Let’s be real.

No song from Chromatica sounds particularly radio friendly 

Also, it’s not like pop radio is rooting for Gaga. We all know her trajectory when it comes to getting radio hits in the US.

No matter what she would choose as a 3rd single, I don’t see it getting more than 25-30 million audience at its peak (and I am being optimistic). Wheter it’s 15 million or 20 or 25 million, it won’t make much of a difference either. Without radio airplay (at least in the US) it’s practically impossible to launch into succes a song that already came out with the album months ago, unless it becomes viral on TikTok or smth like that.

This. ( I feel like only Free Woman could sort of be accepted on radios, but US radio would potentially still say no to it lol).

I actually dont see 911 doing more than 10m audience (and might perform worse than GUY). It is the most streamed album track, so im only focusing on the video + viral factor + streaming on this single

I still think Fun Tonight would be a good choice for radios

im not sure the radio looks at your age and the minute youre 30 they stop playing you.

With pop radio, yes. They don't play you if you're a female over 30 unless it either charts high right off the bat or like a major event happens (see: Shallow, Oscars 2019; MR, SB LI  2017)

For HAC, yeah.

They still just won't play her on pop that easily.

If that was the case I can also see Alice and Free Woman as UK singles. SFA is too dated IMO, even for Europe. 

At least with SFA you know for sure that's going to be a really acclaimed single, a song like free woman would never work nowadays because it has nothing wow in it, it just feels too much like a random song too choose as a single. SFA definitelly has the potential to be a hit even if it feels a bit dated, its a song that everyone would love

I don’t know almost all of my local friends didn't react well to the song. A lot of them thought it sounded like a Tomorrowland track and my boyfriend said it sounds like a car commercial track.

FW should have retained at least some of the gritty demo production. The fact that they wiped everything off to make it that sonically bland and uninteresting is just mind-boggling to me

I saw a lot of reaction videos of it and pretty much everyone loved it,  the critics love it aswell, my mom who doesn't even listen to foreign music that much also loves the song....Its a song that both young & mature people can enjoy

This.

it went from FREE MF WOMAN to free bathroom break 

I still enjoy the album version though, some user on here made an edit of the album vocals on the Demo production which was amazing

I feel like Billie Eillish will have a lana-like trajectory... Hugely successful debut album with a couple of hits/streaming juggernauts... and from now on everything will be supported by her big fanbase but it'll rarely (if ever) gain huge mainstream attention, let's see tho

I don't think it's fair to count Billie out just yet. Lana never had an audience as young as Billie. Lana's songs are very mature, in the sense that they talk about adult topics in a poetic way. Billie's are more relatable to the young folks battling depression, anxiety, societal pressure etc. And her audience is HUGE and they are all mostly from the streaming gen. She also had six Grammys just from her first era. I think she'll continue to achieve success, just not as huge as her debut era. But she will probably remain mainstream for a few eras. That's pretty likely.

[Noir 13,009]

Stupid Love and Rain On Me are the most radio-friendly tracks and she's used them, I don't really see 911 smashing on radio but at this stage, she's got two top 10 hits from this era. Cool, is it likely we'll get another? No.

The only way I see her getting nay more top 10's in the US this era is if she drops SC with a massive video or promotes the life and death out of Free Woman and it exceeds everybody's expectations. 

[Justin Drew Bieber 25,321]

I agree about Free Woman, it went from a Scheiße to a Closer
