US Charts Discussion (Gaga single tracking: August)

[WarriorPrince 1]

Excuse me but Supernatural is the best track Kesha has in her album, by far. It will be a huge hit if she releases it as a single.

Yes, I too think it's probably one of the best things she's done.

Loving it. :flutter:

[heavymlover 340]

I love Supernatural, but the verses are pretty bad, if you ask me. I think it would do fine... The chorus is super catchy, but I'm not sure if it's 100% radio material.

Wonder how much ARTPOP will make

[Ozzy8923 9]

Crazy Kids is the best choice for 3rd single. It is reminiscent of Flo Rida's standard pop tunes.

1) Ke$ha raps the chorus with a poppy beat a la Flo Rida.

2) A chorus with the whistle that was oh-so-common last year (I Wanna Go, Moves Like Jagger, and Whistle earlier this year).

It's a guaranteed hit. Not risky at all and fits perfectly in the scheme of pop radio. In a business view point, commercial ability of the song >>>>>> quality. Supernatural may be one of the best the record has to offer, but seeing as Ke$ha won't be selling album, she might as well sell singles and Crazy Kids would be a FAR bigger hit than Supernatural. Out Alive is another easy choice for single that should NOT be neglected.

[heavyMetalGAGA 65]

Your exactly right, but I think that this board often forgets how much the general public and pop radio does support Gaga. Every single she's released apart from Marry the Night and Eh, Eh (As if the latter even counts) has had the radio and general public behind her back.

Now I know you guys are about to rebuttal with the Judas incident, so let me elaborate. Had any other artist in the world released Judas, I'd bet you that the radio would have outright refused to play it. It received much hate and is still extremely controversial even today. However, it was a top 20 radio hit. This shows how much support she has by DJ's across the country. They were willing to believe in her second single and played it even when there was so much pressure not to.

After the single did end up crashing and burning after a few weeks, they still continued to support her Born This Way era. Usually if a second single does terrible, the radio won't play any other singles off of that album just to stay clear of any problems. This wasn't the case for Gaga. Within weeks, she had a single that was claiming the number 3 spot week and week again. This only proves the radio's dedication to Gaga.

I just wanted to remind everyone that the radio has literally supported every Gaga song, ever. Marry the Night just left a sour taste in everyone's mouth, but remember that you can't win every time. Honestly, MTN wasn't the best choice to begin with, and due to lack of public interest and general bad luck with the Christmas freeze, it lost support. However, don't let one single out of all three of her albums make you believe that the radio doesn't believe in Gaga.

:clap:

Radio would heavily support Crazy Kids once it'd be released as a single, hopefully after C'Mon. This would allow Ke$ha to extend her top 10 streak, her sole biggest achievement so far.

I'd also argue that Crazy Kids strays from Ke$ha's usual sound. It would be a good change from Die Young and C'mon.

[heavyMetalGAGA 65]

hasn't c'mon already flopped though, ruining her streak? or is she releasing it later?

[Klou 2,414]

There aren't any songs on Warrior that sound like sure fire hits to me. Supernatural would be my first guess, but like another person noted the verses suck. Out Alive is a bonus track, so they wouldn't release that as a single anytime soon anyway. Crazy Kids the verses are laughable... Love Into the Light may do well on multiple formats, but it's so different its hard to say.

It isn't her typical sound, but it's not too experimental (if I should even call it that) to perform badly. If released as a single, it would do very well.

The verses on Crazy Kids are amazing! Yea, they are corny and silly..but isn't that why people listen to Ke$ha in the first place?
