The Clown 539 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 1 hour ago, PETTY said: Sexxx Dreams would’ve scalped as a first single and would’ve slayed Roar No, it wouldn't. Just because you like it, it doesn't mean it had any chances against Roar. Roar was the lead single off the follow up to Teenage Dream, one of the biggest pop eras of all time and was thus going to become an historic hit no matter what. It is literally in league with Bad Romance or Poker Face in terms of how comercially successful it was. To believe Gaga had any chance of topping that kind of song in 2013, regardless of what the lead single was, is simply delusional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister 9,907 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I am not mad of course, but I think that Sexxx Dreams would have been a more fun lead single and a follow of Applause would have grabbed the general public better, to follow that. She would have been more her usual edgy and quirky, that she still was known as back then. But, things went alright at the beginning, with what was done. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillie 115 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I’m not mad at all. I loved Applause as the lead single and I still do. That song as lead single holds very special memories. I think it was a great choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuphoricVibez 9 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If it was Sexxx Dreams with Rihanna, that would have been iconic. It would probably have done much better than Applause did, but I still love Applause. It's an amazing lead single He/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister 9,907 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I also would have hated it if it featured Robin Thicke, honestly. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenMortuana 1,196 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nah I'm fine with it. I don't think it would have performed better than Applause and then everyone on this forum would be picking on her for choosing SD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giskardsb 12,565 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I remember tons of people saying "It won't work as a single because it's too sexual....", and yet here we are with WAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
