Sis what do you think it is then? This is a POP song, its generic and safe as it just gets

Its repetitive, its poppy its dancey.

I could imagine this scenario if she would have served a Tame Impala-esque 6 minutes long experimental song but this is a 2 minutes radio mess.

Already reported

well that was quick

as much as you want to make yourself believe that this is a generic pop song it still isn't, compare it to every other top 40 hit and you'll see the vast difference. the fact stays this was a risky choice for a lead single because it's definitely doesn't fit the pop mold

Superpower

She should release an acoustic version

The issue is, the lead single is supposed to promote and get the word out that Gaga is back and her new album is coming. Now that we know that the album is coming 6 weeks after the single, that is very worrisome. I don't know how they are going to do it but they need some way to make everyone know her new album is coming, having the lead single outside the top 75 on radio, top 50 on spotify, and very soon out of the top 50 on itunes is killing the hype for the album. With a strategy like that, you need to do what Taylor/Adele does and make sure that the lead is a smash for it work.. Idk but i'm worried for the album now too.

What are Madge's and Riri's fans doing in this thread anyway?

I'm a fan. I also don't care about this flopping but I just think it is a bad and disappointed song, especially as her huge comeback single. Since all those very talented people were involved in it, I really expected better than this basic pop song.

The meltdowns in here.

I know it sucks to see our favs flop but y'all can't take Atrl/charts this serious.

YR.

The song is done.

I can't believe you guys are thinking that it's ok or acceptable that LADY GAGA'S LEAD SINGLE is leaving the Top 40 after a week.

Stop. No song on top 40 has this heavy of a guitar influence, unfiltered vocals, etc.

Believe what you want my dear monsters but saying Perfect Illusion is far from being radio-friendly or not safe is just a new low

At least accept the facts.

So just cause you said it it makes it automatically factual? What is wrong with you, Navys?

There's countless publications out there that expressed how this is nowhere near of what's being currently played on radio, in the US and ESPECIALLY Europe and Worldwide in general.

At least, if you want to make a point in here, try not make it sound absolutely delusional

From the key change, the shouting vocals to the absence of a chorus and the entire structure of the song being sort of messy, there is almost nothing safe about it.

OT: Gaga, wyd? Get on TV girl.

let us remember the slayage of Taylor's first Pop era and cross our fingers that Joanne will have at least 10% of its success

I see y'all are already believing the excuses. Where is the logic behind that statement? Right there is none. Just because the song differs from any other hit songs on the radio excludes the fact that its pop-leaning, short and repetitive and fulfills all the factors a radio hit needs

You said it's a Heavy Rock song and I corrected you. It's also listed as a Pop song on iTunes.

Not all pop songs are synonymous. And in case you haven't noticed, fast tempo 80's dance pop with screaming vocs is NOT dominating radio. Troll in SYG, fat.

So why was she doing promo on these radio stations and had payola, don't try to change history now that it didn't take off. 21 Pilots is rock and played constantly on the same stations.

BlueTimberwolf's statement is a FACT.

No other song in the top 40 has this flavor. She released a bold, dаring, innovative track.

Unfortunately hit singles don't sell albums. I won't name names but avoiding the main girls, there are plenty of flops that we all know have hit after hit and can't sell more than 1M worldwide.

Once Joanne is available, it'll be Gaga's job to promote it. Unlike previous eras where it was based on the first numbers.. seems she's avoiding everything she's done before and trying something else. Learn from mistakes and all that.

The album will be rather better than the single, and will be worth the wait. The story's Ronson is saying really reminds me of his sessions with Amy and they're out there somewhere.. for people to watch.. her just almost meditating with her guitar.. getting drunk, smoking weed and loving the recording sessions. That's what music is about, having fun and using the platform Gaga has been given to release the emotions that she's been avoiding for the majority of her career, hiding behind fashion and complex "art."

I have no worries whatsoever. If a loud mouthed, music snob like Ms Winehouse was bowing at Mark's feet calling him a genius then I will not be pressing play in October and moaning that it's ****. It's impossible. Even Gaga has given subtle praises that the guy's on fire. Poor RedOne.
