Part of the reason Gaga is so high worldwide is because her album presales are included lifting her up to number 1 on http://kworb.net/itunes . Example A:
Katy is competing with Applause the single and Artpop the album presales. So don't worry she is doing fine worldwide in comparison.
But I don't think that the version they get when they pre-order ARTPOP count as a single sale too tho, does it?

What she doing?she afraid to flop?
She is not flopping but not doing as well as many expected. I don't know why she cares so much if Katy is ahead of her. It is clear her fans will love her no matter what and the media is on it now.

Desperate Lady Gaga tweets incentives for fans who buy multiple copies of song
This afternoon, Lady Gaga made two disturbing tweets that encourage her fans to help her get another number one song. In the first one, she announced a contest in which fans can win a chance to meet her and attend a concert if they purchase her new single "Applause," which is being overshadowed by Katy Perry's "Roar." In the second one, she lets fans know they will have a better chance of winning if they buy multiple copies. She tells them that they must post pictures of the purchase receipts.
As of this afternoon, some of Lady Gaga's fans have individually spent over $300 in order to buy multiple copies of "Applause" in hopes of winning the contest and helping Gaga beat Katy Perry's much better and far more popular song. Billboard tells us that all copies purchased will count towards the charting of the song. However, many Internet posters believe that Lady Gaga is not only taking advantage of her fans, but trying to score a number one song through inflated sales methods.
Two years ago, after the "Born This Way" album fell flat, Lady Gaga reduced the price to 99 cents and Billboard counted the sales. Due to the backlash, Billboard no longer counts albums that sell for less than three dollars. Let's hope people complain enough about this desperate stunt for it to cause a backlash.

The gap in NZ. North America stans for Queen K. Is she still #1 in Mexico? Gaga was closing in on her there.
