if it makes you feel better, then yes it was a promo single

It WAS initially a promo single at first before the album even came out.

Applause is even't doing that bad. I'm sure almost everyone expected it to go to #1 in all major regions, but it's still doing well.

I love when ATRL so earnestly invokes the "general public" as if that really means anything.

Where are you all getting this information about what the entire country thinks? Does Gallup have some pop music polling service I don't know about?

Gaga gets dragged in here for having to do a lot of promo to get her singles into the Top 5 on iTunes.

She literally has NO promo besides an iTunes banner. Katy has promo everywhere, props to Capital and Katy's team for that though.

Gaga has the exact same promo as Katy in the US, let's not even
She's doing just as many radio shows and interviews as Katy
she also has an iTunes banner and she's making public appearances
she's gonna perform at the VMAs just like Katy and GAGA was announced MUCH EARLIER
try again...

ATRL monsters really set themselves up for this one

Ever since last September you guys were dragging every artist known to man about their performances and talking about "hide small countries" and discrediting everything

You guys were like the bully of ATRL tbh

So True. They overestimated her power

A bad song is a bad song no matter when it's released. This reminds me of when the Hive blamed everything and everyone under the sun for the failure of RTW except the song's atrocity.

then why is Roar doing good?

I feel so sorry for Gaga.



Man, at least when Ke$ha began to underperform, she wasn't DESPERATE on Twitter.
Why is Gaga being so DESPERATE on Twitter? Have some dignity, girl. Poor thing.

You're so nice. I accept your condolences

Katy has more banners on the Internet than Gaga and has 4x the airplay

Damn

This one is actually good. The red one was awful.

This actually puzzles me

Drake should be at #1. The rest of the top 10 does not deserve to be anywhere near the Top 20.

more banners xD that's some excuse right there
and they both had radio deals, Gaga should be doing what Katy was doing (-1day cause of the difference in release) but she's not even close to Katy's numbers of the same day...
