Confirmed by Gaga on Twitter
@ladygaga: However we are overwhelmed by the worldwide response + excitement for DO WHAT U WANT feat. R KELLY & are happy to announce it as 2nd Single!
@ladygaga: Don't worry monsters! We are still scheduled to release #Venus this Monday with a snippet on Friday! AND it will STILL have its own video!

I knew that was going to happen after I saw it go to #1 on iTunes, and I gotta say, that was very smart of Gaga and her team.

Yeah, I don't think this is surprising to anyone, considering its performance on iTunes. I'm guessing it's going to be an all-around smash, probably even bigger than 'Applause'. This is one of the first songs of hers that I can remember receiving a near-unanimous positive reaction.

Very smart on her team's part. Not do what U want..... Do what the public wants.

The single is catchy and very different from her other songs. Smart decision. I think this is going to smash

Smart move. This song is exactly what she needs at this point. And the lyrics we saw from "Venus" looked terrible.

So are they going to rush-release this to radio now? They should capitalize on it since the album release is around the corner.

This era feels so messy lol. However, it did get amazing feedback, it is one of her catchiest recent songs, and I also think it may have a chance of getting play on certain formats that have frozen her out otherwise. I can also imagine like...the hottest video ever for it. Oh God, she better not make some pretentious weird artsy video. I need a hot video

Releasing this as a single will be a nice change of pace for her without being too much of a diversion.

So what is she performing on X Factor? Is it too late to switch out Venus for this?

If they have a few days I am assuming they will switch it. It wouldn't be that hard unless she had some sort of extensive set built just for the Venus performance (which, knowing Gaga she might).

My issue is: Does her team know "Do What U Want" is #1 on US iTunes because of the album pre-orders?
"Royals" is already 0.75 behind it and the gap is rapidly decreasing. And we know that the rolling period on Kworb's site is about 48 hours.

It's a little messy and the iTunes situation makes me nervous but the track is great and people *are* reacting very positively to it. It could be a shitshow if people respond well to "Venus" next week.
Hopefully she'll be able to perform this at X Faxtor and YouTube awards. That was one thing that made the TEOG months a little rough - seemed like the video and performances were hurt because they weren't planning on it being a single (at least so early). The video for this better be amazing.
