Creyk 17,826 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This is so shocking because applause is like a 9/10 song while DWUW is like a 2/10, plus it also doesn't have a music video. Like what even From the Gaga charts discussion thread: Applause U.K: 330,000 Sweden: 80,000 Germany: 75,000 France: 65,000 Denmark: 30,000 Italy: 30,000 New Zealand: 10,000Total: 590, 000 Do What You Want U.K: 400,000 Sweden: 40,000 Germany: 60,000 France: 50,000 Denmark: 30,000 Italy: 30,000 New Zealand: 5,000 Total: 615, 000 At least it's not a big difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah 26,979 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 DWUW is a trendsetter. LMH, Style, Jealous... the list goes on. ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGC 226 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 With applause, Gaga played it safe. While DWUW is a powerful song and it anticipated a trend which exploded in 2014/2015. It' s a shame it has been left to its destiny because of Gaga blackout. She could have kept it simple, make another video a LA TEOG and save ARTPOP. That song was bound to be a success and it did, partially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashellartfunk 292 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Because it's [could-have-been] one of the most successful singles of her career. Especially in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illuminati 15,942 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Because Europeans have good sense of music and know that DWUW is superior when compared to Applause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopThatArt 2,193 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It doesn't mean it's a better song or that it's good. And Gaga most often sells more outside of America. Go see A Star is Born Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Child 18,997 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Do What U Want is the best song of the album, it should have been the lead! Don't you dare saying it's a 2/10, it's a 20/20! The GP clearly loved it more than Applause. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBEY 57,109 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 DWUW is more "mainstream" than Applause. Peaked at #3 on the Canadian hot 100 without a video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure she could have come up with something if she tried, even a simple video of her dancing around in no make-up would have helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, if gaga made a simple video without the rape innuendos, it would have saved the era a bit. Like, idk, keep on being naked in paper journals if that's what you want.
