Arturo 40,746 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The thing that is also hurting Applause is that sales are just so low for singles during Q4. During Q3, sometimes the Top 14 digital songs were selling over 100k. I'm curious. What are Roar's non-US sales? Thanks. Like over 2M for sure lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take longer than normal to hit the 1 million mark. I hope people have been listening to us when we talk about airplay and sales during the holiday season. No one should be getting surprised lol.

By Christmas week, sales should be pretty good and then once Q1 starts, hopefully Venus is still going strong. I'm glad she's saved a bunch of promo for Venus. It's going to need it!

MANiCURE1295 8,673 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Roar is just a huge hit, but Katy has for sure had her "average" hits on her scale songs like TOTGA, LFM, and TD are average sized hits for her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFN and TD average sized hits Um I'd say Waking Up in Vegas, The One That Got Away, and Part of Me were average...for her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope she can pull through or be the one single that defies the holiday season slowdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The good thing is the single is coming the last week of October. That's much better than a mid-November release like MTN. Songs from October are still going strong in December. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why I said LFN and TD are because ET, Firework, California Gurls and Roar are such huge hits for her and I feel like those other Teenage Dreams are so small compared to them, therefore average...

Alchemist 0 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What's the reason for sales + radio being low in the holiday season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodo 313 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 i really have a good feeling with Venus. It seems more relatable (i know people hate that word) + Applause was gaga's big test to the GP, it caught the attention of many and made people fall for her again. Now that people are more open with gaga and if Venus is really good, I think she has a good chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What's the reason for sales + radio being low in the holiday season? radio's slowdown doesn't really show until December when christmas music takes away spins from pop music the digital slowdown has just been a trend the past couple years in Q4.

Klou 2,414 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What's the reason for sales + radio being low in the holiday season?Radio is cutting airplay on regular songs to add Christmas songs + people are spending money on gifts and don't want to spend money on iTunes songs. Album sales are up because they make good gifts. Buying someone a song on iTunes as a Christmas gift doesn't work lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
