Applause doesn't sound like something that would have longevity (unlike WCS, BL, Rihanna's singles, etc)
If it fails right out of the gate, then
You know I was mad at them for not releasing the album soon after the single but now I'm glad it's still three months away. There's still time for the second single to 'save' the era
You sounded like you were kissing ass. And Gaga's only flop single was still a top 40 hit, meaning that she's somehow pleasing the public if only one out of her 12 singles failed to smash.
Remember when the Monsters went into such frenzy that the BTW thread had to be closed...all b/c I said she'd lost her digital power when MTN was having trouble cracking the iTunes top 1,000
Katy's lyric video already has over 4 million views. The song is probably doing well at Spotify, too. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she moves to #1 on the Hot 100 next week.
I'm so out of the Pop scene that I don't really care if Gaga flops or succeeds, I'm not even bothered. I just hope that she delivers some electro experimental tracks on ARTPOP.
But I still hope that things get better for Gaga, I want another great tour.
I will stop being a fan of hers when she finally ends up like Britney, a totally forgotten, fat ass, untalented, unable to make 1 good song, poor touring act girl.
