AlienFugitive 1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Applause didn't actually have to grow on me. It was a bop from the first time I heard it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy8923 9 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Well, I see the single is off to a good start. 218K is a solid amount! Good debut sales and a good position. So close to Top 5, though. Ah well, I bet she'll rise into the Top 5 next week, MAYBE top 3 if things go really well. Oh, and I was right that it would debut between #6-#8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4bty 2,758 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I still think that it's very funny how no one thought Katy would be a threat to Gaga's lead-single, besides chris. After hearing for the first time Roar I thought it's gonna underperform, tbh. It doesn't show any evolution from her past music, but it smashes. I guess that it's the fact that this song is so generic that you literally cannot dislike it. Very interesting... I actually think Roar is a step back from Teenage Dream, lol. Everything about it is generic - the beat, the production, the lyrics, the message. It's all been done to death in the past few years. But apparently, it's exactly what the GP want to hear. I'm hoping the rolling effect is about over so we can get back to those big radio updates tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I think that Hair could've done great if it was released in the end. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5660927/robin-thicke-no-1-katy-perry-no-2-on-hot-100 Took me ages to find full billboard article. Looks like Streaming makes it harder to debut on top. People stream songs on spotify etc thast are big on radio. How far does Gaga have to go to make #3? Those 3 dongs ahead don't have huge sales.

nick4bty 2,758 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Applause should be able to rise to #4 next week, based on streaming and sales (and higher airplay). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InGagzWeTrust 0 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I just don't get it... Katy played the dramaqueen saying she was over the 'sweet music' then she comes up with that plain song that looks more like a TD b-side and everybody buys it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad 32 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Someone on Pulse Music forums calculated the chart points with an estimated formula of the hot 100: 1. Robin Thicke ft. T.I. & Pharrell - Blurred Lines (291/12 - 228.9/7.5 - 6600/450): 69.43666667 chart points 2. Katy Perry - Roar (557/12 - 63/7.5 - 3800/450): 63.26111111 chart points 3. Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop (148/12 - 51/7.5 - 6900/450): 34.46666667 chart points 4. Imagine Dragons - Radioactive (121/12 - 119/7.5 - streaming is anywhere between 0 and 1,695,000 to maintain #4 position): 30.52222223 - 34.46666666 chart points 5. Jay-Z ft. Justin Timberlake - Holy Grail (178/12 - 71/7.5 - 2800/450): 30.52222222 chart points6. Lady Gaga - Applause (218/12 - 31/7.5 - 2900/450): 28.74444444 chart points #3-6 aren't that far off but there's a huge gap between #3 and #2. I think #3 is the most realistic peak for Applause at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 wtf is happening with Applause....was that the effect the video had 2 day in the top 5 idk right what will happen with this song....some miracle has to happen and I'm starting to fear that the VMA's wont have such a big push on that song and again GAGA & Jimmy W.T.A.F. how could u choose a song that wasn't even going to make the final cut for lead single after 2 years of no new material ..... let's just pray that something will happen to make the song hit It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy8923 9 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Also, Katy and Britney will ALSO go head-to-head on Sep. 17 with Britney releasing a new lead single and Katy releasing a new PROMO single for Prism. Place your bets! I say that Katy will do around 150K-200K and Britney around 250K-300K if everything goes smoothly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 At No. 3 is the second debut of the week: Lady Gaga arrives with "Applause." It sold 218,000 downloads in its opening frame and marks her 13th top 10 hit on the Digital Songs chart. It's her best sales week since "The Edge of Glory" debuted with 266,000 downloads at No. 2 on the May 28, 2011, chart. That's actually a fairer comparison than BTW vs Applause. (not much promo.) Suggests a decline of about 20%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
