Born To Slay 10,996 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If the song was debuted at the VMAs, the m/v released the next day on GMA and the song had a big radio deal? Applause would've debuted at number one on both the digital and streaming charts. I think it would've been enough to go number one on the hot 100.

FameHookah 4,608 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 She did the best she could, the issue was the other 3 songs on the top 5 , they were bigger and viral. WTF is MDNA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 55,929 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I read something somewhere about Applause's debut. Like the pre-orders of the song didn't count as sales or something and otherwise would have peaked higher or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDi 1,495 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I actually don't think this is the most pointless question ever because everyone was shocked Gaga didn't debut at number one and it was how the whole Gaga is officially a flop trend started. her only truly impactful chart position imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 11,853 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It would have probably gone #1 if it hadn't leaked and they forced the early release of it. That's really what put the nail in its #1 chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
homomo 23,883 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Blurred Lines, Royals, and Roar were massive. Maybe she could have been #1 for one week; however, if she pushed all that promo during the first week, her second week would be a massive drop, most likely pushing her out of the top 10. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you put all three of those within the same week, the song wouldn't have had longevity. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloody g 31,746 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yes. But it could have also had dropped way earlier, and instead we got a longetivity hit, we will never know now 『𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝』 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
