VforVendetta 2,024 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Radio interviews are "real" promo. They are a form of legal payola. Gaga and her team are working their asses off to make a legitimate push for this single.Is prefer them doing half of those interviews and doing more traditional Gaga promo, aka perform. Rihanna does that kind of promo, Gaga has another gift, her talent. I never said that Gaga isn't working, I said that I'd prefer another kind of promo. At least I hope that the interviews will have some effect on radio in the next weeks. Tbqmf Venus would've been a much better choice. GUY has no chorus. And Sexxx Dreams should've been a single. I don't see anything else being released besides Gypsy as the final.Gypsy and Sexxx Dreams in my opinion are sure hits. (at least they were before all this mess).

GagaMyBlood95 9,915 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Dark Horse, Loyal and All of Me had more VEVO views from US than G.U.Y. http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/media/media_vevot10.cgi Those are big hits in the US currently so that's normal even though I expected more than just 2 million... Sorry, this has nothing to do with you I quoted, but I have to say that you guys really need to chill! Like seriously... Is Gaga holding you with chains to be her fan? Is she forcing you to love her? Do you not love ARTPOP and the music that she brought us this era? I know this is a chart discussion thread, but we DON'T NEED comment like : omg we are flopping, omg she was so big in 2009, omg katy is a queen she is slaying and many many many more... Grow up, Gaga will always be different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 105. Lady Gaga - ARTPOP I really don't know what to think at this point... Gaga doesn't have a current single with any kind of significant airplay on the radio at this time. How hard is that for people to understand?

Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Top 10 album worldwide in 2013....worldwide tour to arena sized venues with very competitive ticket prices...endorsements and merchandise sales...the fact that Gaga is on a 360 deal = good money for the label. Add in that Gaga doesn't have to have the most expensive producers and writers on all her songs and that she puts sweat equity into her songs and videos and you have an artist that is a complete artist, not one that relies 100% on people outside of themselves to do EVERYTHING for them. Just wait until the next era, to see what happens. I'm sure Gaga will be able to figure something out with her label and her team. There is no reason to jump to conclusions about an era that is at least a year or two away! this Gaga is like the cheapest musician ever cuz she does almost everything byherself she produces with her producers, she writes she even direct her videos just look at Rihanna .... for one song she has to pay like 80k just to be written what about the other 231113 stuff that has to be done literally Gaga does not cost that much she just look expensive like she always labeled herself inexpensive hooker or cheap glam It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,775 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well I'm actualy afraid for her next album. I think she should take a break or release a jazz/pop album, maybe do some performances in small venues around the globe and work on her image for a while. Just what Beyoncé did after '4' with some commercials, Superbowl etc. Also she should let the 'art' concept go. It's bringing her nowhere at the moment and I'm sure even the majority of her own fanbase doesn't get it. I agree, especially with the first part. Don't go on a complete media break, do something like Beyoncá¼. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMum 2,532 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 this Gaga is like the cheapest musician ever cuz she does almost everything byherself she produces with her producers, she writes she even direct her videos just look at Rihanna .... for one song she has to pay like 80k just to be written what about the other 231113 stuff that has to be done literally Gaga does not cost that much she just look expensive like she always labeled herself inexpensive hooker or cheap glam Plus she gets to keep those coins herself every time she's played on the radio somewhere AROUND THE WORLD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickKills 12 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Gaga doesn't have a current single with any kind of significant airplay on the radio at this time. How hard is that for people to understand? (not directed at you) But the album still discounted on itunes and G.U.Y. is such a great video. :( Waiting for April 8th anyway.

VforVendetta 2,024 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I agree, especially with the first part. Don't go on a complete media break, do something like Beyoncá¼.This is why I say that Gaga needs to release many singlesx to keep the interest and not go to a complete black out, even if they flop. At least one more single is needed. Also it will be much better for her if she ends the era with a hit unlike with BTW that ended with a flop feeling because not only of MTN but because the whole era was overshadowed by TFM success.

izlazaz 0 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Why is Gaga held to such impossible standards? Because anyone who peaks so quickly and irrevocably is subsequently going to be viewed as being on a downhill slide. And just because an artist believes her/his latest work is amazing doesn't mean it is. ARTPOP isn't underperforming. It's doing as well as can be expected. Strip away all the hype and you have a good (not great) album by a great artist. Not everything Gaga touches is gold. But that fact doesn't detract from her talent. Fans of her talent won't be dismayed by the lack of 'slayage' this era. Gaga told Perez that she is a star and to get over it. She might as well say that to the world, and to charts, and to radio, and to all her fans. She's a star, a huge star! Nothing can or will change that fact. ARTPOP will sustain another incredible tour and then who knows what she will write! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is prefer them doing half of those interviews and doing more traditional Gaga promo, aka perform. TV promo isn't what it used to be. There are fewer big shows which feature singers (and those that do have limited seasons like X Factor and Voice final rounds). Also, kids under 25 are watching less TV. Or watching it on the internet. If they won't look up her GUY video they won't look up her TV performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do so too, but she doesn't have enough time for that AT THE MOMENT. And like people said all the time only a week ago, promotion with no radio support has no big long-term effect. Look at I Luh Yo Papi.. It's useless to perform right now. The label is doing exactly what they have to: Get big stations to spin -> get small stations to spin -> build stability at a higher position (Top 30? Top 20?) -> Promote -> Get radio to spin it for a longer time. I just hope she does some radio interviews in Australia, Italy, Germany and France. That's where she could use them the most.. Give every relevant Italian radio station besides RTL a hyped interview tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Okay Guys the fun is over now let's calm and continue to follow the charts, we don't want this to look like September 2013 where everyday this thread was being locked because of meltdowns. Keep it good no negativity please .... now request u motherlovers :legend: It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar 604 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Actually ..... I know that we don't wanna admit this but Gaga is best when she's on top, too bad she doesn't know how to be flop even with BTW when Judas fell off and later MTN didn't live to expectations she still was talked about and still sold albums and tickets. Just looked what happened when she dropped ARTPOP and a lot of people started bashing her then the DWUW situation did not helped and what .... she went into hiatus in a f.ucking depresion like wtf was going on she was melting down all way through november and december Now she is happy but the question is for how long ... Is the sudden rise based on the positve outcome lately I know that at SXSW interview she made it clear that she no longer care about being on top ... But still clearly she is affected in one way or another . I just hope that if GUY flop that Gaga wont go in anpthr hiatus like after MTN or DWUW Her depression came from a different place I think, it isnt directly related with the commercial success of a song but the reaction of people around her over that situation, people she considered friends turned their backs on her. And that hurts like hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
