 I do agree with this. People seem to be making excuses as to why Gaga isn't ahead. The question is why? Is it really that important? Plus, longevity matters 1000X more than the debut so the rush-release and such won't actually be a factor in the songs success.
Also, it isn't like 
Applause is failing. It is just under-performing in the U.S because of the wild expectations people had for its debut.
