Make An ARTPOP Era That Would've SHOOK Pop Culture!

[Isidro Guevara 821]

So we all know the ARTPOP era had many missed opportunities due to the circumstances around that time. Let's pretend everything was perfect and none of the negative things that happened then existed.

If you were Gaga, how would your ARTPOP era look like that would've made an impact? Mine would go like this:

March.2013: Around this time, Gaga teases fans about her new music and releases a 10 minute mini-film titled, "Aura, MJH, Dope: An ARTPOP Film". The film goes over many visuals and a voice over of Gaga talking about ART and POP culture meanwhile instrumentals of the mentioned tracks play in the background.

May.2013: Gaga releases "Applause" as the first single from her upcoming album. She later performs the song at the BBMA's. She releases the same MV as the one we have. It peaks at #3 on BBH100. Some fans are dissapointed with the track but the GP LOVES it! It becomes her biggest radio hit!

August.2013:  The second single off the album , "G.U.Y.", is released. The fans instantly eat it up! She performs it at the VMA's and its MV features a guy (Zedd) and group of friends who enter into a sexy and "futuristic Ancient Greek" themed world where Gaga is a seductress and plans to rule the world. It goes viral and the song peaks at #6 on BBH100. 

ARTPOP album is released on August 19, 2013. One week before, promotional single "Sexxx Dreams" is released. 2nd promotional single "Venus" is released same day as album and Gaga says it was the last track she made for the album and her favorite. 

November.2013: The most popular track on the album, "Do What You Want" featuring The Weeknd, is requested wildly by fans and even non-fans alike to be the third single, some even calling it "the new Bad Romance". Of course, it does become the 3rd single and is released in late November and performed at the AMA's. Now, the track gains even MORE traction due to the unknown feature and the controversial lyrics surrounding the song. Gaga talks about the song passionately in interviews and performs it aggressively with passion. The MV features a GymQuarium (gymnasium-aquarium hybrid) where Gaga works out and enters many rooms and wears many outfits including the controversial "newspaper dress" and is also stalked by a faceless dark figure( The Weeknd). The MV is deemed controversial due to Gaga's new provocative but unique image and the sexual and surreal imagery. The track is once again performed at the Grammys in early 2014 and it becomes the biggest hit of the era, peaking at #1 on BBH100 for 4 weeks, becoming Gaga's 6th #1 after JD, PF, BR,BTW, and TEOG. 

March/April 2014: Around the hype of DWUW, Gaga releases "Jewels N' Drugs" as an urban radio single(no MV). It peaks at #44 on BBH100. In late March, Gaga makes "MANiCURE" the 4th single off the album, leaving the fans shook and some dissapointed, thinking it would be "Gypsy". The track is very well received due to its unique mixture of glam rock, trap, and pop. It doesn't gain much traction until 2 months later and the MV is deemed extremely weird, even for a Gaga MV, since it is an homage to the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" film and many 70's horror films. Some compare it to the "Telephone" MV. Gaga sports black hair and bangs and has a very trashy yet bad-ass attitude during the "MANiCURE" era, reminding some of the BTW era. The song surprisingly peaks at #24 on the BBH100, becoming viral, and is even praised by other artists such as Adele saying it's their favorite song EVER! 

Gaga goes on tour in May 2014, leaving many fans wondering if there will be a 5th single. 

August.2014: Fan's suspicions become true when Gaga releases "Gypsy" as the 5th and final single from the album. Many fans begin to cry when she says it'll be the last single and to make it worth, promote the song EVERYWHERE! By the end of 2014, it becomes very popular even though it is the least promoted single of the era. The MV is very simple and colorful showing Gaga in a pixie haircut playing the piano in a fairytale setting and walking/traveling while the background shows many countries. The song peaks at #12 on the BBH100 and becomes a special song for many who hear it. ❤

The End

Sorry about the long post but I had nothing to do and have always had this idea in my head. I would like to know your legendary ARTPOP era and how it would go.

[seashellplay 512]

yes sis! 

 

My artpawpuh era would go as so (Gagzies borrowed power from aphrodite and her hip could never break and all ARTPOP content was ready and we lived in a purrfect wurrld  :3 ): 

 

December 2012: Applause release - Applause is the lead single (Would likely hit No. 1 b/c it's Gagzies and she had no competition) - Keep the original music video because that embodies the reverse warhol motif and Applause MV is ICAWNIC!

- Let fans enjoy the Applause era and wet themselves - 

February 2013: Aura release - Supporting single. Would've done much better in 2013 because EDM was just more prominent in Pop Music. Non-controversial music video, replace the word Burqa entirely b/c we don't want ARTPOPpy to go phloppy  (Would likely hit No. 9 or something then fall into obscurity) 

- Aura era!!!! Rarah can wear artsy **** symbolizing why people dun understahnd hurr

Early April 2013: Guy Ft. Zedd (Stole this idea thnx *****) - Supporting single, EDM track, would hit likely No. 19 or smth idrc i just want artpoop act tOO HAAHHAAHAHA candy warhol 

- SaaHANONONONENEORnpeip power bottom era ALALALALAA crack - 

ARTPOP: Released April 2013 YAAAAY!!!! have a celebration and dress up as a man

May 2013: Dwuw ft. Cupcakke!!! NON CONTROVERSIAL MV (Dwuw would hit No. 1 b/c it's ****ing spring 2013)

 

Gypsy ends off the era and then we get Joanne early and then LG6 would be released years from now 

 

then dress up in the fish dress to represent aphrodite's home, the hooker's ocean

That 1-2-3 punch of Aura, Venus, and G.U.Y would've been ICONIC!!!

[KatieJudasGaga4 67,907]

Gypsy not making the top 10, no. 

[seashellplay 512]

you fatasses releasing inappropriate songs like VENUS as singles hUNNY ARTPOP would FLAHP and interscope would boot her seashell bikini

[HoneyB 27,926]

Idk about an era but DWYW as the first single should’ve been a duet with Beyoncé, and the entire video would’ve been them dancing/making out. Not saying it would’ve been good but definitely a shocking pop culture moment!

[seashellplay 512]

we all know dwuw applause and guy are the best contenders for singles...... aura idk and gypsy is just some generic radio song  for soccer moms to cry to

Almost though lol! I tried to make the era as realistic as possible,with a few delusions of course!

[seashellplay 512]

Gypsy would be super popular but with a different audience it would be like baseball coaches and cleaning ladies

That's what ARTPOP tried to do (but failed), to reach many audiences with its many influences of many genres (trap, disco,rock, alternative,etc).

I think most of the  ARTPOP tracks are single worthy except for maybe Aura, Swine, MJH, and Dope. 

[seashellplay 512]

honestly i can stand fans on here who suck the tit of ARTPOP all day long and claim it's her greatest work and is underrated because it's really not - virtually everyone on here loves mjh and venus or some **** - but ARTPOP really was going to be big and had good intentions and it's a shame it was delayed + the clash of ideas

The issue is you can't release whatever the hell you want as singles - Singles require a **** ton of money and if they flop Interscope loses money. BTW had so many fkin singles because it was a hit

Spoiler

Pre-Era

November 2012 - Zedd releases ‘Stache (feat. Lady Gaga)’ (with more polished vocals and deeper lyrics) to pop radio around the world. Zedd blows up and Gaga recognizes it as “a taste of ARTPOP”

December 25, 2012 - As a Christmas present, Gaga shares that ARTPOP will be released “before the second half of 2013”

-hip break magically never happens-

March 20, 2013 - By surprise, Gaga performs a new song, ‘Applause’, after the final stop of the BTWB for fans in the Monster Pit. Prior to the show, super fans who saw the performance are asked not to record the song but to tweet and post about it ALL OVER social media. Videos featuring the song on social media are removed. 

The ARTPOP Era

March 25, 2013 - Gaga continues the shock strategy and releases Applause onto radio and digital/ streaming platforms, debuting the song and music video on the same day. At the end of the music video, Gaga announces that ARTPOP will be released on June 10, 2013 alongside an interactive app of the same name to launch May 10, 2013. Debuts at #3 and stays in the top 10 for 14 weeks

May 10, 2013 - The ARTPOP App launches on the App Store and the Google Play Store. Alongside the Gif Maker and GagaTV (an outlet where Gaga news, updates, and exclusive content shows up in a social media style feed) functions in the app, a countdown of one month begins for a function called TrakStar, which Gaga announces will launch the day of the album’s release featuring all stems, instrumentals, and a capellas from the album. Gaga also reveals that alternative vocal takes will be an exclusive feature found in the app on launch day. Gaga’s first post on GagaTV appears later that day, a special video message from Gaga revealing that a promo single, ‘Aura’ will be released the following Monday. 

May 13, 2013 - Aura is released onto digital and streaming platforms. Debuts at #17.

May 20, 2013 - Gypsy is released onto digital and streaming platforms as the second promo single from ARTPOP. Debuts at #19

- Behind the scenes, Gaga and her team monitor both fan and GP critical and commercial reaction to both promo singles and decide between the controversial route, Aura, or the poppy, upbeat route, Gypsy, to act as the second official single from the album. As the GP appreciates an experimental EDM track, Aura, after the popfection of Applause, and fans craze over hints from Gaga that Aura would be a “strong” contender to have its music video serve as the continuation to Telephone, it is chosen as the second single -

June 9, 2013 - artRave - Same party style we got. Gaga performs Aura, ARTPOP, Venus, Sexxx Dreams, Gypsy, MANiCURE, Swine, and Applause. Gaga announces Aura will serve as the second radio single from the album.

June 10, 2013 - ARTPOP is released. On the ARTPOP App, TrakStar unlocks, revealing all the work parts of all 15 tracks present on the album, in addition to alternative vocal takes of various song sections on the album. The music video for Aura is released, featuring Beyoncé as the continuation of Telephone. ARTPOP debuts at #1 and Aura re-enters the Top 20. Aura is performed at The Voice finale the following week and later reaches #4, claiming a spot in the top 10 the rest of the summer.

August 2013 - G.U.Y., marketed to radio as ‘G.U.Y. (feat. Zedd)’ is promoted as the third official single from the album. Gaga performs the single at the VMAs. Peaks at #12 but spends 10 weeks in the top 15. Also becomes a bigger radio hit than Applause

September 2013 - iTunes Festival and iHeart Radio Festival.

November 2013 - Gypsy is promoted as the fourth official single from the album. Peaks at #7 and spends 8 weeks in the top 10.

okayyyy that’s already too much detail 

If you call yourself a little manager like me this will be your type of spoiler worth reading
