This.

I said it before and I WILL SAY IT AGAIN to the katy stans.

Unconditionally should have been a promo and the single release should have been the following

August-Nov Roar VMAs, EMAs/AMAs
Promo singles: walking on air and unconditionally as Roar was still roaring in Oct/Nov (EMAs)
Dec-April Dark horse
April-July This is how we do ft Iggy (This is SUCH A SPRING Anthem) BBMAs/Iheart
August-Nov Birthday (Such a fall anthem) AMAs
Nov-February Legendary lovers perfect winter anthem love song before Valentines
Mar-June Double rainbow/Choose your battles or Spiritual (long shot)...something showing a transition into a more adult contemporary sound.

She can't keep doing Roars in her 30s...there was a reason she made a point to say that she's 29 now and she has one time to be in her 20s.

She'll reinvent herself to a more a/c with pop sound era 4 and the last single could have been a good transition.

I like that. But I think the promo singles kind of messed things up anyway. She should have just had one promo single, Walking on Air.

1. Roar (August 2013)
Promo: Walking on Air (September 2013)
=== PRISM (October 2013) ===
2. Dark Horse (November 2013)
3. This Is How We Do (May 2014)
Remix: This Is How We Do feat. Iggy Azalea (July 2014)
4. Legendary Lovers (September 2014)
Remix: Legendary Lovers feat. Drake (November 2014)
5. This Moment (January 2015)
6. Birthday (April 2015)
7. Walking on Air (June 2015)
8. By The Grace of God (October 2015)

The first two are obvious. Release TIHWD and let it build, then release the Iggy remix to help it smash during Summer, just after Fancy success. Legendary Lovers to follow, uses the same pattern of building and then remix. This Moment as a change of pace single, people think the era is closing. Then release Birthday after Sugar by Maroon 5 smashes, basically a Black Widow 2.0 but this time in Katy's favour. Then use the era momentum and Birthday's smashing to help promo single Walking on Air become a hit. Finally close the era out with a slow touching ballad that was performed at the Grammys earlier in the year.

She was lucky to even get a Top 40 hit after Doomsday killed her radio support. TIHWD was just too big to be put down by no radio support.

if TIHWD was performed 2-3 times it would have had at least 500m views by now (if not more)

SA is the last leg of the tour, and we know she recorded stuff on her breaks. And she have another big break on the summer.
I think K4 on summer 2016 is not impossible.

she has already recorded stuff & she will record during summer too

Lead single is coming before the end of this year

Fair enough.

I agree with the remixes.
NOt here for #5 but I like what you did though with other selections.

[halcyonday]

Both Birthday and TIHWD are pure trash

[Aurora]

Neither are trash, both are pop perfection, but TIHWD is superior.

4 AND A HALF YEARS LATER

[slw84]

So goldsoundz is nowhere to be found.
Have we determined he was legit? I liked reading his tea.

Nonetheless

Nevermind where I got this but a credible source has provided calcuations regarding most successful songs and artist of the decade (they include streaming and such and have a mathematical calc for it)
Songs
1 PARTY ROCK ANTHEM (=)
2 WE FOUND LOVE (=)
3 SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW (=)
4 ROLLING IN THE DEEP (=)
5 HAPPY (=)
6 BLURRED LINES (=)
7 CALL ME MAYBE (=)
8 DARK HORSE (=)
9 ROYALS (=)
10 ALL ABOUT THAT BASS (=)

I actually think Dark horse can end the era only slipping to #10...i think it'll rise to #7 and then fall to #10 with a few big smashes

Artists
1 KATY PERRY (=) 6.84
2 RIHANNA (=) 6.13
3 BRUNO MARS (=) 5.67
4 TAYLOR SWIFT (=) 5.0
5 MAROON 5 (=) 3.7
6 LADY GAGA (=)
7 KE$HA (=)
8 NICKI MINAJ (=)
9 ADELE (=)
10 DRAKE (=)
The points are as of late Jan 15' The top 3 is going to be a tight race.
I don't think Taylor will be a threat for top 3 with her songs.

I do think Rihanna's next two eras will put her closer to 6.8 and the 3rd one following it would surpass that.

I do think Bruno if he has a big era again will give RIhanna a run

I believe that Katy just needs a 4th era early 2017 and a GHs era in late 2018 and she will get up to 7.2-7.5 points and easily be the #1 songs artist of the decade followed by a tight race between Rihanna and Bruno (thankfully for Katy Rihanna's big hits in 2007-2009 were not included).

Short story long KATY rules the 2010s songs.

Taylor or Adele will rule the albums charts but hey FEMALES running the 2010s era

MJ ran the 80s with Madonna behind.
Mariah carey ran the 90s with Janet behind
Eminem/Usher ran the 00s with Britney/Alicia/Beyonce behind.
Now Katy/Rihanna most likely with Bruno in a slight chance for #2 run the 10s with Bruno or Rihanna behind.
20's males will dominate and continue the songs domination trend

Will she tour South America fully? Or just Colombia?

Will more dates be added?

Base is alive again.

Btw I disagree that she will go on a gentle downhill trajectory. Bey came back stronger than ever with self titled except Katy actually knows how to promote. If she markets herself well a la Taylor and puts out something genuinely interesting (and hopefully tops it off with an amazing performance at high profile tv show) the GP could be more interested than ever.

[Katy.Kat.23]

I really don't understand why all of you want an album of Choose Your Battles and Spirituals. I mean, they're good and all but they're pretty boring and I forget they exist most of the time, like idk why you want her to kill her career like that.

Maybe some people are tired of these kids bops she makes and then releases as singles. The GP agrees.

[SeanET]

where is Ferst? are we going to get the rest of the results before 2016?

Not when Dark Horse and Roar are still in the top 200.
Dark Horse isn't really a kids bop, but that's the direction that she needs to go in. Be ahead of the curve and do some more urban influenced songs, maybe even R&B influences. Spiritual and Choose Your Battles are NOT it.

I agree with Dark Horse part, but really need more mature songs like Spiritual and less bops like Birthday or This Is How We Do. 1 kid bop (Roar) per era is enough.
