As of right now, Applause is Top 5/Top 10 in every country that matters, the rest of the countries that have her in the Top 5/10 are added bonus'. I want Applause to end up as TEOG-sized hit that served to re-introduce the 'new' Lady Gaga back into the general public's conscienceless after the BTW era mess, then Gaga can massacre us with the 2nd single, because we know damn well she has better songs than Applause on that album, the unfinished demo of Burqa/Aura being an example, but obviously a more radio friendly song.

It will probably be an TEoG-sized hit.

Katy will do more than 450k this week, that's my prediction

When's the VMA's? Will it be counted for the following week or this one?

Sunday at 8PM Eastern Time (4 hours before the tracking period ends).

There may be some minor sales bumps that will count for this week's sales, but the majority of the surge will affect next week's sales.

Interscope just confirmed that Robin is performing Give It 2 U at the VMA's so I expect to see Katy at #1 and Gaga at #2

Hope he doesn't perform even a little bit of Blurred Lines

Is it true that Drake is performing "Started From The Bottom"?

[LostInStereo100]

The Robin second single is finally back in the top 200 again

I'll see if I can find something to confirm, but I hope not. That'd be stupid.

[Giacobbe]

So next week I'm assuming that Robin will still be #1, Katy will be #2. Gaga will probably increase to around 4-5?

After the VMA'S my guess is that Katy will be #1, Robin #2, Gaga #3. Then after that time will tell if Katy's music video will give the song a substantial push to keep it at number 1 for a long while.

Toronto MC will give the first live television performance of 'Started' at Sunday's show, where he's up for two Moonmen.

What a wasted opportunity. He should just be Gone, Gone, Gone from his performance spot and give it to artists that actually need promoting.

If Blurred Lines wins Video of the Year, that wouldn't even matter. It would still get a sales boost.

Good for Robin. His album is holding up, needs to push what's to come next.

How much of a boost did Firework and We Found Love get after winning?

Not entirely sure, but they were both already done on the charts by the time they were awarded. Robin is still selling far above everyone else but Katy, so I think that it would be enough to keep Gaga from passing him. That is, of course, if he even wins. But who would beat him? Macklemore maybe. I don't see any of the others posing a threat.

With any luck, Gaga should at least be able to pass Avicii but I'm not so sure. If there is a house DJ who plays "Wake Me Up" while the show fades to commercial, that might even be enough to keep it from giving way.

I don't think that gained that much. But you have to take in consideration "Blurred" has the advantage of still being a monster right now. Katy (video 2010; award 2011), Rihanna (video 2011; award 2012) were long gone off the charts by the time they won.

Oop, late.
