Beyonce Snips Her Way To ‘Social 50’ Glory / Lady GaGa Scores British ‘Applause’

Published: Sunday 18th Aug 2013 by David

Believe it or not, only hours separate the world from the release of Lady GaGa‘s video for ‘Applause‘, her smash hit new single.

Before that, the ‘Starstruck’ siren and her ‘Telephone’ sister Beyonce will be pleased to learn of good news that heads their way by way of the charts.

Want to be in the know?

Meet us below!

After sharing snaps of her revamped look here, Beyonce found herself soaring to the Social heavens with gains on all social media platforms.

To be specific, now more than two days after the images were uploaded, the star welcomed 199,000 new followers on Instagram and a total of 653,000 new fans on Twitter and Facebook, resulting in a 119% fan acquisition increase!

Laying the foundation for her forthcoming single, her increased (and fruitful) use of social media comes as she watches searches for her name and material rise on Google and Youtube as anticipation for the release heightens.

Important, as the inclusion of streams to Billboard chart positions will give her material no choice but to enjoy impressive and consistent chart runs, following the success of Ciara’s ‘Body Party‘ which continues to grace the Top 40 thanks to digits generated by paid for downloads and streams.

Meanwhile, while Katy Perry‘s ‘Roar’ sits outside the iTunes UK Top 40, Lady GaGa’s ‘Applause‘ now sits at #6 on the very same chart, sure to enjoy a similar spot when the overall tally is released tonight.

    • TruthSpeaks August 18, 2013

      I love thatgrapejuice.com but I wish they would stop posting Beyonce stuff that are irrelevant. I am a Beyhive and I’m still waiting patiently for a new single to be released. PS-Queen Bey always looks flawless 🙂

    Beyonce <3<3<3 Te amo baby 🙂

  5. Wtf August 18, 2013

    Awful “journalism” katy hasn’t even been released in the uk yet. Beyonce hasn’t had a hit for 5 years and applause is performing “okay”.

    • ItsCheryl2bh August 18, 2013

      It doesn’t matter. Katy is number 46 and Gaga is number 6.

      • T***** CACA August 18, 2013

        H** it’s not even officially released, those are pre-orders. Where is Cheryl’s career?

    • RiriSupreme August 18, 2013

      I was about to agree with you until I checked for myself. Katy isn’t in the top fourty there.

    • king b August 18, 2013

    • Third Ward Trill (aka quetta) August 18, 2013

      When were we praising YouTube views?? Ill wait while you search for lies. And no hive is praising social media.

    • Beyhive August 18, 2013

      Girl you know damn well the other day the hive was saying we, nor beyonce care about YouTube hits,

  10. JER August 18, 2013

    BeYAWNce: known for everything but music these days. Too bad she can’t rock the iTunes Top 50

    • . : : h 2 o : : . August 18, 2013

      As much as I hate to say it, I don’t see any lies.

      • JER August 18, 2013

        Right? Ch…. where’s my lead single?

    • Tash August 18, 2013

      Well considering she hasn’t officially released anything. Its inevitable.

  11. Brazilian Beyonce!!! August 18, 2013

    The Hive is no where to be seen.. We are not even celebrating.. People are too thirsty here and they want attention from the BEYHIVE .. I see you b**** 🙂

  12. JJFan1814 August 18, 2013

    She never cut her hair!!! She just simply pulled that lacefront off, showed the world her natural hair, and replace it with another weave chile….

    Cause aint no way in hell, that cockatoo crown hairdo done and growed 5 damn inches within a weeks time. And even if she tried to straighten it with a curling iron (considering the shortness of its length) it still wouldn’t be that damn long!

    • Daniel Teflon August 18, 2013

      & im wondering why u say that now?….NO-ONE FROM THE HIVE CARES YOUR DISMISSED NOW THANKS!!

  13. Tash August 18, 2013

  14. Brazilian Beyonce!!! August 18, 2013

    Currently getting Life from APPLAUSE!!!

    • Third Ward Trill (aka quetta) August 18, 2013

      I don’t really like it. It would have to grow on me.

      • Brazilian Beyonce!!! August 18, 2013

        The VMAs will be a banger with this song.. Keep listening to it. Its Hot! I’m inlove

    • T***** CACA August 18, 2013

      h** you have low standards, that trash is awful.

  15. Brazilian Beyonce!!! August 18, 2013

    “Roar>>Applause”… That Katy Stan Lol … This Cake Like Gaga idiot should be busy dragging the s*** out of the stan but here it is trying to get attention from the Hive.. While Applause is falling of the Top 10.. Go and purchase it and stop worrying about the BEYHIVE

  16. rih rox(Rihanna forever) August 18, 2013

    What’s the point in having twitter, Facebook, IG when she doesn’t follow anybody and does not communicate with her fans? They even delete comments on her IG…. you have to be sucking her b*** if not, your comments will be gone within 10-20 minutes.

    • Krissy August 18, 2013

      So you follow on IG then? I like her IG and her Tumblr as a real FAN. So f*** off because you aint a fan so don’t worry them.

      • Krissy August 18, 2013

        ***worry about them

    • Beyhive August 18, 2013

      That’s not just on BEYONCES Page, that’s on every popular persons page, they delete comments automatically, she doesn’t. Not everyone thrives off of social media attention like your fave.

  17. rih rox(Rihanna forever) August 18, 2013

    Why was she and Gayz in Miami??? Whatever happened to Trayvon Martin????

    • Miss M August 18, 2013

      Rihanna was there too.

  18. . : : h 2 o : : . August 18, 2013

    If only she had SOME music out earlier this year along with these big Box Office tour and movie numbers, power rankings, huge deals, TV/Twitter/internet records, photoshoots, commercials, deals …..

    It’s like when you keep eating the icing forever, only to find there’s no cake under there ……….

  19. rih rox(Rihanna forever) August 18, 2013

    She doesn’t have a new look its the same wig from her Pepsi add.

  20. weberics August 18, 2013

    the nayy, katy cats, monsters, beyhive, lambs! your faves are nothing compare to Marianne Weber!! heeeuuujjj snapte, verrekte gek, stelletje mongolen, gullie sporen geen alle

    • BEYHIVE_MINAJ August 18, 2013

      Who?

  21. Krissy August 18, 2013

    The only thing that can save Gaga is the VMAS. And once the Novelty wears off with that… I wonder…
    I always said she peaked too early.

    • BEYHIVE_MINAJ August 18, 2013

      Peaked? B****,please

  22. Diamond Navy August 18, 2013

    GAGA SUCKS SHES SO 2011 UGH WITH HER UGLY T***** SELF!!!

    • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

      She´s so 2011?
      Weren´t people saying she was so 2009 in 2011? LOL

      • Diamond Navy August 18, 2013

        EXACTLY WHY BTW FLOPPED COMPARED TO HER OTHER ALBUM. THE T***** IS DATED AF EVERY ERA.

    • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

      So in your opinion Gaga is always flopping right? LOL
      How should we call Rihanna´s albums then? 🙂 People who stan for basic b****** are so damn delusional it isn´t funny. People need more education.

      • T***** CACA August 18, 2013

        CACA IS A BASIC B**** TOO. GENERIC DANCE SONGS WITH RETDARDING HOOKS AND MEANINGLESS LYRICS ARE BASIC THING YET YOU CALL RIHANNA GENERIC AND BASIC. RATED R IS MORE MATURE THAN ANYTHING DADDY GAYGAY HAS DONE/WILL DO. GO GET YOUR EDUCATION YOU SMELLY B****.

      • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

        @desperate t*****
        So you have zero arguments I see. Weren´t we talking about “flops” in this comment? Why didn´t you give your opinion on how should we call Rihanna´s albums if Gaga´s are flops? LOL

      • Daniel Teflon August 18, 2013

        It amazes me that folks go for Ri-Whine-A her voice isn’t the business AT ALL SHES GOATISH~ her song writer is making a lot of money off of her!! cuz her voice isn’t in the business of sales!!

  23. JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

    So now not having a #1 single on the laughable single charts we have nowadays is being a flop? How about album sales? Touring numbers? Respect? Talent? And if you go by singles what about having the #1 single worldwide? (not that I´ve even checked, so I could be wrong, I read it in some comments here in TGJ).
    Damn these kids really think Katy Perry is amazing… LOL
    Btw I can´t wait for my faves to release their albums: Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and I´m very interested in John Legend´s new album too. We´ll see about Shania, and of course Gaga could be really enjoyable, although I´m more into Born This Way album than into what she seems to be readying now, more a la The Fame.

    • T***** CACA August 18, 2013

      H** HUSH!!!!!!!! CACA IS FAILING LIKE A ROCK ON ITUNES. AND WHO RESPECTS HER? LOOOOOOOOOL THE H** IS A CLOWN WHO WEARS WEIRD COSTUMES TO BE NOTICED. SHE USES GIMMICKS TO SELL SO SHE IS FAR FROM RESPECTED.
      AND ALL OF THOSE IRRELEVANT PEOPLE WITH BORING MUSIC *YAWN*. GO WORRY ABOUT BEAUTIFUL, IT IS STRUGGLING OUTSIDE OF ANGLOPHONE COUNTRIES. BORN THIS WAY WAS GENERIC DANCE TRASH ALBUM, ALL SONGS WERE TERRIBLE.

      • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

        Definitely all her fellow musicians respect her more than they respect Katy or Rihanna. Sorry. It´s f****** obvious.

    • Davis August 18, 2013

      Agreed.

      • Daniel Teflon August 18, 2013

        TOTALLY AGREED!!..:)

    • Molly August 18, 2013

      Gurl GaGa supposed to be the bigget pop star in the world yet Katy Perry is slaying her Im the US Katys still at number 1 while GaGa bout to be out the top 10 on itunes

      • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

        Most big artists shine more for their album sales and talent than for their success on singles charts, except for the first part of their career (and I said most). Mariah Carey is a wonderful exception (there are a few others).

  24. xedos August 18, 2013

    why would people follow beyonce on social media ? she doesn’t talk to her fans. she only communicate when she have s*** to sell.

    • Krissy August 18, 2013

      Beyonces handling of social media is just fine. Don’t worry about it. She has a personal blog for the beyhive on her website, her Tumblr and IG that is used in her own way. Theres a reason people prefer Beyoncé to the likes of Rihanna and vice versa. Not everyone needs their fave to scream I love you on Twitter all the time and then conk them in the heads at shows.

      • Daniel Teflon August 18, 2013

        OH SO TRUE! BEYONCE IS RnB QUEEN!!

    • Davis August 18, 2013

      Not true.

  25. Davis August 18, 2013

    The b****** on this site are so BASIC. They define success by having a hit on the 100.

  26. True Talent (Formerly Lil Mo’s fake stan) Stan and Trey Burke’s husband (Kendricks d*** game wasnt on point, so I divorced that a**)) August 18, 2013

    Yes tea, yes shade, but when are you little f**** gonna realize beyonce is trolling us all? She’s not putting out an album. Shes NOT gonna have another era, and shes NOT gonna fix her “halo”tosis inducing tonsilitis breath. I used to fux with bey after her Slay-perbowl performance, but im over snippetyonce. I wouldn’t be surprised if grown woman was actually an axed Snippet-Single from 4. Trollyonce has the hive so fooled! She has like 5 tweets, never even interviews anymore, and generally doesn’t care about her fans! Like, im really b*** hurt cuz I loved her, but I won’t support a woman who charges 400 for a concert ticket without even releasing new music nor even address her fans without a contrived ass open letter ! She doesn’t like her fans, so f*** beyonce! 4 will be my last beyonce album that I buy unless she gets it together!

    -signed
    A pressed ex-beyonce fan!

    • Davis August 18, 2013

      Save the breakdown anyone this pressed by someone not releasing music on time needs to get a life.

    • jabbar Lewis August 18, 2013

      LMAO this made me laugh !!!! DO you know that its called time and effort before releasing new songs !!! ONE she didnt tour off of 4 yet so she needed to that !! Imagine if she would’ve released an album before the tour and she was touring off of new music that no one in heaven knows !! Then the tour wouldve been boring and no one can vibe in the concert !!! TWO beyonce is such an AMAZING entertainer that she can sell her tickets for as much as she wants and people will buy them. Three you’re NOT a fan because if you were you would stick by her side regardless of what she does. She doesn’t need twitter to tell her fans Hello or tell us what she did lastnight ! Why would she have interviews when shes busy performing for sold out shows around the world. She doesn’t have an official release date for anything…. so TELL me why would an interview satisfy you ! SHE LOVES HER FANS however she doesn’t need to tell us that on twitter and letters she is an TRUE artist that tells us that through her music and performances . She doesn’t need to go on twitter like justin and rih to say “I love my beliebers” and “Hey navy” WTF !!! Get real buddy

  27. Iz (Queen Adele) August 18, 2013

    Lady Gs applause in a awful song and sooo late.
    She relies on too many gimmicks to keep people interested.
    But I swear people are already getting sick of the gimmicks too.

  28. Fierce & All- Not here for b****** that can only slay on studios August 18, 2013

    Ummm Gaga definitely has more respect in the industry as a singer than Rihanna. Yes, her crazy costumes overshadow that but no one can deny that she’s talented. Therefore, she is respected. (to that t***** caca person)

    • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

      Obviously Gaga is more respected than Katy Perry and Rihanna since she has discernible talent. She brought back the big videos, she introduced fresh air, and she sings better than those two, and not with all the gimmicks and backtracks the other two use, but with raw vocals in a piano. It´s f****** obvious. And I´m not a fan of Applause since I prefer the Born This Way Gaga than The Fame Gaga, but it is still 10 times better than Roar, that´s laughable.

      • Daniel Teflon August 18, 2013

        I Love Lady GaGa she SERVES!!…:)

      • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 18, 2013

        I don’t really care for either of them but we all know Gaga makes all of her songs and dance records 10 times better live so doesn’t bother me.

  29. fatusankoh August 18, 2013

    omg bey is looking beautiful as always god bless her and her family for life Sam you and this sight gives me life and always make my day the best sight ever

    • . : : h 2 o : : . August 18, 2013

      + long live queen bey

  30. Molly August 18, 2013

    Applause keeps falling down iTunes yall

  31. Lana the legend August 18, 2013

    Summertime sadness is outselling applause in the uk

    • Rosie August 18, 2013

      Australia too.
      Yes Lana. Finish ha like you did with So Legit.

    • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 18, 2013

      SS been out longer h**.

  32. Lana the legend August 18, 2013

    Now little monsters are calling it a buzz single & saying GaGa will release the official first single next month.

  33. Slayty Perry (ROAR) August 18, 2013

    Oh Samantha. You tried. You really did. Roar is not even out in the UK yet. It is only available for pre-order. It would be both sad and embarrassing for Roar to chart higher than Applause with pre-orders alone. But more importantly, how can Miley Cyrus debut at #1 in the UK but Gaga, who is suppose to be one of the biggest pop stars today can’t?

  34. Lovebird (Roar – PRISM – 10.22.13)) August 18, 2013

    Samantha tried to come for Roar when FLOPause is falling harder the Run the world (Girls) on iTunes.

    LMAO I cannot at people hyping Caca up to be this pop mega bomb when she has released the most generic, dated, pointless song out of all the pop girls. And the nerve at trying to come for Rihanna when Rihanna’s Diamonds is way mature than Caca’s entire discography.

    And Katy isn’t even doing the most like Caca and yet she is dragging that wig for the Gods. Killer Queen, yasss.

    • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 18, 2013

      That’s a lie. Diamonds lyrics are basic. Ppl like the song cuz of its great melody and sia’s ear for a hit

  35. Rosie August 18, 2013

    Awfulplause is #7 in the US and in the red on Kworb, lol.
    Some chick called Lorde that’s similar to Lana and Summertime Sadness (with both versions combined) will be outselling her by either tonight or tomorrow, like they’re already doing in almost every other first world country.
    Third World-ga is over.

    • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

      Why are you so hateful? lol I´m not too focused on people´s comments on here unless they come from the 2 or 3 people I like, but I think you loved Gaga like 3 months ago? Should we add you to the bi or tri-polar list of commenters?

      • Rosie August 18, 2013

        I was ready for her a few months ago when she looked like she was getting her s*** together but then she started being a mess again, started trying too hard, and also came out with a TFM/BTW reject. This plus “So Legit” and her annoying/embarrassing stans basically made me jump ship. Thankfully I did so before it was too late, unlike most of the monsters.

      • JOHNVIDAL August 19, 2013

        Why “before it was too late”? LOL So you are not here cos of the music at all are you? Just for what´s more current or cool atm. Sad.

  36. Rosie August 18, 2013

    Even funnier in other countries.
    Getting outsold by my fave, DJ Fresh & Diplo, and about to be surpassed by Sean Paul in the UK.
    Getting outsold by Jason Derulo, Karmin, my fave, Zedd, Avicii and currently out of the top 15 in Australia.
    Down to #4 in Canada.
    Getting outsold by Olly Murs and Capital Cities in Germany.
    About to drop out of the top 10 in France.
    Flopga is finished.

    • JOHNVIDAL August 18, 2013

      Plays Lana del Rey´s “Summertime Sadness”. The original one, that one I loved a year and a half ago and nobody cared about 🙂 She´s so good at making those type of songs.

  37. BEYHIVE_MINAJ August 18, 2013

    Good for her. Let the pressed b****** act like either bey or the hive really care

  38. Starships August 18, 2013

    Well I wouldnt get too happy. I can imagine it will change once the video comes out and she performs it.

  39. Starships August 18, 2013

    Gaga hasnt got a clear channel deal either.

  40. Daniel Teflon August 18, 2013

    Beyoncé’s photo is fierce her eye color serves!!
    Lmao what’s funny is that Beyoncé hasn’t even came out with a New Tune & you Girl’s are so In aww that Yall Getting shitted on even without New Music out!!
    WINNER I’D SAY!!

  41. Oh Yeah!!! August 18, 2013

    Rihanna wish she was Beyonce!
