Don't worry about the UK chart, it works in weird ways, some how miley cyrus debuted awfully In the UK as she's not really that liked here by many of the UK music buyers. However randomly and unbelievably the song just blew up one day and became number one. There's alot of UK monster fans, she may not get a number one but I can see her getting a #3 / #4. British acts tend to get number ones, we have weird number ones in our country!

Miley debuted at #1 on the UK singles chart with sales of 128,000 copies. That's hardly an awful debut.

We don't really have "weird number ones" in the UK, at least no weirder than what tops the charts in other countries like the US, Canada, Australia, etc. A lot of the songs that hit #1 or chart inside the top 10 in the UK are usually songs that have also topped the charts or have charted inside the top 10 in other countries around the world (Robin Thicke, Avicii, Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, will.i.am). Over half of the songs that have hit #1 in the UK this year have either been from American or European (non-UK) artists.

 

As for Gaga, she needs to head over to the UK and promote. 'Judas' was flopping until she performed it on British TV. I doubt 'Applause' is going to hit #1 but it could very well peak a little higher than #5 or at at least remain inside the top 10 for a few more weeks. The music video certainly isn't having much of an effect on the song as it's still #9 on iTunes. If the second single from ARTPOP fails to hit #1 or chart inside the top 3 then it's pretty obvious the interest in her in the UK has waned considerably. That will be the real telling. Let's just see.

Last era her top song peaks were #3 and #6, so we can't say "interest has waned considerably" is she gets about the same.

Especially if she doesn't release songs and do promo in a way that's timed to maximize chart peaks.

This is what we need to be actively considering - for the song to be in the top 10 on itunes but barely top 20 for radio and top 40 for tv is astounding
