Katy Perry :: The "Teenage Dream" Era

[MusicRecords]

Well they've failed with "The One That Got Away" so it really doesn't mean anything.

Question is, if they fail, will they release a remix?

Omg I hope not! That would be too much!

I hate how both her albums will be like, "neither here or there" - the first one around 1.5M, the second one around 2.5M, it's like - way past the 1x/2x Platinum mark but way too far from 2x/3x

TD will surely be certified 3xPlatinum

I don't think so ...

Teenage Dream will eventually reach that goal. Every new Katy album will give a good boost on sales to TD, plus it will keep selling with time.

Didn't know she was a catalog seller... Good to know.

I doubt that either.

But I hope she will manage it.

Teenage Dream is Katy`s peak, her classic album. I don`t think she`ll ever make such a brilliant pop album again, so yes, I think it will be selling over the years.

So you assume, she won't top that?

Who knows though? Who thought Rihanna would have a big era as GGGB again? (LOUD).

And a brilliant pop album.. You're post is just based on your opinion.. Thats good, but we can't forecast these things..

It could go either way though.

[Gagich]

My post is not based on my opinion. Look at the success of the Teenage Dream singles and the digital power Katy has gained with this album. People love her pop songs and that`s why she tied MJ`s record and managed to extend an era throughout 3 years. That wouldn`t have happened if Teenage Dream was not a pop masterpiece.

lol.

If Teenage Dream was a pop masterpiece, it's sales would be higher... No shade. Just my OPINION.

It was a great thing for her, to tie MJ's record. But assuming just because of this thing and saying that TD is a masterpiece.. I simply disagree.

Your opinion, once again... .

Whatever...

Indeed, I want some more weeks in the top 20, as long as there aren't many big releases and Wide Awake is still successful, this is not hard to reach...

Perhaps it will be #1 on radio. We can't really know with the huge gap in audience impression between Mediabase and Billboard. That's gonna be hard though. But next week is not done! She's even gaining more than Ellie (0.009, not huge but... ) Anyway, both this week and next week are gonna be tough competition

Elsewhere in the Hot 100 top 10, Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" stumbles 2-4, though the track reaches a new peak on Hot 100 Airplay (3-2 with 116.6 million audience impressions).

Wow, I expected it to fall to #3 at worst

How is Lights #2?? I think this shows that streaming and AirPlay are weighed heavier than sales...

[Gagich]

Well, both streaming and airplay together are stronger than sales only, aren't they?

Yeah but the percentages are different for each, Billboard says its sales>AirPlay>streaming...but makes no sense
WHYB remained at the same position (#7) this week and it was around #30 all week on iTunes

[madboy]

thank u

Airplay seems to count the most. I take your example of WHYB: It was No. 2 on airplay (the one Billboard uses), No. 20 on digital and No. 21 on on demand last week.
It could reach No. 7 percentwise in the end if airplay would count for 75% or more...
My only solution would be that Where Have You Been could've profitted from the fact that it did overall well while other songs maybe were good on either airplay, on demand or digital but not the other 2...
