Dance In The Dark would've done okay, probably another top 10 for Gaga (low top 10 - #8-9)

Venus would've flopped hard; people weren't here for Gaga on the ARTPOP era after some post-APPLAUSE meltdowns

Gypsy could have gained decent HAC / AC airplay. Chances were that Gypsy could have gone top 15-10 if released to radio, just because its broad appeal

Starstruck would've been Gaga's third #1 in one year if released. 

Americano: I'm sure this was meant to be a #1 but sadly, Gaga let it got away. The song is weird but the beat and funny lyrics were something that radio could've eaten up in 2011. Plus, the LGBT marriage hype was at its highest

Heavy Metal Lover: It would have flopped. If she released a softer version of the song now, it could be a hit; but back in time, HML wouldn't have even hit the top 50. No radios would play it (unhearable lyrics)

Monster: This was a clear top 3. Even a top 1 if lucky. Should've been TFM's 2nd single instead of Telephone.

Scheisse: Unsure about this one...people ate up the RAHRAHRAH hooks and the french parts on Bad Romance so it's possible they would have liked the gibberish parts of the song in a radio edit

Speechless: 2010 wasn't the year for ballads, but it was a possible 1 week top 10/top 5 that went away

 

Other hits Gaga missed were So Happy I Could Die, Paper Gangsta, Hair, Animal, No Way, Then You'd Love Me and, probably, Fashion!

in my opinion Gypsy is her biggest missed opportunity, it should have been the first single and everything would have turned out fine for ARTPOP.

Who the hell voted for Venus?? It was performed on X Factor and did nothing for the song, it went to #76 or something

STARSTRUCT was a huge smash for several different reasons

 

it was a huge wasted single

 

- 3.5 minutes perfect for radio

- catchy as hell

- feminine enough to attract females but still cool for males because of FLO Rida (who was big at the time)

 

We also see its her most sold non-single if what i listed isnt proof enough the single would of smashed!!!!

I voted for Venus & Monster. Even people who do not like Gaga liked those two when I played them. Of course, I wanted a Scheisse & Dance In The Dark video myself, but I don't think it would have been a hit.

Hair was/is a great song. It certainly did well within the LM Community, but it wasn't her biggest hit, in terms of its acknowledgement with the GP.

This. 

The synth in the chorus alone >>>>>>

Mister Gaga

DITD is literally the only one. The other songs are ****ing great, but they'd flop on radio. 

DWUW was a minor hit, but it's the top 3 hit that got away.

VENUSSSSSS

 

 

the song is a grower like bad romance, at the end of the second verse will have you singing along. It sounds disjointed and like WTF just like bad romance and ahhh its just an amazing gaga song. Accompanied with an out of the world music video, it would have slayed. Especially with the V in the air being the dance to go along with it.

If Starstruck was the 3rd single on TF, it would've been a #1. People would've loved a Flo Rida collar in Summer 2009 following Just Dance & Poker Face. Monster also could've been the 4th single from TFM & she could've performed it at the 2010 VMAs. It would've peak around Halloween time and would probably go Top 5.

I think it's delusional to think Scheisse could fare well as a single. It's a fantastic Gaga chorus but the production works only for the album, it's too dated and freakish, and not good enough to do it's job. Sorry, time to face reality

Scheisse sounds dated? It sounds like nothing that came before or since.
