[Pitch 204]

the rest of the world needs a promo single to keep the hype going, ARTPOP or Swine would do good imo

[Klou 2,414]

Gaga has 4 full weeks before the album is released. APPLAUSE won't be able to go down the radio that fast in 4 weeks to completely free the space for the new single. So there's still a chance it will be somewhere in TOP 15 on the radio when ARTPOP is out.

 

Gaga is scheduled to do some pre-album promo which will allow her to have big debut, big enough to claim the No.1 album. If she does SNL on November, 16, she will have a sales boost for the second week. She then can do some TV shows in the USA to sustain sales and lead the album into the holiday season, where the coonsumer activity and the freshness of the album will probably keep it selling alright till the New Year. Then in January send the second single to the radio and later support it with the Grammy performance. 

 

I mean she will only have like December uncovered by single release, and it's OK since December is generally a month for the extra consumer activity. 

 

She needs more than a handful of performances to carry the sales after the album release. Radio is the absolute best promo an album can get. She needs something on the radio between now and January. If she doesn't keep the momentum up then the sales won't pick up again much if the releases a single in January.

 

It's honestly better to have a flop single out for the holidays and release a 3rd single out in the beginning of 2014 than to not have anything out during the holidays at all.

[Marco 731]

And the album cover is still not on iTunes

[Gerrard174 697]

HOWGH is peaking on pop 

but of course WB is coming strong behind applause

[Blues 0]

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Lorde retains the No. 1 slot with "Royals," selling another 309,000 (up 5%). Katy Perry's "Roar" is steady at No. 2 with 218,000 (down 9%) and Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" is also a non-mover at No. 3 with 214,000 (down 3%).

Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" is stationary at No. 4 with 167,000 (down 8%) while Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home" (featuring Majid Jordan) jumps 13-5 with 131,000 (up 64%).

 

Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Justin Timberlake," rises one rung to No. 6 with 118,000 (down 4%) and Eminem's "Berzerk" dips two slots to No. 7 with 115,000 (down 14%).

 

Perry debuts at No. 8 with "Walking On Air" (113,000) -- the third pre-release track from her "Prism" album. It follows the set's first official single "Roar," and "Dark Horse" (featuring Juicy J). The latter song slips 8-10 this week with 99,000 (down 5%).

 

With those three placings, Perry is the first artist with three songs in the top 10 of the Digital Songs chart in almost a year. The last act to do so was Taylor Swift on the Nov. 3, 2012-dated chart, when she ranked in the top 10 with "State of Grace" (debuting at No. 2), "I Knew You Were Trouble" (falling 1-4 in its second week) and then-current official single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (down 7-8 in its 10th week).

 

Like Perry, Swift achieved the feat because of pre-release tracks from her album "Red." In addition to "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "State of Grace," Swift issued two more pre-release cuts from the album -- its title track and "Begin Again."

 

Back in this week's top 10, Lady Gaga's "Applause" descends 6-9 with 109,000 (down 18%).

 

109k for Gaga

[bumblebee 2,528]

 

 

It's honestly better to have a flop single out for the holidays and release a 3rd single out in the beginning of 2014 than to not have anything out during the holidays at all.

 

A "flop" single can't do anything for the album in terms of promotion though 

[Gerrard174 697]

and i was right.

applause will pass 11000 spins tomorrow.

 

will it goes 12000 spins ? 

[Dangerous Man 9,245]

If it doesn't debut with at least that I'll call it a flop tbh, Miley's been too overexposed lately.

I

Agree, tho 200K seems acceptable.

[Gerrard174 697]

109k for Gaga

wait what?

kworb predicted 99k single sales i think. so remixes sold 10k only?

[Mariano 958]

I think the holidays are perfect for Single sales but It really depends from the song and when radio will Pick Up ... IT's not necessary that a song released In oct-november will flop ..

[Klou 2,414]

A "flop" single can't do anything for the album in terms of promotion though 

A flop single is never good, but it's better than absolutely nothing.

[Dangerous Man 9,245]

Magoo almost hit it! 109K is good. :clap:

[Bt1 5,213]

So the remixes didnt make anything for the song.

[Marco 731]
