Hypocrateen 107 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I thought it was gonna broke Tik Tok's record. How desilusional we were if only she didn't rush released it Doubt something would have changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURA 2,890 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Gaga NEEDS the radio too if she's going to be queen of pop. Can't sustain a career just on massive first week fanbase sales. That's Belieber territory. She never really had the radio like KP or Rih tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypocrateen 107 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The fanbase is really in a huge state of panic right now Nope, only the charts-obsessed like us. The rest of them are thinking that it's doing good (well, it is..if we put it that way..) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Aren't pop single sales declining in general, anyway? 450K seems low for Katy with a week long radio deal. Music will be moving to a subscription model anyway in a decade or so. It's slow but the trend has started. 450k today is probably worth 10-20-30 more a couple years back.

PeterPan 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think after the next two weeks when Appause starts rising people will be in here saying oh i knew it would be a hit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzxyyxzx 116 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 ...Thar's why it has 10m views in 2 days I can barely remember that song we're literally holding this song at #2, the gp seem totally oblivious that it even exist as does radio... Gaga needs to get on her grind and make that booty clap :bunny: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchetslut 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 American monsters should be ashamed.girrrrrl, don't come for me! I've bought the song 3x and gifted it 12x! My stan game is on point this era. 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 someoneI feel your pain! I forgive you This is a rough time for this whole fanbase (what's left of it ) "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. Putting the "Little" in Little Monsters, no doubt 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. Which is why it's so frustrating to see it underperform! For me it goes like this: Bad Romance Applause = Poker Face Just Dance Born This Way Everyone saying that we have to wait for the video and promotion. Born This Way didn't get a video in its first week nor promo (well the Grammys were in its last day, doubt more than 50k downloads happened after the grammy performance that day), yet it managed to crack 440k downloads in THREE DAYS. We're dealing now with SIX DAYS and a number that's 2x less - 200/225k. If you still think it's not that bad, then I have to learn to be delusional. Sure, the rush-release has its effect but that shouldn't make an excuse for such low sales. Also, you guys have to keep in mind that she doesn't have the streaming power she used to have. Besides Judas, most of BTW's era videos flopped in YouTube charts. That might be a problem too now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyrain 38 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I thought it was gonna broke Tik Tok's record. How desilusional we were if only she didn't rush released it NOW! We both know if it wasn't rush released it still wouldn't be able to broke records...I just I mean ... just ... . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit the frog 1,921 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I thought it was gonna broke Tik Tok's record. How desilusional we were if only she didn't rush released it The rush release has almost nothing to do with it. BTW was released earlier too. It's the hype. People dont even know she has a new song out. Let it grow, guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceminay 1,034 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 It's so funny to see everyone freak out. I can't wait to see you guys when the song becomes huge on the radio and gets good sales in less than a month. No seriously, you want longevity but then again you want the radio deal to kick in? That's not how you get a hit, instead in looking at iTunes look at her radio updates, THAT's how she's gonna sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 She never really had the radio like KP or Rih tho She doesn't have as much multi-format potential, but she at least needs pop to heavily play 2 or 3 singles per era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchetslut 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The fanbase is really in a huge state of panic right now The meltdowns are worse than Xmas/New Years, tbh Rihanna never debuts with more than 200k and her songs make it to #1. We still have a chance! Yeah but the difference is that Radio and the GP are here for badgalriri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
