Imagine what her first single off album #3 will do if the 7th single from this era from a re-release can do this

I imagine radio will tire of Katy Perry eventually and boycott her similar to what happened with the Britney era.

But congratulations to Katy I suppose.

I'm talking about singles. Overexposure is the bane of all popstars. The general public isn't here for Katy Perry songs being played on the radio 64687498 every hour... or anybody for that matter, really. It's impressive Katy is managing to pump out all these #1 songs but she won't be able to keep these consecutive hits going forever. It always has to end. Happened with Gaga, etc.

Lol @ billboard.

Last week they said something like this "Katy will sell around 400k copies, I'm a week, something Gaga did in 3 days" now they go again and say "Katy debuts big since Gaga"

Gaga and her non breaking records

That part was about sales. This thread is about it debuting on the Pop Songs chart.

[Remixed]

Nobody will ever beat Born This Way's record

Congrats Katy!

Almost every day I hear at least ONE Katy Perry song... it gets irritating very easily.

Well... Saying how long It's been (a whole) since a song debuted higher is still a compliment...

[freebitch26]

i'm glad it didn't break born this way's record and congrats Katy
