They def should have pushed GoE around april-may to benefit from coachella and copacabana hype. Also, I still dont understand why the **** did they release Stupid Love as first single from chroma, like to me thats one of the worst and most generic song of the album, it kinda killed the hype at the time (bc there was a huge hype for gaga's return to pop following ASIB), and the cringe MV made it even worse. To me it was so obvious to choose Alice or Replay as first single like what were they thinking Replay as a lead single would absolutely tank, it's way too aggressive for the GP. SL was a strong choice for a lead because it was a softcore return to gaga's dance music, the fact it's generic is exactly why it was the better choice and her single choices have been questionable since BTW mother, what must i do? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a days in streaming era that is super tough to go anywhere as music videos and radio dont go as far as they used to and all the hype is before and during album release not after You can argue that TTD could have been a better song but I do not believe a previous single would have done any better I agree with all of this, however I do believe that GOE especially could have performed better than TTD for a few reasons. First, in my opinion, and based off of general consensus I have seen from reviews/reactions, GOE is just an overall better song. It's almost addictive, I think people would listen to it much more than TDD. With an AMAZING music video, it could very easily go viral (like Abracadabra did for its video) and the outro choreo would have gone extremely viral on TikTok, it already went semi-viral after Coachella. If it was released around Coachella/Copacabana hype and tied with those major events, like Abra was tied with the Grammy's, I think we would have been looking at at least a top 20 hit. It would be trickier if it was released at the same time as TDD, however if she gave it a reimagined, different performance at the VMA's, and released the video during a VMA commercial break (like Abra) it could have popped off. I could see people freaking out, headlines like "Gaga's back AGAIN, 2010's pop is back, etc. I've never seen anyone react to GOE and not be absolutely slapped and shook, while I've seen many lukewarm TDD reactions. Idk maybe I'm delusional, but not capitalizing on GOE is the biggest disappointment of this era imo. However I do not want to complain, we have been absolutely fed and this era has been pretty much perfect!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It going viral is a big if I agree if it was released earlier it probably would have done better but if it was "instead of" at the same time, i remain highly skeptical tbh Its just so hard to make anything months after a album release a hit anymore.

SL was a good choice in the context of the album... I think disease will be appreciated more than those as time goes on. Its bold and excellent, altough hard to digest. PI is just not listenable.

I absolutely love Perfect Illusion but I felt the same as I did with Disease: there was no way it was gonna click with the GP. Though I do agree Joanne didn't have many choices, I just don't care about Stupid Love at all, I find it to be so incredibly subpar, I think the demo is more memorable.

I think Disease with a more bombastic video à la Abracadabra would’ve done much better. Disease debuted with almost as much as DWAS on Spotify IF I remember correctly. The video is amazing but for non-Stans there’s not much replay value and the promotion was very scarce. They were just going for a low radar approach I believe because of the Joker 2 backlash, which is a shame because Disease is an amazing song and I do think the hype was there British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, I think that the one of two live performances with am actual dance-y choreography would've been really good, then again I understand the issue with the timing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louvre 4,218 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 6 hours ago, Cpeer said: The only thing I would have done differently is Joanne. She should have made Million Reasons the lead and lean into the Americana/ country vibe they had. Post ARTPOP the singles should have gone like this Joanne: John Wayne as the lead, Million Reasons as the 2nd single. Perfect Illusion as the 3rd (maybe it would have done better if there were two hits in front of it. Still the best song on the album) Chromatica: Alice as the lead, ROM as the 2nd single, Replay as the third single. I really like SC and 911 as promo singles. MAYHEM: GOE as the lead, Abra as the 2nd single, HBDUWM as the third. Every song on MAYHEM could be a single so... idrk what to say for that album other than the gag that GOE would have been as the lead. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
