Gaga won't debut at number one with 'Applause' if she has a radio deal, that's for sure.

Gaga won't debut at number with 'Applause' if she has a radio deal, that's for sure.

Some have suggested that the single may be tied to album preorders as well, which can hurt sales.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

The single for Goldfrapp's new video is joining the sexy avante garde and artistic naked person trend, it's got boobs in it.

AND ALSO PERT TIGHT MAN BUTTS

Bless Goldfrappsus saving us from a blight of heteronormative nonsense.

Sooo.... Her alberm is ouT, but I don't think popgaf will be here for it. Really low-key, like that last Bat For Lashes.

Did The Lord debut at #1 based strictly off of sales?

Pretty much.

Though she had no Blurred Lines to overcome.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

I fear for Robins life tbh. The Lambs are already after him for crushing Mariah's record into oblivion (BL's had the biggest radio update again today even north of 250 million AI).

I don't think Robin is too bothered. He's already been around so long that he used to look like Eddie Vedder.

 

[3phemeral]

Naw. Radio audiences have actually been declining as people gravitate towards streaming.

Almost all the top AI songs are from the mid 00's.

Ah, interesting. I always assumed that AI was adjusted when format popularity shifted. Interesting that they modify their data references for chart performance but not for AI.

This song needs to die already.. :biblio:

 

[Trigger]

Bless Robin Thicke for cutting his hair.

 

[Wafflecakes]

They have tried to keep AI fairly stable over the last decade with frequent readjustments. How successful they have been is up for debate.

This song needs to die already.. :biblio:

It should start dropping soon, but it will take a while for it to become vulnerable. It will probably have 2x+ the total overall points of the #2 song next week.

 

[cory64]

Blurred Lines will still be over 75k points for the next few weeks, even a massive debut for Applause will most likely land it at #2.

Technically, She debuted at number 72 on the Hot 100 purely on 2 days worth of accumulated airplay before the tracking week ending Tuesay (airplay tracking week starts Wed-Tues) and jumped to number 1 the week after.

So, no one has actually debuted at number 1 on the Hot 100 since the inclusion of streaming data.

 

[3phemeral]

[Matt_]

I called that the video would permier on the 19th. Another correct prediction from #mysticmatt

If blurred lines blocks ha though.

There really haven't been any significant debuts during that time frame.

The streaming change took power away from radio so in theory it should make #1 debuts easier.

 

[paperheart]

Dance in the Dark was actually a single here, but it only got sent to radio and I don't even know how well it ended up doing.

Oh yeah, I remember you talking about that a while back. Australia having the best taste as per.

The Applause video will debut on the same day as the single.

I'm happy about this. I hate when videos take forever to come out after a single is released.

I also hope "Applause" is not an iTunes exclusive for a period of time...

Amazon MP3 >>>>>>>>

 

[Matt_]

She'll have some radio paola right?

 

[Wafflecakes]

She'll have some radio paola right?

Would be shocked if she didn't.

 

[Styles]

If her team wants a number 1 debut, they need to hold off on the radio deal until Wednesday.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Why?

Edit: Oh yeah... the Wed-Tue cycle. Though I don't think they will care if they debut a week early then jump to #1. Having the song on radio will help its sales on Monday/Tuesday.

Oh is that why Billboard releases its ranking on wednesday, because they have to wait for radio?
Is everything else just Monday-Sunday?

 

[Trigger]

lol, who knew the politics of song debuts were so complex? I feel like I'm in summer pop school.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Everything else is Monday-Sunday.

Really there is no good reason why the radio cycle is how it is.

We Found Love is #24 on the ALL-TIME Hot 100. Slay a bit Rih.

Yas at her slatying a bit. Her having the highest bow of her contemporaries so far.

A living legend.

I wonder if the Beyst or Gaga will have a song higher

 

[Wafflecakes]

Upon its debut at No. 2, "Song," which was written for 1D's upcoming documentary "This Is Us" and serves as the lead single from the group's forthcoming third studio album, becomes One Direction's highest-charting Hot 100 hit. It tops the No. 3 peak of "Young" and the No. 4 peak of the act's debut hit "What Makes You Beautiful" last year.

1D Debut at #2.....and I can't even make myself pressed over them being blocked by Blurred Lines.

 

[botty]

I knew it would debut high. It's a really good song tbh.

 

[Tokubetsu]

He linked that to me yesterday but I ignore most of the things he links me, you should have sent it to me.

Yeah but I like withholding things from you.

 

[Trigger]

1D Debut at #2.....and I can't even make myself pressed over them being blocked by Blurred Lines.

Me neither. The song is cute enough, and I like it when smaller artists come out of nowhere and clock the charts.

 

[Aguila]

I knew it would debut high. It's a really good song tbh.

Oh, is that why it charted so high?

 

[botty]

Oh, is that why it charted so high?

best song ever tbh

 

[cory64]

It's okay, I don't mind.

And still not getting it.

I wonder if the next line after the spelling is just going to be her saying "applause, applause" a la Bad Romance monotone delivery.

Once we get the melody and video I'm sure it will all click. Gaga knows a good chorus.

[cory64]

POLICE (3:44)

 

[botty]

Mess. Britney should have released in time for the VMAs.

Excited none the less.

 

[Matt_]

Poor Brit is going to get lost in this vicious season
Expecting her to slay though, musically if not commercially

edit; I bet the line "call the police" features in it #mysticmatt
