Radio Praises New Katy Perry, Lady Gaga Singles
Perry's 'Roar' and Lady Gaga's 'Applause' have blasted into the Pop Songs building chart's top 20, with PDs excited about the superstars' returns
Just as the new tracks from Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are heading for big debuts on Billboard's Digital Songs chart next week, both are in line for lofty moves on the Pop Songs radio airplay chart. As reported yesterday, after less than two days of airplay, Perry's "Roar" blasted onto the Nielsen BDS-based survey at No. 34. On the building Pop Songs chart, whose tracking week began yesterday (Aug. 12) and runs through Sunday night (18), "Roar" is, as of this posting, already up to No. 16. (Highlights of the finlaized chart, including debuts, will post on Billboard.com on Monday, Aug. 19.) Gaga's "Applause," meanwhile, was released yesterday and has quickly joined "Roar" in the top 20, currently ranking at No. 19 on the building tally. (Both songs have received hourly plays on participating Clear Channel Media and Entertainment-owned stations, 'Roar' on Sunday and 'Applause' yesterday.) Pop program directors that are spinning both songs are praising each, although a sample of PDs polled reveals a prediction for greater long-term success for "Roar." "Both songs have been well-received by our audience, but when it comes to social media, Perry’s 'Roar' has garnered more positive response," says Chase Murphy, PD of KXXM San Antonio. "I think, because of its pop appeal and texture, 'Roar' will probably be embraced by more formats and will eventually be heralded as a bigger song than 'Applause'." "So far, listeners have favored the Katy track more, but both songs are getting great reaction," KHOP Stockton, Calif., PD MoJoe Roberts largely echoes. "I think the message in 'Roar' is connecting and resonating more with our female listeners." Still, Roberts says, "The Katy single is phenomenal and the Gaga song is great … and much better than expected. "This is a great way to start off the fall season," Roberts says, alluding to the pending album releases of Perry's "Prism" (Oct. 22) and Gaga's "ARTPOP" (Nov. 11). "Listener reaction has been great on both new releases. I think both stack up well compared to their previous hit singles," assesses WFLZ Tampa, Fla., PD Tommy Chuck. Ultimately, Chuck says, Perry and Gaga releasing buzz-generating tracks simultaneously represents not a battle, but an embarrassment of riches for pop radio. "Anytime we have the opportunity to partner with major artists to create excitement for new music, I think it is a great thing. "If any other major artists want to drop new hit singles, bring it on!"

I'm expecting "Roar" to have great longevity. :)

'ROAR' ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100:
Predicting where "Roar" might end up on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week -- and next week -- is a bit difficult.
The Hot 100 is based on airplay, sales and streaming data, and is compiled every Wednesday. Its airplay tracking week runs from Wednesday through Tuesday, while its sales and streaming tracking week runs from Monday through Sunday.
Based on its initial airplay, "Roar" will likely debut on this week's Hot 100 chart somewhere in the lower quarter of the chart. Then, next week, after its first week of sales and streaming have kicked in, it should jump into the upper reaches of the tally.
Its chart trajectory could mirror that of another recent superstar release: Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." The song debuted on the Aug. 25, 2012-dated Hot 100 at No. 72 from airplay only. The following week, once the song had its first week of sales under its belt, the song zoomed to No. 1.

The percentage share is for overall- so can't really know if 1/5 of a particular track's overall total would come from Amazon.

Latest update from Kworb shows "Applause" decreased a bit from 0.6254 to 0.6130, could it be peaking in the 60s? "Roar" dark green again!

Is it practically a given that this will be the second highest female debut of all time? The highest after Taylor is Born This Way with 448k, if I'm not mistaken, and I think this will get 500k at least now.

QUEEN KATY BETTA SLAY! =) no cheap gimmicks This just makes me smirk. The idea that Katy is any less gimmicky than Gaga just shows who is in greater favor with the public/Pulse's lastest misunderstood buzz word. Katy's gimmicks just don't rub people the wrong way in the way Gaga's do, but both of them play the pop game with nearly unmatched ferocity. And if these are the results, why shouldn't they?

I don't have a dog in this fight but I love me a DIVA wig snatching "fight". One just reeks of desperation while the other is flawless. Queen Katy is a playa for real!!

You know how people say there's room for everyone, do you think that the success of Katy's song might not allow for Applause to reach its full potential. Might there only be one true 'winner' here?

You know inside ..this is a very bitter pill for GaGa to take...the media will be all over this the next several weeks...but the fact remains...Roar is simply a better song then Applause..and Katy simply has that magic touch on the Hot 100 that Madonna and Whitney had in the 80's...and Madonna and Mariah did in the 90's...and RiRi has now...anit no stopping this girl.....I expect Roar to hit #1 and hold off applause or any other single for a while.

Had Gaga waited a week to release to iTunes she would've had her a #1 single. I think releasing early didnt work for her on a number of levels. It put Katy and Gaga fans against each other and their fans have overlap. Its bad for the industry to have released early like she did. Now there is a risk that gaga fans wont buy Katys material and vice versa. Not smart on Gaga's part. The best thing these two could do is band together even more.

Now there is a risk that gaga fans wont buy Katys material and vice versa. Not smart on Gaga's part. The best thing these two could do is band together even more. Gaga was in a position that she had to release it early because it was leaking, not as a whole but in bits and pieces, enough to satisfy the curiosity of people who might not have streamed or purchased the single a week later. Many of us who hear the leaked snippets weren't fond of the song and it wasn't until it was fully released did the positive response come out. I think had the original plan gone off, the leak would be out there and potential sales and streams would go along with it, lessening the total sales/streams that it would have gotten without any leak. They were against the wall and they had to act. Personally, I think if given the choice, Gaga should have waited too because it does make her look bad to have had the single rush released out but then there's the decision to be made. Face the music of Katy and release the same day as her, or face the loss that would come with the leak. Whatever the decision was, it was out of Applause's favour and people would be harping on her team for not releasing when they did.

One look at GaGa's twitter and you can see her teams almost desperate attempt for people to buy the single. She's basically asking her fans that if you can prove that you spent more money than any other fan but in a super creative way, you'll get rewarded. Seems a bit cheap to me. *Still waiting for TechHaus to collect my data.
