I think she said before Chrismas to give herself time. The label will obviously force her to release before Chrismas because that's the time she needs to release it. However, she also said they're still working on it. Ideally, she should release any of the previous 3 weeks before thanksgiving but...

The album is pretty much nearly done though , mixed, mastering etc...just finalization stages I guess

Does anybody remember how many views the audio clip of Applause accumulated in its first day?

Applause did 4,648,937
I think this might do similar #s after views catch up.

[Flawle$$]

Her worst lead single , what is this mess?

I want a 'surprise' performance where all of this 'laidback Stefani who loves her family' is an illusion. Hope the video is like that, she's in a normal ponytail etc until the last part of the song, the screen just FLIPS and it's all in colour, in 'Gaga outfit.'

Yes Jay!

[Almighty Gaga]

The live performances will be so epic

Oh, okay.
Seems like the post I was reading in the Applause thread was before the views caught up .

[OurLuckyStrike]

@Dr.Cake, wow, I inflated those views so much dd. At least PI is looking good so far.
edit: mess, it WAS actually 4m.

So, the video is most likely coming next week just like Applause. Today would have been good (assuming they saw the mixed reactions). It could have made people enjoy the song more rather than listening to it once and never checking back for it. but whatevz.

[Chaos Angel]

I think the video should drop right after the AHS premiere on Wednesday night. It would be a good way to get last minute streams for this tracking week but also a lot for next week.

Keep dreaming , she is trying to seem as normal and "just like everyone else" this era as she possibly can

She said the track is about things being a Perfect Illusion. She looks perfect, right? People like why the sudden change? Even the two radio hosts in UK kept mentioning about her name, making reference to her real name.. then someone else called her Stefan-Ga. I'd love for all of this to be some artistic piece. She's trying to fool us all that she's now changed!

Nah. People on YT heard the audio though YT. They wouldn't be here for a video until they stop using the YT audio.

Also, the boost that's gonna come is gonna result in a good first week but a plummeting second week. She needs longevity.

LOL You guys have been trying to find an 'illusion' amongst everything in the last one month.

The 'september' release month being an illusion (so she'd release in august), the lack of VMA appearance being one (so she'd appear in some capacity) etc.

This ain't no illusion y'all. 'Stop living in delusion' as our favourite fake song tells us. This is the gaga that we get. I think she'll go for some high fashion at some point in the era but not the full on insane gaga. She's just branding herself as a normal person now. And that's what she's needed since 2013 and what she's been working towards.

It will be interesting where Perfect Illusion debuts

wherever it debuts I'm sure it will raise (if radio gives it a chance) considering the ammount of people that hated it that love it now

[Zaney82]

I really love this! I don't understand how people are saying that it sound flat! The last chours to the end is EVERYTHING! How it changes progression is AMAZING!

Also the last 30 seconds of the song background music is electro pop at it's best! Listen with High Quality Headphones.

[State of Grace.]

someone get Jay in the Haus Of GaGa

Just like that, SHE BELTS OUT THESE VOCALS
No vocal warmup whatsoever. LEGEND. TALENT

[GrimGod]

After multiple listens this song really sounds like a track number 7 filler material. A Pat Benatar demo reject. Hit after hit until Bad Romance and then the biggest nosedive ever quality-wise. Tragedy.

[Damien M]

This just...isn't a great song. Oh well.

[lolzjustinwat]

I seriously can't stop hitting repeat. But the negativity that will ensue when it drops from the #1 spot is going to be so annoying.
