LOL@ Interscopes PI decision - John Wayne & Dancin In Circles are hits

[mee 381]

Now i have heard the album and i must say that Interscope is really bad at first single decisions, like with ARTPP they choosed the wrong first single. On ARTPOP Do What U Want would have been the greatest surprise and people loved it, it would have wow the people, it was a freash new sound for her and it was damn catchy + visually Gaga as an 80eighties  r'n'b chick  R.Kelly was also the wrong featuring guest for DWYW. Applause was good, but people were too familar with this Gaga sound. ARTPOP could start so much stronger and live much longer with right singles, Applause could be the second or 3rd single.

Now to the album album Joanne. John Wayne sounds so innovative and interesting and real, it has the chill-vibe ( something A-Yo wants to have  ). That's what many people really love these days and it's rare. That's what the "cool kinds" wants to hear.  It needs to be a single, it's so good 

Also Dancin In Circles, it's sound also very cool and has clearly hit potential, it's authentic and warm, people want to hear suc stuff. It really also needs to be an single, hope they do it  Be wise Gaga team

Million Reasons, i said it already, clear global hit. it's emotional and toches many hearts. It will be a Lady Gaga classic. I had release it as the second single after Dancin In Circles or John Wayne.

Instead of Perfect Illusin the real surprise and success would have been John Wayne and Dancin In Circles as firste single. Interscope is not in touch with the listeners outside, they just picked PI because it sounds because of the production for them more Gaga-like than the other songs  and that reason makes them deaf.

Joanne needs also someday a wider public, it's one of the best Gaga ballads, it's a real magical classic. Single material

Angel Down.  Very good melody and  lyrics, love it, needs a wide audience.

Just Another Day also has hit potential, i know many monsters maybe can't hear it, but it's because many of you do not listen to real good retro singer songwriter bops. It could be a late single.

As a PI lover, I agree. PI is so disjoint and among the weakest in this album

There's no way to know a song is going to explode on the radio or not, it just happens. ARTPOP had a lot of great potential lead singles but Applause was a good choice, just like Perfect Illusion right now. If not, Ayo would've been interesting.

I'm sorry, but both Perfect Illusion and Applause were the right lead single choices at their respective times, and that's not me speaking about if I like the songs or not, it's about a multitude of factors.

A-YO should deffo be second single, but I dunno if it will be coz she's used it as a promo single

Intershit sucks on choosing singles. Joanne could build more hype if the debut single was a hit.

[Versace 7,959]

I feel A-YO would have been the perfect lead

It's not too out there sonically, it reminds me of pop rock and country pop anthems that were back in the day, like Kids In America by Kim Wilde but edgier with soul and funk elements that were praised on Uptown Funk. The song is uptempo also, so radio can replay it more and it's easier to push down the GP than let's say Perfect Illusion.

I think PI was a right choice, even DIC wouldn't have gotten the "success" PI got

I actually like it now. I used to be like "???" when it came out but after seeing the doc and live performances, it has this huge energy that makes you want to dance. It's a very fun song. I love some of the other songs on the album but of course, not EVERY one of them can singles. "Joanne" has this super catchy hook though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up getting released. I love Dancing In Circles but I kind of feel like it's not going to get the attention it deserves, she needs to save some songs for the SuperBowl.

I feel like we go through this discussion every era.

No, Scheisse or Judas shouldn't have been the lead single instead of Born This Way.

No, Venus or Gypsy shouldn't have been the lead single instead of Applause.

And no, there are no better lead single choices on the album than Perfect Illusion.

The only surefire singles on the album are PI, A-YO, MR and DIC(to a much lesser extent). DIC is BRILLIANT but I can't believe people genuinely think it would do that well as a single, let alone a lead

I think Dancin' In Circles (or possibly A-YO due to it's contagious beat) would've done a lot better. It's much more GP friendly production wise, has a REALLY catchy melody, and has a lot more structure (in terms of clear verses and hooks, etc.) in comparison to Perfect Illusion. It also would've given everyone a better idea of what Joanne would've sounded like vs. PI which was completely misleading in terms of how the rest of the album would sound.

TBF  i reckon Venus could have been the lead of ARTPOP, it was like a new version of Bad Romance and I think the sheer weirdness of it could have had the same mass effect BR had. But she didn't even record the song until after Applause was released so there's not much point discussing it I guess

Yes. We see this every time, especially because Gaga has so many great tracks. They could've released Marry The Night, Aura, Venus, Sex Dreams, etc. as lead singles but in the end, it's the label's choice because they know what works or what doesn't. And honestly, they all have been the good choices.

I still don't understand why people think Sexxx Dreams would have been a good lead single. It's an awesome song but would have TANKED as a lead single.
