Kevbev 377 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I don't want to get ahead of myself but I see DWUW as a crossover smash. Like Bryan said, I can easily see it blowing past 150m AI's due to crossover appeal. Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye 3,947 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Ugh stop, Venus would not do well right now. DWUW is the perfect second single choice, it'll warm people up to her upcoming stuff. Do we not remember Judas or was that not "risky" enough? DWUW is going to soar on radio Really? Comparing Judas that was released amid religious controversy during Easter time and when Gaga's cool factor was on the decline with BTW??? Let's not go there, radio isn't everything, and you're forgetting the rest of the world. We don't want her to become a local US artist now do we? Maroon 5 has proven to become the epitome of a turntable artist, but Gaga hasn't. It's because there's still a lot of hype around her (a hell of a lot more than M5 ) But I think it will have a very steady sales run. :) Let's hope so 'cause if it does I'm ready for Venus to be released upon this unsuspecting planet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbev 377 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The only song I REALLY want to be a single is Sexxx Dreams. Same. I'd be so happy if it's released as one down the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco 731 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm gonna wait until we hear Venus in full to really judge if it is radio friendly or not. But from the snippet I don't think it's nearly as radio friendly as DWUW is. But we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye 3,947 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 There is a time and a place for risky singles, though. But if we wait for risky singles as the third, fourth, or even fifth singles, the album era would be winding down. It's only logical that (unless you're Katy) each consecutive single will have less hype around it. And when a risky single would fail because it's been left for later everyone would blame it because of its riskiness... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope so 'cause if it does I'm ready for Venus to be released upon this unsuspecting planet DWUW is definitely going to raise her "cool factor" though. She's receiving acclaim from different types of music listeners, why kill the buzz with Venus? Radio is definitely a huge factor though.. and from what I've seen the WW reception was pretty good. I'm here for Venus being a single but just not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbev 377 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 There is a time and a place for risky singles, though. The second pre-album single, and the one that sees the album through its launch, is logically the worst point in time to take a leap of faith. And what's a "highlight" is purely a matter of opinion. Most of the non-Gaga fans I know on another board I visit went bonkers for DWUW--and commented on how much of a departure it was for her and her "brand" (in other words, a risk for her--"risk" is a relative term) and were giggling and talking about how she dodged a bullet when they heard Venus this morning. You have to make these sort of decisions dispassionately, if you're looking at it from a purely commercial perspective. Gaga's label isn't worrying about which song is artistically best or most meaningful, or which she poured her heart and soul into. They're worried about promoting the album and broadening a fanbase that has become increasingly narrow. Again, I'm not even trying to defend DWUW from an artistic perspective (I can't resolve my own feelings about the R. Kelly feature, if I'm being honest). But I'm with Nick, I actually think it sounds like her biggest smash in ages. Well said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick 29 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Sounds like there are many contenders for singles in the ARTPOP era. The few songs after TEOG, BTW, and YAI from the BTW era were only "single worthy" by this FANBASE.. when in reality hardly anything was single material on that album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here for Venus being a single but just not now. I'm really anxious once DWUW is released well, for now it's been weird with the restricted video and released as promo single. And it better damn well smash or Venus will never see the light of day Sounds like there are many contenders for singles in the ARTPOP era. The few songs after TEOG, BTW, and YAI from the BTW era were only "single worthy" by this FANBASE.. when in reality hardly anything was single material on that album She really was right. She's written amazing songs, has upped the ante and has a smash album tbh. She deserves so much more success than Applause-grade success which was great in itself.
