Doja is clearly influenced by Gaga, and she seems to be Gaga's fave girl among these new girls on the music scene.

FT, GG and PG are the worst songs on their respective albums, although Plastic Doll manages to be worse than Fun Tonight.

Only MJH and Money Honey are good in this batch.

@1668553189203890176 The other 3 are: Bloody Mary, I'll Never Love Again and LoveGame. Insane

Why is it a single without ever being sent to radio and never making it into big playlists? That's the definition of an official single in the streaming era.

Shallow is a country song that starts with Bradley singing it, pop radio would never play it no matter how impactful the Oscar performance was. However, on adult radio, Shallow smashed, being the 2nd most successful song of 2019 at the AC format and the 11th at HAC. They should have worked Shallow on country radio instead of forcing it on pop because even Garth Brooks' cover of Shallow was successful on the format, not to mention the fact that country songs (except those by Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs) only make the Hot 100 because of the massive airplay of the country format. They missed a good meal by not sending Shallow to country radio. Back to ARUTW, it's a way more radio-friendly song than Shallow, Shallow was only more successful because of the buzz surrounding the alleged affair between Gaga and Bradley, budget for being the lead single off the sountrack and the Oscar performance. If even Shallow managed to break into the overall top 10 on radio, ARUTW would have gone Top 5, hitting #1 at HAC/AC with ease and going Top 10 at pop radio with a little push from her label. Not officially releasing this song will always be one of the biggest mistakes of her career.

Music not the bling

The song was never officially sent to UK radio, it was never an official single in the UK, only in France and Italy where it was officially sent to radio. If the song received any form of promotion in the UK through radio or TV, it was certainly organic because of the hype of the film and had no influence from her record company on that. It should be noted that just sending the song to radio has no effect on the actual charts unless it's sent to US radio where airplay is one of the components of their chart. Radio is not a component neither of the UK charts nor of any European country except Germany, which has included this format on their metrics in recent years. Anyone who understands the slightest about charts knows that radio only has an impact on iTunes these days, and, as is well known, iTunes means nothing on the charts in the streaming era, so sending a song to radio stations in random countries these days is a dumb and outdated strategy, unless you send it to US radio, where that metric will actually push the song up the charts directly. It was also never performed on any TV shows, its video is just snippets of the movie and it also never had huge playlist reach and it wasn't kept for a long time on big playlists, the song was extremely organic since day one and it was never an official single since it never had an official worldwide push like any official single gets.

This song was only officially released in France and Italy, it wasn't sent to US radio (one of only three countries to include airplay as a component of its charts along with Canada and Germany), so having released this song as a single only in those two countries wasn't a smart strategy and doesn't make it an official single.

Explain why

It was only released in France and Italy, that ain't "several countries" and hardly makes this song an official single.

@1667576490794405890 The biggest waste of her career along with Starstruck and DWUW.

She did that! Her first billionaire solo song on Spotify. She did it with a non-single, amazing. This song would already be at 2B if it had been released and promoted as an official single.

Dope is one of ARTPOP's gems and is immortalized as a top 10 solo hit in the worst period of her life and career.

Not the song but the Born This Way album as a whole.

New Rules?

Yes

Best song on the album. I love it.

But she recorded it in 2018 at the same time she was recording ASIB.

#15 most viewed music video of 2023 so far, by the way.

MsXdUtlDVhk 200M views in just 4 months, an unofficial video... What a wasted opportunity. I'll never forgive the neglect they did with this single.

Also Love For Sale

These are great numbers, especially on YouTube, given that only Latin and Asian artists still get a lot of views on this platform.

I like it, but she could have given herself more in the song. It has great daily streams though.

Yes.
