It all comes down to Katy's payola. I hear from a very reliable source that she's not just paying for Dark Horse and Birthday's spins now, she's also paying them to keep G.U.Y. off the airwaves. When will the madness end?

Why is Katy wasting money on something that would happen anyway?

Another day. Another thread to take the blame away from lady gaga.

So you guys refuse to believe there is corruption in places like billboard but you'll happily call corruption when she's not getting radio spins.

There's no corruption. The song is not doing well because it's not a great song. It's lady gagas fault. It's her responsibility. Applause and DWUW failed because she was "mismanaged" now GUY is failing because "the industry is corrupt" - this constant shifting the blame is becoming ridiculous. The material isn't up to par. The music speaks for itself. It's as basic as that.

Sis... Applause and DWUW were hits, have you been living under a rock?

G.U.Y. is a flop tho for sure.

They're not playing it because it's not a hit. It's not liked by the GP. It's not a good song. - it has nothing to do with corruption.

My comment just went straight over your head. Then why the sudden mention of Katy Perry when it had nothing to do with her in the beginning? Why didn't he pick any other song out of THOUSANDS which have potential to be a summer smash? Why did he particularly pick Katy Perry's Birthday? I'll tell you sis, because there's always going to be a comparison and rivalry between them and if you like one more than the other than obviously the latter isn't going to do as well. That ITSELF is a corruption. At this point, even if Gaga writes an amazing song which is so beautiful lyrically and melodically, the GP isn't going to be here for it because the radio isn't going to even feed it to them in the first place. Her brand has been tarnished.

And figured you would be camping in this thread given the opportunity. Why don't you go play bingo with your fave.

What he's trying to say is that the fact he brought Katy up out of no where (arguably) shows that radio stations themselves have a preference independent of the public's preferance/bias. Yes it's true that the GP may prefer other music but this preference that the radio station has revolves around their popularity or revenue and so would pick music based on what their listeners want to hear.

I can see how it can be seen as corruption because radio used to be a platform to play and introduce all music but in the case of GUY it hasn't been given a real chance based on how it's already performing and not how it could perform, like Birthday or any other song tbh.

This was well said. I didn't really think Gaga was being sabotaged, but now I can see why someone would think so.

think about the tons of talented acts with great music that don't get played on the radio at all.... and I'm not just talking about "indie" artists either.

I think G.U.Y. is a great song but I don't need top40 radio to tell me that.

But I can understand why she gets sabotaged.
That's what you get when your music is experimental, boundary-pushing and not basic.

Yeah, experimental and boundary-pushing songs arent usually received well by mainstream radio, true. Experimental is not a synonym to unsuccessful tho. The reason why is a basic song like GUY by one of the most talked about and promoted mainstream pop artists not doing well is most probably because people just dont like it. Stop with these stupid excuses.

[DuckaDucka12]

Gaga's never had a lot of radio power and GUY is not GP friendly at all

[J03Y]

in all seriousness it's probably a blacklisting. for some odd reason, though. Applause was her last hit and it was months ago you'd think this blacklist would've been tossed since their audience generally likes her again.

this is very well written

[bobbymfw]

This song sounded like a hit to me, very much in the vein of "Poker Face" and "LoveGame" and I'm sure ths would have been a 2 or 3x Platinum hit had she released it in her Fame eras and not destroyed her brand.

[jonasha]

Yes, the whole Universe is against her.

Youtube, radio, tv, itunes, spotify all are against ha. Poor Gaga.

[Silas]

My radio just got through playing G.U.Y. ....not all stations are biased.

It isn't a good song. Simples no sabotage
