So recently Lady Gaga released her first single from her new album ARTPOP. "Applause", as it is titled, was deemed by Gaga to be just plain amazing. I, personally, do not think it's that great honestly. She can do better....much better.
The song was actually leaked about a week before it's supposed release date. The Little Monsters went crazy! This After weeks of annoying promo tweets, Gaga premiered her video in Times Square. As cool as it sounds, it's not really all that creative. Many other artists have done that. *Cough cough* Madonna *cough* But when the video finally premiered, it received lackluster reviews. Even her Little Monsters didn't seem too excited because the video didn't have the best view count or iTunes sales either.
In a not-so-subtle attempt to boost video views and increase sales, Lady Gaga offered her fans rewards for multiple views or iTunes downloads of Applause.
Gaga even tried to scam the charts by tweeting a link to a playlist with about 9 hours of her Applause on repeat:
Billboard now accepts YouTube and Vevo views for their charts. Gaga tried as hard as she could to climb up the charts by using YouTube views. She basically just offered her fans the opportunity to view her video 150 times with that one link. She tweeted the link to her Little Monsters and asked them to pass it on which basically enables them to play the playlist on a tab, put it on silent, leave the computer, and do whatever they choose while still inflating the number of views of her Vevo page, which will help her chart higher on Billboard’s Hot 100 next week.
Billboard's editorial director, Bill Werde found out about the scam and had some words for her. Of course he didn't have the actual balls to say it @ Gaga but he still tweeted it.

Gaga soon deleted her tweet.
