Hopefully MR has a long and healthy run on AC radio. 10-15M on AC with recurrent play on HAC heading into Grammy nomination season would be great

**** The Cure :poot:

I can't believe that people think The Cure is over after the roller coaster of Million Reasons. Radio saw the light after it held on in the Top 10 for a few weeks. The Cure has a great shot of hitting Top 10 on iTunes right now and if Interscope is smart they'll keep the discount and/or get PR/subPR this week

So glad i did not buy tickets yet. I knew i should wait until fan vids are out to see if it will be worth it. Yall are in for a surprise in terms of the lack of good visuals for this tour. Would love to be proven wrong though and if those fan vids are good ill buy tickets for me and family asap.

Im worried but I think Gaga wont dissapoint, even if it looks like it...  Remember when we were worried for a simple Superbowl? Yeah...

Imagine if its just her on a guitar the whole 2 hours though :toofunny:

Interscope paid for MR on pop. They're not paying this time, although it'll probably end up doing well on HAC on its own.

Seems she's now an HAC artist. She should just embrace it and keep making Joanne-style music and singles at this point. Pop/Top 40 doesn't seem to want her, nor do the kiddies

This irks me so much. I know MR was pushed hard by Interscope on radio post Super Bowl, but that was because Perfect Illusion did poorly on Pop radio they didn't want to touch Million Reasons. Gaga can be successful still on Top 40, The Cure can still be successful. If it was a lead single with a radio deal it would have continued to rise faster. If Perfect Illusion wasn't such a different song compared to the rest of the Top 40, her singles would be at a  a different place today. Singles following the lead usually ride off of the success of the lead.   Top 40 radio is reluctant to any artists songs today after a "flop". Look at Katy Perry now. The appeal for Gaga is still there with the GP, but the strategizing and marketing isn't.

To put this into perspective, MR only doubled PI's radio AI ( I say only because it feels like a much, much bigger hit) and TC has yet to reach PI's AI. 

I wish we could know how well TC would've done as a lead single with a lead single radio and Spotify push.

She's still filming A Star Hates Promo? :toofunny:

I feel like she's going to give us something The Cure-related this week. Maybe syringe pens and candy pills will get added to her shop :awkney:

PI would gone nowhere without the radio deal thought. TC and MR would both done amazing with deals,  promo and lead single hype.

I totally agree with this and it's not a bad thing at all. Adele is a HAC artist through and through and look at her.

With HAC and AC, there's more longevity, less "keeping up with the Jone's", wider audience, and the chance for potential crossover appeal to pop or alternative, without the pressure of the constant sonic shifting and politics of Pop radio.

Honestly, kids may not be here for Gaga, but know who is...my grandparents (they love here; thanks Cheek to Cheek), my parents (especially my dad; he LOVES Joanne), and some of my coworkers in their 30s who appreciate her talent. She definitely has a relatively untapped base beyond the pop demographic that actually buy music still.

I feel part of my opinion is based on my own age. I'm 27 and grew up with Gaga. I'm at at that age now where pop radio has almost no appeal and aside from alternative radio, I find myself listening to HAC and AC radio. It's way more enjoyable.
