question

Is an August lead single a problem?

I'm pretty sure Gaga is releasing the LG5 lead single on August. But is this the route for another flop era? Katy is most likely releasing her single on August too. (Yes, she finishes earlier than expected and is still a huge threat, don't underestimate her) Also, the VMAs aren't as big as they used to be. Is it better for Gaga to wait after the Grammy deadline an pull a TFM/25 esque release with a single on October and the album on November 18th. That schedule has plenty of promo opportunities. I think that may be the best option...

In case you were wondering what the release schedule would look like, click here to see my promotional scehdule that I made.

I used to think that she would release her single just before the VMAs and perform it live for the first time at the VMAs and then release her album after the Grammys deadline.  Now, however, I think she may drop her single in October and release her album in November.  Gaga will probably perform her lead single at the AMAs like she did with Bad Romance. 

I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.

October with November album release like TFM please. AMA performance of lead, SNL, Ellen Giveaway and then 2nd single at the Grammys.

I don't think after the Grammy deadline is a good idea, yeah, there's competition but I'd rather her being nominated and losing to not being nominated at all.

 

I'm sure LG5 is not going to flop or have bad critics but you know how the media ride and stop riding Gaga's **** in matter of seconds so if that happens, y'all can forget about the nomination in 2018.

Exactly. It will be just like Adele with 25, except she'll follow through with her singles and music videos. Albums that are dropped in November always sell the best. Especially the week before Black Friday. It can get high sales because of Black Friday discounts. This is what TFM and 25 did. Their arguably the 2 most successful eras of our time. It's not that anyone would want to wait this long, it would be worth the wait. She can also perform a ballad track off the album a la 2009 AMAs :giveup:

I'm so hoping this happens because I want Gaga to be as successful with this era as she was with TFM and BTW.  Our Queen deserves it for crying out loud!

If the song is good it will do well. No point worrying about other artists, focus on your own race.

This is also very true, too.   ;)

This isn't entirely true. :laughga: When it comes to Gaga, she's not the GP's favorite girl. If there's other artists like Katy or Adele releasing, the GP & radio will use there songs more based on their name alone. Gaga has a big name, but has been absent from the pop industry since 2011. She needs hype and has to play it safe.

True, but we can all agree that Gaga is no where near ready yet :toofunny:

But we've already got Adele, Beyoncé & many more battling it out at the 2017 Grammys. :laughga: It's unlikely we will see a year like this soon, so Gaga should just play it safe and wait till after the deadline. She cares about awards. But it's not only that, Q4 is the best time of the year to release an album.

But so many songs from no names get radio play today because they are catchy. DNCE, The Chainsmokers, Mike Posner, were all irrelevant and had way less profile than Gaga and have had hits. If the drugs she put out are good, people will use :stalkga:

Just bc she releases it in Q4 it doesn't mean she's going to be nominated....:emma:

Exactly. Let's not forget forget all the European promo there is during that time of the year (UK X Factor, NJR Award, The Voice of Germany, etc.) and also Thankgiving specials. There's great promo :giveup:
