I don't know what country you're talking about, but the USA certainly NOT.

What you fail to understand is that it only peaked the highest in terms of (medibase?) AI and that's because format's changes. AI these days is grossly overrated; back in 2008/2009 #1. song would barely surpass 100M (chris brown's forever was #1 with less than 100m on mediabase which is even less on nielsen) and nowdays each #1 radio song surpasses 200m.
radio formats grew.

what matters is radio chart run rather than AI peak.

And obviously Applause is not her biggest radio hit, I don't think it's even top 5.

yeah, kinda

Nope.

yes

Hearing the live version of it slays.

Applause is not her biggest god damn radio hit. This is why you guys have so many problems with other fanbases. You make **** up and run with it.

Well... it is

Or because people like you over-dramatise our actions while every other stanbase makes up their own receipts too, whichever way you want to look at it sweetie pie

Telephone: 9M (extremely successful in SK selling 1M there)
Paparazzi: 6M
Applause: 3,5M

(WW)

Queen Angela disagrees.

We're not being dramatic. I (we) genuinely find you guys annoying. The fact that you think making up receipts is standard just speaks to how far Gaga has fallen and what a tragic state your fanbase is in. If a fly buzzes around my head for 5 minutes and I finally snap, that's not me being dramatic, the fly is just irritating. If you can't figure out why everyone is dramatic or sensitive towards what you say, chances are you're the problem.

It's one of the most underrated songs last year, it had great sales, radio support and great longevity. There were a lot of strong songs at the same time, it's normal it didnt peak at 1

What's got you so bothered sis

Applongevity her power.


I'm tired of people twisting Applause into her biggest radio hit ever though Aren't the numbers inflated compared to her old singles or something? Paparazzi hit #1 on pop radio with less AI.

Success is success, whatever its rating.

Definitely. It had a lot of longevity.

Ofc not.

A single with a heavy rotation commercial since September, performance, a ''great'' longevity on radio and barely hitted 2x platinum

Only on ATRL. It's just because it didn't match up to Roar, when everyone expected it to block Katy from #1.

This.
