I fail to see any similarity to OG, care to enlighten me?

what is this mess?

But she herself came pretty close with WHYB

Would Applause even go platinum if Gaga just released it and did nothing though? As far as I know it's already been freefalling until the video came out, then again until the VMAs performance, and now will start again soon.

Care to clean your ears?

The chorus is practically the same.

Just cause it was very frontloaded doesn't mean it didn't flop.

It's not an excuse against other artists that Britney doesn't do ****.

It sounds like a mix of a Selena Gomez song and Feel So Close.

Applause will struggle to sell 2M

I just don't see it

Not an excuse, just shows their power and how much they can sell off the name alone

It's really not similar enough to suggest it was made with OG in mind though

Always better when you at least have frontloaded sales to rely on like Britney and Gaga back in BTW era.

Frontloaded sales have always been a thing in the UK

I am pretty sure it was made with OG in mind. It's exactly the same chorus.

I just pray for the sake of her and her fans that Britney doesn't perform/promote during this new era

saying that Applause is doing "incredibly well" is layering it on a bit too thick. It's doing alright, for now. And it will probably slip out of the top 10 by next weekend.

Eminem dragged Miley. Luvs it.

Wait, there's a RedOne track on ArtPop after all?

Her team better get dat Target deal ready, along with other deals like featuring her songs in the commercials. That's the only promo that will work.

I still dunno how I feel about the Eminem sing.
