imnotyourbabe10 6,102 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Was surprised at how much radio play it was getting (at least near me in the US). And, at first, definitely didn't think it was going to be such a hit (though I thought the Oscar chances were high). Don't get me wrong, I love ASIB so very much. However, it is a fuggin' downer film. I am not uplifted by it in any way. It's heartbreaking and so flawlessly filmed and acted but it's just one of those I can't watch or listen to over and over.

Bio 23,538 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I thought it was gonna be a minor hit like Do What U Want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 50,315 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Why does it have to be either a success or a flop? The poll has nothing in between so I didn't vote I didn't think it was gonna flop but I didn't think it would be a big hit either I thought it was going to be a moderate hit like Million Reasons or You and I Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what happened It won the Oscar but it didn't top the BB200 since that is an album chart and Shallow is a single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 60,208 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Not like this no. I'm surprised everyone's going CRAZY about it because it's just a good song, on an ordinary level, if not a little short tbh! But I'm glad, she deserves it.

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 No. I thought some success with the trailer version but then when the full version came out I thought it wouldn't do much. Glad to have been surprised and I really fell in love with it after a couple listens to get used to its very such different structure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Bardot 3,990 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Yeah but I never thought it was going to be #1. No one did. Almost everyone said it was going to peak at #30-#10 max I thought it was going to be a top 10 hit but nothing else pooiota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas Society 3,584 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I kinda stopped caring if it's gonna be a success or not. I'd be happy if any of Gaga's work became a success, but I've been caught up by the game of charts and streams so badly during ARTPOP era that I was completely exhausted by it that I couldn't appreciate ARTPOP for the music itself. It became toxic. So I just started enjoying whatever it is that she puts out. I was very surprised that ASIB became a cultural phenomenon that it is today, not because I didn't think Gaga doesn't have what it takes, mainly just because the GP finally caught on to something that is not pure pop music for once in a long time.
