So on the list of ARTPOP songs that were confirmed to be planned as singles at some point are

1) MANiCURE

2) Sexxx Dreams

3) Aura/Burqa

4) Gypsy

5) Venus

 

Dope too I think at some point. She wrote “I Wanna Be With You” and she was getting pressured to have an Adele type of single so she made it very depressing and re-wrote it as Dope. 

It still was a promo single so it counts.

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

That’s the case for many, many, many songs. Most popular songs actually.
 

Because the radio hosts decide what they wanna play based on what they think is a trendy sound (or based on the money they receive from the labels/artists). 

Padam Padam is a perfect example of that. Or JOYRIDE. Or Harleys In Hawaii.

The music video would’ve been a tour compilation with hopefully some cute backstage footage 

It exists, but unfortunately it was never officially released on her channel, for whatever reason...

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

Ehhhhh I mean it was known he had peed on underage girls. Like even initial reviews of the song mentioned it was at minimum a little weird to have him on it. I think rather than not take it that seriously, it was more the public was kinda ok with letting him fade away and then DWUW threw him back in our faces again bc he wanted a comeback. Like if you were in Chicago it was like he’s persona nongrata. So so odd no one read that room better but then again this is the same industry that let r Kelly and diddy thrive  in the first place

 

mostly just shocked bc it’s also not like he was especially relevant at the time. Why didn’t the label try to push literally ANYONE more relevant onto that track??

Remember the MANiCURE movie video script that leaked in those ARTPOP documents last year? Omg..

some of u keep begging for the “real” ARTPOP and Act II, but there’s a reason we will never see it. It literally wouldve been the final nail in Gaga’s coffin 

Get out don’t shout! I’m gonna have sex for sure ! 

[Gagasdisease 213]

And we're glad it wasn't 

[crazygato 520]

There was 5 potential songs on ARTPOP that could have been singles:

1. Applause

2. MANiCURE 

3. DWUW 

4. Gypsy 

5. G.UY. 
 

Ideally, this would satisfy GP: 

1. GUY (lead, August 2013, VMA’s )

2. Applause (October 2013, AMA’a)

3. Do What You Want (January2014, Grammys )

4. Gypsy (May 2014, BBMA’s, morning shows)

*MANiCURE (Promo Single)

* Dope (Promo Singel ) 

[Lord Mayhem 837]

Lord Mayhem confirms: Venus was supposed to be a single.

Maybe the ARTPOP era would've done better instead of controversial DWUW and the even worse unreleased video...

[Sugar Baby 844]

But isn't this one of the many beauties of Lady Gaga tho? Her music has always been "pop", but also totally strays outside the box into daring alt styles that never follow the current trends. She's a provocateur. 

Her music isn't catered for "common folk". The common folk and casual listeners aren't real music lovers and have a very narrow and neophobic perspective on taste, (if any taste at all lol).

It would be very boring if she just conformed to basic pop standard for radio popularity. If she did that she wouldn't be "Lady Gaga". 

I mean I don’t disagree with this and I don’t want her to change her style. But that doesn’t change the fact that that’s the reason why some of her music doesn’t stick to radio stations. That was my whole point, I’m not trying to tell people she needs to be more radio friendly, I’m explaining why her singles keep failing to have popularity on the radio.

Good old times, he was so young
