I have my own ideas for ARTPOP, and Act II. I will post my ideas below, and you can post yours. Keep it cute.
ARTPOP
Single #1: Applause
Single cover:
She should have had a single cover like this, the GP would have liked it much more.
Description: She should have kept it as Applause, I don't get the hate for the song I actually like it, it was a good lead single, none other would have fit it better, the screw up with the leak is what messed it up. She should have kept it such as:
Released date: August 19, 2013
Music video release date: August 19, 2013
So, she should have kept video release date & release the song by the video, forcing people to watch the video in order to hear the song, resulting in more views.
- She shouldn't have released it on GMA, b/c it took away views.
- She should have kept the video the same, except add maybe a few more scenes w/ the fiber optic wig & some prettier looks.
Now lets get down to the stats, If all of this would have happened, my predictions for chart run, video, sales, etc. would be:
Music Video:
25-40m views 1st week.
& by now 175-245m views (around the same)
US
Hot 100 - #3, 12-14 wks in Top 10 (#3 debut)
Digital Songs - #1 (1 week), 10 weeks in Top 10 (#1 debut) with 400,000 copies sold.
Radio Songs - #4, 5-7 weeks in Top 10, 110-120m A l peak.
Canada
CA Hot 100: #2, 10-13 wks in Top 10 (#5 debut)
UK
UK Singles: #3-5
Sales
U.S. - 2m
WW - 3-5m
Single #2: Do What U Want (ft. R Kelly)
Single Cover:
Release date: Oct 21, 2013
Music video release date: Nov 25, 2013
Okay, first of all, the Video should have been released.
So here's some thoughts.
- She should of performed this with R. Kelly at the Youtube Music Awards, and had Youtube promote the hell out of it like they did with Dope, because if they had, it would have been top 5, or at LEAST Top 10, if they had performed it. Dope went #8 with the performance & it was dull af. And this would have boosted the song in sales, airplay, etc. & it would have stuck around a little while in the Top 10, and then the video released (Nov 25, monday) & that would have helped it rise Top 3 most likely.
- Performance at the AMAs too. Think about it, YMAs performance, then video hype (Top 5 or 10 hit from that) and the hype of the video + the AMAs performance (Nov 24) & then release video next day, (monday nov 25) and add all of that promo and hype together and you get an outbreak in sales, and streaming would be huge most likely. That would have insured it Top 3, Maybe #1 if she was lucky.
If all of this would have happened, my predictions:
Music Video
Lady Gaga - Do What U Want ft. R. Kelly
Views: 40-50m first week due to huge hype, and by now around 250-300m.
Likes: 1m+
Dislikes: 100-200k+ (Controversy)
Comments: 300-600k+ (due to the R. Kelly parts)
US
Hot 100: #3, (with all the promo, performances, video, it would have spent anywhere from 8-12 wks in top 10 or more), and it would have debuted at #13 back in october like it did, but smash cause of promo, video, performances, hype, etc.
Radio songs: Top 5 (most likely #3 or maybe a #1) if promoted right. I mean it peaked at #12 & i heard it on my local top 40 station everyday multiple times, people loved it. And it smashing on Hot 100, would have made it be bigger on radio.
Digital songs: #1 for sure, its highest sales week would have been probably around 180-270k (which at that time would have given it a #1), around 10+ wks in top 10, and its debut it would have done the same (#3 debut, around 150-160k sales)
Canada
CA Hot 100: #1 for sure, i mean it peaked at #3 in January, even tho no mv, and that, CA stanned hard for her, so. 10+ wks in Top 10, big on canadian radio, etc.
UK
UK singles: #1 debut in November.
Sales
U.S. - 2-3m
WW - 4-6m or more.
Single #3: Dope (yes, it would have smashed, dont f%cking hate me for it)
Single Cover:
They could have made the online single cover a gif? I mean, it would work.
Release date: Dec 31, 2013
Video release Date: Dec 31, 2013
Guys, Dope could have smashed with some killer performances & promo. I mean, think about it..... She could perform it at the Grammies and it would blow up. & The video needed to be released the same day as the song was released. Because by the time the video had gotten enough views, by the end of January, the Grammies performance could boost sales & send it to the top ten if not already. If she played her cards right, my guess is dope would be a Top 5 hit?
If all of this above, my predictions:
Music Video
Lady Gaga - Dope (Official)
Views: 10-20m in first week only. The views would be moderate. probably 45-60m views by the time of the Grammys. The Grammys would make it more popular making the views go faster. & by now probably 120-135m views. That would be ok wouldn't it? Moderate at least.
Likes: 500-650k.
Dislikes: 20-50k (because it IS Gaga after all, even the ***flawless G.U.Y. video has over 50k dislikes)
Comments: only 150-200k bc the video probably wouldn't be that "interesting" I mean it would, but not like a shock factor.
US
Hot 100: #5, maybe #3 IF she's lucky, but probably would just scrape #5 for a week or two then fall into lower Top 10s. It would spend most likely spend 5-7 wks in Top 10 (not many) and would have debuted in the 30s-50s (Maybe #50?) it would have grown tho.
Radio songs: #5-3? IF shes lucky, again. Because radio is (or at least was in 2013) kind of there for ballads (Stay for example) And what about All of me now? It would have done OK on radio but not as huge as DWUW.
Digital songs: #3 or MAYBE #1 if she got lucky. Because it would have shot up to #3 post-Grammys week, selling a healthy 200k or more? It would have highest sales week of 200-300k, due to Grammys, etc. It wouldnt spend long in Top 10, 5 wks maybe? The Hot 100 would be riding off of exposure & radio more than sales tbh.
Canada
CA Hot 100: #3 (again bc canada kinda stanned for her some) and her songs seem to do better over there, but NOT #1, lol never ever for Dope sorry. It would have spend like 5-10 wks max in Top 10, not sure tho, & sleeper hit in Canada too.
UK
UK Singles: #5 if shes lucky, it wouldnt be big in the UK, probably peak barely Top 5 or lower parts on Top 10? Not big there.
Sales
U.S. - right at 2m
WW - 3-3.5m maybe
Overall, Dope would be a fairly decent sized hit, tho become a memorable ARTPOP song because of its heartfelt lyrics.
Single #4: Gypsy
Single cover:
Release date: June 23, 3014
Music Video release date: July 21, 2014
Okay, so, we have moved forward to now, and this is my hopes for the future. Gaga should release "Gypsy" & make it the sequal to Telephone (video)... I know it is a ballad partly, but Gypsy kinda sounds like a good Telephone sequel tbh, the video could contain a little bit of Aura, like at the beginning, start out with "I killed my former friend/ left her in the trunk on highway 10" and have a opening scene(s) like that. Then transition into Gypsy making the story softer where she realizes her wrongs, and she is enlightened with the things she realized she did wrong (ala it could mean realizing this disastrous era) If the song is promoted right, such as GMA, SNL, Late night shows, summer fests??? etc, and then at the VMAs she could stretch it out and perform for some last-minute sales boosts.
So..if this happens, my predictions:
Music Video - July 21, 2013
Views: 10-20m first week, and 30m by end of July. Then, she can start to gain on views if it gets popularity, and end up with around 120-150m by end of 2014, or maybe more??
Likes: 450-700k
Dislikes: 20-60k cause its gaga
Comments: 150-450k depending on the "shock" value..
US
Hot 100 - #5, maybe #3 if its popular but idk cuz of her career...or where its headed...
Digital - #5-1 anywhere in that range..if its good and ppl like it
Radio - #10-1 tbh it could do great or not idk at this point
Canada
CA Hot 100 - #5-3, it depends. Even if it does poorly in the US, it will do ok in Canada, I mean, DWUW did lol.
Uk
UK Singles - #10-1 cuz it could go #1 (not hard) and if not itll debut in top 10 somehow lol.
Sales
US - 1-3m depending on how ppl like it
WW - 1-6m depending on how ppl like it lol
AND.............if ALL else fails............................................. ........... VENUS!
Single #5: Venus
Single Cover:
Release date: Sept 8, 2014
Music video: Sept 8, 2014
Now, venus had smash potential IMO. I mean, radios might play it? and she needs a controversial video, something odd yet captivating & the gp will be like "wow!!" or something. And if Gypsy didnt do well, it COULD Dark horse it
Because, venus was already a promo single, so. And if gypsy smashes then even better, that paves the way for Venus to sneak up & snatch weaves (maybe)
So, if it happens, predictions:
Music Video - Sept 8 2013
Views: 30m first week if its shocking. and 150-175m by end of year
Likes: 500k-1m (it depends)
Dislikes: 50k-100k
Comments: 200k-500k
US
Hot 100 - #3 because it seems like a good peak? it seems possible
Radio - probably only like #10 or a little higher, cause i cant envision myself in my car hearing "ROCKET #9 TAKE OFF TO THE PLANNETTT!!!!!!! VENUS!!!" or "AFRODITEY SEASHELL BAKINEY!" so.
Digital - #1 if it has big sales one week?..
Canada
CA Hot 100 - #5-1 bc again canada stans for everything it seems...So it would do ok there..
UK
UK singles - #10-1 again bc..it might be one of those songs that debut top 10, or #1, it depends..
Sales
US - 2m-3m at highest
WW - 3m-5m at highest
/end era & artpop act II or call it something else.
