A lot of times, monsters say DWUW was a hit. Is it?

yes

especially considering it had no music video and not much promo

Yes a moderate hit

Only in stan world is a #13 peaking song a flop

A platinum-certified song that sells over 2 million worldwide in a dead digital sales climate and almost peaks in the top ten of the Hot 100 without a music video in the streaming era and a controversial feature is most certainly a hit.

yes it was, it felt bigger than it charted too. also for having no video it did amazing.

Every Lady Gaga song is a hit

In Cambodia it spent 2 weeks in the top 10 so yeah

It was a moderate hit, yes. And did very well for a song with no video. So not necessarily a huge hit, but not a flop.

it did pretty much the same as Unconditionally, so yes.

Only compared to G.U.Y.

Of course, and a global one too.

It could've been if the album version featured Christina.

A moderate hit

Yes. Top 10 on Pop, peaked right outside the Top 10 on the Hot 100 (easily would have peaked in it if it had a video), sold almost 2 million in the US. Not a ~smash~ but it definitely did well enough to be called a hit.

This

This it was a moderate hit

Yes and it deserved to be one. It's a great song
