hoeslay 4,113 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 This is not a critique or a rant thread and it's completely subjective. Today at the dentist they were playing 102.7 KIIS fm, which is LA's biggest radio station. Within the span of 30 minutes they played God Is a Woman, No Tears Left to Cry, and Breathin + within like an hour or so God Is a Woman was played TWICE. I'm not saying this is necessarily a good thing, because this can sometimes be how songs die out because of overplay. I just think it's really fascinating that Ariana dropped 3 successful singles back to back and they all get CRAZY radioplay (maybe payola? but even so...sis come thru with that payola get ur coin b). Also Post Malone's Better Now played twice within an hour. I'm not saying I want Gaga to become a generic commercial artist who just sh*ts out singles (nor am I insinuating that that's what Ariana does because her singles are definitely bops). I just wanted to share my thoughts. I miss hearing Gaga on the radio all the time, and since The Fame/Monster era (which I already know people are gonna be like..times were different/it was her prime/etc.) I don't recall ever hearing more than ONE Gaga single play on the radio at a time except maybe BTW/The Edge of Glory. I'm hoping that with the success of ASIB and Shallow + Enigma, we'll hopefully get an amazing LG6 era full of bops that dominate the radio. #2020RadioIsOurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, she's not going to make generic radio music again. She did that with the singles I mentioned, gained notoriety and has since explored themes and sounds which are far from the standard. Forget about the singles chart, the album sales is what matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derpmonster 22,412 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 It can happen. Remember when we thought she wouldn't do streaming or wouldn't have another Top 3 hit? 7 minutes ago, Needlesslyrics said: No, she's not going to make generic radio music again.

She made The Cure. I think she can make trendy pop music if she wants to, still. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryJaneHolland 77,348 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 She doesn't need to dumb herself down and make "generic/mainstream music". I mean, everyone claims she resurrected the electro sound, so she was clearly releasing not so radio-friendly material when she was the most played on radio? To me, she needs to drop a pop album (Gaga type of pop, not Selena ) with catchy hooks and that certain Gaga X Factor attached to them, with videos that have a "wtf" moment/replay value and she might be a radio force again. Idk... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen 30,227 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 If Ariana was 10 years older putting out the same songs, she would be getting less airplay. It's a lot about the image and people want their artists to feel cool. I feel that's been Gaga's biggest hurdle for commercial hits is appearing "cool" again. If she was seen as cool The Cure would have been way bigger. I'm curious to see the reaction to her pop music after all the acclaim ASIB is getting.

When TEOG and DWUW were buzz singles, in a matter of hours, days they became singles sent to radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
