The radio receipts are quite old, but they're more accurate than no radio receipts.

You accused me of using local radio receipts and yet used local sales receipts yourself... E.T. was when the Teenage Dream era started to decline worldwide, check the chart peaks - it struggled to get into the Top 15 in many of the countries it charted in. It is unlikely E.T. is well remembered or streamed in the many countries it was a minor hit in - implying the streams are fairly local.
3 of the 5 Teenage Dream singles with fair Youtube views have higher views than it, even Part of Me is almost equal with it. TD and CG obviously have poor views, but they are undoubtedly bigger hits and more remembered than ET so they get a pass from me.
Hell, E.T. isn't even Top 10 Of currently popular Katy Perry tracks on Spotify for me whilst every other TD single is (is this a global chart or a local UK one?).
"Completely forgotten" might be pushing it, but it's undoubtedly towards the bottom half of a list of her songs in order of iconicness. I'd put Thinking of You, The One That Got Away, Birthday, This Is How We Do and Waking Up In Vegas below it for sure, I'd be open for debate on if E.T. or Part of Me should come after those. She has 9 more remembered songs than it regardless.
(Though I guess you'd argue TIHWD is more iconic than ET because it has more streams?)
First time in at least a year or two
