chris777 112 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 At least the snippet that leak is not too easy to find. I find it in 3 secs. lol and both parts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bt1 5,213 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 This tiny snippet cant do any damage. The problem is if they release the full final version. On the Applause thread someone said that it leak in full, but they removed fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I agree that this can be very damaging for Applause but It also can be good.. If she debutes at number 1 against Katy and If they somehow finish the video this week and release It even If It's only 3-4 days of streaming It will still be a lot and can push the song to the top ... And Katy will debute at number 3 ? Or maybe It shouldn't leak ? But I can't see how It won't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I wont listen to it though, unless it leaks fully. It is just it is hard to judge a song via snippet. Remember when people were praising Roar just by listening d snippet of it? lol. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy8923 9 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The problem isn't even the leaking of the song but her team moving up the release to Monday the 12th. EVERYTHING has been planned around the 19th of August and I fervently believe that it should remain that way regardless of a leak or not. Fans will still buy it, radio will still play it, and people will still stream it even if it leaks early. NEVER RUSH RELEASE. It just ends up in disaster. Especially with a big artist like KP releasing the same day [not that she's a threat, but Gaga SHOULD have her time to shine, as should Katy]. Gaga as usual is overreacting, so I can imagine they'll take the wrong route again and release it earlier. As they did with Judas. Which literally leaked like 3 days before it was supposed to come out. They could of waited till the actual release and they DIDN'T and look how that turned out. So, yeah, I think all is good as long as the release date remains as scheduled! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Katy also, she is loosing 2 whole days of sells with her leak ! Katy doesn't care about "on air on sale." It's not being released in UK until Sept 9. Rihanna released We Found Love about a month later in UK too, and it smashed. Nobody should let a leak mess up a carefully crafted timetable and strategy.

Ozzy8923 9 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 God knows it might of actually been someone from Gaga's team who did it to upstage Katy. I swear some things are just too damn precise to be coincidental. They must be following each other. Interscope is onto Katy and Capitol is onto Gaga. Some weird ass ****.

Jake 0 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I hope that they don't release it earlier, but the snippet of Applause sounds much stronger to me than Roar. I know many Monsters like Gaga's experimental music but I LOVE the hook of that leak. It sounds like a big, fat hit to me. She does not need to release any other day than the 19th though. Would she even have a radio deal if Katy's is already in effect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin 6 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 At least the snippet that leak is not too easy to find. It's already disappearing from Gagadaily.com ! (haven't heard it and don't want to). Was is scaring me is that the release plan was so carefully crafted that a leak could destroy all of that. If she rush releases it this monday she will go face to face with Katy and Blurred Lines is still big. The plan was to release the video at the same time and build a giant hype next week, with a leak, everything is destroyed. This could be really damaging. I am really scared. Katy also, she is loosing 2 whole days of sells with her leak ! The way that it is right now is perfect, hopefully it stays like that. Katy has an extra two days to surpass Blurred Lines and push it back into a comfortable Top 5 spot, along with We Can't Stop. Then, with increased hype and craze due to the snippets, Applause can come along on the 19th and obliterate (at least for a day), with video views, airplay and sales. #1's for all!

Ozzy8923 9 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 But now there are 9 days. Streaming coming from curiosity, if it leaks in full and they pretend that it didnt, will not happen anymore. maybe but its 9 DAYS and media will spread it. radio will play it.. That still won't have a HEAVY effect on the release week. It will have a radio deal, so if radio plays the full leak before it's out, that doesn't matter since it will have a deal. Even if some people overplay it before the release date and get bored of it and don't stream it on the release week, the video will compensate for that because they WILL watch the video and a video tends to help people like a song more so that should also help anyone who overplayed the full leak like it again. And sales are just guaranteed based on the sheer size of Gaga's fan base. Alas AUGUST 19TH OR BUST. That's the way I see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Reporting leaks won't do crap, just stop. Once a leak is out, it's out. If it's going to be a hit, it will be a hit. It doesn't matter what day it's dropped. No one seems to get that. The public doesn't go "Oh it didn't go #1 first week, I hate this song." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Lam 597 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 At the end of the day, if APPLAUSE is Poker Face/Bad Romance hit worthy, it will still smash. Gaga relies way too much about promotion and marketing sometimes and if the songs end up being actually really good, there's a little need for promotion. The things is that Interscope build this huge anticipation plan : Russia attack The naked video Magazine covers Lyrics released Burqua possible leaks Promotional image Twitter activity This is all carefully released one after the other and I believe it would have continued until the 19th. A leaks destroy everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
