I believe she'll be fine next era, she does need time to recharge. PRISM was a huge era and the tour is still ongoing and will be taking a lot of energy out of her.

She's smart, she knows what she's doing.

[znake]

Can you stop with those negative posts?

K4 will slay You guys better get a job, do something productive while she's back!!!! and start to save coins for ha!!!!!!!

[Scene.]

I have faith in Katheryn. Her team took notes on what worked and what didn't this era, and will be coming back hard next year.

[Katy V.!]

Is there any source that HH was actually a single in Australia?

I was here during that time and there were only rumours about her label testing the song in Australia, but never an actual release.

Not 100% sure. I think it charted on Australian Airplay charts, but that doesn't really prove anything. Walking on Air received a bit of airplay here too and it was never a single, Dark Horse still gets airplay and it wasn't a single here (stupid charts). I definitely heard it on the radio at least once or twice in late 2012 though.

The second half of Prism is the reason why it's higher than TD The 1st half sounds like a TD reject (Birthday, Roar, TIHWD, IS ).

Nah, literally nobody likes/praised the second half of the album. It's not really entirely the second half's fault (the entire album is inconsistent and there are technical duds in the first half) but it definitely dragged it down from being high 60's to low 60's as far as the first half goes.

Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift were on The Hunger Games soundtrack, Katy can be there as well, if she makes the right song

Don't forget Lorde, Ellie Goulding and Sia. Lots of "pop gurls" have been included, she's not below/above it.

[Reb'l Rêveur]

Dec-May 2016: Songwriting phase
Jun 2016: Lead single
Aug 2016: 2nd single/album release
Nov 2016: 3rd single
Jan 2017: KP4 tour
Feb 2017: 4th single

Am I the only one not expecting her to release more than 4 singles next era?

It'll be messier than R8 and be even more of an under performance than ARTPOP was She's over, it was nice while it lasted I guess. Still hoping she proves me wrong tho

Her manager.

Her manager said album in 2016 so it could be early 2016 and we could have a single or two this year and the plans may change anyways

Her manager said album in LATE 2016 and she won't start writing until fall 2015

[Nialler]

Bradford better clock Steven real quick. I'm not waiting till fall 2016 to get another second half of Prism with her life experiences.

I really don't get how Dark Horse wasn't allowed to be a single in Australia? Do they have a rule about singles being released after being a promo single? Was DWUW treated the same?

Australian charts are stupid. Upon its release in September, Dark Horse smashed as a promo single, even during Unconditionally's run (even WoA got airplay). As it was only a promo single, it wasn't eligible to chart. It wasn't officially released as the third single from PRISM until December, and by then it was too late; it'd already smashed and was on the way out (as was Unconditionally, which peaked at #11 here). It still gets a lot of recurrent airplay despite technically only being a promotional single here.

As for DWUW, it wasn't an entirely similar situation. DWUW was made an official single within days of being released as a promo single, which made it eligible to chart during its peak. It still only peaked at #21 here despite being a fully-fledged single.

Basically, the key factor was time. DH was made an official single two months after it had peaked in Australia, whereas DWUW was made an official single almost instantly after its promotional release.

Aw okay I get it now, thank you!

Dark Horse just peaked far too early over there then does that mean if Unconditionally & Dark Horse were pretty much done by December over there, she didn't have another radio single until Birthday in April?

He actually said that she will probably get bored and start writing in summer. She might already have started

Everyone dragged trash songs like IS and TIHWD so I guess it's the reason why it's still so low.

Katy isn't Ellie, Sia, Ariana or Lorde. Her music and image is too sweet and candy. Never gonna happen.

Ghost and Double Rainbow are two of her best songs. You need to stop
