Yeah Katy can be.......tricky. She's not a headlines magnet, nor generates as much interest, but her singles do so well regardless.
With an image revamp, and more """mature""" singles and sappy midtempos (assuming the world isn't over them yet), why wouldn't she able to serve some P!nk tea of unexpected slayage ?
I kind of expect Katy to steamroll Blurred Lines. If Part Of Me can open to 411K, I'm expecting 500K+ for a lead single with four days of built airplay before release. I really think she should challenge 600K, but I won't get too outrageous with the predictions just yet. That damn Killer Queen commercial...
The airplay gap between #ROAR and BL will probably be ~110-140M, so she'll need to outsell him by like 250-300K not counting any streaming they might have.
