We Can't Stop is genuinely one of the worst songs ever made.

Don't be a hater.

Anyway, everyone has forgotten about Applause. It's really like it never existed.

-It's not a party favorite like Problem/Shake It Off
-And it's not a coffee house staple like Rolling In The Deep
-It doesn't have the same club appeal as DrIL
-And people aren't singing it around a campfire like 45S

There's really no place for it.
It's just such a weird and awkward song for weird and awkward people.

Applause slays you girls . I remember first hearing and immediately loving it

[BabyCantYouSee]

We Can't Stop is one of the best pop songs of this decade.

[Lithium9]

What's my name? sounds even better!

In retrospect, Applause was the right choice for a first single. I can't see any other song off the album having performed better and having more longevity.

I kinda overreacted, but it does suck.

As terrible a song as Applause was, it still outsold every Beysic single from Beyonic.

Very true. I would feel embarrassed talking about it irl to my friends. They would probably be like "never heard that song" but still.

We Can't Stop is legitimately better than every JLo song, and again, I'm not trolling.

To go from Only Girl, WFL and Diamonds to 45sec.

The decay is real.

Only a true queen of pop can make a song about art, Koons, claps, and gongs go multi-platinum.



Then how did the unrelateable Applause sell more than Drunk in Love?

It was released months ahead of its album and properly promoted.

kk, Jenny From The Block is a guud bop, but Becky G did it better.

If the Navy considers Rihanna's "ability to pick out hit songs by ear" as a talent then I'm going to consider Gaga's ability to make "unrelateable" music a success one of her talents.

The critics praised it more than Diamonds and WFL
