you said the public "doesn't like it at all", which is false as evidently a lot of people like it enough to buy it

 

also: not smashing the charts =/= disliked by the public

 

people should stop drawing conclusions not supported by any data

It does mean disliked by the public. It's radio callout score is horrible, and while it's the #2 new generation songs on radio, it's still below lots of new-generation (aka released in this quarter of the year :emma: ) songs such as Timber, Burn, Story Of My Life, Say Something, The Monster and Timber with the same (or less) promotion and more airplay (except for The Monster, that one has more airplay). If the public is here for a song like Timber, and the public in general doesn't dislike nor strongly like a song like Burn, why is it still doing so badly on iTunes despite the AMAs promotion, a music video, higher airplay and a more successful previous single?

MTN just charted high during the album release week and that's perfectly normal, it was foolish of Gaga's team to think it would do well. I think Legendary Lovers should be a single.

Why would it be foolish to think it'd do well?

Well, just because it did well during the album release week doesn't mean it was going to smash. I think they assumed that. Not to mention that the release date of the single didn't help at all.

I think the Xmas freeze is already in effect. Thanksgiving just ended, so stations have started their Xmas music playlists

The Monster has slowed down

DWUW gonna move past uncle soon :excited2:

 

Um not sure about thT, uncle is still green. DWUW is getting closer but uncle will probably pass SW first. DWUW will pass it if it keeps at it's current pace. 

 

That vid would really help atm.

Yeah, but that usually does indicate how well a song would do. But after all, MTN is one of the least risky songs on BTW. it wasn't foolish at all to think it'd do well, the only reason why it wouldn't would be because of Yoü and I doing bad WW and the whole era lacking radio hits besides TeoG.

It did well in other countries though and I think the video caused problems for it tbh. Besides it was Gaga's favorite song on the album and she wanted it to be the lead single so I think they were always gonna release it.

I think she would of been better off releasing Heavy Metal Lover but that's just me. Either way, after Yoü and I under performing in most music markets and the Christmas freeze into full force, it was very difficult for the song to smash.

Very few markets though.

Um Nooo heavy metal lover would have done much worse than than MTN. I love the song but it would have been a massive flop.

In my opinion we're gonna have a lot of scene like this on the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmiSSbv0Dy8

At least it will help the views, if they won't to unlock it.

But we need a date now!!!

If the video of DWYW has anything to do with that Video I will puke... Terry is not an artist, he seems more like a procurer :awkney:. He is not a good influence for Gaga!

Cant wait to see 3rd week sales :excited2:

Gaga has to perform DWUW on The Voice finale!

But I have a feeling she wont :ohno:

That would definitely get the song rising. I hope she can make it happen. When is the finale by the way? Does anyone know?
