Yes - it would have smashed if they released it in October (around Halloween, after Alejandro). Then DITD should have been released in Dec to close the era.

[Rama]

No. It's a basic, boring, forgettable song.

Alejandro & DITD >

[Brando]

Ye. Alejandro is cute, but not a smash, not to mention the atrocious video. Should have released Dance In The Dark as 3rd single.

[Elliot]

singles should have gone:

1st: Bad Romance
2nd: Telephone
3rd: Monster
4th: Dance In The Dark

[Callum]

nope, but she defo should've pushed dance in the dark as a ww single

[Lulu]

Yes, it should have been the 4th single.

[Forevermore]

Yes. It would have been a smash.

[lancelovesgaga]

She always pays dust to her good songs.

[Shakira Stan]

It's one of her best songs, they did a big mistake. Interscope should stop listening to GaGa and do their job.

[Shinning]

Alejandro>>>>

[BadHabits]

I was disappointed that she didn't release Monster and Dance In The Dark. I didn't like Telephone and actually wished she saved it for her Andy Warhol ARTPOP album with the consumerism.

[ElectricFrancis]

Yes, It would've smashed. It was perfect to close the TFM era

[rihannabiggestfan]

No.

Dance in the Dark should have been the fourth and final single. They made a right choice here.

[iHooker]

Nope. would have flopped

[OurLuckyStrike]

wait you made me remember how amazing this song is!

"I asked my girlfriend if she seen you around before, she mumbled something while we got down on the floor"

[Alyjandro]

I think so, even more than DITD. Monster was dark enough to be a gem on TFM but still dance/pop enough in its lyrics and production to hold safe mainstream appeal. Even my best friend who generally doesn't care for modern pop has Monster on her iPod.

[nky0411]

she should release Monster after Alejandro so that people could forget all the controversy from the video

[gagakyle]

Yes they did.

[vamp]

The wardrobe malfunction, the glass not breaking..

[Tsuko]

Everybody was begging for Alejandro to be released at the time. But it could've been released after that. I think it was sent to radio in New Zealand or Australia wasn't it? And it went top 40.
