Yeah, it's been great to see the track get so much airplay. Feels like I'm hearing it everywhere and everyone seems to love it, I'm glad she's come back with such a strong track. I hope the album is just as good!

It's doing really well in Europe, it's #2 on iTunes Europe, it's not doing amazingly in America though. Billboard chart run so far is 4-8-12 which isn't terrible but should be better.

This is already my favourite Katy song :o Pleasantly surprised by how well it's doing too! If the album is this kind of quality then 2017 will be her year *.*

I'm surprised it's doing as well as it is, tbh.

It's kinda flopping!!

It's kinda flopping!!

 

It's really not. It's like #3 worldwide on iTunes and #2 in Europe a month after release.

It's kinda flopping!!

:blink:

Back in the UK top 10 in the mids! Glad, as 3 weeks top 10 just didn't feel right.

 

Looks like the UK Chart run for this will be 7-5-5-16-6 lol

UK: Total (157,339 chart sales)

Week 1: 32,859

Week 2: 38,730

Week 3: 48,055

Week 4: 37,695

 

(7-5-5-17-...) 4 weeks

 

US:

(4-8-12-...) 3 weeks

 

It is a little disappointing that it has dropped out of both the UK and US top 10 so quickly but at least it should re-enter the UK top 10 this week and hopefully stay there a bit longer, it does feel bigger than the chart run suggests.

 

It looks to me like it's roughly mirroring 'Applause'.

13 on this week's billboard ^ 4-8-12-13

 

It's not doing so well in US airplay oddly, but is still #3 on worldwide iTunes and #2 on European. Even in Canada it's gone 3-4-3-4.

Hot Chip Remix is out today and it's really funky!

Articles have started to come out calling this a flop!!!

 

This is her Artpop.

UK:

Week 1: 32,859

Week 2: 38,730

Week 3: 48,055

Week 4: 37,695

Week 5: ~32/33k

 

(7-5-5-17-11-...) 5 weeks

 

US:

(4-8-12-13-15...) 5 weeks

 

I imagine it's probably just under 190k-ish chart sales now (although someone else probably has better estimates) but as Joe said in the chart runs thread, it has been certified silver as the BPI still use the 100:1 streaming ratio :cheer:

 

Would be nice if it could make the US top 10 again but it just seems to be falling away :(

I would've liked this to stay in the top 10 a bit longer in both the UK and the US but it's still done better than I would've expected tbh! I really feared this would be her 'Goodbye Lullaby' era, but luckily she's still incredibly relevant! Still can't get over how much of a BOP this is. *.*

It's been discounted in the US this week. Discounts are really turning songs into big hits in the US these days. Sia went #1 the week she discounted. She should at least re-enter the top 10 on Billboard I imagine.

US:

(4-8-12-13-15-19)

 

Predicted to jump back to #13 this week because the discount has it sitting at #5 on iTunes. Would be good if it snuck into the top 10 this week or next.

Someone said it before but could this underperformance be due to the political thing? It seems to be doing great everywhere except the US.

It has underperformed everywhere for Katy. No one likea disco!!

Only in the US. Even in Canada it spent multiple weeks top 5 and hasn't left the top 10 yet. Big hit in Germany, France, UK, Australia and NZ (already platinum in both countries) and has become her highest peaking song ever in Spain.
