It may seem like Lady Gaga's "Applause" (rushed into release after a low-quality mp3 leaked onto the Internet) is getting trounced by Katy Perry's "Roar" on the charts. But the ARTPOP diva took to Twitter to let her loyal army of Little Monsters know it's all in their heads.
First, the flopsayers:
I don't want Applause to flop :(

"Applause is AWFULause" flop — zeke 11/11 (@lordoflhant) August 10, 2013

#Applause will not have good radio play, it will flop in 2weeks.

Lady Gaga stepped in:
We are so happy! RT @celebrategaga: On iTunes WW. Lady Gaga is #1 artist, ARTPOP is #1 album, Applause is #1 music single. Congrats!! — Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) August 15, 2013
Saying that the song is Number 1 worldwide is not a concession Gaga would have had to make in the past. It may not bode well for Gaga's upcoming album. However, Gaga did remind us all of this:
My new single 'Applause' does not OFFICIALLY impact US radio until 8/19 so THANK YOU SO MUCH to all the stations who are adding it early!
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) August 15, 2013
And one Twitterer put the whole thing in perspective:
I mean Applause is flopping for Gaga her standards, but a lot of artists would love to debut with over 200k — Miley Ray Cyrus (@cntbetamed) August 15, 2013
What do you think? Is "Applause" a flop?
