Katy Perry - 143

[Celestial Mosaic]

Talk about dodging a bullet...

 

[ZacharieH]

The first setup is supposed to be a sendup of girlboss cliches but the entire song feels like it's full of exactly those cliches? I don't get it. And how is the second cybernetic Katy any different or less about the male gaze?

Why does she sound like James Charles dd

Yesterday I spoke with a guy from work who is a Katy fan and he shared his tin-foil hat theory that she's working with Luke again because she knows she's the one who's going to get canceled for this and she's going down with him, after everyone knows what he did she'll tell the world what her plan was and release her real new album. I almost chocked laughing, I felt a bit sorry for him.

Is this you, @Pure Shores ?

This dropped out of the top 200 on US, UK, and Global Spotify today, so the focus really did shift completely away!

Dislikes overtaking Likes and plummeting off the charts in the same day oh it’s bad for her

[StratusJM]

That is genuinely unbelievably bad.

Streaming chart wise, the writing was on the wall for her the moment it had pretty much no major playlist support on the first day. It’s verrrrry hard to recover from that unless you go viral on Tik tok.

The fact Small Talk was #1 on Today’s Top Hits from release… Spotify‘s playlist team must have hated this.

 

[~Paul~]

Unbelievably bad, but not surprising to anyone who'd heard it. And thoroughly deserved for having the complete lack of any integrity whatsoever to boldly put out a song marketed as a female empowerment anthem, written by that cretin.

 

[Leopold]

The song is boring. The video is terrible.

Ultimately, if the fantastic 'Harleys In Hawaii' couldn't smash, this never would.

Sis, I don't know if you can blame this on playlisting when even Kesha's independent single is charting above this in the US.

This is doing worse than how Camila Cabello did with her new era. This is how like a Meghan Trainor single does.

It really needs to be emphasized the impact of the entire package while alienating 90% of fans with Luke's involvement led to this kind of unprecedented underperformance. No other household female pop star has seen a lead single perform this poorly in the streaming era.

And trying to save face with that behind the scenes video where she comes off as deeply unlikeable at best. And the whole thing comes off as a mockery of women’s rights in a time where Roe v Wade is overturned, etc etc. Bye forever you entitled idiot. Go sing You’re So Gay to the few dumb fans you still have left.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with any of this, I'm just saying as I did on release day, that the playlist support really was kind of the nail in the coffin, and there was no coming back without that.
