Mariano 958 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I didn't say it flopped. But main reason of its sucess was because of monumentum it had back then. If Gaga released Applause instead BTW i guess it would have sold around 6m only in US Applause doesn't stand a chance against BTW BTW gives chills It has this SMASH factor, Applause would never... If a song is destined to be huge It will be ... And not you saying BTW sold 8.2M because of its momentum, the first week MAYBE, but what about the next 6M sales ? Yes these 6M sales after the 2nd week, that Applause will never even reach WW ? Applause is tragic, It's not only because of Gaga it's also because of the song, I mean the song is hardly at 3.5M WW and It's the lead single of Lady Gaga Katy's 5th single from TD sold more ... Only the first week is this Momentum, If the song is crap, no one will buy it.. and the song peaked in its 3rd or 4th week on radio and people kept buying It and kept it at number 1 for 6 weeks ... let's not !

Sis BTW got 100m of AI in just 5 days because of monumentum and even you admited it. If BTW was released instead of Applause it would perform just like Work Bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills 446 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Empowerment singles generally do well though. So, even if BTW was released this year, I believe it'd easily reach at least 2 million in a span of three months. Some of the examples I've in mind would be Christina Aguilera's Beautiful (peaked at #2 in the HOT 100 chart), which followed the top 50 lead single. Two of Katy Perry's biggest hits, Firework and Roar, are empowerment anthems as well. Same goes with two of P!nk's biggest hits, Raise Your Glass (#1) and ****in' Perfect (#2).

Mariano 958 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 ok thats your opinion and i respect it i have my opinion and you can't change it. ok good, but this is not about opinions, that was my whole point. It's like me saying "My opinion is that California Gurls didn't smash, u can't change it" Merry Christmas this. applause > btw If applause was the lead single off Born this way it would have sold 15 mil and if btw was the lead single off ARTPOP it would have sold 500k. xax sure only that BTW is more relatable and a better song even with all the gayness in it .. The Chorus is stronger than Applause as a whole ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babel 41,493 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Guys we're not in august anymore, stop trying to make Applause vs. Born This Way happen. Both are good songs and both did very well for their single case. Loving the radio update. It shows DWUW still has a chance to be a radio hit (at least) when we recover from the freeze in January.

ArtGagaPop 61,940 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Can it be jan soon? All the christmas songs mess up the charts so much and all the itunes gift cards. Right now in sweden DWUW fell from being 16 to 73 on the swedish spotify chart. Thanks to 58 christmas songs ahead of it. Hopefully in jan DWUW can rebound on radio and start selling good again with the video and remix and DWUW will go top 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
