As much as I'd love to see Katy release WoA or LL I think she needs to end this era after this. It's not normal anymore for anyone to have 5+ singles from one album.
My point is if Katy were releasing brand new singles, they'd be smashing. Trying to recreate TD might be a huge mistake in the long run. Hopefully not.

Then you want her to be like everybody else then?
Be like Rihanna where she releases 3 singles from an album (sometines just 2 singles) and moves on to the next?
What ever happened to having an album last a while?

I'm guessing Taylor's radio deal is hurting this songs AI more than say AATB or boom clap because I would think they'd wanna barrow more AI from a new song rather than one that's already a hit?
Anyway, I think it'll return to gaining nicely once Taylor's deal is over. Streams and sales are more promising than bday, and bday didn't do too bad at radio (minus the free fall)

Unapologetic had 7 singles and only 2 were hits. 4 also had 7 singles and none of them were hits.
She can keep releasing singles as long as she and her team wants to.

She should release WoA and LL. They would smash! WoA in Europe and Australia for sure.

Yeah, you're right. I missed the days of a long SUCCESSFUL era. And Rihanna is the other extreme, but it just doesn't seem to be the norm anymore. But on the other hand, I guess... If anyone can do it, it would be Katy.

She has said she will never be able to repeat the success of Teenage Dream. PRISM has had two mega hits (possible her 2 biggest hits after her more successful era, and some of you acting like she's over?), there is no need to discuss the reason of "underperformed" singles everyday here imo. This Is How We Do is doing fine even with all the bad expectations (including mine). She won't perform it at VMAs, okay. It is a great loss of promo opportunity? Yes. Capitol and her surely must have a good reason for that tho. It's no big deal.

Right? I want there to be at least ONE artist who understands the commercial and artistic benefits of long blockbuster eras. Those are always fun and memorable, but it almost never happens anymore, mainly bc once "great success" turns to "moderate success" or "okay success", labels chicken out.
Back then, Michael, Janet, Madonna, etc. had eras that ran for 2 years before they stopped, but now every era seems to end like 6-8 months after the album release, if not less. It's sad.

Releasing 7 singles isnt a problem as long as Capitol dont waste their money trying to promote them.
If she sends her songs to radio and gets more Top 20 or Top 40 hits with sales over 500k that would be acceptable because it keeps the era alive and album sales remain consistent while she's on tour.
She is not losing anything.

Madonna and Michael had huge hits and small hits but they didnt stop releasing singles when something wasnt Top 10.

I'm pretty sure this album is going to get at least 1 more single regardless of how TIHWD performs. Katy is on tour until next year and it wouldn't make any sense to end the era before she is ready to start working on a new album. A re-release is also a possibility since we know that she was working with Dr. Luke again earlier this year and we know that there are at least 2 leftovers from the PRISM sessions (Bad Photographs and the Zedd-produced song).
If a re-release does happen she should release it in February or March, after the Grammys and her possible Superbowl performance.

Exactly! Like, unless the era is a total commercial bust from the start (like Glitter, Bionic, Britney Jean, etc.), then it shouldn't bother the label if the next single after a #1 only reaches #7, or if the 4th/5th single only goes top 20. As long as they aren't flopping into oblivion, then keep the era going until the 6th-8th single. It ensures sales longevity, more exposure, more memorability/iconography, and a bunch of other good stuff.
That's kinda why I want "Double Rainbow" to be the 6th single. I feel it's commercial enough to become a moderate top 20 hit, and it's music video/promo performances would probably be visually stunning. Plus, it fits the Winter season more so than "Legendary Lovers", which I feel should be the 7th and final single during the Spring, when the weather warms up.

6 singles from an era is the ideal. She should release Legendary Lovers, finish the tour and that's it. No rerelease this time please.
Also, TIHWD is doing fine. At this rate it will be at least Gold, even with this small airplay.
On Bcharts (the brazilian forum), they ranked the female albums with most singles sold all time in the US. PRISM is already #12 just with Roar, Dark Horse and Unconditionally. Teenage Dream is #1 and One Of The Boys is #10.
ps. Capitol is the biggest label this year gurls, they are not losing anything even if Katy sold just 1k copies believe me. They signed the two biggest new acts of 2014 in terms of album sales, Sam Smith and 5 Seconds Of Summer. They also have Katy, Broods, Troye Sivan... and The Beatles catalog, which still generate millions and millions.
