VIY situation makes me so sad

[Filthy Pout 51]

I'm still upset about HBDYWM not being released as a single. It's so GP friendly and would have been perfect for summer. I honestly think it would have gone #1 

In a perfect world HBDYWM released for the summer and VIY for the Fall would have been perfect!

I can not accept it will have the same destiny as Dance in the Dark and Scheisse

At least Scheisse still pulls 100k+ streams daily on Spotify, 14 years later. 
 

Dance in the Dark gets less than 1/3 of this number, truly a wasted masterpiece.

And SPEECHLESS.  She performed it on the GRAMMYS, AMA’s and every other TV appearance it seemed.  Then never released it as a single.  😒

why she's so disappointing oh oh oh 

That was the GPs fault. Lady Gaga wanted it to be a single, but then everyone started buying Telephone and it started charting like a moderate hit despite not being a single (similar to what happened with Dark Horse). As a result, Telephone got picked as the next major single instead.

On topic: Vanish Into You was such a wasted single. It wasn't too "obvious" like How Bad Do U Want Me, but it still had potential to easily click with the GP. Such a waste...

It also happened to Venus with DWUW and to A-Yo with Million Reasons

On a brighter side, VIY didn't end like Alice, Replay, or Babylon. The song will soon cross 100M streams on Spotify within a year of release, then it can even be a INLA sized hit song on a longer run despite not being a single.

As already mentioned in my trending topic that you have just copied...
 

I sing Vanish into you everyday still... it's the biggest earworm and wasted opportunity for a commercial success

honestly i feel sad cause it's one of the few gaga songs that feels summery, even if it's depressing. Its a summer anthem to shout in the car. And it totally get, no one will relate, but they should

yes i think it's frustrating. It totally deserved

It’s gonna be the final single to wrap up the era and when the tour ends. I’m expecting a MV with clips from each tour stop when she walks down the barricade. I know she wrote it about Michael but also about all of us, especially when she said “one day I’ll vanish into each and every one of you”. I’m gonna cry my eyes out when I hear it live

Still hoping for VIY to be final MAYHEM single released in the early 2026

I cant at her choices sometimes but yeah :”(

At this point I'm happy that some fan favs can remain fan favs. Some things are too good for the GP

I can't listen to Bloody Mary anymore without thinking of cringe tiktok dances

So why is it in the album sticker then... i think it started there

I never connected to the song, it can stay hidden
