You're right. I rounded down to 1.4B based on those three values alone, as it's not quite at 1.5B.
1,075,967,950 (VEVO music video)
300,805,739 (Spotify audio)
84,508,073 (VEVO audio)
= 1,461,281,762 streams
However, there's also:
21,723,766 (Stop Baby Crying Viral Video)
11,767,248 (Live At BRIT Awards)
6,205,558 (Music Video Preview)
1,304,159 (VEVO's Do It YourSelfie)
Which is another 41,000,731 streams, bringing the total to 1,502,282,493. Including streams from other non-official YouTube uploads and of course Apple Music and Tidal, it's clearly well over 1.5B overall, possibly nearing 1.6B.

Every pop girl not named Taylor or Adele is going to be hard-pressed to crack 250,000 U.S. debut sales at this point, in my opinion. Most of them will be lucky to crack 200,000 with how quickly streaming is rising. Album sales are dying faster than ever.
I think Katy's next album will probably be in the 220,000-230,000 range.

This. However, in saying that, Katy's always been a bit of a dark horse, pardon the pun. Just when you think she can't or she won't do something, she does (minus winning a Grammy). I think if any female pop star is capable of pulling a 300k+ week opening besides Taylor and Adele, it's Katy, especially after the PRISMATIC World Tour gross has completely blown everyone's initial predictions out of the water.
But of course, all of this would only be possible with the right timing, promo and "first taste" single choices (lead single and any subsequent releases, i.e. promo or second singles).

One thing I'm sure is that the add of streaming/tracks to the BB 200 is gonna benefit her, she's a streaming monster and with a single smashing during the album release she could have a big debut

I agree, and since sales are more dead than ever she could even get multiple weeks at #1 thanks to TEA & SEA

I still can't believe she dodged a bullet with Unconditionally by releasing Dark Horse only to ruin the era with the Birthday video. Everything up until that was going great, even Birthday's lyric video was next-level.

Well as of now I have got 23 votes (not including mine) and the deadline for the submission of results is the 21st of August. I'll begin revealing them on the 31st of August with maybe 4 a day.
---
Prism will debut around 250k US and around 500k WW I guess. Good numbers with the potential to do between 3M and 5M WW

Dark Horse literally saved the era, she shouldn't have released a ****ing ballad as 2nd single. I know that it's her favorite from the album but the title alone makes it not single-worthy

Yeah... it was a joke. I liked the video at first but after blind stanning wore off, I saw it for what it really is; a cringeworthy mess. Sugar made you feel happy for the couples, whereas Birthday wasn't funny, it was just tryhard and made you annoyed that she was destroying these birthday parties. It showed her in a negative light. I don't know why anyone would have thought that was a good message to try and convey?
At least the lyric video is as good as it is otherwise Jesus, it wouldn't have even gone Top 20.

And after Birthday, This Is How We Do It was like they didn't give a **** about the era after DH smashed. I think Katy should let her team discuss which songs could potentially perform better than others, still with her input though. I don't get why she didn't release WOA since radio asked her for it and she said she loves it

“Unconditionally”
Katy’s favorite song on the album follows the Teenage Dream model to a letter: ambient synths and powerful drums (the angels in the last song stopped their tears to take up percussion) building to an absolutely huge chorus. “Open you heart and let it begin,” she sings. “I will love you unconditionally.” Not the most creative way anyone’s ever expressed feelings, but we were so taken in by the heavenly pounding we didn’t care a lick.
Is it a single? Yes yes yes yes yes.
Could it go to no. 1? Definitely.

Quote:
“Dark Horse” (ft. Juicy J)
Is that a trap beat? It certainly sounds like it, perfect for the arrival of strip-club anthemizer Juicy J. Perry is perfectly insistent while making threats about “playing with magic,” but Juicy J’s verse is so mumbled that we couldn’t tell if it was good or not.
Is it a single? As the only track we heard with a feature, it might get the “E.T.” slot.
Could it go to no. 1? Don’t think so.
|
Quote:
“Birthday”
Perry told the listening party that this track was a deliberate homage to Mariah Carey’s debut album, as well as the work of ’80s funk duo Wendy & Lisa. The result is a club-ready party jam with ’90s-style synths and a heavy 4/4 thump. As you might expect, Perry has fun with all the double-entendres the subject has to offer—by the end, she’s whispering “Happy birthday” like a perfect Marilyn.
Is it a single? We think so!
Could it go to no. 1? Possibly, but not as a second single. The pump will need to be primed with something else first.

Quote:
“This Is How We Do”
A girl’s-night-out anthem, and the latest in a recent trend of songs that consist of a narrator listing different things they see happening at a party. Less comical than “Last Friday Night,” and not as nakedly hedonistic as “We Can’t Stop,” “This Is How We Do” plays its antics largely straight, but there are a few crowd-pleasing extras around the margins, particularly a fake fade-out and Katy’s mid-song dedication to “the ladies at breakfast in last night’s dresses.”
Is it a single? We don’t think so, but we’re wary of betting against a Song For The Ladies.
Could it go to no. 1? See above.

Quote:
“Walking on Air”
The genre experimentation continued with what Perry called her “deep house” track, inspired by Crystal Waters and CeCe Peniston and produced by Klas Åhlund (the man behind “Call Your Girlfriend”). This is the clubbiest track we heard all night, with overwhelming bass and a People-Get-Ready style breakdown about “angels crying from up above.” Katy told us it was perfect for “a big fat queen-off.”
Is it a single? Yes.
Could it go to no. 1? Probably.

Screaming at Unconditionally being a "definite" #1 and Dark Horse not.
