While considered an excellent album, it yielded 0.0 hits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_(Velvet_Underground_album)
wiki -- When asked about the shortened versions of "Sweet Jane" and "New Age" and Reed's long-standing claims that they were re-edited without his consent, Yule claimed that Reed had in fact edited the songs himself. "He edited it. You have to understand at the time, the motivation was... Lou was, and all of us were, intent on one thing and that was to be successful and what you had to do to be successful in music, was you had to have a hit, and a hit had to be uptempo, short, and with no digressions, straight ahead basically, you wanted a hook and something to feed the hook and that was it. 'Sweet Jane' was arranged just exactly the way it is on the original Loaded release exactly for that reason—to be a hit! 'Who Loves The Sun' was done exactly that way for that reason—to be a hit."

Ahead of their time I guess, now pop/rock/rnb music just cuts the verse out and just craps out chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus (or bridge-bridge-bridge-bridge for the bolder artists).
