No LG6 till like a year from now. Keep pushing ASIB, and ARUTW. Smash 2nd second single, and the album could reach up to 8m ww SPS.

Its melody is so damn catchy.

Its lyrics are just so beautifully written, especially "when the sun goes down, and the band won't play, I'll ARUTW"

I prefer longevity over a new single that could flop?

But ARUTW probably wouldn’t affect Shallow longevity at all. If it’s pushed as a single the worst that could happen is that radio completely drops Shallow to push ARUTW, which honestly, wouldn’t be catastrophic. Shallow managed to have longevity and a nice peak with no radio support, which has already come too late to make a big difference.

I might be the minority here, but I don’t think she should release ARUTW (or really any other song) as the second single. I think she should ride the success and hype of Shallah into the lead single of LG6, which, let’s face it, is probably coming this year.

Here’s my rationale. Here me out:

If we do a cost/benefit comparison of the two situations (second single vs. no second single), the answer becomes clearer. 

 

The benefit of releasing a second single is that it *probably* will have great momentum and could potentially milk the rest of the intangible hype of ASIB for all it’s worth. In other words, we have enough going right at the moment that a second single could do well. But here’s the thing. That’s all it will do - well. It may help extend sales of the soundtrack / DVD, but nothing significant.

 

The cost of this situation is much greater. First, we risk expending all of the momentum that Shallow / ASIB has built in terms of her overall popularity. Check Google Trends (search her name and look a the big picture timeline). Her google searches have skyrocketed recently. Unless ARUTW smashes (it won’t because radio won’t push it, the video is out already, and we have no more promotional moments that could actually make a big difference), it will produce a net reduction in her popularity. 

 

——

The benefit of holding off is that we have literally tons of positive feedback and fame pouring in for Gaga right now, and if she rides that into the LG6 lead, and assuming it’s not a big week in music, she can easily score a top 10 debut, if not top 3. Think about it. The LG6 lead will more than likely be more radio friendly, she would have a radio deal, her streaming is being repaired right now, and her sales are usually quite dependable. If you throw in her general acclaim / popularity of 2019, it provides an excellent boost to make LG6 into a career defining album era.

 

The costs of this route are minimal. If she holds off, then ARUTW, Shallow, and ASIB will go recurrent naturally with no boost in sales at the end or extension of charting. Which....let’s face it...did we *need* that? All great soundtracks have the ONE song that defines the moment. Ours is “Shallow.” We did what we needed to do to solidify her slayage this era. Anything else is icing on the cake, and I, for one, am fine with holding off on the icing so that the next cake is MASSIVE.

I agree with your case for holding off. But I don’t see the risks of ARUTW as a single. I don’t see how it would reduce Gaga’s popularity. The song has already done well, releasing it as a single would be a way to give it and the soundtrack a final push, which would be something beneficial.

If it doesn’t work and the song does nothing on the radio, then nothing really happens. The song has already done pretty well, it would not be a new flop single that would tarnish Gaga’s reputation, and it would not hurt Gaga’s relationship with radio because it’s already bad.

If it “flops” then the status quo stays exactly the same, the GP wouldn’t even notice it and she could go on with option 2 and hold off till LG6.

"when the sun goes down, and the band won't play" is strongly related to the movie.

Jackson's flag is basically the Arizona state flag, which has a sun. Sun goes down -> death. Band won't play -> JM's band no longer plays when he's gone.
