Was it not?

And an ad on television on heavy rotation where the song is explicitly shown (the part in the car the guy has his iPod on and it shows "Applause").

The song is NOT a smash It peaked well in most places but it completely collapsed after that, right now it's only Top 10 in a 2-3 major markets. Same situation as Give Me All Your Luvin'.

And in the US it took 2 months to sell what Born This Way did in 2 weeks It's not even Top 5 on Pop Songs yet

*** is still done. A feature artist.

Applause is by no means a smash but it is a hit.

Moderate semi-local hit.

A WW flop.

Universalney again! That Britney reign just won't let up!

BTW damaged her.

She's doing well after that era, a lot of artists would have more trouble coming back after such an off-putting era.

Celine Dion is such a legend

us English demographic haven't been here for her for anything she's done since 2006

You will be here for her this time whether you like it or not.

It didn't flop WW.

lol at going platinum being an achievement for gaga these days.

Speaks volumes.

Everyone has heard it and yet barely anyone wants to buy it.

I love the unintentional shade the monsters are throwing at themselves. ITS A BIGGER AIRPLAY HIT THAN JUST DANCE AND POKER FACE!!!!!!!!!!! Ok....and it can only sell 1.3 million while those two sold over 7 million each.

Applause is a minor hit in the US and a flop everywhere else. No impact, completely forgettable and total filler for the radio. It's like Britney's "I Wanna Go" or every Pink song (w/o the sales).

Oh, so many broken records, but where is the proof? Her label hasn't updated the box office since June-July. Why wouldn't they do that?

I guess DWT's box office will look like this
