i feel like applause is ~technically~ more successful with all the typical sales, radio, etc. considered, but i think it is/will be forgotten easily, unlike Anaconda. hmmm
Doesn't matter really. Sales do matter the most after all. And Applause sold 3x+ more.
Anaconda wasn't even a viral hit because people even wanted to watch it per se...it just was because of the attention whoring video. Even views of the video plummeted after only a few weeks.
