All in all it's shaping to be her biggest hit since Chained, and if bigger than that it could be her biggest since Dark Horse. Time will tell, but it's looking promising.

This is by far my favourite Katy song since 2011!! Nothing since besides Swish Swish has excited me as much as this. It's the perfect comeback track (and video) for her - mature, catchy, not OTT, not too leftfield, full of character. I'd love for this to be Katy's 6th #1 - but in this climate I won't get my hopes up. That Chorus!!!! :wub:

I was initially underwhelmed by this and it felt a little disappointing for someone of her calibre aside the iconic 100 words a second chorus.

 

However, I've fully changed my opinion and this is a huge bop!! I'm sold!

I'm actually starting to allow myself to believe this is going to be a hit... its stability is really impressive.

It’s back to 10 on USA Spotify.

It's up to #22 on Spotify which is great since she's still only #33 on Hot Hits Uk. It's the highest she's been on Spotify since Chained to the Rhythm

Did 'Feels' not get any higher than #22 on Spotify? :o That really surprises me!

That peaked at #3 but that's a Calvin single really, so I assume Joe means Katy leads.

I genuinely keep forgetting Feels was a thing, even though I enjoy it. D:

I love Feels but don’t really associate it with Katy, she only has a few lines and it’s not the greatest she’s ever sounded as a vocalist. Suspect that’s the case with many here.

Obsessed with this, the chorus is SO good 😍😍

I've just realised I haven't posted about this yet because it's been growing on me loads - I've had the chorus in my head everyday and I'm trying to learn the fast speak-singing section :lol: :heart:

 

I'm just shocked more than anything about how overwhelmingly positive the reaction to this has been - I was really ready to give up on Katy's days of success after Witness and her features since have underperformed but a top 20 debut in both the UK & US would be absolutely huge for her! I'm hoping the album lives up to the same high standards that she's set

God... even my fiancé was going around the house whistling this and it's not really his usual cup of tea. That's a good sign! :lol: Probably because I don't stop playing it though. LOL!

This is such a great track, a reminder of the type of pop song that Katy still does better than anyone else. Big, hooky, layered and colourful with lots going on, but without sounding messy.

 

I would love an album in the same vein, Witness was good enough but lacked the usual Katy magic, aside from Chained To The Rhythm.

I legit get frustrated when I mess up while singing the chorus :rofl:

Spotify UK: #21 (up 1)

Spotify US: #12 (down 2)

Spotify Global: #12 (non mover)

Capital is absolutely spamming this!

 

Onto B-list on R2 and hopefully up to A list on Radio 1 on Friday.

 

The only key radio yet to get on board is Heart.

Is a top 10 debut in the UK out of reach?

And we all know heart will be spamming this in like 9 months time so... success! *.*
