This is not good, and at the same time is not bad. I think the song was not crafted to be a mega-hit, because she loves the music and not the bling, or charts :toofunny::toofunny:

She should have chosen a better lead. She needed an undeniable smash hit after ARTPOP. Not a grower. Sorry, but it's true.

I sing at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia and I heard Perfect Illusion playing throughout the resort this afternoon! PULL THROUGH RADIO!

I just want it to get to number 1 so little managers will enjoy the song finally :saladga:

 

It should be about the music not the charts. A song that's #1 or #32 doesn't change anything sonically. Some of you fans :saladga:

This doesn't make sense. The streaming alone is over 12 million, just with the YouTube audio. What the hell is going on?

It changes things for the "Gaga" brand as we know it, tho. As much as she preaches about "music not the charts" you can guarantee her label is very concerned with these predictions. And very much like with artists in times gone by, when a new era's lead single debuts worse than its underwhelming predecessor, things become more concerning.

 

But still, things can improve. But then again, it seems as though with the damn video not coming out for a "few weeks", anything can happen... :rip:

She can keep the music she "loves" to herself, or as an album track. A lead single should be something that appeals to everyone and actually sells her name and her brand. Marketing 101.

So true. Perfect Illusion would of been an amazing album track or even a 3rd or 4th single.  I don't get why she always wants the weirdest tracks to be the lead.

sad, but not surprising. the song just wasn't the right choice for a comeback single. I remember the first listen, sitting there in stunned silence and thinking, that's it?

(I was also low-key embarrassed because i made my bf listen and he's not a gaga stan and i had been hyping the song up for weeks because of who she worked... the funny part is that he likes the song more than me, lol)

The second most crushing moment of the year---after her oscar loss!

Its not like the GP go "OK ITS THE TIME OF THE MONTH TO FIND A NEW SONG TO LISTEN "GOES CHECK BILLBOARD" K, #1 IS ___ SO THIS ONE, WHO CARES ABOUT THE REST?" or "LOVE THIS SONG BUT ITS JUST TOP 20 SO FUDGE OFF" 

Music and success dont work that way

Disappointed because I thought top10 was on lock but excited to see if it can actually reach it, I love the song so I'm rooting hard for it.:)

Have you heard the rest of album that you're saying it's the weirdest track?

Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Those streams are WW, the US streams are the ones that count for the chart.

I hope she experimented with this single and some wonder happens and a new lead single is announced as the perfect illusion is fading

It's the only song with Kevin Parker and the song's supposed to be different from the rest of the album.  I'm predicting that it will be the weirdest song on the album. (I mean it isn't weird weird, it's still radio friendly, it's just different).
