BTW and Unconditionally would flop, esp in that singles order. Tragiiic. Esprcially as Yhinking of You is face-punch rage-inducing Proto Screech!!

I did really think before PRISM that the big thing she had going for her is that her team always managed to get the single choices spot on and it kept her at the top of her game.

If the latter got released, then it would have definitely performed better and created more hype for 'WUIV' and given that a better chart position in the UK at least. Teenage Dream Era California Gurls Teenage Dream Firework E.T. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) The One That Got Away Part Of Me Wide Awake Hummingbird Heartbeat Again would change very little for this era, it was perfect as it was, just thought it would have been nice if 'HH' would have got released, but that's more of a personal choice on my part, to be honest I doubt it would have been a smash hit, considering that it would have been the 9th single from an already fantastic era, but it would have been nice to see a colourful music video and it would have been interesting to see how it would have performed, I'd predict top 10 in the USA and top 20 UK. Prism Era Roar Unconditionally Dark Horse Waking On Air Birthday, Legendary Lovers Now this is the era that would have the most changes, firstly 'Unconditionally' was a decent choice, but came a tad too soon, especially following something as massive as 'Roar', and was just a hard act to follow, even if 'DH' got released 2nd, yeah it would have been a smash, but I just feel it would have been too much too soon. Again 'Birthday' was a good song and a definite standout on the album, but releasing it after 'DH' was a huge mistake, if 'Walking On Air' was released instead, then it would have sustained more momentum and driven more sales instead of basically flatlining. 'Birthday' would have worked better as the 5th single and with a better music video, might have performed slightly better. Then scrap 'This Is How We Do' altogether, because that just didn't work at all and didn't do anything for the album at all, the era was dead by this point. Personally then following 'WOA' & 'Birthday', release 'Legendary Lovers' in a remixed form with a rapper, featuring Drake as it was rumoured at one point, now that would have definitely created more interest and definitely ended the era on more of a high.
