I need a Roar/Heart Attack (by Demi Lovato) mash-up recorded by Demi RIGHT NAO! Ever since I recovered from the first 20 back-to-back plays of Roar I have you make me roooooooooooooooar stuck in my head all day.

I honestly wonder if Gaga ever imagined that this song would eclipse hers. I have a feeling that she thought she would steal Katy's thunder, but it looks like that's not happening during the opening week of their songs.

I don't think gaga would try to steal Katy's thunder at her own expense. She knows Katy churned out five number one singles at her last go around and would most likely lead

This song is amazingly catchy, fun, and fresh! Katy is the queen of excelling at keeping things simple, lighthearted, and timely - everything I want from a pop star. So glad to see this song smashing so hard so early on. Sometimes it can be difficult to predict a song's future, but I think it's safe to say this will end up being one of the biggest hits of the year and ensure Prism opens bigger than Teenage Dream did. Katy's ability to deliver what her fans want from her will ensure her star does not fade anytime soon. I know I shouldn't set my expectations too high because often that leads to disappointment, but I hope Katy has a wealth of hits and tricks up her sleeze from the upcoming album to keep me jamming for a few years!

I think people are giving this song too much credit. This is like Katy's born this way. First single following a massive massive era for her, bigger than the era gaga had right before born this way. Katy could fart and it would go to number one right now

Katy could fart and it would go to number one right now Successful first singles are never assured, just big openings. The last sentence of your posts is not dissimilar to what people were saying about Kelly Clarkson at the start of 2007, and we know what happened there.

Roar AC 13 Hot AC 250 Radio Disney 2 Rhythmic 99 Top 40 745 Total: 1109 I can't remember any song getting 745 spins on pop radio in one day without radio deal. Holy moly. I think Britney was doing similarly with HIAM. Also Gaga when the BTW deal finished.

Britney was pulling +500-600's if I recall. Then again what we're seeing now could be equivalent since there were less stations on the panel then.

I guess we can say Katy's current gains are relative to Britney's. I'd keep an eye on her second week though, even if they're small losses if Katy's not getting 800+ spins per day in her second week she'll be having the same kind of prolonged '8th Day Effect' as Born This Way did.

Had Lady Gaga not come out so soon Katy probably could be getting bigger gains.

Cute lyric video, indeed. Is that her in the video, or just a stand-in?

First post in this thread! I'm in loooooooove with this song. RAWR! I like Applause too, but this one takes the catnip. However, I find it hilarious how the Pulse MO is to make sweeping over-generalizations based on...one song? One 5 second snippet? One promo image? C'mon now, Roar being a smash in no way guarantees another huge era. Hello, Die Young? (Don't get me wrong, I hope it signifies that, but I think after all these years playing the Pulse game, we'd all be a bit wiser.) The last chorus makes me feel stronger, stand a little taller.

O/T: does anyone know how much Born This Way would have sold had its debut week fallen during a full charting week (in other words, what did it sell in its first seven days)? I wanna know what sales Roar is capable of.

Hearing this on the radio for the first time. Sounds like it's spun from gold.

moore- one can only speculate based on the two figures of 448K (first three days) and 509K (the seven days that followed).

I have to say - I am a much bigger fan of Gaga, but the new Perry song has much more appeal than Applause now that I've let both sink in. I find myself wanting to listen to Roar much more than Applause.

Love #ROAR I want Blurred Lines to stay on top of the Hot 100 for 17 weeks (just to break Mariah's record), then Roar replaces BL to be the new #1 then a few weeks later Give It 2 U becomes #1

I'm so proud of Katy, fighting off Gags' bombs and her blows and still reigning supreme on iTunes and radio. Queen Katy! :'(

I'm behind. Did this have a radio deal at all? Was it only Sunday?
