But keep telling yourself that Applause did not do better not because people did not like it enough to buy it, but because some online sites wrote stories about what a flop Gaga was , irrelevant and over.
PS: Lets not forget how the media also said that Gaga had a dick, was a hermaphrodite, yet The Fame managed to sell 10M WW.

Gaga was a new and fresh artist back then with a lot of momentum at that period of time.
Adele got big but after 21 but ever since Hello the era was done, at least I don't hear any of her songs on the radio anymore and her latest single is on our charts on place 39.
She's out of steam for the moment.
Arianna the same but she still has the album to push another hit maybe for this era but so far it's not looking that good, neither of her songs were/are on heavy rotation.
Meghan also coming off a big era, also lost steam, non of her songs are smashing now.
It's an inevitable cycle.
