I still hear roar everywhere 💀

applause is an incredible pop song

I don't listen to either in 2026

that's a nice anecdote, doesn't answer the question though

OT: Applause by light years (so it's not even close)

Applause then and now.

I prefer applause now tbh. Roar was too overplayed it's tired

Roar is a better song and more popular, the fact the song is still playing on radio once in a while is insane.

Then and now Applause all the way

I stanned Katy during TD and then Roar came out

Quality: Applause, Popularity: Roar

Always has been

Roar was gigantic. But it plays automatically for new users on apple music, YouTube and Spotify. I recently got apple music for Mayhem Requiem. I had only listened to Mayhem Requiem once and the next song to play after album ended on AM was roar. Not even another gaga song. Roar. Not just for me, for all of my few friends who bought AM last week.

I always create new Spotify free account with new Zealand location to listen to albums before it lands on my region. After album finishes, either Roar or DH plays. Roar and DH were always pushed to new and existing since 2013/14.

My parents don't understand English and mostly watch religious videos, but every now and then Roar/DH plays for both of them 🤣.

OT:Roar was gigantic but basic, not really a good song (WOA/LL should have been lead single). But Applause has always been a 10/10 song since day 1.

Applause was always the better song.

This topic is tired asf

Both are mid tbh.

DWUW and Walking On Air >>

Edited May 24May 24 by A Million Lights

applause was always the better song and that's not going to change.

roar is a bad song even for katy's standards

Neither tbh

DWUW > Applause and Dark Horse > Roar

I don't think most people past the age of 12 like Roar

Both underwhelming when compared to their previous work.

Applause >>> Brave >>>> Roar

Roar is a cheap brave knock off

Applesauce is a classic

Applause, but only because Roar is one of the worst songs ever conceived.

Walking On Air >>>>
