Firework - 1.4 billion

The One That Got Away - 986M

California Gurls - 698M

E.T - 661M

Billboard posted Katy's most successful singles from Teenage Dream which were:

 

1. E.T

2. Firework

3. California Gurls

6. The One That Got Away

 

Why did her most successful singles from the era become her flops in the streaming era? Did talent win or lose?

I’m very surprised by all her streams tbh. How/why on earth are TOTGA and LFN outstreaming Teenage Dream? Especially TOTGA.

ET was never bigger than firework.  
 

But I wonder if the division between the remix and original hurts it overall in streaming.

People burned that song, it was massive and one of the defined song off 2011.

I still used it though, love the mv version (the one with the bridge + Kanye's verse)

dated and using aliens as a metaphor for foreign people is weird

it doesn't have a lot of replay / revisit value to me like her others that are at this point classics. 

 

I always found this song and dark horse annoying. :rip:

 

The katy songs that work for me are the more bubblegum pop sounding ones. there's something about the production and her voice on this one that is annoying to me

Not everyone can handle such an intelligent song about the existential wonders of our universe.

ET's sound was so cool and trendy at the time, but it aged the worst out of all Teenage Dream hits (I mean, Part of Me is there too but you know what I mean). Surprising turn of events tbh.

 

In comparison, Firework also has that EDM/ Dance music production yet somehow it still sounds fresh. It's a weird feeling that I can't explain lol. 

 

LFN and TOTGA are slow burners that got more appreciation over time. The true winners. :clap3:

Teenage Dream being that low is the real crime

 

Is one of the best pop tracks of all time

 

The best of her career too

If the MV version was the main version on spotify it would be her biggest classic :jonny:

 

It's one of her more 'dated' TD songs I guess. But I love ET and it's definitely my favourite track from the album

Watch its streams catch up when Aliens finally show their faces to us humans.

 

Time, the ultimate truth teller.

E.T. was the biggest single from TD only in the US, so it was kinda local. Currently the US is one of her weakest markets so that explains a lot

Government is infiltrated with E.T so not surprised the song is shadow banned on Spotify.
