PeterPan 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I really do think BL will block Katy. She's selling a lot, but not enough for #1. How mnany has BL sold? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingMore 1,701 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Luke Bryan is not that far away at #4. Gaga will be #3 tonight. If she continues decreasing like this, she be at #4 tomorrow night or even sooner :giveup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Eyes 2,279 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 In the heat of all this numerical warfare, I'm reminded of why I love Gaga in the first place. I never even cared or knew what a chart was until Bad Romance was cockblocked 4 years ago. Charts, awards, reviews, these are all second. The most important thing is the feeling we get from the music. Applause has made me dance like crazy these past few days, and it is very interesting from a production standpoint. Those synths in the chorus are spectacular. I guess what I'm getting at is that, while the charts are fun, we can't let them rule our perception of Gaga (or music as a whole). ****tons of number one hits from the past are NEVER remembered today, but there are tons of lukewarm songs that we now consider highly influential. tl;dr regardless of Gaga's chart performance (which is still way too early to project), we need to keep in mind what it means to be an artist.

AURA 2,890 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'd rather have Katy #1 in the HOT100 than having Robin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomethingMore 1,701 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 4.9m increase in audience impressions is not a flop... Didn't she only get like 3.8m yesterday? She had 5.4m yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyrain 38 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 What do you mean by this? You don't even know me irl? Sorry I was so angry because Gags is flopping (YES SHE IS NOT FLOPPING IN GENERAL BUT STILL IT IS A FLOP FOR HER) I just had to mess with someone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 How mnany has BL sold? He's around 275K, but his airplay is what is killing it. Someone on ATRL predicted Roar/Applause would need to sell over 625K to be #1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris777 112 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well JT had a ****ty lead-single which peaked at #3, after 6 years of absence from music. Look at his album sales If Selena, Demi and Miley's lead-singles perform better than Applause Gaga is not Timberlake. Radio won't play her songs that much. 2.

SomethingMore 1,701 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 American monsters should be ashamed. I agree. Lets say 50k who bought the song are GP which means only 175k monsters bought it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorPrince 1 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 450K isnt that much tho. I'd expect more but she is slowing down. Hopefully with the pre-orders Gaga can do 300K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 He's around 275K, but his airplay is what is killing it. Someone on ATRL predicted Roar/Applause would need to sell over 625K to be #1. If hes sold 275k and Gaga has sold less than that then why is he not #2 on the chart? This is so confusing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcticmonkey 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 "Gaga can go very far on the enthusiasm of her enormous cult audience – truly, second place ain’t bad – but this impromptu chart showdown is a sign that she may have completely lost her grasp on casual mainstream fans." Gags really has to do something 'bout that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math 92 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 idk but... everytime I listen to Applause it sounds so great and fresh and catchy and brilliant. it's not even a hit yet but clearly sounds like one to me already. not saying it's comparable to Bad Romance because it isn't. but it's nearly the same vibe I felt back in October, 2009. and that's keeping me out from having a meltdown, tbh. I'm just praying she slays with that video and VMA promo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad 32 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If hes sold 275k and Gaga has sold less than that then why is he not #2 on the chart? He has sales from Monday. Applause went on sale Tuesday so he has an extra day over Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
