It's not flopping and y'all are ridiculous. That's why.

BTW: 1st single, major hit
2nd single: top 10 due to downloads, otherwise a flop

ARTPOP: 1st single: top 10
2nd single: let the # 1 reign begin

I'm getting that feeling too.

It's just a very bad, very generic song with very generic lyrics. It's just all-round
terrible. The fact that "Born This Way" was a better single than "Applause" is telling enough.

Simple answer to a simple question:
because it's rubbish.

But it is NOT flopping !

What's wrong with you people ?

[ciara]

FLOP? that's a reach..... the song hasn't even been out that long.. and it's already seeing great sucess without any promo....


The rush release was a mistake though. she should of waited despite any leaks. The video + Song premiere concept would of made up for the leak and she could of possibly crushed any competition that week.


The song is still flawless and I play it all the time.

Because she made the ill decision of releasing on the same week as the biggest popstar on the planet.

Lyrics/not relatable. Could've been a fun song that also the general public enjoys and mostly... understands.

Haven't read this thread yet but I just went into the iTunes thread and seen this post:

A 200k+ debut week is nothing bad. Sure, it's bad for an artist whose fans claim to be the "biggest artist of the generation", but if you factor out the monster's arrogance, then the song is doing fine.

And it really is doing fine/ok, it's just that for someone on Gaga's 'status', the performance is pretty underwhelming especially considering it is a lead single to a relatively hyped album.

Really? Blocked by Jason Derulo?

Now THAT"S embarrassing!

[DAP]

Nnnnn, not Applause falling to number 5 on the iTunes Charts.

[NEZ]

the song is just really generic and really bad. Also she's competing against katy.

[MikeMonster]

Well, after Katy's last album singles I don't see how this is surprising... She's coming for that general public... Gaga's coming for her own s***, like it or not... Sure it's more generic, but still not enough. Should it have been though? Well, isn't that why we have other pop girls?

[QueenBeé]

2 and 3. She should've waited until 8/19 no matter what. Leak wouldn't have affected her sales that much, but Roar did.

[EnoughSaid]

Because it's a self indulgent gross mess, the verses are HORRIFIC, the production is spoof like, it's only saving grace is the pre-chorus and the chorus somewhat but it just definitely wasn't enough because the chorus is still filled with unrelatable mess.

And "art pop culture is now me" or whatever the hell she said during verse 2... yeah only made me hate her even more

Is this what it feels like to be a Ke$ha stan?
