US Charts Discussion - Applause: 200K+ projection (Week 1)

[Klou 2,414]

I don't think Gaga would have said that unless there was some payola/radio promotion in the works.

I think she's simply thanking radio stations so they will hopefully start adding more spins.

[Paper Gangsta 6,693]

The damage control in full force.

How is sending song to radio damage control 

[CoolTrainerTerry 1,402]

This is just...I have no words.

no.

The sad part of Gaga's tweet is you can just feel the damage control and/or panic coming from her team.

Although I agree in a way, it was also a response to the fans freaking out.

[GGC 0]

You guys need to stop   This is an incredible number for a single that literally came out of nowhere after being leaked. It's obviously not going to top Roar when it doesn't have a radio deal until the 19th (as confirmed by Gaga). You can't always expect Gaga to top herself. "Bad Romance" opened w/ 142k & went #2 yet it's her biggest and most iconic song. Stop whining and get over it. Next week she'll be on top, just don't get your panties in a wad.

Which must be saddening for Gaga.

 

I just hope this video stabilizes the song and it becomes a decent hit, I know Gaga is probably horrified at how dramatic this is for her fans right now since she wanted this period in her career to end (in terms of meltdowns etc)

[Mills 446]

With these numbers, she certainly lost a lot of the casual mainstream fans, way more than I previously thought.

The need for her to tweet could be widely considered as damage control, especially after the sales projections were released all over the media. 

[Ozzy8923 9]

This is quite sad to watch, really.

I've been saying this in chat, maybe not much here, it's gonna take time for her to gain that back. I really think she needs a big video to try to capture their attention again. A song alone won't do that.

Can we never speak of this again, or it's video... :dead:

[CoolTrainerTerry 1,402]

I hate imagining how things would have been if everything had gone as planned.
