Monster Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Also I don't get the dragging of Katheryn. Yes it tells me Capitol wasted hella dollars on streaming promotion, but I'd rather have the bulk of my numbers come from genuine sales.
RickyH. Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 This is WITH the bundle? how would she have done without it?

Cloröx Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Not lower than Joanne even with the help of tour bundle. God help Katy please Edited June 13, 2017 by Coklek92
hardbrit Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 She has 28 million Spotify listeners rn, the SPS CAN'T be only 30k. Do YT videos count as streams? Her Bon Appetit video has like 3 million daily.

She's projected to do the same ballpark & before you mention the ticket bundle Gaga/ her team also had her album selling for like 4.99 release week. Both ladies had tactics in place to boost their sales. So really what's there to drag. Now her streams are a different story... Edited June 13, 2017 by BajanBeauty

Hazard Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 These are really bad numbers factoring in the tour bundle and massive promotion.
Truth Teller Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 We BEEN through that she doesn't have an album launching smash this time around, let's not act brand new. Anything even remotely close to 200k is respectable in this day and age. As for SPS, I'm not too surprised at 20k, although I expected 25ish. Since she doesn't have a hit, she lacks individual track sales. I'm also assuming her Apple Music promo isn't exactly lucrative given that she has a deal with their rival
Cloröx Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Imagine the second week sales. Madonna her wig will be snatched

NEZ Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 This is lowkey tragic for katy. Its a shame cause the album is really good. Easily her best effort. What makes it even worse is the "karmas not a liar" line. Guess it is katy. I still love katy and this album is really good.
alfonso12 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 If this album debuts with less than the album from the "fad" despite having the tour bundle and livestreaming her life 24/7

Now her streams are a different story... the Amazon discount was only for people with $50 membership, something like that. the only "tactics" she did was from her doing Carpool & SNL, which many singers has done during their release week Edited June 13, 2017 by hausofdave
