Gagz 2,580 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Applause was blocked by Roar.It would definitely hit #1 if Roar wasn't released at the same day Then why wasn't Applause #2? Roar wasnt 1-3. :lollipop: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 But it peaked at #4 not #2, even without Roar it would have been blocked be Blurred Lines, Royals, Wrecking Ball.. Then why wasn't Applause #2? Roar wasnt 1-3. :lollipop: You don't even know what you are talking about tho.. If Applause was a standalone single it would get MUCH more attention so it would get way better sales anyway.It's not just that Roar sold more .Educate yourselfs :toofloppy: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XoXoJoanneGaga 629 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You don't even know what you are talking about tho.. If Applause was a standalone single it would get MUCH more attention so it would get way better sales anyway.It's not just that Roar sold more .Educate yourselfs :toofloppy: Roar sold 557,000 first week (more than twice what Applause sold) and it still premiered at #2, Blurred Lines was too massive. It climbed to #1 later due to massive airplay and streaming. Gaga doesn't have that kind of radio or streaming power, even if Roar hadn't been released at the time she was never going to come close to Blurred Lines, Royals, or Wrecking Ball which were all monster hits. Educate yourself indeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate yourself indeed Huh? If Roar wasn't released this week .Applause would have sold over 350.000 and it would do even better the next week with the performance.. If not #1 at least #2. Wreckingball became a hit in September,Royals became a hit in September-Octomber too (in US). So I don't even know what you are talking about Only Blurred Lines could block Applause from going #1 but maybe not even this .So again Educate yourself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't even know what you are talking about Only Blurred Lines could block Applause from going #1 but maybe not even this .So again Educate yourself Are you a psychic You even got her numbers if Roar hadn't been released? It wouldn't have gone #1 either way. Roar didn't have an immense impact on Applause that's delusional The fact the not 1 but 3 songs were ahead of her says something. Also, sure, if Roar wasn't there, she would've been higher. But there will always be competition either way so it's not fair to say "if" that song hadn't been there.

Paper Gangsta 6,693 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Applause was blocked by Roar.It would definitely hit #1 if Roar wasn't released at the same day Exactly What about two other songs that were above it Huh? If Roar wasn't released this week .Applause would have sold over 350.000 and it would do even better the next week with the performance.. If not #1 at least #2. Wreckingball became a hit in September,Royals became a hit in September-Octomber too (in US). So I don't even know what you are talking about Only Blurred Lines could block Applause from going #1 but maybe not even this .So again Educate yourself it's not like people didn't buy applause just because Roar was released Applause wouldn't sell anything more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't even know what you are talking about Only Blurred Lines could block Applause from going #1 but maybe not even this .So again Educate yourself Royals and Wrecking Ball smashed in August, that's why Applause never got to the top 3 cause there were four huge song consistently ahead of her, plus other bigger hits like Hold On We're Going Home and Holy Grail. My point was that if Roar couldn't hit #1 with a sales week of 557k, Applause was never going to come close, because Katy has more radio and streaming power than Gaga to begin with. Anyway, she can get another #1 for sure, but she needs to come with something really amazing and fresh, and not release in the middle of the summer when all the biggest songs of the year are at their peaks.

Optimus 298 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If she continues with her off putting 'Look me I'm an artisté' attitude she will never have a #1 song again. If she writes a good pop song with relatable lyrics then who knows, maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
