RR is hardly a pop ballad... and yes bring up the incident. Because that has everything to do with a song's sound.
That has everything to do with what people were anticipating from Rihanna at the time. People wanted a break-up ballad. She gave them a break-up ballad.
And Russian Roulette is one of the most pop songs ever. What do you think it is? Alternative rock?
Just Dance has an intro and two different bridges. I hate when Monsters call the song "basic."
I hope the Joanne songs are good enough so that certain monsters don't feel the need to bash Godga's previous brilliant work to make her current work look better
- No promo.
- The GP is still unaware of it.
- Not commercial.
- No Spotify playola (which they swore wouldn't help Rise)
- Radio hasn't shoved it down the GP's ears (which already have said NO)
Bad Romance was probably the less commercial gags lead single by the time of its release
BTW and Applause are both generic edm they are def commercial lol
PI is not generic but songs like Ride and Heathens are far less commercial and they are some of the biggest hits of the year (they are both absolute trash tho ugh)

One of the most pop songs ever? It has indeed lots of alternative rock elements *cue the pretentious gasps that are based on nothing*
And a break up ballad? Have you even heard the song?

Ddd the liddos
You act like all of these excuses are coming out of the woodwork now, though.
I knew the song was going to flop as soon as I heard it. And I thought the opposite for all of Gaga's other lead singles. I thought Applause would go #1.
