that's not a flop, but not her best single ever... I hope next single will be more radio-friendly and won't leak of course

She's at #9 in Australia now! She's rising ever so slowly. But she was at #14 a few days ago. Australians: keep requesting, playing it to friends!

ok so now Katy is about to return #1 as Eminem is still dipping (deep red for a long time now)

 

Gaga and Miley are up.

 

I'm pretty sure Applause would have been #3 if Eminem woul not have entered in the game... Now he is about to sink, Gaga has her chance

how is this song not radio friendly exactly? 

It is, but not as much as many of her singles have been. Musically, it's pretty radio friendly except that its chorus, while very catchy, doesn't have that big, sing along feel that tends to catch fire on radio (and that is typical of most Gaga singles).

 

Lyrically, though, it's not all that radio friendly. Radio, particularly top 40, likes songs about s-x, love, partying, and self-empowerment. Practically every big radio hit is about one of those things. 'Applause' has great lyrics, but they don't have that mindless and familiar vibe that radio tends to embrace.

It is of course but not enough for the GP. 

As Gaga's fans we listen to it a lot so we are able to retain the lyrics and rythm, but for someone who is not a fan the song is quite hard to remember or to sing along. That's not a song like Bad Romance, Just Dance, Poker Face, Telephone, BTW or Alejandro which are easy to remember

I believe Gaga is throwing caution to the wind in this era and is concentrating on her art rather than what may play to the GP.  I applaud her for being true to her creative vision.

I live outside the space time continuum.
