KyliesChild 16,907 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Absolutely not - It isn't radio friendly, it doesn't have a "replay factor", nobody cared about the John Wayne video when it was released, and the list goes on. John Wayne is boring unless you're watching it live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottleblonde 2,342 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yes I do. More than PI, but that won’t be difficult Black Aura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bling 12,253 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Better than Perfect Illusion but not too much of a hit tbh What if it had been a hit? Imagine John Wayne in the Superbowl instead of Million Reasons Sigmund Freud, analyze this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayo 7,664 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 YES! It's not one of her most streamed non-singles on Spotify for nothing. Make it stupid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreu 37,216 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I don't know but it would have been a smooth transition from the TFM Gaga the GP liked and the new Joanne Gaga in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doot 2 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I don’t think so. It’s a decent song, but aside from MR, nothing on the album stands out as single material. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke78619 23,330 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yes, whenever I've played the album to friends, they've all liked John Wayne. Although "hit" would be unlikely, I think it would've maybe got attention along with the MV and promo 8 minutes ago, KyliesChild said: Absolutely not - It isn't radio friendly, it doesn't have a "replay factor", nobody cared about the John Wayne video when it was released, and the list goes on.

TEANUS 15,086 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Definitely. I took 3 GP friends to see her in Pittsburgh and they pick it, Million Reasons, Dancin In Circles, A-YO, and Come to Mama as their faves. Not saying CTM would've been a good single, but maybe it should've gotten a plug at the Grammys with Angel Down or Million Reasons. John Wayne definitely could've worked as a single...as the lead idk? A-YO or hell even Perfect Illusion fit as the lead better for me, John Wayne just feels underwhelming as a lead. A great song, and one of my all time faves but lead single?? Perfect Illusion could've done perfectly fine had it gotten a better, calculated push. Radios were ready to play Gaga, iHeartRadio was plugging her every 5 seconds on social media leading up to its release. Put out the video on release week (which should've been VMAs week mind you, we know the single was done, radios heard it in August) and it would've been an EASY top 10 debut which would trickle down. More people would hear it >> more exposure >> more radio >> more exposure, etc. etc. Million Reasons was great for its timing, people ate it up when they heard it. A better performing PI would've led to momentum for MR on radio, meaning by SB it would be in a good position for SB to give it a last huge push. MR could've been dead by the end of February. March and April could've been John Wayne with the video that had been filmed just as it was. Just let it do what it can with post SB hype and the momentum from PI and MR. The Cure could've been released just as it was but then sent to radio in May with a video, radio, and streaming push in time for summer. Top it off with a performance on The Voice and that's all that would be needed. Finish the era off in August with DIC and a sexy video and a performance at the VMAs. BAM.

LadyLuca 2,550 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I think John Wayne is one of her best songs and that many people missed this hit. I listen to it very very often! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWayne97 550 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Bigger than perfect illusion, but the lead should have been million reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
