TDD did what she needed to do. Gave the album a boost. A cute 400M streamed song in the long run. Everyone say thank you to the dead dance.

Assuming it nabs an 11th week on the chart it will have out-charted her last three lead singles lol

I mean it’s still climbing on Radio. It should hit top 10 on pop and top 40 radio. Like Abracadabra it will have had its viral moment on social media, peaked at #1 in streaming and sales, radio hit, and longevity just not all at the same time for it to reach a higher peak.  It won’t be as big as Abracadabra but may  have longevity to linger on the charts for a while coupled with being on Wednesday it may have enough to be a memorable moment for 2025 and keep momentum going for the album.

Y'all she did the Dead Dance because she got paid like $9-$13M from Netflix and they offered the promote the song like crazy. It's a fine song but not a Mayhem single whatsoever. Disease, Abracadabra, and VIY were planned with VIY pulled (maybe she'll release it next year, though unlikely). 

Imagine a GOE, Abracadabra, VIY run..... throw in ZombieBoy as the Wednesday single.

It’s on the album so it is a Mayhem single….. only miss so far was not releasing How Bad Do You Want Me as a single back in late May.

HBDYWM was a radio single here in Australia and a few other markets, but it just didn't fully catch on.

Wasn’t it top 10 on radio and did well on streaming in those local markets with zero marketing or music video?

nah bro it didn't even make top 100 spotify in austrailia, though someone said that spotify isn't that big in there as well? How Bad also had massive playlisting worldwide (I think almost double that of VIY) and yet both songs basically have the same amount of streams.

VIY is also the only song doing 1M+ daily streams off the Copa performance alone, the highest off Mayhem non-single songs. Like the numbers do not lie... people like the song. I'm sure How Bad would do decently well in the U.S. but like the choice is obvious. Give the people what they want, it's that simple.

Are we going to add Do What U Want to Mayhem now lol. I just don't believe in these track editions tbh. Mayhem for me is 14 tracks, not including Kill for Love and Can't Stop. Dead Dance is a standalone to me.

Respectfully, nobody cares.

Ok but what held her back from giving them a better song? When the mayhem outtakes leak 30-60 years from now there will be so many better songs in the unreleased vault

she probably proposed Netflix and Tim a couple of demos and they chose the song that would fit a specific scene in the show.

I mean, singles are rarely about being the best song…

She had better songs than Just Dance, had many better songs than Telephone, almost only better songs than Born This Way (LEAD single), better songs than Shallow, don’t even get me started with Stupid Love and Rain On Me
