I'm still waiting for a thread by RobynYouBank for Applause like the one he did for Skyfall. After all Applause is the lead single of a brand new era.

I even called "Skyfall" not doing astronomical numbers or being a big radio hit because it's a Bond theme, and most Bond themes are not big sellers or radio smashes, but Adele's name would take it a long way compared to Bond themes in recent years, and all of that happened. People act like it was the end of Adele's career, especially the Little Monsters, so the performance of "Applause" so far is so hilarious to me right now. All that talk about strong first week & skyrocketing to iTunes #1 = starpower.

Is Lady Gaga #1 in the US on iTunes yet?

I'm tired of lady gaga hyping her music up and it turning out to be the exact opposite of what she claims it will be.

Applause includes no art. It's just a basic pop song.

If Gaga put Applause in TFM, it would not have been even considered to be released as a single.
Die Young >>> Applause, at least it's catchy.

Weren't we saying how Interscope was sabotaging Robin when they pulled Blurred Lines off of iTunes for a bit?

Just like everyone thought TS was going to get a huge boost after the BBMAs?

Although WA's BBMA performance was the pits, it was a brand new song, so of course more people purchased it after hearing it. I don't think BL will have that same effect.

Lady #2Ga ain't getting any grammies for this mess of an era
she's not gonna get nominated in the EDM category and she's gonna get squashed in the pop category by Katy+Rihanna and Taylord

Kworb is your website getting more hits than usual?

Do the BBMAs even have a big audience, though? The VMAs reach is far more lengthier, and Robin has had luck with his performances increasing his points. I'm not sure if he will get back to #1, but he will definitely increase hard.

I am so gonna stan for Adele if she gives me more dramatic songs like 'Skyfall'.

Here for Britney and Beyonce's to go against one another tbh.

As if that would be any competition for Britney.

HIAM sold over 5 times as much as RTW did first week.

Finally managed to concentrate on Applause lyrics while listening to it.
What on earth was she thinking

Every single line is embarrassing, mental and completely retarded.
There's literally not one decent line of lyrics in the whole song... how is that possible.


The verses

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here

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 Koons fan, suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was an art, now art's in pop culture in me

The chorus..... The everything

I think this year's viewership was in the 7-9 million range. VMAs were 6 million (which was a 50% drop from the previous year ). The viewership for this year should be higher, but it may max around 10-12 million.

Britney will probably flop, too.

Pop is also in a transitional phase. That's why we see so many new artists and older artists breaking through in such a big way.

Gaga's lyrical skills have always been overrated. I understand that she doesn't want to be a basic bitch like the rest, but her lyrical sense is pretty nonsensical & that's why pop radio and the public haven't latched on to her since the first single of BTW.
