If Katy is not reaching the success TD had then why her fans are saying shes getting bigger each era? Why were there dragging Gaga for not selling 1M first week with ARTPOP?

The closest was P!nk, but Try was more a moderate hit than anything on the level of Blow Me and JGMAR, much less on the level of Roar and DH.

blow me was a moderate hit too... 2x plat in the US, Silver in the UK etc
The Truth About Love had just one smash hit
JGMAR
a WW smash hit is supposed to sell at least 7-8M

Ok...Beyonce supposedly has a lot of star power. How come she isn't selling her songs? I don't understand your comment. Of course Katy's songs sell because people like the songs. If they don't like the song they won't buy it. Her single releases this era have been messy and stupid to be simply put. This is How We Do was a stupid single choice, but the MV made me like it more.

You need to call her two Top 20 hits flops to make her seem like a flop, when she sold more than 22m records and has a succesful tour, media, succesful videos, awards, money, etc.

She doesn't need 5 #1 hits to be getting bigger.
She has a bigger tour, half of TD album sales with only two smash hits, she is the #1 global female right now, the top digital artist, making more money than her previous era. etc.
Get it?

Capitol didn't expect Birthday/TIHWD to smash, that's why they and Katy don't really promote the song and the release dates (including m. videos and radio adds) look like a mess to us.
She will release the obvious smash Legendary Lovers and the song will be promoted properly, I'm sure.

Nobody bought the singles because people bought the album, everyone bought the album, also this era that beyonce had is not an actual era she just released the album without telling anyone, without promoting it what so ever, I find it stupid that they actually released singles from the album.
not to KatyCats, they think Katy has the power of selling singles because of her name lol,

This drop is like Beyonce coming from I am... Sasha Fierce with like 6 grammy awards and 8 million coppies WW to 4 with no grammy nominations and a mere 3 million copies with no hits. It happens in an artists' career sometimes.

And the little monsters are so sad and ridiculous. They acting like people shade ARTPOP for not selling 1M first week, people shade the ARTPOP era for selling 1.7m total and not charting anymore, all the singles underperformed, etc.

With how much PRISM is selling right now I dont think it will pass TDs sales, so shes only getting bigger with tour? OK then, please when you say Katy is getting bigger each era please say "only in tours" because shes not getting bigger with singles and albums.

Exactly. She's losing her consistency and people are starting to move onto a new sound and a new it girl.
Like Gaga, like Beyoncé, etc etc, she's had her peak and now it's time to settle into place.

No, you were dragged because you made fun of Prism's first week sales and then Gaga sold even less than Katy.
and stop bringing Gaga, nobody cares.

But they actually did! Not my problem that you decided not to admit that or you're just wasn't there to see it

Yes, she is. She is the biggest popstar atm, Selling more records than Beyonce, Gaga, Miley, Britney, Shakira and all the other girls who released lately. That's enough.

Roar > DH> WOA> LL> BDay > Uncle
this should have been the list of the follow up single...
They also failed to give the follow up song a momentum unlike in TD..
She got Darked Horse..
but at the end of the day, TIHWD is just starting up..
so chill up everyone

Initially she is. The only reason most people check out her songs is because she has a history of releasing great pop songs. Same goes to radio, they quickly pick up anything she releases because of her track history with releases great smash hits.
Her name is what carries the songs at first and gives them a head start, but then the song has to carry itself.

Getting bigger each era = beating her old records, selling more than her previous albums\singles 
Gaga sold more than Ke$ha, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Shakira, she's getting bigger each era

The Katy stans are still in denial I see. This is only the beginning tbh. I mean, it's ok that she has peaked.  No ones saying she's never going to have a hit again.
