I hate them for discounting the songs and not giving them placement on the front page of iTunes. Like, what was the point of the discount? Basically the songs would perform the SAME way if they weren't discounted.

This is not true. Songs perform way better when discounted, that's why most singles from new artists like Kiiara's Gold have been discounted for weeks. The goal is to sell as many singles as possible and make people aware of the music, which in the long run is worth the money they lose. Gaga obviously isn't a new artist, but she's struggling to get a hit single with her new sound so the same strategy applies.

Singles are overpriced anyway. I'm sure soon 0.69 will be the standard price for songs before iTunes dies completely because of streaming.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the label switches back to MR and I hope they do.

The thing is, people are NOT aware the songs are discounted! 

Here's iTunes's front page :

as you can see, that Gold song you are talking about is there and that's why it's so high on iTunes. Of course, not every discounted songs gets to be on the front page, but when you click "View All" you get a list of 196 discounted songs and Gaga's songs are NOT on that list!! Basically every song that's discounted is on that list except for Gaga's songs. I'm starting to believe that's some kind of an error.

I don't think people even look at the "Great 69c songs" section. They look at the price tag, and they are more likely to buy something that costs 69 cents than over a dollar.

But when are they looking at that price tag? When they search for the song that they were gonna buy anyway. The only way they can see it's discounted if they click on Joanne's  banner and see it there. But the font is so small so it's not even noticable.

And people DO look at the "Great 69c songs" section. Like that's the ONLY reason that Kiiara song is that high on iTunes.

I agree-- I mean, the entire album has a banner with the discounted songs inside lol. We are good
