ReidOne 12,427 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I STILL think "Perfect Illusion" was a brilliant "first single-worthy" choice for the album and I honestly wouldn't change it. She tried her hardest to give it mega promo (and it worked, to some degree... awareness of her comeback was extremely high). She just wasn't willing to pander to the masses with the kind of bops that are hot on radio right now (which she knew). She's making a longer term play here, if you ask me. She knows her catalog will be revisited for generations to come. She'd rather leave a cohesive, musically-rich story with her musical releases than just force out a hit for hit's sake (which would sound like garbage in a few years and be inconsistent with her catalog). Not sure if that makes sense, but it does to me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorFilm 6,752 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Let's just think of PI as a promo single that was an appetizer. Seriously tho. If Lady Gaga decides to push Million Reasons as the next single and ACTUALLY does more than radio interviews to promote it, it could be a decent top 10 hit. As someone said earlier, ballads tend to do well in the fall/winter. Twitter: @ConnorBehrens/Instagram: @ConnorBehrens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariomania1234 11,368 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 A lot of tracks on Joanne sound very single worthy, witch I honestly wasn't expecting for this album. Million Reasons could end up being a pretty big hit for her if she plays her cards right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality 66,744 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Well, she did say that this album won't be radio-friendly, so I'm not particularly disappointed necessarily with this news. I still believe that Perfect Illusion is one of her best songs, and yes, there wasn't a lot of promo for it in the beginning, there's no denying that, but she's definitely going to do a lot more promo in the next few weeksâso excited for Carpool Karaoke . She'll also have the SB, which is a fantastic opportunity to get people into the Joanne era. đđ€đč Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsuki Bakugo 9,788 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I think releasing a new song... something like Ayo or Dancin in Circles or Joanne would be better as a second single.... that way she can get fans to buy it and GP as well... send it to radio and give it a BIG radio deal. If All You Ever Do Is Look Down On People, You Won't Be Able To Recognize Your Own Weaknesses.

And you're making it sounds like it's so black and white.... a simple bop or something like PI.... it could have been a successful quality song.
