you guys are so patient. in kpop your faves come back like every 6-8 months this is my first time waiting for katy and damn im gonna be ancient

I'm a Kesha stan too, remember. Her last album was a year before PRISM, and her next album probably won't come until a year after #K4, at the earliest.

I also stanned The Veronicas (Australian pop duo) and their second and third albums had a 7 year gap between releases.

I can't go another year without new Katy music

At least we've got the Christmas song.

It better go at least Top 10. If she can't even send a Christmas song to the Top 10 after not releasing anything for over a year...

[Dylobs]

The Christmas song/album/whatever will most likely bridge me over as a stan for a few extra months. But the wait ahead for KP4 is definitely going to be long.

Let's face it, you don't listen to a Christmas song for the quality of the song. Everyone has an idea about what a Christmas song should sound like.

I would actually scream (with excitement) if she released a Dark Horse-like Christmas song with sleigh bells over a trap beat.

[Dylobs]

If it's AIWFCIY level song then I'd die inside (of happiness). I wonder how different sounding Katy will make the song sound. But it would also give this base something to talk about for another year.

There's only so many rates (like the one in my sig that not all of you have sent in ) and conversations about the era's expectations/Prism's disappointments that can occur.

Last year only 4 albums went platinum and one of them was Pentatonix's Christmas album released in October. Michael Bublé's Christmas album is one of the best selling albums of the decade. As you can see, Christmas music can be very successful.

[KillingYourCareer]

I'm beyond unexcited for the Christmas song. I literally couldn't care less about Christmas or Christmas music

[Aurora]

I have a confession to make, Kats.

After 1 year and 10 months (with the help of the PRISM Acoustic Sessions), I'm a fan of It Takes Two.



Now Spewitual is the only PRISM bonus track I'm yet to fall in love with.

Stan for the best deluxe track, #6-peak and Grammy winning smash that got away

Which is why she needs to release a full album, not just a full song.

Chances are, the song will peak around the #11-#15 mark like "Unconditionally", #6-#10 if it gets great promo and first week sales and has a music video. Christmas songs don't typically top the charts, but considering Katy hasn't released anything for a while (Ariana's Christmas song was released mid-era, so that's not really an accurate comparison), it could do well if it has one concentrated amount of sales/streams/airplay(?)/promo.

Whereas a Christmas album is almost guaranteed to do well. Katy is a popular artist, Christmas albums cater to a huge demographic and get a yearly boost. It'd be a fantastic catalogue seller and Christmas singles are usually used to drive sales for the album, and not usually stand-alone non-album releases. But the H&M campaign makes me think it could just be a stand-alone release which would honestly be quite pointless and almost guarantees it will be a non-event.

!!!

Although I HIGHLY doubt that it'll be as successful as "Christmas", which sold around 9M+ , it's a good (albeit somewhat safe) idea, commercially speaking, for something that'll push her album sales for years to come.

If she makes a trap-infused Christmas song

Let the light in with It Takes Two the should've, would've, could've, 5th single from Prism

That's what I'm thinking too.

You're not leaving me like this

It's not over til I say it is!

[Aurora]

Now I'm just looking up trap remixes of Christmas songs on YouTube.

[Abducted]

She was in the studio for some days in between her private concerts (she's becoming a private concerts singer, she has done 5 these summer). Idk how long it takes to record a album, but for now, I got the feeling that's just a song.
