Britney is never seeing success again, but she can definitely release another good album. She released her best album (Femme Fatale) well after her peak.
Katy Perry's “This Is How We Do” is the fifth highest new entry on this week's Hot 100 at #88, below new ones by not only such high-flyers as Jessie J/Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj and Maroon 5, but also such non-A listers as the female country twosome Maddie & Tae and the long-absent Hilary Duff. This relatively low entry, at least for a star of Perry’s magnitude, reflects the fact that two of her last three singles fell short of the top 10. “Unconditionally” peaked at #14. “Birthday” stalled at #17.
This is the fifth single from Perry’s Prism album, and follow-up singles generally don’t debut or peak as high as the initial singles from an album. But that certainly wasn’t the case with the fifth single from Perry’s previous album, Teenage Dream. That song, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” re-entered the Hot 100 at #63 in June 2011 and climbed to #1. As you probably remember, each of the album’s first five singles reached #1.
This is an important single for Perry. Certainly it wouldn’t spell doom for her career if it failed to make the top 10, but surely she and her record company would like to put her back in that elite territory, if only to put an end to pesky items such as this one.
Gaga wasn't successful long enough to have a proper fanbase.
Thinking about making this my sig.
41 million followers, slaying that annoying MTVhottest contest - I mean, she might not have the best sales power anymore but she definitely has a strong, active fanbase
Brinty will one day release an introspective album with a black and white cover and on it she will be wearing a black, silk, button-down top and glasses. I can't recall which one, but either Kylie or Madonna did something like it.
