For a lead single? Very likely. But for the rest of the album? Doubt it.

 

Why not? There are a lot of cases where the 3 or 4 single was the most successful of an album...

It's only an opinion, at the end nobody here can know for sure if there is payola or not... I wouldn't be surprise if there is at the end to be honest...

What strange in #1 song on itunes having massive updates on radio. DWUW was almost in top10 with #35 on itunes

It's a radio friendly song, people just don't care about Gaga and actually buying the song :shrug:

It's not rare for a song to go top 10 on Radio without being top 10 on Itunes. . . and with all versions DWUW was top 20 on Itunes for the most part of Its chart run ...  Just because It's rare for Gags doesn't mean It's rare overall '-'

I meant lead singles tend to have more possibilities of needing payola in order to at least kick off that radio support after some sort of  the artist's absence from the spotlight or from the airplays. With that, the more it seems to me that post-album singles do not really need such illegal manoeuvring under the assumption that the lead single has already paved the way for them. Hence, the more a post-album single becomes a hit, the more I'm impressed with it - since it'd imply, at least for me, that it smashed on its own merit, rather than relying on the pre-album hype or radio payola.

I just can't shake the feeling though ... First DJWS says they (who ever they are) are back in the studio, then Temple gets registered, and then Gaga says that they're shooting a new video this week ... Please tell me all of this is pure coincidence ...

It's probably coincidence, it's too early for Temple or anything from act II rn.

DWUW never got massive updates on one format alone though. DWUW is the perfect radio single, it has support from many formats and it was and is still getting ok updates. Dark Horse is getting  2M+ and 3M+ updates or even bigger on Pop alone. And let's say OK, DH is a smash waiting to happen and radio loves it. What about Unlce, the song approached 100M AI in no time, even if the decline of the public was huge and don' t tell me that DWUW is a similar situation, DWUW has had a much bigger performance and without a video, which meant that the song had potential. Unlce was over before it even began but they gave it huge radio support. Also DWUW now just approached 100M AI and it's getting support from 4 different radio formats. Uncle approached 100M in no time and it was only getting support from 2 radio formats.

No one was here for Unconditionally except Katy, just like no one's here for DWUW except Interscope :later:

Actually Interscope isnt here for Dwuw. The song has shown over and over again that has potential. With a 30 seconds commercial it managed to go top 10 almost everywhere in Europe.
