Lad FadGa is the only reason that PI isn't commercial. Lbr.

The fact that Fad probably thinks PI is commercial-sounding is the real problem here. So out of touch with reality.

She said the label picked the single but she should stop letting her label decide her singles for her.

If Born This Way was released now instead of 2011, it would've bombed just as hard as PI tbh

Godga came off the TFM-era yet BTW got less airplay than even the Fatte Shemale singles

Perfect Illusion is a commercial song. If she would've just sang it in the tone that she sings the bridge, none of this would've occurred, lol.

its chart performance would've been more or less the same

The Weeknd his song doesn't scream top 3 debut when you hear it wow

His Spotify power>>

I wish that I could dance on a single prayer.
I, I wish I could be strong without somebody there.

I, I wish I could be strong without the scheiße, yeah.

Just Dance (her most basic, generic + trashiest lead single) says hi though.

Just Dance has an intro and two different bridges. I hate when Monsters call the song "basic."

Mess, I can't even imagine what the rest of the album would be like if that was the case.

To be fair, any music GaGa would put out nowadays would have 'limited commercial appeal', just for simply having her name attached.

Y'all said the same thing in 2013 about Applause, and yet it became her biggest radio hit.
So clearly, her name isn't the problem here. The song is noisy + her voice can be unbearable for some people. That's legit all.

Just dance has the robotic spoken word bridge. Bad romance has all those growls. Born this way has extremely pro lgbt message. Applause has verses that make almost no sense. Nothing sets perfect illusion apart from another pop song, not saying its bad but it flopped because people dont care for gaga anymore

this doesn't make any sense, especially for Applause, PIss and BTW

Just Dance is much MUCH better than Perfect Illusion.

Rihanna's pop ballad didn't have commercial appeal 6 months after she was brutalized by Chris Brown and everyone was waiting with bated breath to hear what she had to say about it? LOL

Also, I was doing the math when this thread was closed:

115 million singles = approx. $148,350,000 in revenue
18 million albums = approx. $179,820,000
Total: $328,170,000

95 million singles = approx. $122,550,000
30 million albums = approx. $299,700,000
Total: $422,250,000

Gaga wins!!!

Perfect Illusion > Just Dance.

I don't wanna check by myself (don't listen to that song willingly so) but I do remember it being basic and trash. Been saying that since 2009 (I'm basically a JustDanceGa hater).

Bad Romance was bashed for the weird vocals and was flopping before the video release

Just Dance literally took a year to smash because it was too eurodance for US radio

BTW being radio-friendly

Applause has those radio repelling verses

[SupahBass05]

Wait that PI acoustic

Would love to know how many people changed their station from AMP this morning

[Duca]

Just Dance is great
