There's also no reason to base Katy's Christmas song's success on previous totally unrelated Christmas songs.

Saying "Christmas songs don't go number one" is a stupid reason to assume it won't go #1, especially when we haven't even heard the song.

It's better to set lower expectations that are met than set really high standards that won't get reached + get us dragged.
I hope it'll do well but...

I think the Christmas song will be very Katy and not too traditional, so a top 10 would be nice, but im not getting my hopes up atm

Mistletoe by Justin Bieber was like the last relatively big Christmas song and that had an album and an entire promo campaign supporting it, plus Bieber's fanbase then was bigger than Katy's ever has been. Still didn't go top 10.

EDIAH will not be a hit and it will be forgotten by next Christmas. Love Katy but let's just be real. At least we get new music and it'll probably be a bop

Every Day Is a Holiday will be safe & "for the fans"

And he had massive promotion around the world and it bombed.

It won't be successful so just pray that it's good.

Katy has the GP over Justin tho.

If Duke Dumont is actually involved I have faith it'll be good, he always serves the bops

The GP is not going to buy a Christmas song in November though. The GP in general doesn't really use new Christmas songs anymore, they already have their Christmas classics

If you really care what others say... sure, aim low.



I know the stats. I know the history. I know the likelihood yadayada etc. I don't care about any of that. It's possible. It all depends on the specifics. But to deny it has a shot at #1 based on the fact that other songs didn't without even hearing the song isn't good enough for me.

[RoarRiteNow1]

It's called being realistic Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if it smashed too, but it's extremely unlikely

Mistletoe was released in October. That was dumb.

I think you're missing what I'm saying here. I'm saying that essentially if all of the stars, planets and Katy's boobs aligned, it has a shot at #1. I'm not saying that if she haphazardly throws it up on iTunes it'll go #1. I'm not delusional. She'll need.

-- A BOP of a song that isn't too Christmas-y
-- iTunes, Spotify and amazing music video released same time (midnight at start of tracking week)
-- H&M campaign to take over social media with ads for song on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Insta, Snapchat etc.
-- Radio deal for first week of release
-- Multiple live performances
-- Boost from not having released a new song since 2014
-- Boost from Super Bowl

And with all of that, maybe it can go #1. I don't care if it drops off the charts the next week. If she actually TRIES she can make it a hit. Most Christmas songs don't get that much promo.

Nawt her boobs aligning
===


Yeah that turtle neck isn't really flattering from behind

[Aurora]

Who am I kidding? Katy's team is a tragic mess. Watch her put it up on iTunes and have one flop H&M ad in some fugly sweater and no music video and think that will be enough. #43 debut then off the chart in 2 weeks.

[Abducted]

I hope that Katy realizes that her videos need do be amazing and have replay value, now that sales are dead and streaming is growing.

She needs to fire her team and get a new one. This current team ain't cutting it. They never planned to release DH ffs.
