My mom heard MR on one of the biggest HAC stations. She said she loved it, much better than PI!

Yes, all the GP I asked loved MR (I can't say the same thing with PI)

2014Ga was a mess so she can stay in 2014. The only Gaga that would put on an amazing SB show is 2009-2010Ga lol

absolutely not. BTW and ARTPOP had some spectacular performances and the SB would slay

Yeah, everyone loves MR, it could defiantly smash. No one I knew liked PI except one person.

ARTPOP had zero good performances and BTW had good performances, but the end of the era was a complete disaster with her melting down during the tour.

The messiness began with the BTW Grammy performance (which people forget was completely remade right before) and really got bad during TEOG video / Y&I VMAs. She has never gotten it organized since then

Let's just be glad we collected good receipts before Gaga became a commercial tornado rather than a golden touch

But let's not forget that MR wasn't a single when she performed it on CPK & SNL.

She was basically gone from the pop scene for like 3 years and in order for people to realize that she's back, she should do more promo imo...especially when it has been so long since she had a huge hit. 

Another factor is that she's not "Gaga" anymore, so if we compare DWUW at the AMAs & MR at the AMAs, obviously the one that would be more talked about would be the DWUW one. 

She's almost like a brand new artist now because a lot of the things now are the complete opposite of what they used to be.

Radio is obviously a big factor too, but I don't think it's solely to blame for MR's chart performance. 

This. 

Her "misfortune" is that her peak happened too early for how things have turned out. If her gold years were 2012-2014 instead of 2009-2011, I'm sure that a lot of problems like streaming power, distance from younger generations (some weeks ago I talked to a 11 years old girl and she didn't know who is Gaga  but she knew Rihanna and Katy Perry for example) etc. wouldn't exist. But her team probably hasn't understood this yet and they still think that they can easily keep on taking risks and rely on the name "Lady Gaga", while they should seriously work hard.

For example, I'm pretty convinced that no promo was booked for PI because they were sure it would have smashed on its own. And then again, considering what happened in the past, if they scrapped A-YO as the 2nd single, they should have accelerate with the MR video, promo etc.
Ok, it isn't easy, but are they paid for what?
