Applause turns 9 today!

 

Such an underrated track on this forum! I think it’s amongst her best music videos, has several brilliant live performances and worked well as a lead single too! How time has flown!

I really like Applause and consider it as a brilliant first single in her discography (where first singles are usually worse than second lol). It being constantly among her top 10 songs on Spotify is about right.

Awful damp squid of a first single. Shoulda been Gypsy.

It is definitely far far far from my favourite song of hers. I am not a massive fan but it is super fun and I agree the video is fabulous - super camp and vibrant.

This tweet helps understand the chaos of this release and what it meant to her career:

I've also just looked back through the 911 POP EMERGENCY tweets and the release day CARNAGE. It was a total roller coaster.

 

I can't wait to celebrate 10 years next year :arrr:

Imagine having such bad taste and from a Mustin fan too.. please

 

I think you got this one entirely wrong :lol:

Platinum in the UK! :D

Is this coming too

This fourteen-week-in-the-Hot-100-Top-10 single deserves a comeback.

This had its biggest day of the year on Spotify with 182,156 streams this Friday

Another yearly peak: 182,654 Spotify streams

Almost 200k!!

And just over 200k on Wednesday.. smash, Tiktok needs to find this

This doesn't need to take off, when there are about 10 other ARTPOP songs more deserving of doing so x

Especially Jewels N Drugs

+ Aura, Gypsy, MANiCURE, Mary Jane Holland, ARTPOP, Sexxx Dreams and most of all: Dope :'(
