Katy Perry - 143
- Thread starter jamesmax
- Start date
With the album weeks away, I’m pretty sure the record label are throwing everything at this to make it work and be a success, otherwise the era is moving from a flop to an utter disaster.
Currently the stories she posts on IG are giving wannabe popstar trying to break through. Some random TikTok dances, a bit of footage of her in a club, some fans adoring her, her using an aging filter next to Orlando. It seems chaotic and not like anyone put any thoughts into it, which is likely the case.
It's pretty telling that a lot of tiktok dances happen organically and here it's her trying to set the narrative the with this attempt. If she'd have just kept it cool people probably would've done that anyway and she could've hopped on the trend. The forced approach to get a viral moment (beyond working with an alleged sex offender) is really tired, desperate and very Katy Perry.
This whole era is cursed and her not having the self awareness to step forward, apologize and give it up just continues to bludgeon her legacy. Had she just released a new (good) song, announced a greatest hits tour and then used that as momentum for a comeback she'd be in a much better place.

If the problem is that person, a GH would just be the worst thing to do, cos he would get a lot of money from it. Or are we taking his songs away ?

They don't make a splash in the first week, but The Weeknd's greatest hits has spent 124 weeks in the top 10 here. The top 40 is full of greatest hits collections.
Isn't that (in the Weeknd's case) just because it contains lots of streaming hits that get strong recurrent streams and count toward the GH as an album sale? I don't think anyone is actually buying the GH and I doubt anyone is streaming it as a compilation either (since Spotify hides compilation albums).
I totally blanked out that she released 'Not The End Of The World' as a single.
Hey Hey Hey, Harleys In Hawaii, Never Worn White, and End of the World were never promoted to radio. So it sort of depends on what a single is now.
The Maculate Collectiion
A Greatest Hits Tour would potentially drum up interest but that’s the only way.
It’s so bizarre how out of touch all of this is. At every level, by every metric, this is loser behaviour.

Random question: but is Woman's World a demo from over a decade ago that she revisited and reworked or am I getting that mixed up? I can't find anything on it but I swear something was posted about it on here awhile back before it was officially announced.
he/him
She had a song she did over a decade ago called “Man’s World” apparently, but it’s not the same song.
Ah right, that's it. Thanks!
I legit thought that was going to be her next move after Vegas, a massive stadium tour.
I can't see her selling out arenas at this stage in her career, never mind stadiums.
Agreed. I am sure she will sell arenas out for a tour due to her back catalogue.
Judging by the reception, I would assume they will mark it as a Greatest Hits rather than 143 tour.
