This is still selling so much.

There is no way that Applause is leaving the top ten next week. She will probably have about 3-6 million streams, and that's enough to keep it in the top ten (combined with the sales and airplay).

On Hot 100, maybe. But iTunes is NOT having it.
It'll be over in sales in a week, and radio will duly follow suit, with or without reverse payola.

Single release plus the video and VMAs in the next two weeks was always going to guarantee that the song have a few weeks in the Top 10.

The real test of her relevancy will come with the next singles.

On iTunes, it will be lucky to still be top 25 by October 1st.

If a first single isnt a hit, it's hard to convince as many radio stations or casual music buyers

[umich]

There are some eras that produced 2nd-single (or greater) hits when the leads underperformed or bombed:

Kanye's "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" was followed by "Gold Digger,"
Mariah's "It's Like That" was followed by "We Belong Together,"
Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" was followed by "Hard" and "Rude Boy,"

...and even to a lesser extent

Beyonce's "Run The World" was followed by "Best Thing I Never Had"

--

I wouldn't write the ARTPOP era off after one "underperforming" single.

No number 1 for Katy then

[GoneHome]

I'm afraid that every song on ARTPOP is similar to Applause, in that the lyrics are complicated and there's no chance of multi-format smashing.

Note how different the second singles were to the first.

The next single would have to be a lot different from "Applause" to even have a chance.

That's my worry with her. We know she wants the hits, but she doesn't seem to know what you have to do to get a legitimate one anymore. She hasn't really had one in quite a long time.

She needs to drop the dance music if she wants a hit. And that'd mean scrapping the entire album and starting over from scratch.

[Cap10Planet]

And "Applause" - so far - has not performed as badly as any of those first singes, so we can't do too much on Gaga. She still has enough time to get out another single before 11.11.

But "It's Like That" was HUGE compared to "Through The Rain". It reintroduced Mariah to radio.

Applause on the other hand.

Didn't ILT peak at #16, though? I was just trying to make a point by saying that a "weak" lead single doesn't necessarily mean that the era is done. Compared to WBT, ILT was way less of a hit.

It's only being supported by influxes of spur-of-the-moment downloads because of the twerk videos on Vine and YouTube. Once the twerking hype dies, the song will do the same. It doesn't even have radio support (to my knowledge).

Only reason I care is because it passes Gone, Gone, Gone and then falls under, and then passes and then falls under.

I'ma need someone to make a twerking version of Gone, Gone, Gone
