Driving through Virginia, and the DJ announced, before playing Applause, "This week's gonna be a big one for Lady Gaga! Her new album ARTPOP comes out on Tuesday!" ... :rip:

However, I have seen a ton of Grindr promo, so... Inb4 2 million sold first week. Realistically, though, I'm gonna hope for 500k but predict 380-420.

 

GET THEM SALES

I hate where Aura's iTunes preview is. As it's charting well it'll probably be the next single, and the preview starts in the campy intro and has the entire first verse. If they'd used the chorus it could have had a chance of doing well because people would have no idea how strange it sounded until they bought it. 

 

Oh well, can't say I'm surprised. At least as the Telephone continuation the video should get some buzz. I'm sure the song will reinflict any damage Applause and Do What U Want have managed to fix if it's the third single though.

On a positive note, Do What U Want looks like it's coming to scalp. Hopefully we won't have to worry about singles again until February or so.

Aura is amazing. It's experimental and combine amazing and strange verse with typical Gaga power-chorus. It's made to be a transition between BTW and ARTPOP and it's just the perfect opening.

The buildup is probably the most insane buildup I've ever heard.

 

I really start to hate this damn fanbase for whining every single minutes.

If you didn't heard the damn demo you wouldn't say so.

 

Anyway, fans opinion is becoming more and more irrelevant with times so...

Aura is a terrific song, I'm not complaining about its quality. It would just chart horribly. Other than the chorus I can't even imagine the rest of it on radio. 

 

I think many of the complaints are geared toward its likelihood of being the third single and not the song itself. The last thing Gaga needs to do while recovering radio and sales power is to release another song centered around an incredibly touchy subject. That's not even considering the abrasive quality of the verses that are so atypical for radio. 

 

 

On another note, does anyone know if the Do What U Want video has been shot yet?
