Arizona Sky 10,913 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It would've done horrendous. The only reason it went to #32 is because of the hype due to ARTPOP coming in a couple of weeks. I'm so glad they decided to make DWUW the single instead because Venus is no where near radio friendly. The only songs that could've gone top 5 with over 2 million in the US were Applause & DWUW. Gypsy MAYBE would've gone top 20 & that's even a stretch. All the other songs would've peaked below top 40/50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifromvenus 508 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Venus would have been on Top 15, if not top 10, if only the Ruth Hogben directed-video happened They should have chosen it over G.U.Y. I mean G.U.Y. slays, but only for us. The geepee doesn't get it. Venus had more appeal. I remember a non-monster classmate of mine singing Take me to your planet Yeah I remember people in Australia even comparing it to the vibe of Poker Face and Judas and therefore loving it, so given worldly promotion it would have slayed!

Ethan 2,051 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If "G.U.Y." didn't do phenomenally, "Venus" didn't even stand a chance. GUY's flop was because it was too far after ARTPOP was released for it to do well, there was a lack of enthusiastic promotion, too. if it was second single or maybe even third if DWUW had gained more traction and momentum, it would've done fine. and no i'm not trying to sound like i'm reaching, i genuinely believe ARTPOP was DOA at the time GUY was released as a single.

Bad Bromance 5,809 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Applause. Venus. Gypsy. DWUW. Donatella or GUY as fifth. Gypsy could have padded Venus if it flopped. The thing is, though, I don't think it would have flopped. Venus is definitely a grower and catchy as f*ck. If Gaga had released it as second single and delivered an awesome video a la Poker Face or Bad Romance, it definitely would have caught on with the GP and it could have made it to the top 5, IMO. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter 14 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If GUY was released as second right after Applause it would have done a hell of a lot better. If DWUW was released first with a music video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter 14 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I think Venus is a good song, but I don't think it would have been appreciated by the GP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I honestly think it would've done really well if it had been the album's lead single. Would've been a hit or miss as the second single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
