She tweeted a while ago too saying we were getting it "sooner than we think" so yeah, I don't think it's because of Eminem and Coldplay acting as a threat or anything.
The best thing about this version of Perry's leaden electro-pop jam isYeezy flinging a pitch-shifted 16 before the song really begins — though rhyming "astronaut" with "get ass a lot," he sounds like

Katy Perry’s “Roar” holds at #2, where it debuted last week. The song is #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the second straight week. It’s the first song to spend its first two weeks at #1 on that chart since Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” spent its first five weeks on top in August-September 2012. The song sold 392K digital copies this week. That’s the biggest second-week sales tally since Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” sold 509K in its second week in February 2011. Only one other song in digital history (besides these two) has sold 350K or more copies in its second week. That’s Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” which sold 460K in its second week in February 2009.
