COOOK 76,406 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I recently read this article about the 911 remixes and this is how it starts: "A lot of terrible things have happened in 2020 — including the depressing failure of pop fans to send “911” to the top of the charts. The catchiest song on Lady Gaga’s Chromatica has peaked at number one… on the Bubbling Under chart, despite going viral on TikTok and possessing one of the best videos of Mother Monster’s career. She even got in a little promo at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards. Well, hopefully the arrival of a killer remix package will remind people just how hard the song goes." I'm genuinely confused. Was 911 ever announced though? I only recall the music video announcement, then silence after its release, and then sometime later her bios suddenly read "911 OUT NOW". Did we as a fan base failed to support it? Was it all out of confusion with this rollout? To this day I still see comments of people not knowing if this was in fact a single; some consider Sour Candy the third single and 911 the fourth, others say SC came and went as a promo single while 911 being the proper third single. What I feel with all this is just - Anyway the song has been praised here and there by music critics, non-Gaga fans and basically anyone with a fine appreciation of music, yet nobody was there for it? What happened? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLa 19,270 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It wasn’t sent to radio in the US, so it really didn’t have a chance to chart. Fan support can only do so much. That dig about it shooting to the top of Bubbling Under is a bit rude imo because that was during Chromatica’s release week and is fine for an album track imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miky 9,476 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Lol they didn't make it an official single just to avoid it being called a flop I guess that's how she's gonna roll from now on. Too many people here with moral superiority complex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatfoxyfeeling 12,901 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It’s pretty obvious Gaga herself didn’t care if it charted or not, just like how she little cares for the era itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality 73,745 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 "including the depressing failure of pop fans to send “911” to the top of the charts" This line annoyed the **** outta me. Like, there was literally no promo for 911 outside of the video itself and the VMA performance. Monsters already liked the song. It was the most streamed song on the album that wasn't a single. They failed to promote it more. ᗰᗩYᕼEᗰ || 🦇👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a promotional tweet from @ladygaga stating it is a single, it doesn't even show up with you open her profile, but it does exist If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

Red 95,711 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It's just speculation from my part, but what I think happened is that Gaga wanted it as a single but Interscope didn't, so they just did not fund it, they didn't give her money to promote it neither they sent it anywhere, everything we got is thanks to LG (the brand, not Lady Gaga (welp I guess thanks to her too lol)) If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

Borislshere 52,710 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I mean.. the song had already been out for months. I don’t understand how people expect an “old” song to rise to the top of the charts months after its release with minimal promotion. We didn’t “fail” her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
