It might not boost albums sales a whole lot but I think it would be a much more successful single (in terms of sales) than TBGO would. TBGO is too dancey/disco...it didn't work for COADF so why do you think it'll work now? Because of Kanye? I don't think his cameo is strong enough to get this album back in the top 100 although I think the biggest mistake she made was releasing GI2M as a single. That song has seriously underperformed all over the world. If she wanted a dancey 2nd single she should've made it TBGO.

Agreed. GI2M is a good song, but it was a bad choice for a single. That, along with the lack of promotion caused it to flop. As for BGO, I still have mixed feelings about it being a single. It could possibly do well because of Kanye, but like you said, it's too dancey, at least for the US market. I still think it would have been a better idea to release GI2M as the second single overseas, with BGO as the second single here in the States, reserving the 3rd single to be MA everywhere.
