official chart Billboard Charts (Week of October 5, 2024)

[DemDam92]

Katys career as chart topper is over.

 

But she's fabulous for a throwback, we love Teenage Dream and the one song where she is with Kesha in the video.

 

 

[Lil Mistee]

Honestly good numbers for Mrs Katheryn

143 is literally about to have the biggest drop of all time since Artpop 

Artpop dropped to #7, I'm sure there's at least 100 albums that dropped more than that…

Fortnight first day streams: 25.2M

143 first week streams: 13.11M

 

ok?

 

it always sends me that swifties need to bring up taylor in every single thread 

[Maroonx]

48k is good for a throwback act, i must admit x 

 

so many dr luke supporters out there... 

[Rocket]

 

Next week though.

It's quite shocking that despite flopping for a longer time now than she was smashing and the heaps of negativity she still manages to go top 10. Imagine if she's still on the chart by next week

Katy did a lot better than I thought, my original prediction was 35K. 

If you think about it 143 did only 2K less units than Smile and it actually sold more pure albums in its first week (without a top 40 hit and with bad reviews). I think this clearly shows that she still has a fanbase.

[Yes, AND]

Your faves last album had JOCK STRAPS counting as album sales. Sit down.

Let's remember this the next time ppl claim Taylor owes her sales figures to variant exclusive bonus tracks & other tricks. Katy pulled all the same stunts and couldn't sell 2% of what Taylor did. It needs to be said. The gimmicks don't mean **** if you don't have fans. Charli did a lot better than she did. Surreal

Taylor has around 60 variants of TTPS.

Just imagine what she could have done, if she actually sat down and worked with talented co writers and producers who would have been able to provide tracks that work in 2024. No tracks from 143 wouldn't have made the cut on TD or Prism. It's just baffling, to say the least.

OMG!! THIS HAS BEEN A ROUGH WEEK BUT AM SO GLAD FOR SISTER KATY!!!

YASSSSSSS

HOPE THIS #INSPIRES HER TO KEEP #SLAYING ALL THE 143 ERA PERFORMANCES!!!

 

WE DID IT KATS!!

ALL MY POSTERS, GRINDR MESSAGES, PURCHASES AND NON-STOP STREAMING WORKED!! 

[Xtina23]

Also it doesn't matter what the charts say, 143 is #1 in my heart!!

so anyone can debut with 1914k copies then?

 

eternal Sunshine opened with 14 variants and 77k copies.

so she just needed 348 variants to match Taylor I guess.

Fortnight alone has 663M streams. Quote me when 143 reaches that in its entirety. You'll probably wait around 10 years!

 

I use TTPD from time to time. Taylor has been untouchable in the last few years and everyone knows that - it would be delusional to think otherwise. But does that mean the quality is good? There are better songs in TTPD than Fortnight: MBOBHFT and TSMWEL, for instance. But that Fortnight song doesn't hold a candle to Katy's worst song in 143. If you sincerely enjoy Fortnight, I feel sincerely honestly sorry for you.

You know that 10 years won't probably be enough tho.

not bad, she outdid camila. I think katy's days of being in sight of the top 5 are over though.

I mean, is this something to brag about? Xtina was far less relevant and yet Liberation debuted at #6 aswell back in 2018.

Um ok? Xtina and Katy both legends, so idk what kinda drag this is

[Witnessed ET]

Omg this fraud

[Yes, AND]

I mean when you think about it she is within reach of matching Dua's first week if she had decent playlist support and a song on the radio, well done Katy !
