Isn't it only being released halfway through May? I thought radio usually only playlist 3 weeks before release?

It's far too early. It's not released for another 6 weeks or so.
Having said that, it wouldn't suprise me if they did snub it when the times come. R1 have really been pissing me off recently with their daft playlist policies! |

The song hasn't "been" yet. Look at Katy's Dark Horse. It was riding high on Itunes weeks before it's official "impact date", so R1 refused to playlist it until like 4 weeks prior to the impact date
And now iv lost the bloody tweet. But it was one of the 'little monsters' quoting a reply from radio one saying 'our playlist team make decisions...bla bla bla.unfortunately gaga is not on the playlist this time' etc etc |

Even though I'm not a fan of the word 'Outdated' especially when it comes to music, I have to agree that compared to her first few years, she has seemingly declined in terms of popularity.
I admire and respect her much more than artists who go down the safe route. |

That's only because she isn't doing the same type of music she did during The Fame era. People just want another Just dance or Bad romance from her. But she isn't. She's doing music she wants to do. Not music that others want her to do

How old is Gaga now? once she hits 30 she will be too old for them anyway. Beyoncé gets away with it for some reason but no other female artist is able to.

It's not a good song though. Sure, her fans probably love it, and I think the video is very typically Gaga - she puts a lot of effort into her videos, but the song itself is really bland. It's not got a hook, it's not catchy, it just sounds like a generic album track. Most of Artpop does.

I suspect they think (as I do) that she doesn't connect with youngsters anymore. She could get playlisted in following weeks anyway. If Heart latch onto the song R1 won't matter anyway... |

Funny how when the video premiered all her fans were like "BUT IT DOESNT IMPACT TIL APRIL GIVE IT A CHANCE" and now all of a sudden it's May?
I wonder if we'll get to Christmas time and it'll still be flopping, and her deluded fans will still be claiming that "it's coming, give it a chance" |

Curious, and a bit of topic...
If any song of an album can technically chart - surely that means GUY was available back in November when Artpop was released? So what's the benefit / logic behind "releasing" GUY in 6 weeks time? I just don't get it (or the charts TBH) |

I don't think Lady Gaga is really seen as very "cool" anymore, she was the in thing during The Fame/Fame Monster era (though I never got the appeal) but that's all long gone. A lot of casual music fans, even straight men, quite happily listened to Poker Face, Bad Romance and Just Dance, but I don't think a lot of these people would be caught dead buying or listening to her music nowadays. Someone like Rihanna has more of an edge to her, Gaga comes across as very camp and over-the-top, two things that turn a lot of people off, plus you can practically smell her desperation in interviews and on Twitter. Then there's the fact that she hyped herself up when in reality she's an average pop star with average pop songs. It's amazing to think that in five months Artpop hasn't even surpassed what BTW sold in one week in the UK.
