Yeah, even if the biggest artist in the world released something like TITHY, they wouldn't sell much. It was a random soundtrack song with extremely heavy handed lyrics and it wasn't catchy or poppy at all. Taylor Swift or Adele would have sold the same if they had recorded it. Again, you can't even compare the two. And as far as the GP knows, Rise is her first single. It's a basic pop song in the vein of any song on Prsim. They're still not buying it. But yeah, let's blame the monsters and try and deflect from your fave's massive decline in popularity. Good luck with that.

I'm living for the emotional implosions that some of y'all are having. It's like the Kats and Brit Bots are having a contest to see who can come up with the most asinine excuses.

I want it dead and gone

You're just too dumb boo now shut the **** up

And not to mention the superbowl where 115 million people watched her

Woo if Gaga did these numbers with LG5's lead single she'd been dragged to hell and back .

Ugh why do I have to love every flop single Rise is really amazing, hope these low numbers convinces her team to expand beyond Apple Music.

she will do these numbers probably even lower tho
market is in doom

Katy didn't even enter the top 10 of 2016

I hope she can recover from this with her next single.

Does this include the Spotify streams?

I don't blame Britney or Katy for these numbers, the digital market really is total ****. Those of you dragging now are gonna have some tough questions to answer when your faves next single comes out!

For godshake, this is just Katy's promo single . You girls are a real mess!

So Pink's and JT's singles are promo too? Well, who cares as long as they promote it like lead singles, moreover they send it to the radio.

Considering it's not catchy or memorable at all, I'm surprised Rise is still #1. I assume it will have longevity throughout the next month with the Olympics so let's not call it a day.

So you're telling me Jordan Smith is gonna sell more thank Katy ?

Monsters remain pathetic

TRAGIC sales, yikes, but at least the music is good.

Why are people comparing TIHTY, a song which leaked in full on the internet about a year before its release on iTunes, a song which received 0 iTunes promotion, 0 radio airplay and 0 morning shows promo to Rise, a surprise released pop single by one of the biggest pop stars of the millennium which also happens to be promoted for one, if not the biggest, sports event in the world?

Tragic numbers overall.
There's no excuse here. Adele pulled over 1,1 million a couple of months ago, JT pulled over 300k with a soundtrack single, Drake, Sia and other artists were selling more than this on weekly basis in the past couple of weeks.
