Pop Art 1,773 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 but wouldn't that just make anyone who releases a single in nov/dec screwed? Β It's just the fact that she released Marry The Night in November, and, well, we know what happened there. I know, different time, different circumstances, but I think that fear of November/December single releases will always be with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 why is releasing single in winter bad? Mariah Carey's annual return Β You Da One, Marry The Night, and C'mon were all released in Nov/Dec. YDO flopped bc WFL was still massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 why is releasing single in winter bad? Radio is flooded with Christmas songs and people are less likely to buy songs during that period due to holiday shopping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titzlol 607 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I honestly think we're screwed no matter what lol. Lets start thinking about the 3rd single choice . Β Somewhere in those 15 songs is a track thats just waiting to be let loose and go on a rampage of slayage at which we have never seen Just wait, IΒ bet itll be Gypsy Maybe even Swine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter 3,640 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Im here for the 2nd single after the album release. It is safer that way. She can still do promo singles before the release of ARTPOP. Β Β she needs a big hit before the album comes out hun. applause isn't enought to make the GP buy the album.

VforVendetta 2,024 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Just to porve you that the most important thing now for Applause in Europe is not the position on itunes but the ratio the song is having I'm gonna give what % Applause is selling of the first song on some of the biggest music markets:Β Β US: 44,43% #4 UK: 21.64% #10 AUS: 22,30% #17 BRZ: 13,39% #23 CAN: 30,18% #7 FR: 20,56% #20 GER: 27,10% #19 ITA: 38,37% #9 JP: 22,35% #11 NZ: 23,33% #13 RUS: 71,53% #4 SP: 23,33% #16 SW: 34,57% #4 Β These numbers are steady for the last days. You can see that regardless if the song is in the top 10 or the top 20 the numbers are around the same on many countries. They are good numbers considering that European charts don't have longevity and most of these countries put more weight on radio and streaming than iTunes. They aren't huge but they are definitely not bad... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Art 1,773 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Here's what I think should happen with the second single. Β Single: I Wanna Be With U Release Date: December 30, 2013 Promo: (1) Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve - December 31, 2013, (2) American Idol Season Premiere - January 15, 2014, (3) Grammy Awards - January 26, 2014 Β A ballad release would work well for several reasons. First of all, it's a perfect winter single, not to mention that it's just screaming for a Grammy performance. Additionally, it's initial release, coupled with the fact that it's a ballad, would spur album sales at a time when people have gift cards to spend, right after Christmas.

VforVendetta 2,024 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 White update for Gaga, light red for Miley, dark green for Katy, light green for Royals and light red for Avicii. Drake got also a white update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 she needs a big hit before the album comes out hun. applause isn't enought to make the GP buy the album. Gaga said herself she is more an album seller, she dont need big hits to sell AP on its first week, that's promo singles are only necessary. She can have those big hits after the album release, then that will keep the album selling well. A la Unorthodox Jukebox. Isnt it better that way?
