RideOrDie Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Chromatica I is the least streamed track of its album, being a minute long interlude clocking in at 33 million. (Chromatica III isn't registered as having full streams because of its short length) Katy Perry's album Smile, which ATRL told me has more 500M+ songs than Chromatica, has 7 songs which haven't reached 30 million streams yet. That's more than half of the album doing less numbers than an interlude. So ATRL, why does Katy not manage to have anyone listen to the entirety of her album even though she's supposedly doing so well despite being perceived as a flop? Will the tides turn around for her next era and GP start remembering her #1s and care about her again, or do we have to keep getting reminded again and again that no amount of Tiktok fuelled hits and legacy chart toppers a decade ago can keep a career afloat, when people don't respect your output nor have an interest in you as an artist? Discuss. 1 18 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's really nice when you have talented young female artists wanting to collab with you because they respect you. Zedd and Alesso are really kind to let Katy sing on their generic DJ tunes though, that seems to be her lane nowadays. Maybe she could try to DM Bebe Rexha since she is her closest artistic peer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know KitKats lack reading comprehension and logical thinking, but it is explained in the first paragraph that Spotify doesn't allow full streams to be counted for short songs. If they did, it would be unfair to singers like Katy Perry cause then they would have 7 songs on their albums with less streams than a 27 second interlude. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankle Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Katy Perry has always been a singles artist and remains one. She's not a versatile chameleon like Gaga, who transitioned masterfully from briefly successful popstar to into Hollywood press tour comedienne, before deftly blossoming into a dedicated pharmaceutical industry shill.

Only 2 out of her last 7 singles charted (and one of them barely), what kind of singles artist is that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is such a neat trick, maybe Katy should use it next time and we can see if people will sit through an entire album of hers and come back to it? Oh wait, it certainly hasn't helped Whiteness. Thanks Nicki Minaj, Migos and Skip Marley ig. Edited April 3 by RideOrDie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
