i cant help but kinda agree with this
even though obviously shes improving sales album to album which is good, and shes more of a singles powerhouse than an album power house.

Katy is not established to be an album seller. Justin is.

To be fair we should wait until ARTPOP release week and see where BTW is, unless Teenage Dream has always been this far ahead of BTW on this chart.

300k is great, and yes, she is huge since her last era, so what?
100K improvement is a lot in these days. She will end up with 3 million sold in the US.
Something most of your faves can dream of nowadays  .
And Rihanna and Britney stans should shut the hell up, look how their last albums opened, lmao.

Oh how tragic an album with non stop promos would sell as much as the FF in the first week. So you are the one who should shut your mouth.

Hopefully she can crack the 300k mark, which wouldn't be bad at all. Katy is steadily building up her career, hence her album sales in debut weeks not immediately exploding but still improving noticeably.

Blows my mind when people speak like they know exactly what's going to happen within the next year.
Congrats to Katy!

That's good. Too good for her in my opinion. Her talentless ass doesn't deserve this success. She makes such generic and formulaic music...and her live performances don't make up for it, they're just so the only good things about her that I can think of are her boobies, but these don't justify her success as a musician, if she was a playmate or something I'd get it, but she's a horrific singer and a bad performer  and her personality doesn't compensate for her lack of talent either, bitch is so boring!! Beyoncé and Taylor Swift seem wild in comparison to her. I know you guys will call me pressed and you'll be totally right to do so but I just had to let it all out, can't stand that woman and I have to hear her cheesy songs and see her face everywhere and everyday... she's omnipresent
Congrats though  |

Certainly, the 2nd week drop could change my perception, but she's doing a lot of promo and she will definitely not stop, so right now I honestly believe this one will be Platinum by early December. And then you still have 2-3 holiday weeks.

Pretty sure Teenage Dream re-entered BB200 before news of the Prism truck even came to light.
