When you have a cryptogram problem, how do you start?

for the one in this tournament, i started by wondering why there was a 2 in it. then i looked at the clues given... it told us that it was a song. so i wondered what had a 2 in it, so i tried Dance2, which was right. Then went from there... at first, i thought the artist was ASK, but it was SGX. i don't know... i just see it. i'm good at cryptograms. been solving them in the newspaper for years.
for the ones in the papers, i look for obvious words. 2 letter words, 1 letter words, words that could be THE or AND... stuff like that. it's really hard to solve them without being able to get information from that type of in-puzzle clue. stuff like VFD and VFEV, with lots of Vs and Ds in the puzzle, likely multiple VFDs... almost always will be THE and THAT. from there, it's vocab and a bit of trial and error.

Yeah... the 2 should have been your starting point.
