charts discussion Katy Perry - 143 | Spotify Global: N/A, Day 6: 3.47M

[paperfectdelusion]

At this point she should just apologize (not only for Dr Luke but also for how bad the album is).

[Riot]

Does someone have the Cheek to Cheek or Love for Sale debut numbers?

[UnRayuki]

The most epic flop since Bionic, and probably the biggest since Cyndi Lauper's A Night to Remember.

 

Katy Fun Perry truly making history.

Stupid me really thought the reviews and streams wouldnt be as disastrous as we all thought and that we would all end up looking like clowns….but here we are.

 

now the big remaining question is: Will physicals at least Save the First week Numbers?

What gets me is if you're gonna work with Luke, at least ******* give us Teenage Dream 2.0. But you go and give us… this?? I don't even know what the **** this is. It's a new level of awful what in the world were they thinking making and releasing this music??? There's not a single damn good song on this album.

That too high of an expectation…. IKEA parking lots from where I am from are HUGE! Let's start with a club tour!

U need to grow up, cringe af 

telling someone, on a site where we spend all day talking about pop girls, that it's "cringe" 

 

the lack of self awareness chile  

 

while standing KATY PERRY, who seems incapable of making a serious album, no less

Debut Streams

Witness: 10.4M

Smile: 7.8M (-25%)

143M: 6.7M (-15%)

 

Like this is already really bad, but it gets SO much worse when you consider...

 

Spotify Monthly Active Users

2017: 138M

2020: 320M (+132%)

2024: 626M (+96%)

 

I know there's no perfect way of doing this, but if we do like an "accounting for inflation" kind of computation but in regards to Spotify's growth, her debuts look like this.

 

Debut Streams (Adjusted for 2024 Spotify Users)

Witness: 47.2M

Smile: 15.3M (-68%)

143: 6.7M (-56%)

luke is WASHED UP

katy probably saw doja getting hits (which was due to doja herself, not luke) and thought she should go back to him for a successful comeback

She needs the universe to chip in at this point.

I think I've gotten my kii kii lashings in for now, but now for a real moment of thoughts on this. We all laugh about how this is her third time flopping, but I don't know if everyone realizes just how dire this era is for her career.

 

Witness at least had respectable streaming numbers for when it was released (especially YouTube) and a decently sized tour, and Smile had Never Really Over to buoy its numbers upon release plus the luck of Harleys in Hawaii going viral and further boosting its numbers into relatively OK territory, but this...so far, there's literally NOTHING redeeming this or lifting it from atomic bomb status.

 

It's truly bombing in every imaginable way in ways very few stars at her level have ever seen, certainly not in the past decade at least. Classic flop eras like Bionic and ARTPOP are looking like diamond certified albums comparatively, and even bigger bombs like Britney Jean and Lotus look respectable next to this. Also, amidst all her flopping the past 8ish years, her celebrity status felt relatively stable, if slowly diminishing. This time, she feels like a B-Lister, in my opinion, for the very first time. Dare I say, her MPG card has perhaps been officially revoked.

 

I always thought she could turn things around before, and I guess she still could, but...I'm inclined to think her ship has finally, officially sailed. Best of luck in your future endeavors, Miss Perry. You'll always be fabulous for a throwback. 💋
