Katy Perry's next era - how will it perform?

[theahsfan 13,822]

Katy Perry, and her label, naturally, seem pretty desperate for Woman's World + the subsequent album to smash. Suspiciously, despite her 2020 release only pulling 50k first week and her Vegas residency underperforming, she's been going viral a lot lately on X for her gimmicks and Kim Kardashian/Bianca Censori cosplay, returning to Dr. Luke, taking inspiration (IMO) from Chromatica... but will it all pay off? It's very fascinating to watch

135 - OUT

she'll flop

I kinda wish her well, but I don’t have that much confident tbh.

I mean, let's be honest. Ignoring any controversy etc, which is a primarily online thing - although I think the tiktok hate will stick. 

Who is Katy's fanbase? Like what does her core fan look like? 

And if, like me, you cannot answer that. That gives you an idea of how Katy will perform in this era unless she manages a true hit.

I don’t think it’s gonna be hugely successful. Her style and aesthetic was trendy in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but as a teacher I know what young people like these days and I just don’t see anyone caring for anything she does

Flop by MPG standards but still do better than small artists and bands. Woman's World will not break the top 10.

I don't see her getting a top 5 album this time around, considering Smile just barely got in at #5 and that had Never Really Over to carry it. I don't see this album getting a NRO or even a Daisies-sized hit, she'll have a 365 at best.

mama it's fraudulent likes. No way she's getting 400k likes over and over out of the blue, right after X blocks seeing the likes.

First single will have some buzz (for better or for worse lol) and ppl will stream to check it out but the era will fall off after that 

[Teletubby 148,827]

she released her last album before Billboard banned merch/bundles so i think 30-35k for next one

I'm just disappointed for this "comeback" because the lyrics are sooooooooo outdated. It's not 2016 anymore with Hilary running for president. IDK. I do like her latest aesthetic shift and confidence, though. Maybe the album and rollout will surprise us.

the lead will free fall and the album will make the impact of a single rain droplet in an ocean

Not well

There's nothing exciting about her music at all. It's usually people just expecting it to be catchy and the last few albums were anything but that...with a few exceptions. And tbh, even if those were catchy song... it's a form without substance, much like her as an 'artist' altogether.
