....So much more catchy then Roar, lol. Call me delusional or whatever. This deserves to smash.
Roar still isn't number 1 on iTunes? Yikes.

Roar was released at a time when people were asleep. Also the hilarity in idiots thinking the speed of your single going #1 on the iTunes chart means something. They'll never learn
Not that it really means anything, but surely if everyone is asleep, the only people up buying music would be the fans waiting up to buy it?
So while the videos hinted at something slightly gothic-inspired, the album's first single, Roar – which leaked over the weekend ahead of its original premiere later today – sounds slightly toothless on first listen. Written and produced by the same people that worked on most of Teenage Dream (Dr Luke, Max Martin and songwriter Bonnie McKee), it's a mid-paced stompalong that touches on the fall-out from her marriage to Russell Brand in the verses ("You held me down, but I got up"), before exploding into a stadium-ready chorus that comes fully loaded with self-empowerment chants ("I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire"). At first, its radio-friendly precision is almost unnerving, but the success of Roar lies in its simplicity - it's a massive single from a massive pop star who knows exactly what she's doing, i.e. that if you put a drop just before the gigantic final chorus that you're basically onto a winner.
We gave it 9/10 pretty quickly – the song starts off a bit 6/10 in a Cher Lloyd album track sort of way but very quickly gets on track once the first chorus hits.
And again even Only Girl went up early and didnt hit #1 on iTunes the entire day yet still went #1.
ITunes performance matters a lot more now with the recent Billboard change.
Only Girl was only at #1 for one week...
Born This Way was the fastest selling digital song in history at the time, went #1 in over 20 countries in under 5 hours, and was #1 for 6 consecutive weeks...
Slightly better than what? Hearing someone doing a kazoo rendition through a megaphone from the far end of Wembley Stadium?
Aaand the point went right over your head because you had to put in a PR statement about BTW's performance. I'm talking about the first week debut. Can you stop being delusional for one second and read
I wasn't denying Roar won't go #1, it (probably) will, but longevity is more important.
Yes it IS important. And it will have longevity since we're on the topic now that we switched to it. It will clock 3x platinum
Old platnium or new platinum?
I really don't like how they've included shit like YouTube videos in their awards now
I'm sure when Gaga clocks her certifications y'all will have 0 problems with the new rules when receipt stanning
NEW YORKERS. MEET ME IN THE MORNING 8:30am AT 32 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS. I'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU. #ROAR 🐯

Roar is now #2. Funny how it climbed up so many spots when people... I don't know... WOKE UP?
The name of the LORDe's album:
Out Sept 30, Ribs is the next single.
My bad, not everyone can top iTunes in 51 minutes like The Lord.
