Spanish Eyes 2,041 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Don't diss the song, people. Applause is pop gold. The issue is US radio. I don't understand why they're so determined to push Katy over Gaga. I really don't understand why Gaga is so slow on radio, either. She's stayed in the iTunes top 10 since she debuted, she delivered a VMA performance that received very good reviews, and she released a video that was on par with her TFM output. There is no reason to ignore this song on US radio. It has proven itself as a viable pop smash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaMyBlood95 9,808 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Radio will catch up eventually. I'm so happy the song is #3. That's really amazing considering she's coming back from a 2 year blackout and the competition is really deadly. exactly! If radio supported Gaga the way they support Katy right now, she would be even bigger! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 i can't at US. People like the song, she's doing well constantly on i tunes, so why the f..k radios don't play the song? She's doing well on i tunes, but radios are damaging the song so much! International fans gonna remember that US radio just is SLOW with most songs. I suspect most countries are like UK, where Applause has been #12 on radio for several days. In US, even Katy isn't top 10 on pop yet. Look how many months it took many current top radio songs to peak. http://kworb.net/radio/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Lot of stations only play proven hits and may not playlist any songs the first month they come out. That's why even Blurred Lines was still getting adds 6 or 8 weeks after it made #1. They aren't in the business of being "early adopters" - people who want new music have the internet now.

JPM 781 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes, radio plays it safe, But Applause is a slow burner, they will dig it eventually + Katy had a deal or something and then they kept playing her song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Eyes 2,041 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Can we talk about this, though? Why is she slowing down already? I'm not melting down, I'm not being negative. I'm legitimately curious. What are stations seeing in her high AI/spins ratio that could possibly make them think, "Nah...better not spin this one more. People are listening to it, and we get ad revenue from that, so let's stop." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
