HOWGH.

Applause

The votes are nearly half and half

Hold on was a true radio hit. Applause was forced in commercials and ****....

HOWGH was bigger overall because of radio, but the fact that with more time and more radio support it is selling similarly to Applause may work against it.

I love Applause but I think HOWGH has a bit of an edge.

They're both constantly on the radio.
The only reason Drake is winning this poll is because (A) Gaga haters vote against her and (B) hes a man. People take him seriously by default.

HOWGH
