No one really cares about promo singles though ... Unconditionally hasnt performed as good as Dark Horse yet either, not to say it wont be big though.

 

As soon as a video is released and its set out to radio, it will be huge. Clubs will be all over it too.

'Unconditionally' wasn't released as a promo single alongside 'Dark Horse' though, so there's no comparison to be made there. :lol: With 'Walking on Air' however, there is.

'Walking On Air' was chart inegliable wasn't it? Or did it make top 75? :o

Yeah Walking On Air was chart ineligible for the same reason that the Gaga/R Kelly single will be this week. I'm willing to eat my words if it becomes a huge hit single but it seems a little lightweight to become massive. I naturally LOVE the 90s vibe of the production on it but the it doesn't have as strong a melody/chorus as a typical Katy smash would have so I think it would struggle to catch on.

Unconditionally and Walking On Air are the obvious smashes on the album tbh, in the same way as Roar was.

THANKYOU.

 

Although for some reason I dont see Unconditionally doing quite as well as people think it will. If it gets a X Factor performance it might have a similar chart run to Stay I guess.

My copy has arrived andI'm loving it already!

That last chorus on Legendary Lovers >>>>>

Oops double

This album is a huge let down. She made it out as though this was going to be sone huge artistic change for her, but no. I'm not saying it's a bad album, but it's like "Teenage Dream", rehashed.

 

"Dark Horse" is the only amazing thing on the album.

Anyone who doesn't think 'Birthday' wouldn't be a hit of epic proportions needs to rethink their lives. I personally can't wait till August 2014 when it's the only thing you will ever hear on the radio.

I did think 'Walking On Air' was really limp, but it's grown on me so much. Quite loving it now!

"Prism" is my favourite album this year!!! It has a lot of gems. Katy has always the most exciting pop songs. My favourite songs of "Prism" are "Roar", "Unconditionally", "Choose You Battle" and "It Takes Too". The latter needs to be an official single. I'm sure that it will be a smash hit. "Choose You Battle" is epic with these military-like drums. Could we have a Katy album every year like Rihanna..?

I really like the album..its definately a grower. Not as poppy as the last album but still some good songs on it!

It seems 'Dark Horse' is officially the 3rd single...apparently going to US radio in January.

 

'Unconditionally' has now completely stalled there now and looks certain to be her smallest hit there since 'Thinking Of You'.

Nice and quick! :D Amazing choice too (if it's true!). It seems people just don't warm to Katy's ballads! 'Thinking Of You', 'The One That Got Away' and now 'Unconditionally' seem to have underperformed in comparison to the songs before them. I don't think 'Wide Awake' is particularly remembered either. :( It's a shame as they are really beautiful!

So gutted that 'Unconditionally' has underperformed big time. :( Hopefully there's still a chance for her over here what with The X Factor and Chatty Man, although I doubt it'll trouble the top 5 at this point.

 

'Dark Horse' as the third single is the most sensible option. The video for that is going to be FANTASTIC, I can just tell. *.*

 

'Legendary Lovers' really needs to be single #4 though.

Dark Horse is already gaining over a million in audience a day and is doing better than Unconditionally on Itunes in the US :cheer:

So I just heard the three bonus tracks for the first time... and ALL THREE are better than a good number of tracks on the main tracklist. Admittedly I can understand why 'Spiritual' and 'It Takes Two' were left off since, good songs though they are, they do come off as her trying to do Dido and Emeli Sande impersonations, but there's simply no excuse for excluding 'Choose Your Battles' in favour of dreck like 'This Moment' and 'Love Me'.

If there's any standard track she should have binned in favour of a deluxe track it's 'This Is How We Do'. Complete trash.

It's no big deal, this is no big deal.
