Applause, the lead single from ARTPOP, has shifted 2.4 million downloads in the US and has become Lady Gaga's biggest radio hit of all time. People dismissed the song as being a weak single due to its sales and promo (it went head to head with Katy Perry's global phenom
Roar) but it had longevity and did well on streaming.
Billboard has named the song as Lady Gaga's fifth biggest hit:
1) Just Dance (Peak: #1)
2) Poker Face (Peak: #1)
3) Bad Romance (Peak: #2)
4) Born This Way (Peak: #1)
5)
Applause (Peak #4)
6) The Edge of Glory (Peak: #3)
7) Paparazzi (Peak: #6)
8) Telephone (Peak: #3)
9) LoveGame (Peak: #5)
10) Alejandro (Peak: #5)
Is Applause's success underrated seeing that the song has already passed prior hits like The Edge of Glory, Telephone, and Paparazzi in success???
Discuss.
