Firstly, Unconditionally is not a ballad. Say Something, All Of Me, and Stay are good examples of ballads.
I think a lot of people rightly consider Unconditionally a flop because of their expectations of Katy and how her singles have performed in the past. #1 on ANY chart besides the HDS, Hot 100, Streaming Songs, or genre-specific chart (like Hip-Hop Songs but NOT Dance/Club Play Songs) is not a large achievement in the grand scope of things especially for a major player in the pop industry like Katy.
Just because a song is platinum doesn't mean it was a hit... a song can be platinum and still flop. Adore You is platinum.
