I feel like they said to her "Do the music you want, but create a single that can be GP friendly and let's see how it goes" Since Kevin was called on Joanne just for this song and Gaga herself told that the song wasn't her idea but his, maybe this theory explains why it's the only one that followed this path. Now that the song went "not that good", maybe she will follow her "original plan" and promote the singles she wants? What do you think? EDIT: I like the song and I don't care about its chart success, it's just a thought you are probably right. Labels would have people going through albums, and picking singles. I guess, Joanne is only a very personal ala Adele's 21 but minus the commercial success Gaga tries so hard to emulate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nah, I think Gaga wanted a ballad to lead but the label wanted one of the more dance(ish) songs but they managed to settle on Perfect Illusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born Brave 2,072 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Joanne has the quality of 21. I dont think she is going to have to promo this album that much for it to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaf 2,429 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I agree. She's even said that PI is not indicitative of what the record sounds like and that they didn't follow any radio trends. They didn't know how 'Joanne' would be received. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMonster98 7,462 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Maybe but tbh PI is not radio-friendly AT ALL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 17,458 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's not just about Radio Friendly, the song is short and starts strong. They probably thouht it could be the one that need no editing for Radio or it was done like that from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
