Roar will forever be remembered as the song that ruined Gag's career
Quote:
Before taking to her extravagant, £500,000 set at Camden’s Roundhouse, the 27-year-old batted away the lukewarm sales of her comeback track Applause following a PR battle with Katy Perry.
Quote:
The track has already performed well around the world – romping to the top of the charts in a number of countries and beating off stiff competition from Lady Gaga’s Applause.

How Lady Gaga Lost Her Chart Battle With Katy Perry
The triumph of “Roar” over “Applause” reveals a philosophical rift between the two pop stars. As it turns out, people are more excited to hear themselves in a song than revel in someone else’s fame.

Katy Perry's Roar is totally outselling Lady Gaga's Applause in the fierce race for US number one
The battle of the popstars isn't even close as Katy Perry storms ahead in the race to top the charts
Katy Perry is absolutely smashing Lady Gaga in the race to top the US charts and is set to score her eighth No.1 single in the States.
Perry has sold a staggering 450,000 copies of Roar in it’s first week of release outselling Gaga’s new track Applause which has shifted an impressive - now totally undermined - 225,000 copies.
Quote:
And so, aggressive inoffensiveness in the form of self-affirming platitudes wins over Gaga's somewhat convoluted affirmation of how famous people rely on public adoration and whatever the hell else is going on in "Applause." It's not exactly a huge shock, but this does suggest that now behind us are the days when anything Gaga released was a guaranteed smash.
It must hurt Rihanna that Katy would literally bow at GODce's feet and shine her stilettos.
No matter how much records Rihanna sells, she'll ALWAYS be considered inferior.
Even Miley said that Beyonce's on another level, and that's even when she's emulating Rihanna's wannabe thug act.
