My single choices:

3-Gypsy

4-G.U.Y

5-Sexxx Dreams

 

Five singles is more than enough. I think releasing anything else would be pushing it. If it was a perfect era singles wise a la Teenage Dream I wouldn't mind releasing Venus, but only if she had strong momentum.

I found some great reviews for Dope on ATRL :

When Lady Gaga revealed the bizarre cover art for the final pre-release promotional single from her upcoming album, ARTPOP, it was hard to reconcile both the title of the track, "Dope," and the Gorillaz-esque caricature of the singer sporting grills and several scrapes and bruises on her thighs and torso with the version of the song she first previewed at the iTunes Festival in September. Simplicity is next to godliness when it comes to pop music, but the melody of the original was elementary, the arrangement bland, and the lyrics riddled with bromides like "I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone." Formerly an ode to Gaga's "little monsters" uncharacteristically titled "I Wanna Be with You," the schmaltzy piano ballad has been transformed into a rue-soaked, electro-rock lament about substance abuse and lost love. "I promise this drink is my last one/I know I ****ed up again/Because I lost my only friend," she intones at the start of the song, affecting an intoxicated slur. Gaga has been very public about her supposed battle with addiction, and whether or not it's just an another costume for the singer to wear, she's nonetheless composed a convincing anthem of remorse: "Just one last puff and two last regrets/Three spirits and 12 lonely steps," she vows before proclaiming, "I need you more than dope." Maybe it is indeed a song for her fans after all.

While Lady Gaga‘s ‘ARTPOP’ has leaked, she has officially released ‘Dope,’ the last taste from the album until it’s legal, Nov. 11 release date. The song was due to drop at midnight on Nov. 4, but it has arrived early, and boy, we’re glad it did, as it’s a dramatic, piano-driven power ballad, one with an incurable ache in its bones.

Melodically, ‘Dope’ reminds us of ‘Hair’ from ‘Born This Way,’ thanks to its epic and contemplative nature. The hook finds Gaga admitting â€I need you more than dope,†summoning her soulful voice from the depths of her belly. It sounds like she woke up after a visit from her musical muse, sat down at her piano without brushing her teeth and took a swig from a bottle of whisky and started singing. It sounds that natural and that raw.

While it’d be easy to assume that she is tracing the steps of detoxing from d--gs, this is Gaga we are talking about here.

There are plenty of layers to sift through. She is learning how to let go while trying to hold on while arriving at some difficult truths.

“I feel so low / From living high†is easily the best lyric of the song, and could go down as one of Gaga’s best … ever. It’s not easy to face reality or to do so with a clear eye and a clear head, but that’s what she’s doing with ‘Dope.’ The self-realization is set to a melancholic melody that almost hurts to listen to.

There’s not a lot accompanying Gaga’s voice in terms of instrumentation, but that’s so her voice can be the focal point and the centerpiece.

The construction of ‘Dope’  Gaga’s voice, powerful lyrics and a piano melody– reminds us of Rihanna‘s ‘Stay.’ It’s naked, sacred and laid bare.

It’s confessional pop at its very best.

While ‘Dope’ may not go on to be a (mother) monster radio hit  or maybe it will, if programmers have ears!  it will easily become beloved by the little monsters.

4.5/5 stars

 

Who knows in what this can transform? Maybe even in album sales.

I knew the critics would praise Dope :worhsip2: Dopesus tbh what an amazing ballad! Something I've always wanted from Gaga

Seems like they aren't into songs with so many layers.

I think I am figuring this chart thing out....

DWUW is #39 on Pop with 1172 spins with an AI of 13.710.....

That is a huge spin to AI ratio compared to the other songs in that region of the chart,

Is that a good indication a smash might be about to happen?

A high AI to spin ratio means that a lot of big stations are playing it. So yes, I think that's a sign of good reception.

I actually really like Dope. 

 

I wouldn't mind that as a single either. :rip:

Yes It's great, and actually It can smash (but I don't mind It being an album masterpiece since there are so many worthy songs like Gypsy, GUY and Fashion! )  I really don't like these hate bandwagons like Fashion! and Dope,  Bad Kids etc..
