Robotboy 1,700 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 DWUW will be bigger than applause in the UK. with the video? it will remain very stable Remember that you are unique. Like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexxx 5,626 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think I would meltdown if she missed either to be honest but I feel like I'm being too optimistic by hoping for both... It would be the 4th Brit Awards she would have missed since her last appearance. :cry: Imagine how different things could have potentially been if she went to the 2011 Brit Awards and performed BTW. The single probably would have went to number 1, meaning the public wouldn't have been so "over" Gaga (when she didn't hit 1 with it, it made the whole era look like a mess from the beginning).

Freddy 4,421 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 DWUW would basicly be at 250k now if only it charted properly and did not ruined 3 weeks of sales in the top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just a random thought, but since the Xtina version is charting the highest, the OCC will credit it as 'ft. Xtina' when the reveal the chart, no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just a random thought, but since the Xtina version is charting the highest, the OCC will credit it as 'ft. Xtina' when the reveal the chart, no? I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe they will credit both since the R Kelly version has already been a decentsized hit?

craig 680 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 UK sales of Gaga's singles as a % of US sales shows quite a contrast between DWUW and Applause, but why? 41% MTN 32% Judas 29% DWUW 21% Telephone 21% TEOG 18% Alejandro 18% Bad Romance 18% Born This Way 17% Paparazzi 16% Poker Face 14% Just Dance 13% Applause 9% LoveGame 6% You & I Fascinating comparison. When you see Beyonce #9 UK but only #19 US, it could be US itunes buyers aren't here for R&B as much. Bey had similar singles problems with 4 in US, Since UK is into Xtina remix more, it seems to go beyond R Kelly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,830 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Dr. Luke confirmed that the Pitbull remix isn't coming. Here's the thread. But yeah, since she's set to perform at this year's BRITs, DH could likely end up as a top 10 hit at the least. The song has far better appeal than Unconditionally anyway. What gives me the feeling that she won't perform DH? I don't know, I'm picturing a Roar/Unco mash-up. Roar was her big smash, so it would make sense to perform it at the biggest awards show in the UK, thus extending its longevity. Performing WFL for the millionith time still provided Rihanna with a massive boost even after the single had been out for several months by that point. At the BRITS, artists tend to perform the biggest hits from their album, not new singles. Katy will obviously want to give Unco another push to make more of an impact over here. But will she risk it after the XF debacle? DH hasn't impacted whatsoever in the UK, so to perform it when it's so unknown could actually do more harm than good. It's still not officially been released as the next single yet and clearly has no video any time soon, so I really don't think performing it will do anything. It also doesn't seem like the sort of song that Britain could get behind either. We may be accepting urban a bit more again but we still haven't come round to trap music and certainly not Juicy J. If this song doesn't take off here, it's safe to assume that Katy's star is fading fast in the UK. That XF performance was a major turning point for her UK audience. If she fades after this, the timeline of her downfall will be traced back to that woeful performance and subsequent reaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If we counted DWUW's first 3 weeks of illegibility, it has already outsold Applause, and it's still Top 10 selling ~20k per week. I'd say it might end up with ~400k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeKingOfGGD 1,998 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 When are the brits and when are the grammys? So glad DWUW is doing well in my country :P i love the UK sometimes :D Everyone loves DWUW :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 So on the new R1 playlist they added XO even though Drunk In Love is top ten on iTunes. Unconditionally is still A-Listed despite the fact it's about to drop out of the top 40. DWUW is #9 combined on iTunes but obviously won't be coming back anytime soon.
