So it's safe to say that if this had an itunes banner, a performance and a video all happen in one day, it would probably sell a million that week? Hope they don't wait too long tho, I'm hungry for success.
1st (August-November 2013) Roar 2nd (November-December 2013) Unconditionally 3rd (December 2013-April 2014) Dark Horse (featuring Juicy J) 4th (May-August 2014) Walking On Air 5th (September-December 2014) Legendary Lovers 6th (January-April 2015) Birthday 7th (May-August 2015) This Is How We Do
The only single I'd be afraid of underperforming a la Unconditionally is Walking On Air, since it may seem outdated as a single by that time (summer 2014). if it underperforms midway through its chart run, emergency release This Is How We Do & cancel it as summer 2015 single, so it would just end after Birthday in that case.
WoA deserves a release though, and rather sooner than later.

Change "This Is How I Ruin My Career" for "By The Grace Of God" and you've got it perfect.
I need Katy to pull a "Glitter In The Air" at some major award show. I'm sure a video would be breath-taking also.
"International Smile" would be better as an emergency release, but I guess TIHWD could work too.
4th single Legendary Lovers
5th Birthday
6th By The Grace of God (perform at Grammys)
7th Walking On Air/This Is How We Do remix
8th (if they still have success...) It Takes Two ft Bruno Mars
This way 1/2 the album will be singles. Just like Teenage Dream and OOTB (well 1/2 of the good stuff )
4th single Legendary Lovers
5th Birthday

7th Walking On Air/This Is How We Do remix
8th (if they still have success...) It Takes Two ft Bruno Mars
I didn't think about it, but It Takes Two would either be a nice sized hit for her or it would perform just like Unconditionally just did.
This doesn't even need a video, or promo, or to be sent to radios. It's a hit on its own and can fuel album sales by supplementing other singles from the record.
Oh well, at least this will keep Prism going strong during the 1st quarter sales slump.

yes Katy. Deny that buzz single
