Blackout confirms: 'Free Woman was supposed to be a single' 

[RAMROD 109,535]

A lot of songs supposed to be a single from ARTPOP but well it was a messy era, I love it either way 

[Sneaky Oliver 22,173]

To be fair, I think a bunch of songs are considered for lead single before the planning for the era is done, Gypsy could’ve been just one of them, not really a big contender

There were a lot of plans for ARTPOP coming from the success of her first three albums so of course expectations were quite high. 

Gaga wanted Aura as lead single, Sex Dreams was supposed to be lead single and duet with Robin Thicke, Manicure had a video planned, Gypsy on the sticker made it obvious it was going to be a single at some point. Venus too before they switched to Do What U Want (the actual better song and most commercial, could’ve been huge). Applause wasn’t even going to make it on the album, Troy picked it as lead, etc. 
 

I’m so shocked that for all the fiddling, NO ONE thought to bump R Kelly off of DWUW.

The reception of Disease still confuses me. People loved it and yet it still flopped 

Because it’s not “easy” listening, basically. Think about it. Abracadabra can be played at home, the club, the gym, car, a walk. It’s a big fun song but widely applicable. Disease is kinda specific.

As much as it was kind of joked about and kind of known in pop culture that R Kelly was a pervert. 

I don't think the seriousness of it had fully entered cultural concious at the time

ARTPOP really is such an album of legend. So many rumors, leaks, changes, etc all centered on such a bombastic collection of dance pop.

it lives rent free in our brains so hard and also in the brains of the GP, oddly enough. It may not be the best album but the lore of it all

the way everyone talks about ARTPOP but never streams it

[hELXIG 43,030]

At this point every song except Dope was supposed to be a ****ing single

I bet I wanna be with you was supposed to be a single 😂

I can’t wait till Gaga writes a big autobiography. The chapters on ARTPOP will be fascinating.

[VasilisVas 5,170]

One of the most overrated Gaga songs.

i do wonder if this song would have generated backlash because of the title
