Still Top 10 without any kind of pre-order. Y'all shouldn't comment when you don't know how the UK chart works.

Gaga is the queen!

How does a pre-order affect positively a single after a month?

In the UK singles never do well if released at the same time as in the US, there's always weeks of delay, I doubt Katy would be #1 if released in the same week as Applause, thats what he was trying to say.

Congrats Katy

#1 in the US, UK, Canada and Worldwide in the same week.

She sold 180k while Ellie probably did not even sell 90/100k, ofc she would have been #1, the excuse.

They do well if it's by a big star and have WAY more longevity.

What he said would've been correct if he was talking about its first week, not its 4th And then he has the nerve to post this "Y'all shouldn't comment when you don't know how the UK chart works"

Huge numbers for Katy.

How are the VMAs supposed to be promo in the UK? And the iTunes Festival didn't even air, it was an online stream

Gaga's release was messy (on air/on sale releases rarely work there, which is why Roar was just released after almost a month of pre-orders) and in fact it is holding up very well with no promo (the IF maybe helped her on Sunday when she had the banner but still): she sold 38K the first week and more than 30K for the two following weeks and probably a similar amount this week too. It is not a huge hit but nothing to be ashamed of.

.....well

[Retro]

Amazing numbers!

Cut the Gaga shade, sistren, it's neither cute nor witty.

I was being a bit sarcastic hence the

And also, nobody watches the VMAs in Europe. They're at 4 AM.
