As much as we love success here, we love to see the pop stars we don't like flop. Pretty much every big pop girl has had one colossal failure of a flop, and it pains people to accept that Katy kind of hasn't really had a true legitimate flop in her career to date. She's had some singles do better than others, and some have underperformed, but none of them have been flops.
ToY is the only song that could really constitute as a major underperformance as it was coming off two Top 3 hits and had a gap of 26 places between HnC and ToY, but this is understandable because her star power wasn't huge at that stage and it was quite a different sound from her upbeat material.
Uncle was only 13 places lower than Roar and was, again, a slower sound for her which was released among three songs (Roar and the two promo singles DH and WoA). Birthday was only 16 places lower than DH and was overshadowed by that song's unpredictable longevity. TIHWD was only 7 places below Birthday and did well given the circumstances; fifth single, low airplay and being released after a non-Top 10 song.
But still, none of them are really "flops". Something that charted for 1-3 weeks in the lower region of the Hot 100 is a flop. Something that debuted high but quickly fell off the charts a few weeks later is a flop. Katy doesn't have a single that really meets these criterion. "Part of Me", perhaps? But nobody is going to call that a flop, just forgotten.

I agree with all of this. If anything it's a compliment because when you think of Katy you think #1 songs, so anything that doesn't go number 1 is considered a flop because it's not up to her standards. She obviously could've planned the era a lot better, but at least all the singles were good songs, at least for me. Hopefully she learned from her mistakes and plans her next era better.

Serves her right for being such a stupid, dumb ass lazy bitch **** who cares more about satisfying a measly dick than her own goddamn career. What I'd give to see the look on her saggy, melting wrinkle/acne ridden face when she realizes that her career is a ticking time bomb that just ****ing exploded and that nobody cares about her or her tired ass antics/music anymore
