The only bad thing about 2013 was the release week of Applause, and just that week, Godga got big debut numbers, went #1 in the three biggest markets in the world (us, uk, jp) even 25 failed to do it. Applause ended up being a hit, with longevity, etc.
Why are you acting like that horrible video had anything to do with the song success rn?
If any it's going to harm the song.
Videos always give a song a surge in sales.
The problem with that video is that it won't last long after the initial buzz around the disgusting creature trying to be sexy! and sassy! will ware off.
2 Meghan Trainor - NO 0.9447
5 Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman 0.4960
She just released the music video, didn't she?
The big picture is, MegHAM is losing and she will continue to do so on a GLOBAL scale.
But glad you can't seem to explain why Ariana debuted with higher sales.
The problem with that video is that it won't last long after the initial buzz around the disgusting creature trying to be sexy! and sassy! will ware off.
The song will pull through on it's own, Meghan's ugly/fat face is not going to change that.
