Stereogum: Has Joanne failed before its even out?

The world is ready for Lady Gaga again, but Lady Gaga does not seem ready for the world. A day before Gaga’s ostensible comeback album Joanne is set to drop, it already feels like a failure, though not due to lack of hustle. Gaga and her promo team have slavishly exerted themselves creating and promoting Joanne, and when next week’s sales and streaming data are tabulated it should easily debut at #1 against competition like Leonard Cohen, Jimmy Eat World, and Korn. There’s just one problem: No one besides Gaga’s army of Little Monsters seems to care.

Despite heavy hype and a hip list of collaborators including Mark Ronson, Kevin Parker, BloodPOP, and Josh Homme, lead single “Perfect Illusion” topped out at #15 on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart — impressive for a rising star but highly disappointing for an artist with 10 multiplatinum top-10 hits to her name. The track’s #22 peak on the Pop Songs chart, which measures pop radio airplay, is even more pathetic and suggests that stations are no longer rolling out the red carpet for their former queen. Nor does it seem to be benefitting from the cool factor that accompanies Beyoncé’s every underground collaboration. As a song designed to re-ingratiate Gaga with audiences after 2013’s ARTPOP flopped, it has not done its job.

This is exactly the propaganda that caused ARTPOP to leave a bad taste in peoples mouths. It's so unprofessional, she should sue for defamation. They do this before people buy it and before people review it so headlines like these, stick. It causes a conversation that's false and frustrating. Whoever wrote this should be fired.

I just rolled my eyes so hard, I saw my brain.

They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.

The tea with this one is so hurtful but true. Like gaga you've got a great album on your hands,  get up and promote the hell out of it. Go back into hiding for another three years after the Super Bowl but right now werk biyatch :madge:

Hahaha. Who exactly decided that it was designed to get hits or rejoin an audience? Certainly nobody involved with the album!
