I'm guessing it's no coincidence that We Are The World was one second longer than the record holder at the time. Wait oops just saw I Feel Love. That probably had a radio edit that was shorter.

I think there's an app/website out there that randomly selects songs on Spotify with 0 plays. Or is it YouTube. I don't remember.

That article cites The Sun as its source. 'Nuff said.

Huh? One Dance's peak on US Spotify was 2.7 million.

MOR has been around for decades.

Santana's last chart hit before Smooth was 20 years beforehand.

^ or half of Michael Jackson's number ones for that matter

Snap! only had number ones in the 90's :kink:

In other news, Closer has surpassed Sorry and is now the third most streamed track on Spotify (globally). I imagine it'll pass Lean On in a couple more months...

I managed to edit it into one image with Paint http://i.imgur.com/Po4yqWM.png

The record Katy broke was for an American female artist, which excludes Adele and Rihanna from the equation.

That Isaiah song even charted in the top 20 in Sweden. The power of Spotify playlists.

All Of Me and Pompeii

Dark Horse might honestly be her biggest hit in the US, going just by chart runs. Radio would not let go of that song there. I believe it's her longest charting song on the Hot 100 too. My point is, Prism gave Katy two of the biggest hits of her career. That alone is enough to call the era a success. It might not have matched the success of Teenage Dream, but that was never going to happen. Teenage Dream is one of those eras that comes once in an artist's career. The problem with that era was the single choices. Walking On Air should've been released, especially with the resurgence of deep house in 2014.

175 Katy Perry Chained To the Rhythm (feat. Skip Marley)

25 wasn't available to stream for several months. So probably Bieber, Drake or The Weeknd.

Aaliyah and Ashanti had tons of US success though. Tinashe doesn't even have that. She had a moderate hit with 2 On, but that was really it (All My Friends did nothing there).
