There's been a lot of talk about how some songs on Joanne are not radio friendly. But I say the whole album is not radio friendly for one reason or another.ย 

Diamond Heart: It's alternative sound is not trendy

A-Yo: Most radio friendly song but it still has a non trendy country vibe

Million Reasons: Radio Friend lyrics but not a typical sound for a ballad

Perfect Illusion: Catchy but it's 80s and alternative sound are just not in. Also it's vocals are not the typical smooth vocals people are use to in today's music scene.

Joanne: Pretty much the same as MR. Too folksy for radio

Dancing In Circles: has the most radio friendly sound but still weird. It's masturbation lyrics might be a turnoff.

John Wayne: Fun and energetic but still heavy on county and rock.

Siner's Prayer: relatable lyrics but when was the last time you heard a Western sound on radio?

Hey Girl: Once again relatable lyrics but not a mainstream sound.

Angel Down: A good message and good vocals but might be too political for many.

Come to Mama: Fun song with great message but it's 60s sound is not in.

Bonus tracks: Basically the same non-trendy sound problem.

So as you can see, Gaga simply made what she wanted to make with Joanne in terms of themes, sound, and styles with little regard for mainstream trendy music. So if she is to have a hit this era, it will be because the radio decides to take a risk in one of her songs.

REALITY

Mostย of the album, I'd say is not radio-friendly. In an earlier interview she did mention that there was no intention to make this album very GP and radio-friendly; however, I'd argue that some songs are pretty digestible for the GP.

Oh, but the argument about Dancin' In Circles not being GP-friendly because of its lyrics, to me at least, isn't necessarily a valid as to it not being 'GP-friendly'.ย There have plenty of songs today, and in the past, that had suggestive lyrics, but still were incredible hits.

MR is radio friendly. Its charting happened thanks to the messy promo

DIC's lyrics are ok, considering songs about sex dominated radio (S&M, Side To Side, Anaconda, etc)

ย 

The majority of the album isn't radio friendly, there still are some songs that are pretty okay for the radio though. She doesn't need radio to sell the album/tour, and it's certainly irrelevant because we're in the streaming era, so people would stream the hell outta it IF they liked it.

there is no way there isn't at least one radio-friendly track from Joanne. I think the issue now is if radio doesn't like Gaga as an artist anymore

sexual lyrics of DIC goes under the radar and over the heads of the GP. Whistle by Flo Ride is about blowjobs and the GP ate it up. Side to side is being ****ed so good and raw Ariana could barely walk. Closer references sex while inside a car and look how many weeks it stayed at #1.

Well it always sells... To me the only possible hit song on this album. I thought MR would be a very successful song that would be radio friendly...ย I guess no Gaga ballads are made to become hits.
