Billboard: 'Applause' to debut with 200k in US (Current: #3 - iTunes)

[Americano 31,061]

 

Katy Perry's new song "Roar" is off to a roaring sales start, with industry forecasters suggesting it will move around 450,000 downloads by the end of the tracking week on Sunday (Aug. 18).

 

Meanwhile, fellow diva Lady Gaga is also off to a handsome launch with her new single "Applause." It's heading for a bow of perhaps 200,000 to 225,000 downloads.
 
Gaga's last studio album, 2011's "Born This Way," was led by its title track, which debuted at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart with 448,000 downloads after only three days on sale, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (It hit retail on an off-cycle Friday, instead of the usual Tuesday.) In its second chart week (and first full sales week), it moved 509,000 downloads.

Not worried yet. Real numbers will be sales week post-VMAs. That's when I'll start to care
