What if Judas wasn't released on Easter?

I think the BTW singles should have been:

BTW

TEOG

MTN 

Y&I

Hair

In my opinion the singles should have been:

1. The Edge Of Glory [2/11]

2. Born This Way (US & Germany only) [4/15] 

3. Scheiße (WW except Germany) [5/09]

4. Heavy Metal Lover [8/16]

5. Bloody Mary [10/21]

The GP wasn't into it at all, so... 

BUT, US would love the lyrics & Germany would need a single

A lot of you blame Judas for Gaga's mainstream downfall but I'd argue that the real reason was BTW the single and the way too heavy promo where Gaga lowkey alienated the GP. 

It was that time when it clearly became too gay to listen to Lady Gaga and the fragile straight audience tried to avoid her as much as possible.

 

It's true but I'm crying a bit

Hmm sis, BTW (the song) did considerably better worldwide than in the US, especially in Asia where it's one of her biggest hits. It managed to pull 10M pure sales worldwide and according to the UWC, it was the 7th biggest of 2011 worldwide, not too bad... Also, why would Germany need a single but the rest of the world wouldn't

The same would have happened to Fashion Of His Love or even Highway Unicorn. People only bought it because it was her come back single. She was at the highest peak ever for an artist at the time. 

And Germany would need a single since Scheiße wouldn't have been released there.

Judas was a hit  USA isn’t the whole world

Interesting thought process but like... no

LWYMMD was also Taylor's comeback single and it's nowhere near 10M sales WW, not even in SPS

LWYMMD was released late 2017, BTW was released in early 2011, it's totally different. 

And please, don't compare them. 1989 Taylor's success multiplied by 5 is nowhere near TFM Gaga's success (divided by two) lmao

[tezbear91 737]

Yeah I always thought the singles should have gone...

 

Born This Way

The Edge of Glory 

Scheisse 

Hair

That's why I said not even in SPS, meaning that LWYMMD doesn't compare to BTW even if we count streaming, which is actually bigger now than in 2011.

You're so delusional lmao

The Fame sold around 10M copies ww

1989 sold around the same.

The Fame Monster (rerelease/ep) sold around 6M copies ww

TF/M has the edge but you're delusional for thinking it's that big of a difference

First of all, the sales climate doesn't work like that at all. In 2018,the sales are dead. 

Also, I didn't say that The Fame Monster sold more than 1989, read again. I said the truth, that Gaga was WAAAAAAAY more successful in 2009 than Taylor has ever been. Gaga was literally on top of the World, whereas Taylor or anyone else has never been that big in a moment of their carreer. Of course it didn't last but it's not the point

The only reason Judas didnt hit so well was because the average fan found it to be too similar to Bad Romance.  Even the Church said it didnt bother them. This controversy every puts on it really didnt exist.   It's a fave song of mine tho.
