No I still believe that Million Reasons is the slightly better choice for now. It's more winter and christmas - ish. That A-Yo performance made me like the song much better tho. It can wait.
I think MR can be a hit at any time, but I don't know about AYO if it becomes a third single.
It seems like AYO is the best way to represent her new direction, has the most hit potential,
will be best at the Super Bowl, can make for a great music video...
A ballad should hardly ever be a first or second single IMO.
I personally love MR more than A-YO but I don't care which one will become a single. I just don't want the Joanne era to be the first era with zero top 10 hits
I had to let the album sink in over a few days, but it truly is an amazing album. You can feel her emotion behind every song, and it stands well amongst her best

I hate her for snubbing poor PI ( Inbefore Karaoke shoots it above both MR and AYO
We should be glad she did and let's hope she'll snub it at the SB too.
Anyway just release MR now and then they can chose between DH and A-yo.
A-yo is already getting a lot of attention too, so it can remain a promo single and they can release Diamond Heart for Superbowl, would be perfect to open her set with " Young wild american"
