Discussion: Could Dark Horse flop?

brndksk

Katy seems to be losing a lot of momentum, and whilst I think DH will be a hit, do you think there is any chance it could be another Unconditionally?

I don't think it's as smashy as ET or Firework, and people just don't seem to be here for the Prism era.

I agree. It's only #6 on iTunes. Plus it's getting very small updates on radio.
The streaming is not promising at all.

#FLOP

Twixxted

No, its already #6 on iTunes with no video and little airplay.

Relampago.

It doesn't matter, as a promo single it already smashed.

Sooyoung

Outside of the US and Australasia? Possibly.

ryanpittman97

The song is already top 10 with no promo/no video

Jack!

Outside the US, possibly. I think it's a dumb single choice when you have Doubke Rainbow, Legendary Lovers, International Smile and Birthday on your album.

Isn't Prism selling great weekly even predicted to sell 90-100k this week

MLover

It's a fun pop track and refreshing from Katys previous efforts. I don't see how it could flop really.

Heartbeat Song

But it's been smashing for months already.

EdgeOfAddiction

Absolutely.
All of the hype for PRISM and her singles seem very front loaded. I think she'll see an exponential decrease in sales and chart performance after the holidays.

johnsuxx

People aren't here for Prism? Then why is it selling 90-100k in its eighth week?

And no, it won't flop- its #6 on iTunes w/ no promo.

PRISM is expected to sell 90-100k this week. Clearly people aren't here for her.

iHype.

Are y'all on something?

It already hasn't flopped. It went Top 20, is Platinum, and is snatching on radio while not a single.

Technically it's done already better than her actual 2nd single, so it's definitely past flop level.

TOASTY

it could be heavily front loaded and peak digitally before it does on airplay, but I don't think it will flop personally...ANY single can flop, in theory

Auburn

The absolute delusion

Diarrhoea

If it flops the world will end. Like seriously, after how much y'all (and me) have gone on about how it should have been the second single, I'd die.

umich

It's going to outpeak Unconditionally next week, so it's not another one of those

Dark Horse doesn't even have Unconditionally-type promo, and it's near the top 5 on iTunes with nearly 1/3 less the airplay.

Marq

Mess. DH will be massive as seen by the fact that it's already nearly top 5 on iTunes with little airplay, no promo, and no video.
