Dark Anatomy 2,284 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 When it comes to ARTPOP, I have yet to find a discussion on what the lead single SHOULD HAVE been. A lot of people have focused on the album itself...rearranging/cutting the track-list, replacing the cover art, etc...but what about that lead? Should it have been different, or was Applause the best choice? Vote in the poll above and let us know! __________________________________ My pick was "Do What U Want". DWUW, for me, is not only the best song on the album, but it's one of the best Gaga songs period! I think it could have been her most successful single yet under the right platform, and was definitely a opportunity lost! Preferably I would rather the track feature "The Weeknd", "Bruno Mars", or even "ZAYN". But considering the time frame, I think "The Weeknd" would have probably been the best choice as he was rising up around that time. (But not too big) But hey, look at how well it sold with NO VIDEO and a cultural pariah like R. KELLY? Imagine how the song could have done with a different, less controversial R&B artist, and video that had as much time and creativity put into as Bad Romance? I get chills just thinking about that 2 years without Gaga music. then hearing that song drop one night out of the blue. "Roar" wouldn't have had a chance in hell. _________________________________ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Do What U Want in my opinion was the only song on ARTPOP that was a good choice for a single so it should have probably just lead the whole thing.. Most of the other tracks sound kind of off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well minues Applause since it DID do exceptionally well. (But I truly think that was just the power of the lead) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizurl 1,801 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 DWUW without R Kelly feature would've been an inevitable smash. Nobody can dislike that song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ゼレミ ノヴェリノ 370 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Roar Spoiler but honestly I think Applause was the right choice, the problem is just that it was released on the same week as Roar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think DWUW, but I wouldn't have minded if it was solo for the lead. It already did so well without a video. That song was destined to be a hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley 59,279 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I liked Applause as the lead, but I think Venus, Do What U Want, G.U.Y. and Aura were lead single material too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
