Lady Gaga pushed the release of new electropop single "Applause" forward six days than its originally scheduled Aug. 19 date, combating the Aug. 12 release of Katy Perry's single "Roar." Both songs served early releases due to internet leaks. Perry's "Roar" leaked Aug. 10, sending it to an immediate radio release, though maintaining its Aug. 12 download date, while Gaga's "Applause" received snippet leaks the same day as Perry's. Mother Monster tweeted Aug. 12, "DUE TO HACKERS AN ABUNDANCE OF LOW/HIGH QUALITY LEAKS...WE ISSUE THIS POP MUSIC EMERGENCY...MONSTERS SPREAD THE WORD." The song was available for download Aug. 13. A video for "Applause" is planned for its original Aug. 19 release. Hot 100 tallies for the ladies' singles this week will be revealed this evening when results from all charts will be grouped. Next week will give both singles a first full week of reading, though.
Perry's new album Prism is due out October 22, while Gaga's ARTPOP is slated for November 11, but who's to say that won't unfairly change?
