If that were true her singles would only be big after radio picked them up. The minute "Roar" came out everyone was all over the Internet searching for it and that's what lead to over half a million first week downloads long before the song was pushed to the GP by the radio. People, including myself, went out of their way to find and buy "Dark Horse" months before it was a radio single. She can clearly sell without radio, though of course radio support doesn't hurt.

How is that not a decline? I mean yeah she is still moderately successful but things aren't the way they used to be for her. Which is also fine bcoz no one slays all the time.

Her era is far from over yet and she's a consistent seller. Of course it's a decline from TD, but judging from the fact that TD is one of the top ten longest charting albums ever by a female in the U.S., it's pretty safe to assume she'll have some sales longevity
Plus, TD is four years old and Prism isn't even one yet. Give the era some time.
I never said Roar, DH or the Prism era overall was a flop.
I didn't say Applause is a flop, I said it's nowhere close to a big hit like Roar or DH.
