Um because Katy's a streaming queen. Applause wasn't anything special (the music video at least)

This can't be true!

Wowowww

TIHWD is the better song and video, plus the GP is still heavily interested in her

Sis this was already AP

Get over Lady Gaga. Apparently she's over and not a competition to your fave, but yet you and your kittens can't leave her alone. Sad.

Not trying to be shady but I think it's pretty clear that some of the video views are purchased. I mean seriously, when has a video as bad as DH ever been viewed that many times? 700m wtf?

Katy buys her views lolz it's not that difficult to understand!!!!11

TIHWD was the bigger hit.

okay...

It's the better video.

wow this is strange

I'm not trying to provoke anyone. Ask anyone who knows me and I like Gaga. But this is interesting, Here for the essays.

Common sense

Katy's "major flop" has more views than Gaga's lead single from ARTPOP? This is interesting

The TIHWD video is more entertaining.

For the same reason Katy is the most followed person on Twitter 🍳

oh wow what a mess

Maybe because the TIHWD video had great replay value and Applause didn't?

Gaga's only video with impressive views is Bad Romance. She never really had much streaming power did she.
