This reviewer gets that Katy is an easy target, but COME ON this is a solid album!

Why is a score of 70 not attached so it can be added to metacritic

No she missed the top 5. Oh well still decent

Sales are good though - easily cleared Smile 

 

"Katy Perry, whose 143 debuts at No.6 (9,250 sales).

143 is the sixth studio album by American singer/songwriter Perry and its failure to compete for honours follows the disappointing showing of its singles Woman's World (No.47) and Lifetimes (No.89).

Perry debuted at No.1 with 2010 second album Teenage Dream (54,176 sales) and 2013 third album Prism (53,827 sales), while her last album, Smile, debuted and peaked at No.5 (8,579 sales) in 2020. 

1. Crush - I kind of wish Crush and Nirvana were re-worked and merged to one as they are interchangeable for 1-2 for me. Crush is a great gym song! 10 at the moment. 

2. Nirvana - It would be a 10 if the drop wasn't so weak and there was a bridge and just more to it.  - 9.75

3. Lifetimes - Grow-er, not a show-er - 9.5

4. Wonder - This would be higher if the child's voice wasn't at the beginning and ending! I think this could be a single if Crush or Nirvana is not selected next.  9

 

Want Crush, Nirvana and/or Wonder if they will push any more singles. 

 

5. All The Love - 8 .5

6. Artificial - 8

7. No Tears For New Years - 7.5

8. I'm His, He's Mine - 7

9. Woman's World - 6.5

10. Truth - 6

11. Gorgeous - 5

12. Gimme Gimme - 4

13. I Woke Up  - 2

14. Has A Heart - 1

GORGEOUS is a collapse

I feel like I'm going insane because this is easily my favorite pop album of the year. And I'm not saying that as some blind stan because I couldn't say the same about Smile

It's not my favorite of the year I think but I also love it! I don't think it's a bad album

Who cares about charts at this point after all of this what happened during this era. The most important thing is about fun we had. Besides hate this was messy fun rollout. Music is good. She is looking good. Rock in Rio was good. NOW WHERE IS "OK" KATHERYN

Wonder needs to get a tour video  somewhere down the line, mainly because of its message but also because it's NOT produced by Luke and that way the era can be ended on a positive note after all the negativity.

@Katy Perry@Katy Perry Central

I was thinking the same! It's the perfect song for a tour-themed video. 

In my mind if she released any other song but woman world this era would perform way better since the dr Luke issue was aggravated 1000x times because it was a generic song about woman lol I mean if wonder was released as a promo single at first it would probably perform better even tho is kinda dated production the message is genuine 

Everytime I listen to 143 start to finish I think that it's a very enjoyable album, genuinely. We can never win with haters, but who cares, we love it and feel ourselves through it

I've convinced myself that All the love would have been the perfect lead for engaging that "nostalgia wave" going around socials before the beginning of rollout, because it's kynda a Katy's classic (people pretend to want something different, but in realty they're fine when it's served them the same well-done formula), halfway between almost an emotional ballad and an uplifting upbeat song, I'd say a la Firework for clarifying what I mean.  

When is she dropping a deluxe on Spotify?

Are you referring to Artificial?

 

Of course I'm referring to the 2nd best song on the album ARTificial

I just gotta say, WHEN I'M GONE deserved its place even on one version of the album. fits on 143 so well

Like the Sun is always rising... 

Like the stars are in the sky...

Ohhh you've gotten points

It doesn't really fit the standard album tracks sonically, but gosh No Tears for New Year's is the song that truly gives the most classic, original, nostalgic Katy sound... It sounds straight out of 2010 in the best possible way

No tear for a new year's is such a bop  can't stop listening to it 

she should perform Wonder tomorrow tbh 

 

it actually would be very fitting for the occasion 

Yay my signed album got messed up in the production process, but they are sending me the booklet for free 

I STILL haven't received my signed vinyl.

I need a proper deluxe edition with all four bonus tracks.

  

 

 

This is a good album.

Sorry but this sounds fake. If u work at Copacabana, u know there are A LOT of Restaurants in the zone. And the police is very rude with people. So, this is fake and u are saying something stupid. 

Fake? Anyway, people were mistaking a hungry poor kid for a fan and I was just explaining he didn't know her. I am indeed from Brazil, I don't need to lie about that or where I work.

 

But staying on topic, I will replace WW for WW doing the most on my 143 playlist and after a few days I can say I got tired of Truth, but the album as a whole works for me. And I hope the concert in AUS is as great as she was in RIR. 

I like All The Love, Wonder is nice too but the childs voice need to go
