copies in the US.

But nice speculations.

The delusion ... I love the song, but come on. Rock screams, lyrics about getting "MANiCUREd" (which means far from being relatable for everybody), released during her underperforming era, a sound clearly not in a the current wave/trend ... And the list goes on.

MANiCURE is an album highlight at best, but not single material. "Catchy" doesn't mean "hit".

It has great potential.. to become Gaga's "Bitch I'm Madonna" :party:

it could've been a hit but definitely not the next Poker Face imo even Adele loved MANiCURE remember?

She loved the Swinefest version. I really doubt she loved the album version. The screaming vocals, the hannah montana-esque part, the lower guitars at the end... It could have been a greater song. I liked the first version. It hyped me a lot for the full album.

MANiCURE is far superior than Pokerface, but the public likes that manufactured sound and autotune so no, MANiCURE would probably not have been well received, but it is with me, I totes loves the track. My personal heaven. :pray:

PokerFace isn't even that good. MANiCURE is better. But MANiCURE wouldn't have performed nearly as well.

No...but for some reason the GP seemed to like it, when they heard it. I think it could have done much better than G.U.Y.

no.... it's wishful thinking... it's overrated by the fans

The only overrated thing is Poker Face. I love Poker Face but c'mon. People act like it's a Godsent gift. :rip:

Let's be honest, one of the main reasons why ARTPOP didn't sell that well is that no song of the album was strong enough to compete with her previous hits (Poker Face, Just Dance and Bad Romance). MANiCURE didn't even chart as high as other songs like Gypsy and Aura on iTunes 1000 when the album was released.

Bad Romance is definitely an amazing song. One of her best.

Poker Face is a good bop. Not close to being as good as BR tho.

JD? :rip: The song has some clever lyrics but is overall nothing special and has aged quite considerably. Most of ARTPOP is better.

Bad Romance is so overrated. I mean yeah its a cultural phenomenon and the lyrics and production slays, but to me has has 1000 better songs.

It's science, bitch
