It's nice that others can appreciate that song, I wanted to too but I just couldn't I know music is subjective and people are entitled to their own opinions but seriously anyone who is sane wouldn't call Do What U Want a bad song.

Whispering 18,865 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Because they allowed the commercial to continue to run, where they pulled it in the US. The commercial had definite impact. That's the reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop 4,541 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 DWUW was a huge smash on european radios. I think it would have been #1 in EU and US if it had a good video and proper promotion. It could have been her clapback to the haters, if only she didn't have a meltdown. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 DWUW was played so much more by European radio stations than Applause, mostly because Applause perished as Roar was dominating the charts that time. DWUW though had no big competitors and was very catchy too. The radio stations loved it so did the Europeans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas Oyster 1,915 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I liked you OP bc I didn't know these facts, but I love DWUW <3 If I had to take one away it would be Applause :P I'm from Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody 64,631 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 From what I see they sold around the same amount in Europe and Applause was more promoted. That shows that if DWUW had gotten a video it would be even more successful and big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To begin with, Applause had a video which is an important factor. Also Applause had more airplay going on so it got more exposure. And those promo spots are based in UK only and that's why DWUW outsold AP there.Besides UK, both songs sold around the same amount all over Europe.

I'm sure she could have come up with something if she tried, even a simple video of her dancing around in no make-up would have helped. This TBH. A short video with sexy looks and no make-up could have done wonders. In Oct 2013 Gaga had basically no competitors, besides Miley. Unconditionally never happened, Lorde was starting to be a thing and Beyonce released in December. I don't recall anything consistent. Work Bitch had a very short momentum in September. Really, it could have changed the fate of ARTPOP, considering that a video could push the song on MTV (and that a short video could have captured the increasing, at the time, streaming numbers).

Miley 5,006 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Eh Both songs are among her best songs EVER. DWUW is just a masterpiece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkCity 10,536 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 DWUW could have been such a HUGE hit. Like one of her biggests hits. I will never get over it being so missmanaged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
