don't think any of the album tracks would've smashed like Born This Way did as a lead. 

That's because during BTW era she was hyped and people had high expectations after TFM era. If ARTPOP had been released earlier it could've had more success.

I've never liked the idea of DWUW as a lead. It's more of a song to sell the album and build/keep momentum. 

I'll WRECK U right Up...G.U.Y.!!!🌋💥

I've always though DWUW was the most radio friendly song on the album, and the only song from ARTPOP I still regularly listen to

Wait it lacks a chorus? Literally no one has been saying things like this since the Stupid Love demo leaked and people have been saying songs like GUY and ROM don't have one even though they clearly do :bradley:

Well, it has a chorus, just not much of one

“I wanna be that g.uy.” repeated over and over :selena:

its not much :selena: can you imagine people singing along?

The "love me, love me please retweet" line could've gone viral in 2013! It's a fun and bombastic track that could've garnered attention due to its smart and gender bending lyrics.

Yes actually, it's a REALLY catchy line, and one that grabs people's attention, but yeah, I guess people just don't really care about the song too much considering it scored really low on the charts :reductive:

If it allowed, I think it should be the fifth, and the last single.

1. Applause

2. Venus

3. Aura

4. Do What U Want

5. G.U.Y.

What’s the obsession with people wanting Aura and Venus as singles? Aura would have confused the GP and Venus is not single material. They both would’ve flopped so hard. Applause was the right move, even though it wasn’t relatable. 

Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views!

I really like that line, but even stans here didn’t even know what that meant until it was discussed in the Chromatica Thread :selena:

I always thought G.U.Y should have been the second single. It’s the song I listen to most on ARTPOP. I always thought it was catchy AF.

No, I think Applause was the right move. Very Gaga and very catchy. I think G.U.Y should have been the 2nd single.

Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views!

TBH DWUW should've been the lead, but in a perfect world where R Kelly was already in jail by 2013, and it was with Frank Ocean/Nas singing the R Kelly lines

 

THIS! I always thought she should have either released the solo version or done it with JT who was incredibly popular at that time. I also think Gypsy would have smashed, though I don't really love it but the GP would have.

when she announced that a prominent rapper would be featured on one of the tracks I prayed that it would be Frank Ocean...

Tbh the the only radio friendly tracks for me were Applause, G.U.Y., DWUW, and Gypsy. The others were too odd, silly, or not strong enough to stand as singles.

I still don't get how G.U.Y didn't blow up and I wondered if it was because it wasn't the lead single and at that point it was over.

I love Applause, it's such a fun song, but the lyrics aren't relatable and ultimately...I feel like that's the problem with why some songs are bops but if you sing the lyrics and don't resonate with them...it's trouble. either way, both are bops but maybe GUY should of been the first single.

This! I always imagined the era going something like this:

Applause

G.U.Y. ft. Zedd

Do What U Want ft. Frank Ocean

Gypsy
