Improvement on Spotify, too. Global (+8) # 56 US (+24) #85 UK (+22) #100 Not as good on Apple Music but still a slight improvement there. Combined with the fact that it's starting to stabilize on iTunes, I'm improving my prediction to a debut at #70.

"Bon Appetit" has a hook and doesn't sound similar to this at all.

All of the singles had great production and hooks, imo. They just had corny lyrics and videos. I’m still pissed that she ruined half of the Bon Appetit video by making stupid faces when she was serving career defining visuals in the chopping board and boiling scenes. I agree with all three singles having hooks and great production. Granted, some of the hooks weren't as strong as her previous material. Katy still has catchy lyrics but I do agree that some of the lyrical quality dropped a bit during Witness. The CTTR and BA videos were amazing though and two of my favorites in her videography. The SS and (to a lesser extent) HHH videos however... I'm glad to see Katy back with a high quality music video and a catchy hook.

84 Pop adds and 10 on Hot AC. RIP it's done. I hated the "Swish Swish" video; things specifically designed to be memes are almost always cringe-worthy. The "Bon Appetit" one could have gone into an interesting direction but the ending was terrible and she didn't really pick whether it was meant to be really dark or a fun thing, so it was just... nothing. "Chained to the Rhythm" is the only single that they executed properly. I'm still a bit confused with how it managed to die before 20 weeks on the Hot 100. She still has a really good videography tho. Outside of SS and BA, the only other video she's done that I don't like is "Birthday", which tried too hard.

My thoughts on the BA video are still as they were then. The video's mostly good, but it's significantly better in concept than in execution. If they were going for the Cronenberg angle like in the first section in the dough, they should have taken it further. Having her body cartoonishly kneaded and then have her sitting in the water with nothing really happening to her lessens the overall effect. If they wanted to make it freaky, they could have had her skin boil off to reveal a shinier layer or something, and the old skin could have been served as an appetizer to wet the appetites of the people. The ending could have been better done as well, especially if they were going to close it with the Titus Andronicus moment. Good concept, flawed execution. Her videography overall is very strong though, and one of the strongest from her generation. MTV needs to pick two years to set aside to give the Vanguard to Gaga and her (Gaga preferably first since Bad Romance and Telephone came out before the TD campaign).

^ Exactly, Katy's videos are always excellent. Some bumps in the road but most are on point, it's pretty damn impressive that in a decade of her career she hasn't really resorted to videos of just lazy beauty shots like other pop stars (Ariana, Selena), they all have some form of creativity put in them.

The video really resonates with me in a big way, the climax where Katy is looking through the window and her smirk fades and while sitting with Zedd she tears up because she realizes that she loves him but he doesn't love her back. Idk why but that section always gets me, because I've been in that situation many times.

If and when I ever look half as good in a bikini as Brazilians do, I most certainly will!

All of her Witness singles were better than this. There. I said it.

Coming for those KPUs!
I really hope they perform this on TV at some point. Perhaps American Idol or America's Got Talent.

I LOVE this. I'm really hoping she joins Zedd at Coachella. I have a feeling she will.

Super early prediction here; assuming radio takes this decently far, I think this will peak in July.

Pop radio play of her most recent singles (not counting CTTR and Feels that had much bigger starts - I think due to radio deals) and since many people were wondering if it could be a grower like Delicate, I included it too. So far so good on the radio front, although I'd wait a few days before making any conclusions from that because only Swish Swish was showing negative signs by day 5.

I love making radio AI graphs for new songs so it’s very cool that you made this to compare it to other songs.
