Horrible one of her worst songs and that includes her early demos. And the fact she rush released this and those tweets about destroying itunes and get streaming points just proves all she cares about is chart position and money. A mess. Is it really that bad? I think that "Judas" and "You And I" are easily worse than this. Ugh when I first heard the lyrics they were such a turn off. I really don't like when artists talk about loving the fame & stuff like that, even if they don't mean it in the way it comes off. Also, can anyone understand what the heck she is saying in the chorus? There's like 3 different lines going on there and impossible to decipher. Other than that I actually do like it...although I don't understand why she thinks she's super innovative. This sounds like something that would've been on The Fame. I sure can't understand it. It sounds like some sort of multi-layered mess. I can make out a few things, but by and large I can't figure out the lyrics in the chorus. You're right about this sounding like something from The Fame, and it makes sense that she's going this route. While I preferred the Born This Way sound, this sound is what made her famous.

I think the chorus should have been instrumental. It'd be a nice spot to put in a breakdown or something. It's what the song needs.

She's been losing sales for 12 hours straight now. and from kworbs twitter Kworb @kworb Looks like Roar will sell about 500k first week and Applause a little north of 200k (in the US) twitter.com/Kworb/statuses/367680080799358976

What did Lady GaGa do to have "bad karma" of any kind? I sure can't understand it. It sounds like some sort of multi-layered mess. I can make out a few things, but by and large I can't figure out the lyrics in the chorus. You're right about this sounding like something from The Fame, and it makes sense that she's going this route. While I preferred the Born This Way sound, this sound is what made her famous. I think the chorus should have been instrumental. It'd be a nice spot to put in a breakdown or something. It's what the song needs. I agree. It would give the song an extra element, and make it stand out.

Remind me to never go into the Applause thread on Pulse or Popjustice. It's full of dipshits, idiots and deluded people.

The video is out:
Probably my least favorite video from her so far. Though I gotta say, it's very Madonna-like and most people will probably enjoy it.

Debuts at #6 on the Hot 100. Sales figures are not out.
UPDATE: At No. 3 is the second debut of the week: Lady Gaga arrives with "Applause." It sold 218,000 downloads in its opening frame and marks her 13th top 10 hit on the Digital Songs chart.

I don't mind this but her desperation and attention seeking is yet again turning me off. Also, I know Perez Hilton is an ass and not exactly the best source, but I want to know whose careers she tried to sabotage

This third wind it's getting is due to payola/incentive based plays. Every Clear Channel owned station on the panel is partaking in a promotion this last week where you can win a copy of ARTPOP before it's out thus the trade off is increased spins, especially convincing since it's burn % went up 34% in the next RTA numbers.
Nice to see Gaga buying plays like she did with BTW.

There's nothing impressive about passing a song with a -1068.

Nice to see Gaga buying plays like she did with BTW. It's still top 10 in overall callout scores so people are still receptive to it getting played. These past few weeks have been awfully strange though. One week it starts losing audience and continues to gain spins, the next it stalls and gets massive audience impression updates and then it changes back and forth. This is one of her strangest runs ever. On a positive note, it's moving back up on iTunes.
