Paper Gangsta 6,692 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So i always thought that GP were probably confused because they maybe thought tay cant buy only applause without pr-ordering. I always thought i was probably wrong but now when Katy and Miley both replaced single version with preorder they are struggling to reenter top100, i started to question myself. Sorry if question is stupid xD Also if you think it did have negative efect, also tell us what do you think how would it chart if there was "Applause - Single" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie 4 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think putting at out as a standalone track would have been better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOTRODSGAGA 81 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 idk why they put singles in preorders anyway. to push album sales? excuse me but 75% of album sales are physical so pls dont make single sales a mess with ur stupid tactics.  I'm still fuming at how BB did not count the copies of applause sold with the preorders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alijandro 9 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The amount extra she made from preorders probably wayyy exceeds any lost single sales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotboy 1,700 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 maybe. but more people preordered the album didnt they? (i dont use itunes) Remember that you are unique. Like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTRODSGAGA 81 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wait. What?!  the singles sold with the preorder are not counted on itunes' top100 chart/kworb. Normally, Billboard uses these sales for their charts (happened with madonna, jt, kesha and others) but this time, with gaga they decided not to. biased hoes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
