Actually little Lucy, Applause has already sold 2 Million Digital Copies and Roar has only sold 765,000 Copies, just because Applause didnt go #1 in the US doesnt mean it flopped. Applause peaked in 57 Countries while Roar peaked in 49. Applause received the biggest airplay of 2013 and ARTPOP is the fastest/most pre-ordered album in iTunes history with 5 Million Copies...suck on that little lucy
