She's FINALLY up in the UK
Single bought and album preordered

Was a fucking pain trying to find it though, they don't make it easy

I know, I had to scroll through 42 different karaoke album before I found it. And even then I only found it because the button was orange. ;_;

Kiiiii
She has like 350 songs on UK itunes and applause/artpop was sitting it's ass right at the bottom. Ain't nobody got time for that
edit; this taco bell advert. Fast food places do steak in the us?
 
I'm honestly surprised at how positive the reception has been for Applause. I was expecting another polarizing BTW-level release, where the fans love it but most of the general public chides it. This time it seems that even non-pop fans are enjoying it for what it is. I can't say the same about Roar at this point. It seems Gaga struck a perfect balance between sounding different but not too radical. Roar on the other hand is exactly what everyone expected.

Anecdotal, but people of all ages on my feed are digging it which is quite refreshing. I am fairly certain that most of the critics are divided on it still - most of which who are negative on it however seem to vastly prefer Aura/Burqa/Awrah so at least it's a win for Gaga either way lol
 
Digital Sales, USA - Last 24 hours:

1) Katy Perry, Roar: 87,192
2) Lady Gaga, Applause: 44,075

Applause being out half as long with half the sales... seems like they're performing similarly then, right?
 
I don't know why they released two versions - there aren't even any expletives in the song as far as I can tell :/

I think there's just two versions of the album, the single is the same either way...

I think Applause is at a disadvantage right now because iTunes seems to be promoting the ALBUM first, plus downloading Applause with a pre-order doesn't count for single sales. Considering that ARTPOP is sitting at number two right now tells me that there are a lot of unaccounted Applause sales today. Too bad.

The pre-orders do count apparently, a lot of the fansites managed to clock that tea earlier today. I just don't think it has the momentum right now.

Anyway, I was listening to Roar again to see if maybe I missed something. I didn't. But I found this.

I don't know if you guys ever tried this, but Stuart Price really did a good job remixing Part Of Me and making it bearable tbh

Well Gaga's were in the middle of the night, while Katy's includes the afternoon.

I fully expect Gaga to outsell her by 50-100k or so.

Hmmmm this is interesting. Wait.how do you find these numbers?

I don't know. Both Roar and Applause doesn't do it for me but I will be actively watching Hypem for remixes. I can't do the songs in there normal format. Applause is too loud. I have SOL Republic's and listening to Applause, there was so much Highs, that all her mids in her vocals was drowned. It sounded soo washed out like it needed to be bumped up a couple of Hz just to hear her.

Roar on the other hand is the opposite. I think the beat for me just falls flat. Since that is usually what initially gets me into the song, it was so dry. There was a build but it did that sliding affect that I hate. however I hate drops more so I can accept it in a way. So, I'm definitely waiting for a Remix for both. I'm hoping one of my fav DJ's can work some magic for me so I can appreciate the songs in a different format.

Anything interesting happening or is it the same shit?

I'm only here for album news / track info tbh

They've only just started (I think, the player wasn't working properly in chrome) and they're playing ha song again. He said he's got a long list of stuff to ask her about the album though and that will be the focus of the interview

Gaga claims she has been rehearsing for months and months for the VMA performance, and that she can "rotate her hip / legs" better since she broke her hip.

She also said there was one person who is happier with her being more mobile with her hip.

Katy should open the VMAs and Gaga should close. Would be a great start and finish
 
I love that gloomy sounding guitar strum permeating through Roar. And then the additional production on the last chorus transforming it to make it sound uplifting. For the first time in a long time...well done, fluke.

Bless, this is one of my favourite parts too. The transformation of that part during the middle 8 is jusT

And the glissando bass too. The production is on point. Remember when everyone thought Roar would sound like a Warrior reject?

Botty you better attend the ARTRAVE

EDIT: Bless she's paying respects to Biophilia. But she want's to provide something different to Bjork did (and Johnny Cash whoever that is. >_>)

App includes a DJ Engineering System (Trackstar) and an Art Engineering System (ArtHaus)

ArtHaus lets you make your own sculptures. Trackstar lets you make your own music by "just painting it"

Everything is shareable via the app. There will be "exhibitions" for your creations too.
