This would've been all averted if they just MOVED UP THE MUSIC VIDEO like any logical label would have, in addition to a LONGER RADIO DEAL.

They obviously though lt that an indie artist as successful as gaga could compete with the big times :derpga:

Applause is still the most viewed video worldwide/US this week  http://www.youtube.com/charts/videos_views?t=w&gl=US

There is one case of a a artist saving the radio deal for the 2nd single.

Rihanna didn't have one for WFL, but for the follow-up (which flopped).

After she released an obnoxious album, completely fell out of favor with the GP worse than Chris Brown, and hasn't been in the news in 2 years except for her broken hip? Jimmy Iovine, you dumbfuk.

Meanwhile, the Little Flopsters are hellbent on beating Katy in the STUPID fcuking Grammy poll that is COMPLETELY INCONSEQUENTIAL. like get your **** together and gift Applause on iTunes

:ohno: Fingers crossed that Roar is a frontloaded mess that falls off the charts as soon as the radio deal ends.  :ohno:

She's Lady Gaga... She doesnt have the general public appeal like Bruno Mars.

Which is exactly why she isn't going to sell 91k and over double that amount? It's just a rough first week...

Here in France radios can't play Applause a lot so they are re-airing old Gaga hits in amount (Bad Romance, Eh Eh, Telephone, Poker Face..) That's so frustrating 

What can't they play Applause?

I just dont get it.

 

If they thought the music video on the same day was necessary for her comeback without a leak, wouldnt it even be MORE imperative in the case of a leak? I dont get it

They probably didn't move the MV date up because of the GMA premiere. Also, she's more likely to get Vevo banners next week. If they moved it to this week she'd be competing with Katy's banners.

Applause will be fine! It was rush-released, for goodness sakes, and massive promo is coming next week.  Not to mention, Katy has a radio deal for the entire week.  Gaga doesn't.  And even when her radio deal is over, she'll have a massive drop due to the 8th day effect.

 

I'm not sure if it was mentioned before, but Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" had a disastrous first week selling only 91K. Everyone was calling him a "flop" etc.. but it went on to go number one and sell four million copies.

 

Patience, guys!

 

Thank you so much for this.

The song is dropping all over the world, but still #1 in 35 countries. I am just hoping the songs hold on long enough for Applause to officially be Billboard #1 on over 20 countries by next week.

They're probably not done editing it... The amount of post production that goes into music videos is extensive, especially if its a big budget affair, even working day and night it would still be impossible to release a week early. Especially considering that Inez and Vinoodh are working on almost every image of the album campaign.
