Firework sold 1.8 million since then, Cali Gurls 700k and Hot N Cold 500k. Can't wait for I Kissed A Girl and Teenage Dream to join
WOA could have really smashed very hard in Europe and kept the Dark Horse momentum going on. It would have helped her to recover from the Uncle fiasco in the UK too. I guess every savior is going to be crucified
Fun fact: the 5 #1s from Teenage Dream are all bridge-less:
- California Gurls & E.T. -> rap verse
- Teenage Dream & Firework -> the bridge is a sort of post-chorus that returns to close the song
- Last Friday Night -> instrumental break
She used to write brilliant bridges(see IKAG, HnC, E.T., LFN instrumental break also slays, WA, I also like POM's one). The decline since then see Roar, Uncle, Birthday(kinda good but still very weak), TIHWD

The first time I heard Birthday and WoA. I finally knew what it truly meant to bop. Like, Such perfectly crafted pop music. Poor others and their try hard "artsy" pop
okay I just watched her PoM performance at the GRAMMYs posted a few pages back again. I loved the concept and the momentum of it, with the fake out>>>
too bad her vocals were a mess, I think the bridge is the most out-of-tune I've ever heard her sing
Only a few months to go before we have a new era to talk about properly and don't have to keep discussing "what PRISM could have been" for the 38738610973917 time

After stanning for Kesha, Gaga, Bonnie and Madonna etc, it's so shocking to join the Katy base and to see her with her two #1 single album era be looked down upon. Like "Roar" and "Dark Horse" were MASSIVE - and that alone was really all she could have ever hoped for. She was damn lucky to have the hype to get "Roar" to #1, but "Dark Horse" was a guaranteed smash.
