Mostly it's songs that are growers and I think Perfect Illusion fits this to the T. Use Mr. Know It All and Stronger as example. Stronger would've smashed hard either way. MKIA wouldn't have went top 10 if it weren't the lead single. It's actually smart to use a mellow/grower song as the lead single so it can benefit from a bigger push.
So for all we know Perfect Illusion might be one of the least radio friendly songs on the album.

PI was kind of growing on me with every listen, but it also fizzled out quickly. The song is just bad, and if it was a grower, well, then it would actually be growing. It's not. It's receding.
