the "Bill Werde did it and got fired" argument falls flat because he dragged Gaga for encouraging her fans to cheat the Hot 100 formula just months before that.
"A Thousand Years" is such a kiii. It never cracked the top 30 on Billboard yet it's bigger than many top ten hits, and even some #1s, released around the same time. Longevity > quick lil' singles
Radios have started playing it. Italy never fully supported him and his break didn't help but generally he was wildly recognized even before Mirrors re-introduced him, so he's doing great and prob CSTF will help his next era
It's funny how nobody realises that Dope should've been much higher, probably top 3 if they didn't reduce the 100k copies from ARTPOP's pre-order. Billboard made a mistake.

Imagine if that acutally happened
I'm pretty sure "Dope" lost some sales due to Complete My Album activating before midnight on release day, but it was the worst performing of the three promo singles (it fell from #1 the fastest and hardest) and I seriously doubt that Gaga had 100k preorders on iTunes.
