BuzzJack Music Forum _ Lady Gaga _ Would you be here for '911' being the third single?
Posted by: Jαsє 1st September 2020, 04:36 PM
Thoughts?
With Chromatica II kinda going viral and '911' having the most streams outside of the singles, I guess I see where her team are coming from if this does turn out to be single #03
I would! It sounded a LOT better live than I thought it was going to, and I've always considered it an album highlight. We'd also more than likely get a DARK video, which I'm so here for *.*

I AM SO TORN I DON'T KNOW
On one side, it clearly has appeal because it's performing one of the strongest out of all the album tracks, but on the flip side, I feel like there are a fair few much stronger songs on the album that I'd much rather see being promoted.
I have no idea, but more than anything, I guess I want Gaga to be happy with the choice and not be forced to release something she doesn't want to, so I'm happy to support whatever the team decide on ~
(and this is a gigantic BOP of course + it is SO different to SL and ROM and pretty much everything else in the charts, it's just I have more personal connections with other songs on the album)

f*** yes

Sarah Tanno (her makeup artist) posted
Her VMA performance tells us it's more than likely the next single, but little teasers like this seem to play into it even more!
Posted by: Klumzee 1st September 2020, 04:53 PM
I'm undecided! It's in my top half and definitely has some familarity factor considering the Chromatica II transition went viral basically. However there are songs I would rather see pushed ahead of it that feel a more of an 'event' than this song (the likes of Alice, Sine From Above, Babylon even Replay). It was good to see it get a nod at the VMA's but I'm not sure it has that much more steam left compared to other album tracks. If we were talking single #6 and a chance to get a music video for it then sure go ahead!
Posted by: HausofGhibli 1st September 2020, 05:14 PM
I've voted 'yes' because f*** it, it's totally bonkers and out there and whether it smashes or not, I am glad we are getting a single from a different section of Chromatica! Here for the ride~

I like 911 but there are much better songs on the album.
Release it with Chromatica II pls queen.
Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 1st September 2020, 05:32 PM
lol at Siri!!!
Anyway, I would have preferred perhaps Alice but I'll take 911 as well.
And at this point it doesn't really matter if it becomes a hit or not (unfortunately it's very hard these days making hits after album releases anyway) but if this goes Top 40 and she gives us a killer video then it is a HIT!!!
Posted by: Sour Candy 1st September 2020, 05:58 PM
It depends on how you look at it....Will it get extensive airplay? Absolutely not. Has it created buzz already? Damn yes.
It needs heavy playlisting on streaming services to become a hit of any kind though. But a kickass video would be enough for me.
I would say that Sour Candy was kind of the single #3 though, it has great streams and a lyric video. Or maybe a single 2.5 lol
Posted by: Nick Jonas 1st September 2020, 06:02 PM
Think this will flop in the UK. Should do better in the US. Sour Candy, Free Woman or Alice are the only tracks that might make the chart.
Posted by: Klumzee 1st September 2020, 06:04 PM
I think I'm now here for it! It's a curveball choice but not a totally ridiculous one and it already has some attention. We're never guaranteed another single so I'm just happy they're looking to push forward with more singles! As Bal said, it represents something different from Chromatica and her whole single discography to what we already have.
Posted by: LMLou 1st September 2020, 06:20 PM
Before the VMA performance I would be a solid no but I’m leaning more towards Yes now. That performance just brought the song to a whole new level, and if it becomes more of a used song on the Tick Tok trend I could see it taking off more than any other song on the album at this pint
Posted by: Jαsє 1st September 2020, 07:39 PM
I think she'd definitely incorporate Chromatica II into at least the video, which would be an EVENT *.*
Posted by: dan-G 1st September 2020, 07:47 PM
yes (and please give us a version combining it with Chromatica II so I can listen to it in a shuffled playlist)
Posted by: LJ JORD 7 1st September 2020, 08:06 PM
A very good choice. It’s one of the most streamed tracks anyways and has definite appeal outside the fanbase.
I’d be here for it.
Posted by: ɥɔʇᴉq 1st September 2020, 08:22 PM
It's my least favourite Chromatica song so no thanks bbz xo
Posted by: Adelita 1st September 2020, 10:08 PM
A big fat NO.
Posted by: Mixxer 2nd September 2020, 03:42 PM
How come nobody made a thread?
Ask Siri "What's the next Lady Gaga single" and she'll respond "911".
Also, Interscope created a streaming page (these pages are only made for singles) : https://ladygaga.lnk.to/911
Posted by: LJ JORD 7 2nd September 2020, 03:47 PM
I really think this is a great single choice.
It’s a bit bonkers and out there but it does have appeal and has good streams anyways so a full push would be welcome. Plus the transition with Chromatica II has a potential viral impact too. And the song would make such a good music video too.
It’s different to anything else on the album and on radio atm too but it also has a good length for radio play too. Hopefully a deal will be made and it’ll be put on decent playlists etc. But I’m here for task being a single!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd September 2020, 09:19 PM
I'm totally torn on this one.
It wouldn't be the worst choice, but there are better.
Posted by: StupidLove 2nd September 2020, 09:38 PM
I originally wanted Free Woman but heck why not, she's played it safe with SL and ROM. Why not go for something more classically bonkers Gaga?
Even if it flops, it'll generate interest and fans would EAT IT UP. I don't mind either way, I just hope 911 gets the attention it deserves at some point at least.
Posted by: Adelita 2nd September 2020, 10:24 PM
Not some of you thinking the transition has a chance to become a viral, no one will use it outside the fan base and '911' may become her worst performing single on the charts since G.U.Y.
Posted by: LJ JORD 7 2nd September 2020, 10:50 PM
911 stands out though because it’s different to anything she’s done before and one of the more quirky numbers on the album too.
Gaga always stood out with releasing songs that didn’t sound like what was on the radio at the time and 911 definitely fits that category.
Posted by: JulianNial 3rd September 2020, 04:16 PM
I can't see this having too much impact. I think in order to get another hit, it's going to have to be 'Alice' or nothing.

ROM was her most radio-friendly single in years that featured the most radio-played artist in the US at the moment and yet it only reached #10 on Pop radio.
911 is a fan favorite, so I'd rather have her release it than Free Woman - a more radio-friendly single that's gonna flop anyways.
All she needs is a good streaming playlisting, killer video and a few big performances. Getting another 100m streamed song and a Gold single in the US should be the goal.
Posted by: Adelita 4th September 2020, 06:59 PM
Fan favourites should remain just that, deep cuts. Spending a lot of money on an expensive budget video just to please some fans will only result in damage and she is already aware that this hasn't worked in the past (I think we all remember how much G.U.Y. bombed everywhere when she tried to please fans who have no market vision for success). You can't make the same mistake twice because the second time you make it, it's not a mistake, it's a choice.
Also, Alice, Free Woman and 911 all have sold over 200k units in the US so far and all will reach Gold (500k) by Q1 next year even without being singles, so if any of these songs become single, the goal isn't just gold but platinum or even more.
Her career should not be taken as an amusement park for her fans, the industry is cruel and unforgiving, if you have the opportunity to do it right, then do it right.
Posted by: HausofGhibli 5th September 2020, 08:08 AM
Fans are freaking out and stressing that she will controversially release this on September 9th (9/11).

Didn't the fans want 'Gypsy' and not 'G.U.Y.'? That's certainly what I remember the consensus being.
I think this is a whole different ball game though, by that point when it was released (6 months later) the ARTPOP campaign was well and truly dead in the water with no hope of a revival.
Posted by: Lukuzz 5th September 2020, 10:37 AM
Yes but make sure Chromatica II is included in the single version intro

that was different. ARTPOP had some potential hits left like Gypsy that would've definitely done better.
But now with Chromatica, seeing how radio treated ROM, I don't feel like there is ANY song that's gonna be a hit. So why don't just please the fans since she's gonna flop anyways?

This is not true. Free Woman https://twitter.com/chartdata/status/1292271880485793792. Sour Candy is the only song that will reach 500k by Q1, the rest will struggle to reach 200k. I mean, how do you expect each of those songs to add an extra 400k units in the US alone when they are barely pulling 100k daily on Spotify? Doesn't make much sense.

But where is the "opportunity"? What song could be a hit? Also, Gaga has nothing left to prove, especially after she had such a big hit with ROM this year, so I don't think anyone's gonna care if she flops with a 3rd post-album single.
Sour Candy is the only song that could reach Platinum in the US if they decide to push it, but I doubt it could be put on TTH again.
Posted by: LJ JORD 7 5th September 2020, 10:50 AM
I’m seeing so many people on Twitter freaking out that this is gonna get a single push on 9/11.
But the song is about something totally different to 9/11 and the fans for the last few months have been desperate for her to release a single and now they want the opposite. I mean it might raise some eyebrows if she does happen to release this on Friday but I don’t think it’ll cause that much damage if she does. It’s not as though the song makes any reference to that.
She released Rain on Me with Ariana on the same day as the Manchester arena attacks too and that become a #1 smash. I think the worry over releasing this on 9/11 itself is just fans worrying for the sake of not much.

Both Gypsy and G.U.Y. would flop if they were released as singles, and the situation isn't much different, because we are talking about 3rd singles in both situations. 911 works as an album track, but it doesn't work as a single, that's a fact.

But anything as the 3rd single from ARTPOP would have flopped at that point, she's in a much better position now.
I, like you would much prefer 'Alice' though.

Gypsy? LMFAO, this song would tank even more, compared to it, G.U.Y. seems to have been the right choice, even though it wasn't.
The answer to your question: Because Alice is the biggest chance she has of having another hit from this album at this point, and because she shouldn't waste time and money releasing fillers whose buzz will last only a week after its release???QUOTE

I don't rely on what chartdata says, I make my own estimates, and according to my estimates, all 3 main album tracks of the album have sold over 200,000 units in the US. In addition, Chartdata doesn't update sales automatically, when it's said that a song sold over 100,000 units, it may be at like 150,000 units sold or even more, and Sour Candy has sold over 600,000 units in the US for some time now.QUOTE

The opportunity is obvious: Alice, Replay and Babylon are much more commercial and radio friendly songs than 911, plus, the more hits the better, why waste time releasing fillers when you can go further with the right move?
I know that in the streaming era, after the album release, the fertile period for future hits is almost over and the chances of getting a hit after that are rare, but she can try and fight for another hit instead of kicking the stick and releasing a G.U.Y. 2.0 that will last only a week on the charts. Also, Sour Candy has sold over 600,000 units (375k with Spotify + YouTube only) in the US, this song will get platinum until the end of the year.
Posted by: Adelita 5th September 2020, 02:38 PM
If Chartdata said that Katy Perry's Daisies has sold over 500,000 units in the US, imagine Sour Candy, which has literally the double of Daisies' streams (Spotify + YouTube combined) and was way more successful on AM US & pure sales?!

I’m here for anything being a single tbh it’s definitely time to push something else though and this does have potential to take off outside the stan fanbase.
However how many times in the past have we been convinced of Gaga doing something on a specific date and it not happening

Posted by: Nina West 7th September 2020, 05:47 PM
If "911" is the next single, then its a pretty odd choice, especially considering when there's "Sour Candy" & "Free Woman" revving to go. Thought "SC" would be the next choice, considering it charted high upon the album's release & has the most streamed album track on Spotify.
"911" just sounds like a great album track, not really single material. Also 'FW' has to be in the running at some point.
In my opinion there's 5 potential singles from this era (including the 2 we already had). This is how I'd do this era:
"Stupid Love"
"Rain On Me" (ft Ariana Grande)
"Sour Candy" (ft BLACKPINK)
"Free Woman"
"Alice"
Posted by: Adelita 8th September 2020, 03:37 PM
Reliable source, so this basically confirms 911 as the next single (I agree with him on everything btw except about SL not having deserved to be a single).
Posted by: HausofGhibli 8th September 2020, 08:39 PM
I think the only thing left to confirm this is Gaga herself now! 91.1% sure it's the next single x

Pop a 911 then pop another one (Free Woman hopefully~)
Posted by: Rossco 8th September 2020, 10:32 PM
They can’t be serious! Free Woman is the obvious choice! I don’t get the Sour Candy love - not a good single choice either imo
