She asked her fans to choose the next singles, but even though “Sad Girls” is winning, she's releasing “Hysteria”

What a failed (once amazing) strategy!

[Hadrian 1,932]

I'm sure this will bode well for that album she speaks of

[nATAH 55,197]

so the new religion mv ain't happening then

If I can get a dollar every time an artist let their fans decided which song get to be released as a single, only ended up release another one, I would have three.

Interesting, I wanted this song anyways after sad girls hehehe 

But I figured something was happening since she had 3/20 and 3/25 as dates but Sad Girls didn't release those days... the only thing I could think of was to give more room for New Religion? 
 

(Also April 4th is not a date she had listed either, she had 4/1 and 4/8

Didn’t Gaga do this even more often?

Alejandro & DITD were released as promo singles for The Fame Monster in a similar strategy to the Dark Horse/Walking On Air situation.Fans and critics seemed to prefer DITD, the label and her chose Alejandro.

She decided on TEOG as a single after it outperformed as a promo singles.

GGD made a poll for the fourth BTW single, which she stated she would take into account, YAI didn‘t win. 

She asked which Swine Fest song should become the Telephone sequel (on twitter, I think), indicating a single release or at least a video that never happened.

Then she made DWUW a promo singles with an announcement of Venus being the second single of ARTPOP. Again, she switched course and chose DWAS because of popular demand.

She was supposed to release A-Yo as the second single from Joanne, which also got changed to Million Reasons after it did so well as a promo single.

Arguably each of the named decisions did work out in her favor, likely they did better than the other choices would have. But the deciding processes were a little chaotic for every era since TFM.
