1st. Unconditionally doesn't have a HUGE radio deal. It was only one day and it had a 7M update.
2nd. 8 smashes are 70% of her album, so that could hurt her album sales.
3rd. One of The Boys sold less than 50k first week and ended up selling 1.5M+ with only two big hits and one moderate hit. So it's not impossible for PRISM to start selling 300k and end up selling 1.5-2M.

Since when was a +7M update not huge?
7 million people heard the song that day, yet not enough people bought it to get it into the top 15 on iTunes, was my my point...

And I din't say PRISM couldn't have longevity and end up selling 1.5-2M, I was just saying that people shouldn't ASSUME that it will and use it as an excuse for the lower-than-expected first week sales.

EDIT: and OOTB had 3 big hits, plus 1 moderate hit

So basically everyone gets tha seed paper?

Obviously yes playing everything other than Unconditionally is such a big radio deal! why can't these Katycats understand??

What was the 3rd big hit from OOTB? WUiV was no where near as massive as IKaG and HnC.

Us Katykats are used to 5M updates with no radio deal.

Actually it will...at the end of the day, she's still getting exposure. And i'm sure they probably mentioned multiple times throughout the day that Katy Perry had a new album (and single) out, hence why they were playing Katy Perry all day.

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO ME!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS JUST A DREAM!!!!!!!!!!

It was getting 3m+ everyday before. We constantly see deals with 20M+ in one day.

Yeah, but then the song is normally at least in the top 10 on iTunes...

[PartyAnimal]

Good for her considering she have longevity and she's singles artist. Hoping for 3xp in long run.

The OP deliberately put the lowest limit of the current prediction in the title. It used to be 275k+ after the thread was reported but that was erased by someone.

Girl stop, a 2xplatinum single that peaked at #9 is not an album seller, ask Britney, she sold 700k with 3 multi-platinum singles.

I never said it wasn't a hit, but you stated/implied that it was a big hit when you lumped it with her first two singles.

yes but by putting it in the same vein as IKAG and HnC (w/c are both over 4x platinum) is clearly illogical.. but what the hell.. it's all entirely subjective right?

Roar #2
Dark Horse #11

She's slaying with other songs right now.

And why are you so worried about PRISM sales when Ciara sold 100k in 3 months?

now wait a damn minute

[Mystic Boy]

Im sorry but those prédictions are so bad, considering the HUGE promotion, the HUGE radio support, the HUGE single sales of ROAR, and the HUGE previous era!!! And LMAO at the Katycats,they are such hypocrites cause i remember them predicting at least 400.000 copies for the first week!!! Even her own label predicted more so dont act as if it was not a disapointment
