I haven't heard anyone stanning over Come to mama, hey girl, just another day, or Grigio girls. Are they any good? And what's the difference between the work tape and original Angel Down? I'm keeping myself a Joanne virgin til album release day!

Basically this lol

Sis ATRL taste in general is chart success-based

Ive been watching this site ever since and HOW QUICK change its opinion once a song gets successful

Look what happened in Rihanna's Work

Yeah I know, I agree with you. What I'm saying is that Joanne will not have chart success at all. Nothing screams hit or anything like that. In fact I feel like there will be even more meltdowns when the first week numbers come in etc lol that's why I want us to all just focus on music this time tbh
It will be so much more enjoyable that way

You're so wrong.

Gaga wanted to release Aura. They chose Applause instead = SMART to me (I'm not talking about Gaga here, just in a commercial perspective).
Gaga wanted to release Venus, and they changed her plans, and released Do What U Want. Yep, it does sound smart to me.

Interscope didn't want any other singles during the Artpop era, but Gaga still went on anyway. And yes, it was, again, a smart decision of interscope to stop trying to make an era that was doomed happen.

As of for the BTW era, I don't know what/who made the decision, so I can't judge.

Anyway, y'all always here talking **** about Interscope as if they're the devils, but they did their best to help Gaga succeed every.single.time.

THIS It's so bittersweet to me cause I'm already guilting myself for liking this album so much already. Cause I have many great memories tied to BTW and it's an exceptional album but I feel like I'll make many more with Joanne. Cause the music is super super convenient and right up my alley.

I believe Gaga wanted Sexxx dreams as the lead tho.

why is every song so goooooood omg those snippets are destroying me

Album release week:

Gaga performs:

Million Reasons on Good Morning America
Angel Down on Jimmy Fallon
Joanne on Ellen

And Joanne + Ayo on SNL

The album will open with 500k

I need John Wayne in HQ now

Delete this.

Gaga admitted she leaked Aura herself because

a) it was the lead single she wanted
b) since plans changed, she still wanted it to be the first song fans would hear.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves

gaga's story about singles changes everytime...

in a radio interview she said she wanted sexxx dreams, but she also leaked aura cause it wasn't the first single....let's also not forget that she asked if we wanted SD, JND, Aura or Swine as the second single. then we all thought the second single would be gypsy cause it was hyped and even used as an banner on her facebook, then she surprised with venus. in short: everything was a mess. truly artpop era.

in the end: gaga will never choose the single alone. i think interscope does and she can give some input.

At this point I reckon Come To Mama may be my absolute favorite of all I've heard (well, at this point, I shouldn't get too carried away) and I adored Just Another Day too

Anyone else?

I can't at some of you saying that PI was a wrong lead single choice when it's the most single-worthy song on the album.

Shots were fired on the street
By the church where we used to meet.
Angel down Angel down
But the people just stood around.
