This should very wel be in the top 20 by the next update, perhaps top 15.
This song is 100x more memorable than Applause, I can remember this song after first listen, Applause is like remembering a bunch of video game music.

Yep, it's so easy to remember "Roar", because you heard that song so many times. 8D (chuckle)

I honestly didn't think of Brave when I first heard Roar. Or the second time. Not until I read about the comparison. I think the comparison is valid but I think it's being overblown.

I didn't say it wasn't good. I love Brave, so i will like Roar for sure (apart of the fact that i usually like Katy's singles). I didn't heard Applause yet, so i can't judge. Katy's song are usually instant catchy. It's the burn factor the one that will make the difference between a hit (right now it's almost impossible for Katy not having a hit, specially if it's the first single of a new album) and a smashing success

It's the burn factor the one that will make the difference between a hit (right now it's almost impossible for Katy not having a hit, specially if it's the first single of a new album) and a smashing success I think it'll be the burn factor that hurts this song, to be honest. I think with the album release two months away, they'll have to issue a second single before the album and focus completely on that because by the time the album comes out, Roar will be worn and interest will have waned a bit, thus making the album have lower opening week numbers than anticipated. Katy's singles usually have long lives on radio but a radio hit for Katy doesn't translate into easy sales. I'd say push out a highly promoted second single a week or two before the album's release in an effort to get those high first week numbers.

So your opinion = not valid. And Applause is not a bunch of video game music!

These are the moments when Capitol should be very careful just in case some people try to mysteriously remove "Roar" from itunes. I mean you never know.

I listened again with the lyric video (can't decide if it's super cute or super pandering, but I think Katy thrives on that line so w/e), and I thought it got stuck in my head. But I was just singing "Brave," and ended up buying that lulz. ...but, honestly, given time, I don't think this will be far behind. And now that I've been listening to "Brave" since yesterday, "Roar" is now stuck in my head. brb headed to iTunes.

I haven't heard "Brave" until people mention "Roar" was similar so thanks to Katy I found that new Sara Bareilles single and it's cool as well! also "Roar" will probably be 20x times bigger than "Brave" I think. I'm sure most people/GP did not know that, come on "Brave" was/is not a big hit, just top 15 on HAC so far, the ones that were nitpicking the most were little monsters and of course some chart-watchers in forums. So how long/many hours did "Roar" take to dethrone the mega-radio, multi-format smash "Blurred Lines" on iTunes? 8 hours? This is such a smash, dayum at that pop update.

"Roar" will probably be 20x times bigger than "Brave" At least, sadly.
