The UK is a really weird market and it's not that easy to smash there. Pray for longevity.

Highest charting english song ...
She will end homophobia there with this song
Queen.

Radios really missed the Queen of Mainstream Pop

Seems like Rise is Katy's first song to hit #1 on iTunes France since I Kissed A Girl

This song really brings hope to ppl all around the globe.

It still gives me chills

This smells like a local classic.

A cute quick lil hit all over the world but it's gonna be massive in USA.

There gonna play Rise on one of the UK'S biggest stations soon

It's doing really well worldwide + it's message is global. Hopefully it's a worldwide remembered smash

France is ready for her risky album.

It's only getting light red updates, and new releases tend to fall on weekends, so it's fine. Lead is still pretty big.

She has a deal with Apple Music i believe.

I'm rooting for
Top 5 USA
Top 10 UK
#1 AUS/NZ
debuts

Impacts Pop Radio on July 19th!

Top10 in UK is not happening without Spotify.
#1 in AUS/NZ is unlikely without Spotify as well. top5 in US could happen with video and airplay filling the Spotify lack.

An empowering song better NOT be the KP4 lead single

I don't like this, the melody is boring. Its video is very well-done though.

This is kinda a genius move from her.

Releasing a slow song as a side project. If it smashes then it's great considering her track record with ballads & mid-tempos but if it flops then it's just an Olympics song (that will still remembered thanks to the non-stop NBC promo, a la "Listen")

Faith restored in Capitol

Pull through #Rise It's doing great in sales, worldwide

I want It to go #1 on UK again tho

You're destroying my dreams!
