Applause is doing good given the circumstances, in some regions she gets only green updates, while Katy gets only red. In some countries like Canada both songs decline. BL and WMU are really in the competition + Burn in the UK.

Just when we thought Applause was a total flop, it might be opening with 400k next week, it won't top Roar these days, but given the planned promo it might during the following weeks after the VMAs. The song is a grower + half of the world isn't aware of its existence. Also, Gaga's radio deal starts on aug. 20. It all depends on the radio.

Yeah, but are you sure though?

It's not doing quite as badly as people are making out. It's decline on itunes started a lot faster than anyone would have thought, but it's also a relatively slow decline. She's still #2. Gaga still has at least 2 large promo opportunities coming up over the next couple of weeks, with the video coming out in a matter of days and the VMA's the week after.

 

I think there's still a lot of room for growth. There's no way that Applause will be an instant number 1, and it probably won't be the be the biggest hit of Gaga's career - but I'm sure that it'll be a decent hit, and I'm even more sure that the second single will be even better.

Yes, it's not exactly a deal, um, the song will be officially added to radio stations on Aug 20. Just as planned. They may be playing the song but it's not the official thing, yet.

does anyone know if ARTPOP preorders count to official chart in the other countries? cuz then she will most likely block katy in every single country :P

Remember that you are unique. Like everyone else.

We also need to remind ourselves that Gaga is coming back after an extremely unsuccessful single era after the MTN fiasco.

:yes:

 

The song is predicted to debut with over 400k copies in its first week, its amazing give the circumstances. It may never reach #1 but it may sell like BR and it's a grower. Ppl appreciate it more after a few spins, so radio really needs to play it.

Yeah I looked up and the official add date is the 20th. It's not a radio deal. But it could help the song a little bit more
