I listened again with the lyric video (can't decide if it's super cute or super pandering, but I think Katy thrives on that line so w/e), and I thought it got stuck in my head. But I was just singing "Brave," and ended up buying that lulz.
...but, honestly, given time, I don't think this will be far behind.

I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande didn't have to go up against Blurred Lines (at its peak). She overtook it relatively quickly with a song that was released at midnight. It's hit #1 on iTunes in 19 countries in the meantime. The only people who were awake last night were buying Katy Perry records.

1. Katy Perry - Roar 1.000 0.8707 2. Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. & Pharrell) 0.7623 1.0000
It's flying up the charts now!

Well duh, who wasn't expecting that? It's the longevity that matters. This still won't sell one million in one week. Especially when you factor in the "Blurred Lines" is slipping digitally anyway and now that it's lost its #1 exposure, it's going to fall even harder.

I don't know if anyone expected one million in a week, considering the record is like 627k or something and only a handful of songs have ever sold half a million in a week. I could see something like 300-400k but upwards of 500k perhaps.

Massive as expected. Doesn't hurt that it's an amazing song too.

For Katy to just blow by Robin who is guaranteed to sell 300k minimum. I think a million is in the cards...and there is absolutely no way she'll do less than 700k+.

I like the song a lot and I really love her determination, you can tell in her interview with Seacrest that she is ready to slay.

On real time (airplay beginning Sunday), she is #13 on CHR/Pop, #15 on Hot AC, #32 on Rhythmic and #38 on AC. Airplay is down a bit from yesterday, I assume everyone adjusted and gave the hourly-play-deal yesterday after the leak.
I'm expecting 500-550k opening week.

I think she could do 700k+ if that Lady Gaga song doesn't leak. If it does, I don't know. She'll probably lose #1 on iTunes and also lose the exposure that gives her.

I'm not gonna say anything on the "Applause" thread yet, because I don't want to ruin their fun, but this must be the most embarrassing thing I've ever witnessed in pop music in a long, long time.

Plus Blurred Lines is absolutely massive right now and arguably peaked in the last week so of course sales were going to be as high as they were. Some pretty high profile singles by big names with more anticipation than Roar sold in and around 500k in its first week. I see no reason to think this will reach the heights of a million. I'd be happy if they do but the excitement of today's sales aren't going to expand into the rest of the week. The trends of iTunes sales of the past leading up to now don't support a 1 million prediction right now.

Well it was great to see Katy on top of iTunes again after a year long hiatus but she'll probably have to surrender it to Interscope's shitty antics soon.

Finally listened to this!
That awkward moment when I'm more impressed on first listen with this than "Applause".
Nothing amazing, but happy to watch this smash :)

Ga should've let things stand - she's been pimping 8/19 for so long. Not sure what her strategy is - she could've had her own moment in sun. Anyway, Roar is going to be on the radio for the next few months. Applause will probably have Judas effect (and I like that song).

You believe that Applause will get more radio impressions that Roar during the next three months before both release second single? Katy's track record says otherwise.

^"Applause" has snippets leaking left and right. It was only a matter of hours before the full thing leaked, so her team jumped before it had the opportunity to do so. Like when "Mine" leaked a week early and her team had it up on iTunes in a matter of hours. Edit: Oh, this was in response to a post on the last page, lol.

After listening to this a lot, I have to say that I'm impressed. Dr. Luke was really able to adjust his production to fit in with the current landscape of pop music, which is kind of surprising.
