I'm scared to admit it, but I think I'm actually anticipating her album more than Prism. The only real downside is that even though "American Girl" is catchy, it's not a good showcase of her talent. She needs to come more out of left-field to really break through so I hope she has some bigger, better, less derivative tracks in store.

She was as high as #126 this morning. She'll be on GMA in the morning so we can hopefully expect to see a decent increase.

Her GMA performance was cute. She performed with the backup dancers instead of the usual keyboard routine.

The vocals were on point (and they were pretty generous with that backing track), so no faults there. She just seemed nervous and the dancing was still a little awkward. Overall, it was good though.

Back up to #132 on iTunes now. Let's see if it has much effect.

GMA performance


Already up to #121 on iTunes.

New peak on Pop radio (even with a meh update). Stable and climbing on iTunes. The AG videos have amassed 3.1 million views combined.

According to Billboard, American Girl sold 25,000 downloads within it's first 2 weeks (and sales have steadily increased in it's third week).

This was cute. Didn't realize they used her actual house/neighborhood for the video. Definitely gives us a better idea of her personality. (There seemed to be a lot of good shots that they left out of the video... and they ended up making her put pants on at the arcade. lol.)

Not them teaching us how to hotwire and steal a car though.

Strategically releasing this to get back onto the main VEVO pop playlist. Gettin' dat exposure.

Solid increase in downloads for it's 3rd week, will be even better next week.

This needs to have longevity and be given the opening performance on the AMERICAN music awards

She should've been included for the vma's pre show performers

Stuck in my head!!

Sorry, but this is the end of the road for her, the song won't go further than top 40 on Billboard.

I really believe she has talent tho, I think of her as really great artist, you can't tell she is really good creating melodies and transforming them into music, she's fun and writes really well too. However she isn't the spotlight kinda of girl, and she has this voice that doesn't make her any different, and it's terribly high pitched and out of tune live.

For her to ever do well, she has to stop being Katy Perry and be herself, even if she created Katy Perry herself, that artist she created will never be her.

The official music video has passed 2 Million views.

The last few radio updates have been kinda meh, but the song has been stable on iTunes all week. Now is really the time for her to do a bigger TV appearance to gain visibility. GMA in the summer-time really wasn't the audience she's looking for. She needs to do a late show or Kelly & Michael.

(I'm really holding out for her to do Ellen next month when the show starts back up. That'd be her ideal target audience.)

did she forget about the new song she was going to perform for us?

I sort of predicted this might flop once Katy Perry released her lead single and until now it looked like it would go that way, but with today's update I'm hopeful again.

I live this song. But I hope her album is way better than this.
