COOOK 76,406 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 It peaked at 29, however it marked Gaga's first radio-promoted single not to reach the top 10, ending her streak of 11 consecutive top 10 hits - in other words, it "flopped" compared to BTW's previous singles. It was a fan favorite, and yet that didn't seem enough to chart higher...or was this solely the work of the fans? I still remember before the release of the album there was this fan who heard MTN first, hyping the intro a lot. This still haunts me because I always wanted to like the song as much as the rest of LMs but I just never felt that way... but that's just my personal opinion. So what do you think happened?

River 106,263 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Long bizarre video, she overexposed herself, the song could have been shorter and after Judas, it looked like another Illuminati devil worshiping song. The song, especially the last minute of it, gives me a serious headache, too many things are going on there His fart felt like a kiss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfonso 1,423 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I think it had to do with the fact that she was considered to be "overexposed" by that time.. Personally it's one of my favorite songs / singles from her, and I do think it was successful in radio at the time (at least outside of the US). Nowadays, even though it's such great song (really one of the iconic gaga songs) and a favorite for both fans and gaga herself, she doesn't perform it and I don't really get why. The lack of inclusion of some songs of her catalogue it's just weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fame Monster 3,886 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 In my opinion, Marry the Night should have been released as a single well before it actually was, preferably before the album was even released. Perhaps as the second single after Born This Way, or even as the first single before it. I feel like the timing was bad - the album had already been out for several months by the time Marry the Night was released, and it was released after Yoü and I, which I personally found to be a boring single choice. As a result, fans lost some of the excitement they had at the beginning of the era. Find your freedom in the music Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnglerfishbraBENUS 5,634 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Gaga initially wanted it to be the lead im pretty sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatikitten 883 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Marry The Night should’ve been the lead single (with a shorter, easy to digest, GP/MTV-friendly music video) An easy number 1 smash hit that got away She's meditating guys — She's died Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstermilo 3,811 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 i think btw left a weird taste in the GP's mouths, they saw her trying to be way too weird and after the first three singles, ppl were kinda over it MTN is her best video to date IMO and one of my fave songs, but it also does sound more like a little monster fave than a GP fave.

nATAH 43,150 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 this was back before streaming was mainstream and i always felt that by the time MTN came out as a single, only the hardcore fans were the ones buying it again i don't see much reason to buy the same song again when you already own the album, especially when it's been out for so long mother, what must i do?

Bolkins 4,085 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Although BTW was probably her most commercially successful era, it also marked the beginning of the end of her imperial phase. There were several things going on that contributed to the tides turning - madonna, over exposure, Judas/antagonising religious groups, people growing tired of Gaga’s “antics” ect etc. I think MTN was the first instance in Gaga’s career where the GP just didn’t really care. I’ve always felt that AP/LG4 was doomed from the beginning because by that point people wanted her to fail, hence why she called it out herself and did the whole “ugh not her again” themed roll-out for Applause. Not the bore worms! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
faysalaaa 3,099 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I love the song, but its not a good single choice, even for a 5th single. But its Gagas favorite song, she even wanted it as the first single, so she really pushed for it to be released at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
