Doesn't matter how much it increases. Even 150k is dismal for new music after a 3 year hiatus.

Expecting her to pull 2013 numbers with a non-lead single that was randomly thrown onto iTunes unannounced beforehand is not sensible. 150k would be respectable given all the circumstances RISE had to overcome. It doesn't even have Spotify exposure.

I wonder how the leads of the other pop girls will fare. With rapidly declining sales,I wonder if their faves can open with 'only 140k' atleast.

there´s something inbetween 140k and 550k tho. i would, beforehand, had guessed Katy would do like 250k OW with her new song tbh.

Latest update: Rise goes down a little bit, and Make Me continues to fall in sales prediction; down to #11 on iTunes.

#2 Rise (=)
#12 Make Me (-1)

I love coming up with excuses too!

Tbh I expected something like 500k for katy since she's a huge popstar I feel sorry for her, I might not be a fan but I still like some of her songs.

Katy's is not a first single it's a random buzz single without a Katy video, did I miss something?

ATRL seriously trying to come for "Rise"? Wow the Katy hate is too much in here.

Please compare it against other random buzz singles not against first singles cus it's not a first single. Fair comparison would be against "Til it happens to you", Jlo's recent soundtrack song or Britney's Smurfs movie song, how much did those sell? They had MUCH more promo. But don't compare it to first singles.

If Katy is a "main" pop girl, she should be selling more.

It's the theme of the olympics, it has a video, being sent to radio, and it's iTunes exclusive.

I'm not sure how I feel about its performance other than underwhelming. I was expecting AT LEAST 200k.

Hopefully the next bubble gum pop song she releases is coming soon.

that's why I'm saying a buzz and a lead single are not comparable

Also I don't seem to recall any Olympics song being massive seller either

[KKCuteCat]

It's funny how people compare Rise to the real lead single. Some even uses the excuse that GP don't know it is the buzz single. You girl might underestimate them a little bit . GP might not care that much but they ain't that stupid.

You literally have no room to complain about hate.

I don't think that Katy will free fall now like you guys think, just because she fell a couple of stops; I think she'll stay in the top 10 until the sales week closes. On the other hand, I think Britney will continue freefalling, and fall out of the top 20 by tonight.

Rihanna did 126K in 1.5 days. The song went on to top the Hot 100 for 9 weeks.
