That video was getting a lot of views before it was flagged. Tch

Good news - Gaga jumps from 32 to 12 on Social 50 chart this week!

They said they were working on it TWO DAYS AGO. Two days to unflag a video?

Only her damn team.

Applause had a radio deal for the first day at least and was the lead single, her hyped "comeback"

I see you've forgotten Applause's DARK AGES after the initial hype died down, when it was stuck 40-50m AI for almost two weeks before it suddenly started getting huge updates again.

DWUW has no deal, was literally just announced as second single, and has not been officially sent for adds yet (not that the adds date matters much). It's doing fine so far. No need to be worried yet

Um, I realize this.. but they said Applause started out slow, when it didn't.

Yeah, it did. It got the radio-deal boost but then it gained extremely slowly for a while. DWUW didn't even have a deal so of course it's starting even more slowly. Just stop.

The audio being flagged also isn't the big deal y'all want it to be. No one actually admits they're under 18

DWUW Audio:

Day 1: 1.6m
Day 2: 1.1m
Day 3: 300k.
First half of 4th day: 150k.

No one wants to put effort by 'signing in' and hearing a Gaga song

Yea, but you gotta sign in to watch it now.

It is though. It takes away a lot of views. Not everyone bothers to open a YouTube account and a lot of people don't bother to log in. Anyhow, the song not being immediately sent to radios and them not unflagging the video makes me think that they're still waiting to see how people react to Venus and how it performs on the charts.

Why the **** are you always mentioning Kat in those threads

Good lord, calm down y'all. DWUW obviously isn't going to turn into "Candle in the Wind 1997" 2.0 overnight. Give it time like a normal single.

I'm really lost.

Is this second single now? What happened to Venus? Can someone fill me in those three days earlier?

As long as we don't get the video a month from now

Can't wait to see this live!

This is now the second official single. "Venus" will still be released to iTunes next Monday and is still planned as a single later.

It slowed down, but it didn't START OFF SLOW. I never said DWUW wasn't doing well, but you said Applause STARTED off slow, which it DIDN'T. It slowed down in the middle of it's run. YOU just stop.

Yeah, it did start off slow. It had a radio deal to compensate, but it was a slow starter on radio. It took almost a month to start actually gaining on its own merit. You're arguing just for the sake of arguing.

Oh. That's so weird. What if venus is much better?

Planned as a single later as in after the dying signs of DWUW
