A Greatest Hits, in my view, must balance showcasing the smash singles, but also faithfully representing the artist's career. Madonna included songs like "Hollywood" and "American Life" and "Sorry" on Celebration, but let's be real....those flopped. haha

P!nk included luke-warm singles as well. And Poor Xtina doesn't know what a smash hit looks like post 2004. You gotta lay out the career in a sense.

Sorry flopped? 😳 I remember hearing it a lot

Maybe in your city honey, but Sorry DID NOT flop.

What about a singles collection? So you can add Judas.

We like to brush "Judas" under the rug. Talk about a curveball.

 

Sorry, ladies, I'm being rash. "Sorry" didn't flop worldwide, but totally in the US. Gotta think globally. You get my point though, right?

no it didn't? it was the 4th biggest song of 2006 

EDIT: nvm, you corrected yourself already

[Spanish Eyes 2,279]

Y'ALL.

 

I repented for my sins. Let's move on to the real question.....Should she include PI?

I guess if she needs fillers to have enough tracks then sure

Greatest hits album with an unknown single??? Yeah ok very likely  

 

And in any case i feel she should wait at least 1 more era before doing a greatest hits album!

This is done by everyone tho. Britney for example put 3 new songs on her first Greatest Hits album and released only 2 of them as singles after the release. 

I agree that she should do one more era, but I don't think it is unlikely that a GH album is coming. The OP makes some good points

Of course! If she didn't include all the lead singles in a greatest hits album it would be very sad

Sadly, this is what I thought. I mean, I'd fight for DWUW. It had it's moments in the public eye. But PI.....that was a swing and a miss. It's still my favorite Gaga song ever, though.

Especially considering that the song didnt just do mediocre... but people literally didnt like it.

 

Everyone i know disliked it plus it got terrible callout scores

 

PI would be a stain on that track list

 

Judas would be better thab PI tbh. At least it went top 10, had a popular video and some people liked it (more than PI)

Hear me out.

I was aiming for balance among the albums. 3 from TF, 3 from TFM, 3 from BTW, 2 from ARTPOP, and 2 from Joanne + the new songs.

Of the 4 Fame singles, LoveGame is commercially the weakest. And Judas and MTN and GUY......well....yeahhhh
