I'm convinced her label bought the majority of the 1 million sales. Either that or there's something wrong with people in America. I don't get how she sold a million for an album like 1989.

Marketing genius right there.

I totally believe that she sold those copies fair and square. Not since 21 have I seen an album release be such a huge event. All of my friends were blasting songs from it the very week of its release, having discussions with each other, (and roping me into it), as to what the best tracks on the album are, and radio stations are blowing up with contests for one of her concerts that doesn't even happen until next Halloween.

Marketing your products to quirky, innocent, trendy White girls is a guaranteed success story for your business in America. See Taylor, Frozen, Starbuck's, Chipotle, Hunger Games, and Big Bang Theory.

I'll never underestimate her again. She has as much talent as a blackened dead toe that needs to be cut off, but she's business smart. She literally slaughtered Katy with a Katy album.

It makes me wonder what Katy is gonna do for her Superbowl promo since she works with Max Martin too. If I were her I'd be pissed I got trumped by someone else using the same producers I used.

Even though it's planned to be the second single, I don't think it really will be. I don't see this doing well on radio, nor streaming, nor sales. They'll drop it for something else once they see it fail.

I'm shocked she loves this song so much and all of sudden wants to perform it over the actual lead single.

Baby Don't Lie almost having more streams than Hollaback Girl? Hm. Not too bad, even though those streams probably look terrible compared to her competition's streaming (like Irreleventikira's ridiculous and bought streaming numbers for songs no one has heard of).

It seems like she thinks it'll be her Hollahback Gurl, but I don't think anyone on her team has the balls to tell her it won't work. That's the problem with these older artists (Mariah, J.Lo, etc).

So out of touch with what's hot right now.

Haters were saying that Columbia was buying 21. It was so ridiculous. As if labels have time to buy millions of albums of one artist. Just some albums click; some don't.

Here's hoping Auerbach stayed as far away as possible from Lana for her third album.

1989 sounds nothing like a Katy album.

The verses are too clunky and the chorus is to repetitive and basic to work.

Idk, that's what all the Katy stans are saying, but then they've lost it a bit as a result of Taylor's earth shattering success.

[Skywalker]

Like.. Can't Remember To Forget You having 90 million streams? I can understand the music video because it is extremely sexual and features two gorgeous women but the song itself? Dare (La La La) having 17 million streams?

I don't think she'll flop but she'll definitely decline especially if she continues her generic shtick. Madonna wouldn't have a 30 year career without reinventing herself.

Katy is business smart, she knows that.
Her next project won't be bubblegum pop.

She will re-release Teenage Dream for a 3rd time and it will flop, have a minor success as a lead (that's garbage) and that'll be it forever. She can't rebound because she has no talent + why katy when you can taylor ?

Probably because 1989 is good and has non-singles with substance. Poor Katy's entire discography.

There's two versions. The World Cup one has to have like 100 million by now. I'd be shocked if it doesnt.

[Jezang Looz]

Taylor has stronger lyrics and a less obnoxious-in-your-face popstar cartoon image. Pretty much the only difference between them.

Mte. Why would they waste millions of dollars to buy something if it wasn't going to profit themselves in return? People just really don't get it.

Making music that caters to both teenage girls and the adult alternative crowd is the key in selling today, as you look at Taylor, Ed, Adele, and Sam. I don't know how the industry isn't picking up on this.

It's actually identical except a bit more boring and safe. Which is realllly weird
