1. FourFiveSeconds it is just as generic, if not more generic than Applause. It is literally a pop song with a guitar. As simple as you you could get. Nothing wrong with that too. From the vocals, to the production, to the lyrics. Applause is more complex and less generic. Fact.
2. FourFiveSeconds got more exposure than Applause. The amount of promo spots is irrelevent. The amount of viewers is what is important.
These are the main misconceptions I have found in this thread. Carry on.
Not a good idea to say stuff like that so early.
R8 isn't even out yet.
This will be a slap you in the face later on.
Another member of ATRL who can't read What part of "so far" & "based on the current situation" you failed to understand ?

nnn at you acting like a "club anthem" = hit. Let's not act like Applause doesn't have any risky lyrics. You seriously expected people to sing along to
"I've overheard your theory
"Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second I'm a kunst
Then suddenly the kunst is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me"
Meanwhile, 45S's lyrics are quite SIMPLE. I don't get why are you guys saying they weren't radio friendly?!
I think I've had enough, I might get a little drunk
I say what's on my mind, I might do a little time
Cause all of my kindness, is taken for weakness
Nnnnn, almost as funny as Rihanna stans claiming '45S' wasn't designed for radio despite its lyrics, amount of writers and producers, and featured artists proving otherwise.
So basically you're saying a song that mentions alcohol and getting drunk is automatically designed for radio?
Cackling at the twisting of logic. The Navy just can't take Rihanna not slaying this era. Giving me Monsters-in-2013 teas.
'Applause' sold more in the US and WW yet '45S' is a bigger hit because of streaming?
Don't worry, Navy, you'll live through this. Maybe some of y'all will realize that your fave's chart success isn't the only thing that matters in life.
ffs is a gp-friendly remake of kumbaya with two very popular feature artists whereas applause is reverse warholian art-edm piece. ffs definitely has a lot more going for it, this is baffling!

Damn, you guys are literally GAGGING for someone to fail so you can drag them like Gaga was, aren't you?
Didn't a song with lyrics "Do what u want with my body" get more airplay that 45S ?
Alcohol and getting drunk are the theme of MANY country songs. Even they got more airplay than 45S, and they were supported only by 1 radio format
Since when is FFS a country song?
And there's plenty of songs that have lyrics that involve alcohol and aren't designed for radio.
And if you don't know that then you need to broaden your music taste.
Rihanna released trash, GP rejected it. Deal with it. And why would Rihanna need promo just like Gaga? Isn't Gaga a fad, isn't she forgotten? I thought that Gaga needs to remind people that her song is out and Rihanna doesn't because she's biggest pop star.
And FYI, Applause has sold more than 2 million from August to January-February not in TWO years
P.S. And Navy, stop being so cocky. Everyone knows about your meltdown in Rihanna base and requested bans here
What part of "so far" & "based on the current situation" you failed to understand ?
Sure sis.
Just because she mentions alcohol
