Hi everyone. I'm new here, but have lurked forever and decided to jump in!

 

I believe what we are seeing with Applause on the radio is a label decision to push the well known hit, leading up to the week of the album release. I've seen it done with other artists and it makes sense. Right now, they are in album mode. They are pushing for the best opening week possible and it is better to do that with a #5 radio hit than with a song that is climbing and in the 30s. Then they will use SNL and the upcoming video for DWUW to launch the second single and to push for album longevity. It's a strategic decision and one that makes sense for album sales. Concentrate on the album this week and next, then start with the push for DWUW the next week.

That's what I think too! Troy mentioned this kind of approach last week when he talked about the ARTPOP promo campaign.

Glad you joined the site! Welcome. :)

 

Very good insight. Do you have experience in the industry? Hope to see you continue posing in the future!

Thank you! No, I'm just a nerdy chart watcher. I hang out at Pulse and have been watching music numbers and charts for a while now.

 

This is my favorite thread, I check it constantly! :)

'Xcuse me, just gonna make my daily stop into this thread. How's the increase coming for DWUW on AI? Are we at 30M+? 40M?

 

And I like this idea of promoting the album first and worrying about DWUW later, since the MV for it wont be coming out for another 2 weeks or so.

DWUW got like a 1m update since KIIS and 92.3 now felt the need to put Applause back into PR and cut DWUW's spins :rip:

I actually am warming up to this tho? I think it makes sense to push Applause for another week since people are familiar with it. DWUW isn't big enough to sell records yet- focus on that later.

"Okay gaga coming up next" So I waited "expecting to hear dwuw"

 

They played born this way

I never thought we'd want Applongevity to die off, but the good girl Applause needs to take a seat.
