I'm not here to star a Stan fight but it's impressive at Applause's logentivity and I know for a fact that if it would've been the other way around the katycats would've been doing the same thing

The logic for peaking in ATRL

comparing Roar with Applause can be two very different things.
We can see that Roar peaked at around 216m. This is almost the high est AI a song can achieve with only Pop and Hot AC support (as all the songs in the top 10 biggest airplay chart are RnB crossovers or multiformat supported i.e. Blurred Lines and Royals). With Roar swiftly climbing up the chart (gaining 70m in its first week and increasing as per 4-5m on daily basis), obviously it's going to reach the top sooner.
Applause is having Pop and Hot AC support too. Let's say it can potentially peak at same AI as Roar, and since it's taking slower steps climbing, it's obviously going to peak slower.
