Oh and for reference, this is what it looked like back in 2012, when it was actually relevant: https://web.archive.org/web/20120112122318/http://www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143441 Compare it to the numbers today: http://www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143441 Still, in the US, it has a tiny impact today. Maybe a teeny tiny one in the UK. Rest of the countries? Negligible.

I say this with love but you know iTunes is a dead platform right? http://www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143445 This is what #16 in Austria looks like.

Anyone still think of this Witness snippet? I love the production, and it ends with a beat drop of sorts?? I could kill to hear it in full! And of course, Save Me Some Tonight. I yearn for Witness 2.0, but I know we're never going to get it :( And by Witness 2.0, I mean the songs that felt introspective and the ones where she truly had something to talk about, like Witness, Roulette, Power, Mind Maze, Pendulum, Dance with the Devil.

I feel like bandaids is a better song lyrically than Watch It Burn, and in general, her discography. With TOTGA, we see what happens before and after their breakup but we don't really learn why they breakup? Whereas, for bandaids, we see what exactly went wrong with the relationship, she didn't feel the love was being reciprocated. My favorite line on the song is "it's not so complicated, to ask me how my day is", the delivery, the emotions and its position in the second chorus, all of it is perfect! On the other hand, Watch It Burn has a lot of TikTok phrases but they somehow work without being too cringe. I do think it's interesting that for both the songs, the second verse and the bridge/outro is her still looking back fondly on the relationship and being grateful that it happened. And that also feels like the same way she described her relationship back in Never Really Over/Small Talk. So, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they got back together lol.

Oh no, the rains will extinguish Watch It Burn :(

10 minutes to go for us non Apple people!

Never Really Over California Gurls Chained to the Rhythm I Kissed A Girl Roar Watch It Burn (although I haven't listened to any of the previews) N/A Concept of KP8 lead single White Noise Woman's World

Still no YouTube link? That's... concerning.

I don't think Harleys in Hawaii got anything. That was not even released on a Friday I think, after Small Talk, they completely gave up lol. Ngl, if Woman's World didn't get it, I don't know how Watch It Burn will get it. WW was the comeback single after four years and there was definitely some amount of hype there. There's no indication WIB has surpassed that hype nor any that Katy's team has gotten better. So, a measly song performance, here we come!

I thought Daisies got a few weeks? Like not Top 10 or anything very good but some TTH exposure? But I don't think any of her songs have gotten TTH after that. Small Talk really delivered the final blow to her streaming for sure.

But seriously, when was the last time she got TTH? She didn't get it for Woman's World right?

I'm thinking a #75ish Global Spotify debut, with maybe 2.1 million unfiltered and 1.7 million filtered streams?

I am not going to say she is blameless in the involvement of Dr. Luke, because she is big enough to say no, but the only thing I can believe in is that the label might have interfered in the songs themselves. I don't think Katy has ever extended her songs on the live versions like she did for 143. Most prominently, All The Love comes to mind with the tour version having an amazing final chorus and outro. Nirvana has a better, more full sounding drop, Artificial has an outro? And that's only the songs we hear on the tour. I wonder if the 1437 rumors were true and whether they were the original full length songs.

Do you really expect the CEO of Capital Records to say "she is a flop but her old music gives us a lot of money so we keep her"? Of course he is going to hype her up. And just look at the playlisting her new songs get for you to know how they truly (and understandably) feel about her.

Yeahh I was following this until I saw Harleys in Hawaii, she is committed to not singing that song anymore. I'm going to say this is fake just based off HIH

Also, I'm happy she isn't releasing the single on Juneteenth lol

I was a huge KatyCat before the Dr. Luke thing, I'm cautiously ready to going back to stanning her again, now all I need from her is one acknowledgement that working with him was wrong, and that'd be enough for me to stan her like I did.

Okay I don't like how the interviewer said "so you're allowed to be angry at one song", like we needed a complete album with this sound! But I'm happy it's the same sound as bandaids, hopefully we are getting a complete pop-rock record!

Those are three artists I never thought would make a song together, so I'm excited!

To simplify the discourse, I want an album for which she'll tour for. But I kinda know that's not happening until late 2027 - early 2028

The story was so tame, he isn't harming anyone with that, he probably just likes to shop at new places or something, I would've maybe moved a little if he made her pack his clothes or something.

One of her best songs ever! I'm happy it reached 100 million!

Update: So literally every time after I commented about the "I found my purpose in the church" line, it sounds so indistinct that my brain goes like "why did you comment that on atrl?? what was so special about the delivery of this line?!!". It has plagued me every time I have listened to the song so I am coming here to formally retract my statement. The song is amazing, the lyrics are amazing, the delivery of the entire song is amazing but this line is not, okay? Now shut up brain.

Forget about the beat but her delivery on this track is so smooth! It takes more than just a good beat to make a song great and she did that! I especially love the way she sings "I found my purpose in the church"

NOOOO she did not sing Dance with the Devil!!! I am so mad right now :( Why'd she have to tease it and get me hyped up so much only to never sing it? 😭
