I wish Applause would've been #1 on Pop Radio :(

I mean if Jealous by Nick Jonas topped it and is a far cry away from 2M :rip:

I wish too! And I believe you meant Dance Club Songs for NJ? That's the only Billboard chart which it successfully topped in early January. But it did peak at #2 on Pop. I was looking if it's expected to top next week but just saw that it has already left the top five this week.

Sorry I was looking at Kworb and saw that it peaked at #1 on Pop. But of course, Kworb is a daily chart while Billboard's Pop Songs Chart is a weekly chart.

You need to understand that all artists are different in terms of their strong factors.

 

Gaga is lucky to have a huge fan base & an audience that buys her music. While other artists share an audience that listens to music through Spotify, YouTube & the radio, etc... There's really no given pattern that we can follow that applies to all artists.

 

In this day and age ticket sales are far more important than single / album sales anyway.

Yes, Thinking Out Loud is going number 1! So happy. Ed is going to be the next thing, hope he wins the AOTY award and become the next American sweetheart. Poor Tay, she can't even go big in UK.

"In the UK, 1989 sold 90,000 in its first week and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. It became her second number-one album in the UK, following Red (2012), and was the fastest-selling female solo album in 2014"

The queen is unbothered :monsterpaw:
