Still a great era nonetheless, and I'll like to think it's not completely over yet ! 5 hours ago, HeavyCapiLover said: This + Garden of Eden potentials have been weirdly ignored. They did actually try with GOE. It was given an early release with F1 and even had major playlisting, but it didn't stick the landing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Monster 178 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I was surprised when I saw the sticker on the album for VIY, it didn’t seem like an immediate choice for a single. I think the song came into its own in Coachella (and beyond) and I’m glad it didn’t become a single in the end. I’ll always think of VIY as the barricade song 🥹 5 minutes ago, RochesterJoannster said: Vanish Into You has served a unique purpose that it will continue to serve for years to come. I don’t believe it needed single treatment, just like ARUTW did not need it despite being a painfully obvious contender 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both overproduced... & neither of them are top 5 BTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her best ballad in my opinion. Kind regards 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 115,296 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 19 hours ago, AVeryGagaHolyDick said: At some point, MAYHEM was officially advertised as the album that featured Disease, Abra, VIY and the #1 smash hit DWAS. Not that it meant it initially was gonna be a single (see: Monster from TFM) but still, it means they knew VIY was very solid and was gonna be loved. The song was on the hype sticker, and hype stickers often list standout tracks, radio favorites, or key album cuts to boost sales, rather than exclusively highlighting singles. It's just curated list. In some cases, a sticker might highlight a song that is released as a single later, particularly for album teasers or early marketing campaigns, but not always. But I get the sense MAYHEM is not really over yet, at least until the Apple Music specials. So, who knows she will release VIY as final single to promote that specials?

SpadesToStart 3,765 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I think they got scared by Abracadabra’s relatively poor chart performance. Which, to be fair, is a bit of a puzzle. It was critically acclaimed, had a viral video, beloved by fans, and cemented itself as one of the pop culture moments of last year, yet it couldn’t crack the hot 100 top 10? Obviously Vanish and Abra are very different songs, but I think it pushed them to away from pursuing additional official singles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point, but then, why the hell did they push The Dead Dance when Vanish Into You would’ve done better? The Dead Dance could have been released as a new track without having the single treatment and company Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxy 241 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 If we get VIY as a final single to end the era along with the Apple special it will officially make this tied for her best era. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zevthepaparazzo 2,081 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I reckon the order should've been shadow of a man - abracadabra - garden of eden - hbduwm - the dead dance disease could've been anywhere in there Anything goes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
