A single that peaked at #4 and spent 14 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Hot 100 was anything but a dud. Ok, there was all that Applause vs Roar drama in the beginning, but anyone who thinks Applause was a flop just because it didn't hit #1 doesn't know anything about charts.

It was a flop, based on all the hypr that it was riding! Gypsy would have done far better. Now Applause is just remembered for being trounced by a far better song.

Should not have been lead single and should not close the album either in my opinion. I.. enjoy it but don't LOVE it~ the video is great though, it's just the song doesn't excite me as much as she is capable of.

Applause was definitely not a flop and was the only possible option for ARTPOP's lead single. The album doesn't have any other radio-friendly songs besides Applause and DWUW. G.U.Y. is ok but had no radio spot in 2014.

Applause is so euphoric and infectious for me. It's classic Gaga and I loved all the performances for it. I still go back and watch the VMA, GMA and SNL ones every few months. A perfect song, a perfect single and a decent hit in hindsight. I always wished this was performed at the Super Bowl over Telephone because that way all of her studio albums would've had a song each (at least) and plus without Beyonce, what's the point of Telephone on that main stage. Anyways, happy birthday Applause! LOVE YOU!!

G.U.Y is trash.
These arw the songs that work as singles: Gypst, by far the biggest and most accessible hit DWUW Sexx Dreams with a verse rework ARTPOP as the ballad Applause to finish the era 5 singles from.a bad album. Not bad |

Applause is currently her 13th most streamed track on a daily basis on Spotify (Above Alejandro among others) so it's really become a staple in her discography. I think it's solid and the best first single from the album. The video is amazing!

A slightly reworked 'Sexxx Dreams' (with as much fire as the iTunes fest performance had) would have been a BLAZING first single 🔥
Also I think 'Gypsy' would have been an ideal single in the new year to keep the album selling (in a more smoothly run era), rather than a lead single. I guess we'll never know what could've been though! |

Perfect day for a milestone! I wonder what her full US certifications look like now. I guess we won't know until Interscope update it in 2043.
