Sis what? Only 220k people bought Applause first week  This is a 2 minute jazz single that randomly dropped on iTunes one night.

Telephone is the most basic song of her career, and I'm listening to Money, Honey right now.
Are people still going on about her weight?  Jesus let the woman live. She's a 5 foot tall Italian guido ffs. She looks damn good, and imo, her dancing has been spot on this tour.

About her weight: It's a joke. She's very very small so every pound she gains looks huge. Everyone should relax......didn't she just tweet that she was at the gym yeseterday?
And I'm torn about Telephone. I think it's a huge big song but it's also somehow not very Gaga (just like DWUW).

It was a song Gaga released and it was dropped in the beginning of the week, so random isn't really relevant if they've tracked a week of sales, I honestly think this should've done as well as Applause, just based on her name

The beat is generic, the autotune is awful, and the lyrics are basic. It's still a great song, and the stutter hook is classic Gaga, but it really is the most basic song of her career, even with Beyonce.
And I agree about her weight. She could gain 5 pounds and it would look like she gained 20. Poor Gaga  I really do feel bad that people won't let up about her weight. Even at her biggest, she still isn't anywhere near fat.

I think we'll be lucky if her next lead single off of her next major pop release does 200k first week  This was a 2 minute jazz song, and a minute of it was just Tony and a trumpet.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read.
Anything Goes still outpeaked The Lady Is A Tramp on iTunes, which was a much better catchy cover and was dropped during BTW when Gaga's selling power was a lot bigger than it is now.
No one expected anything from Anything Goes. A two minute jazz cover isn't going to debut 200k+. There's a reason you rarely see jazz singles chart. The jazz community doesn't buy digital $1.29 singles. The last time a jazz single went top 30 on iTunes was Tony's duet with Amy (which received airplay unlike Anything Goes and benefited from Amy's death).

Can't wait to see the post-touring effect there. I hope they discount her albums for artRave to give them a bigger boost (Katy, Lana, Miley, etc... all have discounts with a main page iTunes banner there right now).

# 15 ARTPOP ( +9)

Let me break it down to you again:
- Gaga has a lot of young fans that still go to school
- Lots of people here asked for Applause to be gifted cause they had no money to buy it
- She released this song without announcement
- Pretty sure moooooooost of her young fans don't even like Jazz but will still buy the album just to support her
My boyfriend is a huge Gaga stan, earns money and didn't buy Anything Goes cause he thinks it's boring lol. So what do you expect?

Nothing, I don't even understand why you'd say that, you're being rude  I just expected Gaga + Tony fans would buy a lot more than just 16,000 copies of a Gaga song, let's not pretend that it's a lot when it's a good song with better vocals and production than over half of the songs on Gaga's last two albums. There's nothing wrong with me for just expressing my disapointment over the sales numbers and saying just once I expected them to sell more

Why are you completely ignoring the fact Anything Goes still outpeaked The Lady Is A Tramp on iTunes, which was a better cover and during an era where Gaga had a bigger digital and selling power?
Cut this deluded ********. No one expected anything from Anything Goes.
