I was told by Katy Kats that monthly listeners is an irrelevant metric 

it's irrelevant when you're the #1 woman but when you're #9 it's a repeak

 

 

[SeanET]

the fact that she did that without relying on huge collaborations  

[Phaunzie]

I love this for Katy. Her other fanbase is bothered for no reason.

Not when Doechii's IHHM is the only almost semi-relevant 143 song and Juicy J's Dark Horse, Snoop Dog's Cali Girls, and Feels are 3 of her biggest songs in total and daily streams. 

[Sugar-Rush]

"Repeak"? I guess being among the Top 10 females is a victory in itself, but the fact that her career high is only one spot higher now despite her massive tour is just

[AcidPrince]

Queen of pop

[Nando_05]

The fact i saw some of you saying This is an irrelevant metric when Gaga was doing almost the double of monthy listeners. 
 

Anyways, Katy has a legendary catalogue. Her first three albums are pop perfection so Im not surprised. 
 

Im more surprised about LFN being her most popular song

I love how Godty avoids huge collabs. Her latest single with current it girl Doechii isn't even cracking 100k daily streams

Lemme whack you with facts sis.

 

It's a new peak for her, someone who y'all been calling a fad since 2017 - she didn't have a true smash era since the streaming era took off - so yes, it makes sense.

 

Only one spot higher?... Than the it girl of 2024 who just had a streak of 3 global smash hits and also just had a global tour with multiple viral moments, especially Juno trending night after night? 

 

Now Katy's tour is massive? Didn't y'all run your mouth with DailyMail articles about how the tour is a flop? Y'all didn't have threads prepared for US cancellations and vids with empty arena or **** like this?

 

Lemme have a cute giggle cuz y'all switched the narrative FAST!

They can try their hardest but TALENT cannot be denied!!

It's a weird metric. If you look at total streams from 5/14 via Kworb

 

Katy 

12,340,620

Sabrina 

17,636,371

Adding Beyonce:

 

Beyonce

14,728,720

ML might be irrelevant (which I disagree on btw), but then again Katy still gets 12m+ daily streams.

Well duh, monthly listeners isn't daily streams. Of course Sabrina has more, she has more recurrent hits, but the amount of people she's been reaching is shrinking despite a successful album (for 2024). I actually made a thread on how her team completely destroyed the era this year though! Not surprised she fell below Katy if we're being honest...

Oh that's an interesting take..yeah it's weird after PPP I haven't really heard about Sabrina much

People hang up on the "monthly listeners" just because the mods merged the threads  when there are enough receipts in this thread that her entire discography is getting a resurgence, with multiple hits having its best streams ever - Last Friday Night / TOTGA / Harleys / Thinking Of You / Roar etc.

 

She's having 12 songs with over 500k daily streams - more than a number of other pop girls. And if this trend continues, she will soon have multiple songs having over 1M daily streams

Au contraire, my little lanalligator

kworb has 1432 at 225,989,901 streams, and according to the wayback machine, this time last month it was at 214,291,936 streams

225,989,901 - 214,291,936 = 11.697.965 streams for 1432 in the past month

Katy Perry has 65,733,805 monthly listeners

there's a lot to take away from that

OMG her album crossed 11M streams in 1 month... WOW WOW WOW she's officially bigger than Taylor Swift...

 

She should def leave earth and tour another galaxy next!!! She's a success!!!!!!!!!

Talking about shifting the goal posts to fit their narratives   

 

It's a REPEAK for Katy and all the receipts supported that. It doesn't matter if she's below A or B or C; it's still a repeak and what this thread is about

Streaming elixir !!

The way this tour went from having to be cancelled, to empty arenas, to now being massive is sending me. 

 

you cant make this ish up !!!

Monthly listeners don't really mean anything. It's no big deal.

Incorrect: 

 

On Spotify, "monthly listeners" refers to the total number of unique users who have listened to an artist's music at least once within a 28-day period. This metric provides a gauge of an artist's reach and engagement. Even if a listener streams the same song multiple times within the month, they are still counted as a single monthly listener. 

[Sannie]

i've never seen a fanbase so excited for proof their fave is a legacy act.

 

if you're going to brag about spotify stats, at least ensure said stats aren't from 10-year-old songs being streamed. like, i don't think anyone disagrees katy has a good catalog? her problem has always been getting people to care about her now in 2025.

are kats actually convinced this tour is doing well because people around the area are buying last-minute $20 tickets?

to be fair, though, gaga repeaked because of NEW music, not because of her catalog. there's a big difference between being a relevant current act and a legacy act.
