Lady Gaga vs. Katy Perry, but what about Miley Cyrus?

The already awaited battle head-to-head of Lady Gaga’s Applause and Katy Perry’s Roar has been decided by the public, Billboard charts, and YouTube views just recently. The made battle was not intended by both artists but the timeliness of their comebacks were impeccable so fans couldn’t miss a chance to make a showdown of the two.

Since early in the year both artists have been hinting towards their comebacks to the public. Lady Gaga tweeted lyrics to her Applause and uploaded pictures of ARTPOP very early in the year, while Katy Perry posted four teasers prior to the release of Roar.

Gaga’s Applause was intended to be released on mainstream airplay on August 19, 2013 but was sadly rushed into release when two-snippets of her song were leaked online. In a potential song-leak, Gaga released Applause two weeks earlier than intended, on August 12, 2013.

Compared to Applause, Perry’s Roar had its official radio debut on August 10, 2013 and was available on iTunes two days later on August 12, 2013. A lyric video came out first on YouTube while the Official Music Video followed a couple weeks after.

In the end, leaks or not, both videos had positive critics and comments although Gaga fans had a mixed bag of thoughts towards her Applause. Settling the comments aside, both YouTube views have escalated as Gaga’s Applause has more than 55 million views while Perry’s Roar has almost 68 million views. Both have been welcomed by their fans while the battle has subsided, but who do you think is the winner in your own eyes? The fabulous ARTPOP comeback of Lady Gaga and Applause or simple yet catchy return of Katy Perry and Roar?

Although people were busy concentrating on the comeback of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, another press-worthy artist dominated the web in a matter of weeks with her song Wrecking Ball, Miley Cyrus. Yes, the head-to-head battle was exciting between both Gaga and Perry, but it could not compare to the controversy created by Miley Cyrus and her emotional yet risqué music video of Wrecking Ball.

Recorded for her fourth upcoming studio album, The Bangerz, Wrecking Ball was released as a music download on August 25, 2013 and as a radio hit just this mid-September worldwide. It charted as number 50 on The Billboard Hot 100 just in one day and 44 on the Canadian Hot 100 although it wasn’t released as a single yet back then. The official music video was uploaded on September 9, 2013 on Miley Cyrus’s VEVO.

Miley Cyrus definitely broke records on YouTube as during the first 24 hours of availability Wrecking Ball already gained 19.3 million views, breaking the previous record held by One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” which held 12.3 million views. Wrecking Ball reached 100 million views just a mere six days later and holds more than 112 million views up to date.

Whether you are a ‘Little Monster’, ‘KatyCat’ or a ‘Smiler’, these three artists are definitely sensational and the current trends of the music industry and entire web. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus are always grateful for all of their supporters and fans, so continue to show your love and support for them!
