I mean, Work Bitch was released around the same time and isn't far behind it last time I checked and it completely flopped. The video's not good though so the views make sense in a way.

Work Bitch is far behind Applause and took far far longer to reach 100mill. So don't even try to pose it as if its somehow doing better lol
To be honest Applause did surprisingly well considering its coming within a time period where she wasn't greatly liked. It peaked at #4, had her best radio spins in years, and managed to get over 200mill views. I think we're all very much aware that as far as her singles go its not like Applause was one of her biggest and overall even though its a good pop song its not exactly her best either. So I think considering what it is, its performance, the lukewarmness of the artpop era, and the general anti-gaga attitude that plagued her for so long..the views are what you should expect them to be.
