People are still streaming Teenage Dream album and the songs and they are produced by Luke. The hypocrisy. The hypocrisy of who exactly? This is such a huge leap in logic. People over here take issue with Katy working with a rapist, but people over on Spotify are still streaming his work so.... hypocrisy? You'd have to prove the same people were participating in both camps to prove hypocrisy and that's an impossible feat at this point so this makes literally no sense. If anything, this has shown how much people care about Katy with the number of posts on this matter lol Girl, the Katy Kat logic is quite the one to behold I will say that. LOL I promise it's going to be ok. No need to be policing what other members discuss in this thread. You find it annoying? Don't participate. On a side note, let's say Katy brings her A game with this upcoming single and album and is warmly received. What type of response do we expect? Will she be back on top? Will she have a series of moderate hits? Smashes? Another under-performer? It would be cool to see some predictions!

I see I hit a nerve with a specific poster (not surprised 😂). Some should take their own advice. If they don’t like what I say, don’t participate in the conversation aka stop quoting me.

I just could see you were growing more and more frustrated with the discussion being had given your snide remarks, passive aggressive commentary, and need to police the conversation as a whole. Personally, that's not my style, I'd much rather be direct, hence the quote. As you were tho =) And just FYI: I never said I hated or didn't care for Katy (in reference to your "number of posts show how much they care about Katy"). In fact, I like a lot of her work. I know a lot of particularly invested fans think you can't simultaneously enjoy or like an artist while holding criticisms of them, but you can. I don't agree with all her actions, but I'm still perched for this release. =)

Yes, if someone repeatedly references me, mentions me, or speaks of me I'm going to respond like most people would. No need to gaslight. <3

In order to divert from someone further derailing the thread, it looks like Daisy is going to appear on the album:

I think announcing the single so early was smart. It allows for a bit of hype to grow, allows for mamixmum knowledge of the single on release, and it allows for all this discussion about Dr Luke to happen before the song comes out, so people will have decided which 'side' they're on before the actual release

Will she have a series of moderate hits? Smashes? Another under-performer? It would be cool to see some predictions! I stick to my "Never Really Over but needlessly plagued by the Doctor" prediction for the single so a top 20 hit on Hot 100 with decent pop airplay.

If she can manage to chart well there everything else will fall in line IMO. "Never Really Over" was as good a pop song as she's ever released and deserved so much better. That should've been a #1 for her!

Damn those are some crazy stats for her certifications. I’m glad ‘Teenage Dream’ finally secured the Diamond.

lol the numbers narrative is gonna backfire if the new song doesn't smash. It's a double edged sword.

lol the numbers narrative is gonna backfire if the new song doesn't smash. It's a double edged sword. And it's all even weirder because she talked about having a bit of an emotional breakdown post Witness (and the way it was received commercially), where she spoke about growing from the experiencing and finally remembering what making music was really about, only to apparently backslide and be consumed/fixated on the idea of commercial success again. Normally I wouldn't feel one way or another about this, I just hope she doesn't continue to place her personal value on chart metrics as hits come and go and commercial success is never guaranteed. Whatever the case, hopefully she's taking care of herself mentally first and foremost this time around so if things go left she'll be ok! She has nothing left to prove chart wise (though a resurgence would be nice). On a side note "Woman's World" is giving me "Stupid Love"/"Born This Way" vibes.

She said that like 2-3 years ago in an interview, and I think it was asked in the context of her having huge success but still without a Grammy. I think she said she cares more about numbers than someone's opinion, or something like that...and I agree with her, Grammys are like cherry on top and a huge honor for sure, but I'd prefer my album to have 10 billion streams or 5 diamond certifications, than AOTY. I mean, even Katy's 'floppiest' album Smile outstreamed Beck's (AOTY winner) entire career.

I'm surprised "Firework" wasn't certified diamond as well as I remember it selling the best out of all the TD singles at one point.

I think it’s around 9.5-9.6? 21 and 25 were truly remarkable and seem unrepeatable at this point
