Did Gaga choose Mark Ronson because of his commercial success?

[HolyDelRey 21,101]

Let's not pretend that Gaga doesn't want to be huge in the MUSIC GAME like she used to be, i mean who doesn't? 

We all know, that she started working on this record with RedOne, back in 2014.. But she probably couldn't re-create the magic, and started to work with Mark Ronson.

Mark Ronson released one of the biggest hits ever which is "Uptown Funk". The Music Video still remains as the most watched one on VEVO, the song had a huge success worldwide, got a grammy, sold 8m copies in the United States only.

So my question is, did Gaga chose Mark Ronson because of his commercial success? Be honest!

[ryhanna 3,507]

Could be a factor but Mark has a solid career of quality material regardless.

[DeanWinchester 41,390]

Well both of them said they met and knew each other waaay back and always wanted to do music together

[Dangerous Man 9,245]

Not when Uptown Special flopped hard.

He only had a smash hit bc of Bruno so... 

[Blackout19 11,980]

I dont know. But I wish the lead single was the song that was made with RedOne.

[ReidOne 12,427]

Of course she did!!!

But I also think she chose him because he is the most credible person to do the job. She wants a massive pop album again, of course. And he is the hottest thing in pop right now. 

But they also have LOADS of stuff in common.... particularly their affinity for classic funk and groovy rock music. 

It's a match made in heaven. 

Commercial success + musical similarities + credibility.... 

We all win with this! 

[Super Natural 1,481]

She always wanted to work with him

[Arturo 40,746]

Clearly. She also got Bloodpop who produced the 3rd biggest hit of 2015, Sorry. 

Edit: woops. It seems to have sold 7m

[Blackwillow 2,200]

Ofc she did. So what? She is an artist ,doesn't want to do same shiz. At least she tried with RedOne first but her gut told her to do with Mark then I'm sure magic  happened= PI

however, I still believe RedOne track that one was almost a lead will be second single. Bookmark me . 

[Tanner Porter 47]

I think it was a factor, but not major. Happily his name is big in industry and having PI attached to it will be of some help

[gagzus 15,929]

It's obviously this was the case why else would she work with him and Bloodpop who both have helped produce massive comeback hits (Uptown Funk & Sorry).

i just hope the music is good

Are you kidding me? Everything that he touches becames huge thing in the Music Industry, take Amy, Lana, Adele, or Sia for example

You must be living under a rock since he's worked with Adele, Amy and more on massively successful material that's both garnered sales and critical acclaim alike

[Frankenztein 1,172]

No. She's been saying she wanted to work with him since 2008(or 09 not certain on exact date?). This is a genuine collab that's been along time coming.

I think Gaga wanted to pick the best song and what her and Mark made was it. I'm sure RedOne will be on LG5 and perhaps have a single but Gaga wants to do something new and fresh and if what radio stations and iHeart had been saying is sent indicator, we're not gonna be disappointed and we're in for perhaps her best song to date
