If she still cares about charts and success, the floppage of this album will teach her a lesson and she won’t work with Luke anymore. But she is not that bright so i guess she’ll continue to work with him 😂

Idk about labeling her not "bright" cause I don't personally know her, but she's established regardless. Just having fun and loving her actual fans.
Pretty sure if she wanted to get some bots and payola off, she could lol.

Becky is kind of a big start on Latin markets. I do agree with you that a lot big names will not work with him without an NDA and a credit removal; which is why people were so reluctant to believe the rumours about Katy having him on 143 at first lol. Hopefully this era convinces Katy to leave Luke alone and swap him out with new producers and she brings back Bonnie. I doubt it though as she doesn't really listen to anyone as she said (for better or for worse apparently). Oh I bet you they tried to get Bonnie back in to co-write. And she said no. For... reasons. I don't know that Luke is a great writer, I'm sure it was Max/Bonnie lifting up Teenage Dream. Great producer, yes.

Happy 143 week! Buckle up ladies, this week is going to be one for books... but why tho? I mean, if someone is excitedly waiting to watch her downfall, that downfall already happened. She's no longer an artist that sells 100k+ units, her last #1 album was 7 years ago, her last top 20 hit 5 years ago, last top 10 also 7 years and last #1 10 years ago, Smile didn't have any songs on the Hot 100 in its opening week, so unless the album sells like 10-15k units, what would be so surprising to see? It's sad to see that a spot in the top 5 or 10 on the Billboard 200 is no longer a guarantee for her, and that she struggles to chart on the Hot 100 and Spotify's charts, but when you consider everything, it's understandable. Only TWO albums between PRISM and 143 (11 years, she's no Adele) and those two albums happened when she struggled mentally and was pregnant during the pandemic, mix that with LOTS of bad decisions and single choices during those 11 years and when finally a glimmer of light and hope appeared, she ruined it. So yeah, I'd be happy if she moves 30k+ and charts in the top 10, but at the same time, I don't care anymore. Hoping there are some bops on the album, and we still got an amazing Vanguard performance, so AT LEAST the VMAs were a nice little win for her.

On the positive side, if I order the CD of this album, I only have to pay $2.14, thanks to my Amazon points saved up! That seems to be a fair price. I was originally planning on trying to get the vinyl for free, but I don't have enough points and $20-ish dollars seems like too much for the vinyl.

It's a good thing Katy Kats aren't Jennifer Lopez or even Taylor fans or they would've crumbled having to deal with actual unnecessary/unjustified hatred/vitriol toward their fav as of late. lol Katy is certainly no victim in this situation she perpetrated and gave no f**ks about repairing (saying pretty much "f y'all" in her VMA speech) so any backlash or consequence of her own actions she brought on herself. I admire the level of blind devotion and optimism required to believe your fav never ever makes mistakes or feel they should be criticized when they mess up tho. Personally, Katy's like Nicki for me: I love her material so much, but her personality and character keeps me from being a super fan.
As for 143, I see it opening half of what Smile opened with. So I'm expecting 25k, which isn't good, but I haven't expected it to be, so it's what it is. I have been really enjoying "I'm His, He's Mine" surprisingly! I don't think anyone is expecting a blockbuster opening or single for Katy at this stage but I did see some predicting 100k for 143 opening week so, I think it's possible some may be surprised by the outcome, but who knows?! Maybe she'll surprise the hell out of us all and open with 120k or something crazy. lol
