Originally posted by Kworb It is tiring indeed. All the negativity is so unnecessary. After Birthday flopped so tragically we can only be happy that the era is sort of back on its feet. TIHWD still moving up.

Originally posted by goldsoundz It will hopefully go Top 15 on Pop--it depends on how Ed and Coldplay do next week. Sales are also the problem. If she went Top 10 on iTunes, it could possibly outpeak "Birthday," but I don't see that happening.

Originally posted by Nialler It's so tiring to see how desperate some people are to drag the single that sold twice as much as this one without a proper muisic video.

Originally posted by Kworb Did you forget about its massive airplay, the BBMA performance, the iTunes promo? Let that tragedy rest in peace.

Originally posted by Nialler Last week #1 on pop radio: 22 Charli XCX - Boom Clap They recently learned that you can't force something that's not a hit down people's throats therefore TIHWD will not get any big airplay. And yes, I remember that Skype performance. Birthday was smash WAITING to happen.

Nah, "Birthday" was definitely planned to be the 3rd single. I remember her manager saying it was "scheduled to leave earlier" but it's release was delayed when "Dark Horse" started smashing out of nowhere. (I've said it once and I'll say it again: "Dark Horse"'s single release is simultaneously the best and worst thing to come out of this era )

I don't believe they never considered "Dark Horse" as a choice until it smashed tho. I mean, they released "E.T.", and that was a promo single too. I think it was in contention for 4th single (or maybe they never got to the point of having to decide what the 4th single was bc it decided for itself when the 2nd single came out )

"This Is How We Do" definitely feels like it was supposed to be a 4th/5th single tho. "Legendary Lovers" has been confirmed since like earlier this year, so there's always been plans for it (probably as the final single).

And other than that, idk. "Walking On Air" seems like it's been a "maybe" single choice during the album campaign, but there's always been better single choices. If the era would've gone the way it was planned, Katy probably would've released "Walking On Air"/"Double Rainbow"/"International Smile"/"Ghost" as the 6th single. Definitely something random.

Originally posted by Prismatic It's kinda crazy how Katy (and her team) had zero intentions of releasing Dark Horse as a single.

Originally posted by goldsoundz But there's really no point in debating this anymore until there's confirmation that a consensus has been reached in favor of releasing another single from Prism in the fourth quarter.
