Sex Dreams shall be the new Blurred Lines (only 10000 times better), so stop

and if Gaga is wise enough to come up with a tongue-in-cheek video looking smoking hot, she's set

There are tons of family-friendly radio stations and air times. Though they are starting to allow more explicit words to be played on the radio (such as Bruno Mars song) but I'm not sure if they'd be too happy playing a song like Sex Dreams.

Having read the FCC indecency standard Im not sure now. Saying s-x isn't a problem, but the "I touch myself" part may be. Im sure there wouldn't be an actual case the FCC would pursue, but it could be that some radio stations wouldn't want to take the chance.

I'm afraid Sex Dream's radio edit would be a nightmare.

The edit out the word "s-x" in S&M on all my local stations.

I do think it could do very well if radio is willing to back it though.

Yeah, big stations like 102.7 will censor Sex

Sex Dreams is the most explicit song though... The chorus just repeats s-x about every line. The other songs had only a handful of lines that were explicit and could slip by, but not Sex Dreams.

"Sex" is most definitely not explicit. If it was it would be censored.

Why is Royals gaining so much on itunes? 

 

Applause's radio updates are looking better. I'm glad she is doing more promotion. The fact that a song about her living for people's cheers is selling this much is really good. I honestly thought it would have failed by now but it's not.

 

Btw, Sex Dreams would slay. Not sure why some think MANiCURE would so better. I feel like the verses were good but the chorus wasn't catchy imo. I really hope it does become the next single unlike Scheibe from the last era where we voted many times and they never picked it cause the label refused.

Yeah, the people running the radio stations are who i'm worried about. Not sure if they would want to play a song like SD.

Sex is very explicit and a taboo to talk about publicly within society. Just because it's not censored doesn't mean radio stations will have no problem playing it.

 

 

 

Btw, don't want anyone to think I'm hating on SD. I prefer MANiCURE as a single but I still love SD as a song and would love a music video for it. I'm just worried about its success. More success = more money = better videos, tours, performances, etc.

Totally my situation. SD is better than MANiCURE. But radio would like MANiCURE more because it's easier to swallow.

MANiCURE and Sex Dreams both slay. But I don't know what to expect in terms of radio anymore. Over the last couple years, radio seems to have opened up a bit to a more diverse selection of music styles, which is good. But it makes it harder to say what's going to connect. Whatever the ultimate fate of this era chart-wise, I will remain unperturbed because it looks like the album itself is going to be amazing.

Tours are about money, not singles, and the success of tours doesn't rely on recent single success. Beyonce's tour is slaying most of the other girls and we're going on almost 4 years since Beyonce had a genuine solo hit. Both Gaga and Bey have the star power, the talent and the performance reputation to sell out stadiums regardless of single success.

Because the song is getting ready to slay Roar. It just entered top 20 on pop radio.

Actually if Katy weren't releasing her video tomorrow I'd guess Lorde would overtake Katy in the coming days/weeks. We'll see how much of a boost the video does for her...?

The "I touch myself" part is an easy fix. "I close my eyes and think of you" still flows and, frankly, makes more sense in the overall scheme of Sex Dreams.

Looking forward to the Roar video tbh.

 

And Lady Gaga should show no shame in endless promotion. Do you know how many times Mariah performed We Belong Together or Touch My Body to get them to #1?

I agree. Tbh it's more shameful to stop promoting.
