Oh please had PI been a hit everyone would love it here. Just deal with the fact that PI is one of the best songs on Joanne and was the perfect lead, too bad it didn't connect and there wasn't any promo for it.

If it didn't connect how was it the perfect lead? 
I love the song to death but it took me like atleast 20 plays until i really digged it, i think the song was to much of a grower to ever become a big hit. Singles should sound good the first time unless you are lucky that the radio plays the song so much that you can't ignore it.

PI is a fantastic song. But the GP was not here for it. Sadly..

Because there wasn't any song with lead potential...what do you suggest? If it was Million Reasons this site would burn her to the ground (ME INCLUDED), John Wayne and Diamond Heart streams show how poorly they would do. Dancin In Circles is too racy for radio. PI had was the perfect bridge to take us to her "new sound" it is the most Gaga song on the album, it has punch and it's edgy (maybe a little too much for the gp)

yep hey girl and A-Yo is also over it. PI had quite much promo with the video shoot and everything in the documentary but still those 3+MR ofc manages to sell more. It's not maybe hated but not liked either by the gp.

Main question did they even work for Pi???

as you guys can see it was done deal for Superbowl even before Pi released

they layed on Superbowl and released this album. And didnt do much for Pi

i hope they will work for next lead as they did with applause , born this Way.

I love PI. But that song is NOISY. A little fine tuning could have made wonders for the song. AYO should have been the lead. Catchy, not noisy, and a bop.

She sang PI and MR on Carpool Karaoke, everyone was wondering what's the last song's name, no one asked about the first one...both had no promo at that time and MR wasn't even an official single back then!

so yeah it didnt connect

That's a good way to put it - it just wasn't sonically pleasing to listeners. Whether you call it noisy or brash, or the way she screamed the chorus, it did not have the sonicalities of a hit song. As much as some of you may love it, it just didn't connect. I think in hindsight her team would agree that PI was not the perfect choice for 1st single.
