Americano 31,061 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Fun Fact: In the US, Applause's 5th week of digital sales of 184,000 were bigger than Born This Way's sales of 176,000. Do you think Applause is just connecting better, or is it luck? Discuss. :nails: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenEyes 684 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Applause is doing a lot better then people thought in the first few weeks, it is just a grower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagz 2,572 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 But it's not higher on the charts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glow 0 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 How do you connect better than BTW tho. it's self empowerment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire 0 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Well BTW had like a million sales in one week, so it died down more. Applause is still building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainiac 10,601 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I definitely don't think it's luck. The song is just better than Born This Way and people are more quick to purchase it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaga is Life 101 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Applause seems to grow on people which equals longevity I think. Born This Way seemed to die down pretty quickly once it started to lose popularity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuhrerOfTime 0 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 People are over the initialness of Roar and enjoying APPLAUSE and Gag's return Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy 5,686 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 How do you connect better than BTW tho. it's self empowerment. Just in terms of charts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glow 0 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Just in terms of charts ohhh okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist 0 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I think it's because BTW was so front-loaded that it exploded when it came out and then rapidly declined. Applause on the other hand has been stable for the past 5 weeks :clap: which is awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Meister 3,000 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Didnt Born This Well sell 1 million at its first week? Applause has been out for 5 and its not even there yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,847 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I said from the beginning that "Applause" wouldn't be a runaway hit, but that it would likely have better longevity -- which, in the long run, is better. It's definitely a grower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmar 22,037 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hah, interesting to see. Applause is already doing very well for a VEVO vid of Gaga's too; it's already the #2 most liked vid of hers and is past Marry the Night. Wait, scratch that last part, that isn't hard to do. 俺の勝利は揺るぎない Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
