First Week Glory: Lady GaGa’s ‘Applause’ Eyes Half A Million

Published: Thursday 15th Aug 2013 by David

If you consider yourself a Lady GaGa ‘hater‘, we’d urge you to stop reading this article…like now.

For, in continuing to render her naysayer’s criticisms of her fruitless, the Pop Queen is on course to kick off a winning streak sure to put all of her contemporaries to complete shame.

Good news below…

After being released to retailers on August 13th, her infectious new single ‘Applause’ has shifted enough units already to guarantee it a Top 3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

More importantly, the momentum generated by its arrival and the undying support of buying public will see the single surpass sales of 400,000 and speed its way to 500,000 unit mark- according to predictions published by Billboard!

Likely to match or better the 448,000 units shifted by 2011’s ‘Born This Way’, GaGa’s explosive debut will come three months before the November 21st arrival of ‘ARTPOP‘, her hotly anticipated third studio album!

Billboard explained:

“On Monday, Aug. 12, there were early indications that both “Roar” and “Applause” could sell over 400,000 downloads.”
