I think it's pretty much agreed that Katy always picks the majority of her best tracks as singles but is there anything you would change about her eras? I've made a few tweaks below for my choices.

ONE OF THE BOYS
I Kissed a Girl
Hot N Cold
Waking Up In Vegas
One of the Boys
If You Can Afford Me

TEENAGE DREAM
California Gurls
Teenage Dream
Firework
ET
Last Friday Night (TGIF)
Hummingbird Heartbeat
The One That Got Away
---------
Part of Me
Wide Awake

PRISM
Roar
Dark Horse
Walking On Air
Unconditionally
Legendary Lovers

Honestly I think the first two eras were perfect (as much as I'm not here for Hot N Cold), but I'd change Prism to be like this:

1. Roar
2. Dark Horse
3. Walking On Air
4. Unconditionally
5. Birthday (this was a decent sized hit even if it wasn't massive)

Thinking of You: switch with I'm Still Breathing (maybe, I'm not too keen on that album)
The One That Got Away: switch with Not Like The Movies
Part of Me: switch with Peacock
Birthday: switch with Walking On Air

I feel offended at this TOTGA hate mellow.gif

(also Peacock would never have been a hit imo, and Part of Me was a #1 on both sides of the pond)

This is How We Do did really well considering Birthday and Unconditionally had done badly before it. It got nowhere near as much support as those two, and would have been a much bigger hit had it been released earlier.


I'd say for Prism:
Roar
Walking On Air
Dark Horse
This is How We Do
Legendary Lovers

The One That Gor Away BUT!! it was a U.s no.1 helping her record so no complaints even if it was ://

Also Screeching Of You, which gave Pink the whole idea of Screech in the first place!! Awful awful.

Unconditionally did its job of selling the album and letting Roar settle down before Dark Horse, although Dark Horse at Halloween!!!

Also This is How We Do was lol as a single. It shoulda been EOA or Legendary Lovers with a rap feature.

Why would you wait to release the album after 3 big singles? That would really hurt the album sales.

Except that it was not a US no. 1. It was the single that broke her record streak.

Yah makes no sense to wait, especially with her big profilr and good brand.

Omg really?! laugh.gif Ehy was it released!!! As bad a decision, welll nearly, as How Do You Do which was album filler.

Unconditionally is the worst song of the last ten years. And it's only because Katy's voice is so grating on it. Sometimes she sings amazing (Rise), but her voice on 'Unconditionally'... it makes me want to fight somebody.

I genuinely think Birthday would have been a hit if they got the video right (Sugar but with birthday parties) and waited a little longer for Dark Horse to die.

Yas it is awful and she is Mini Screech on it, just as she was Proto Screech on Thinking of You, but it sold the album.

The video was also better than the song.

I am still surprised Birthday flopped. It shoulda followed WOA and LL as a single though to close off the campaign.

Birthday & TIHWD were 2 tragic choices. Walking On Air & Legendary Lovers would both do much, much better and are much better songs also.
