Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 fixed GUY will absolutely scare people away. Gypsy is a thousand times more relatable, easier on the ears and impressive. And this is judging from all my friends' reactions to both songs. Many rolled their eyes immediately from the start with GUY but admitted that gypsy was stuck in their head and her voice sounded good in it. and this is coming from people who don't like pop music at all.

GypsyGaga 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Ouch at this update. DWUW behind Dark Horse and down to #23 on iTunes. I don't get what it's gonna take for this song to stabilize. Maybe The Voice being over will help slightly? The video will surely help a lot. But if it's down to #30 by the time it drops, I have a bad feeling it won't smash the way we all thought it should.

CharlesReyna 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Let's face it, the video for DWUW should have come out after the beats commercials and maybe a couple of weeks before SNL. then the Ama's would have kept it in the spotlight. That was the launching pad. For whatever reason, no video came. It was released as a single on Oct 21. I don't think there is a strategy now. I say on to planning the 3rd single which Gaga was hinting at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris777 112 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think that song would do well, but it doesn't come across to me as a song that would push album sales neither will MTN 2.0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyGaga 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I don't think the the 3rd single should be rushed. If DWUW doesn't become a bona fide top 10 hit, I don't see any reason why Gypsy will all of a sudden smash. It has great potential, but it needs a good launching pad.

justalovegame 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Based on kworb's last update, American Authors will overtake dwuw and it will fall to 24 with 6 songs from the voice and bieber ahead of it. Still not bad. 18 plus whatever the clean version is selling. Remix and video coming. This will go top 10 lol. The album will at least do PfRr numbers in the states. Start having meltdowns when she's selling less than 10k. I think she's doing 25 k this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagaxuan 999 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 At this point, I don't think we should put too much hope on the video(I don't think it will help that much on the sales) Just to prevent meltdowns!! I don't know what is Gaga doing now??? Just release the video already!!! Sometimes I really wish Gaga would just do basic things..... Sorry for my negativity. I just can't.....

Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 i am a little worried. Does anyone know why Gaga didn't promote in France and Germany yet? Wasn't she supposed to promote in France or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee 2,528 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Let's face it, the video for DWUW should have come out after the beats commercials and maybe a couple of weeks before SNL. That was the launching pad. For whatever reason, no video came. It was released as a single on Oct 21. I don't think there is a strategy now. I say on to planning the 3rd single which Gaga was hinting at. Without all the Voice releases and a Justin Bieber song above her, Do What U Want is still No.17 on iTunes USA and with the second version selling maybe even higher. Furthermore, the song is still on the way to the top 10 on Pop Radio, and she is No.17 on overall AI radio chart with seven songs falling above her which technically puts her in the overall radio TOP 10 if she is not overtaken by other artists. The best thing we all can do now instead of nagging about the needed video release is just be passionate about requesting DO WHAT U WANT on the radio, most notably KISS FM and Z100, as well as on your local radio station. The song needs some f***ing requesting in order to get through the rough time of Christmas radio mess + lack of video support. The deal is that we should do smart requesting by not spamming the radio like we did with the infamous last single off Born This Way and showing DJs we're just a bunch of crazy fans ready to attack the radio station in case they don't play our song Request some other good songs that you like, use different tools (call, text). This is what fans are also about: not only freaking out about the charts but also giving the artist support when she needs it. Nobody but us will do it for Gaga :king: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefani328 321 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Exactly. People literally did the same with Applause. "Will this even reach Platinum?" "Will it even go Top 10 on POP?!?" "Top 10 for 7 weeks AT LEAST" I say give it time. Agree. Look how long Applause stayed in the Top 10. No one expected that a month within the single and no one expected Applause to even pass 100 million AI or even to get negative updates and rise up again every weekend. I don't think we should close the curtain on DWUW. Give it time. I am disappointed there isn't a video yet. I believe this is part of the reason why the album isn't selling so well. Gaga hasn't had a video out in nearly 4 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
