PRISM is flawless!
Do What U Want is flopping hard on iTunes. Lol
LOL TRY AGAIN BABE. DO WHAT U WANT IS TOP 10 ON ITUNES. GAGA IS HERE TO STAY BABE. DEAL LOL
Good for her and her fans.
Beyonce is hiding in hole somewhere in 3rd world. Lol while Gaga continues to cry… uwaaaaaaa
Shes probably laughing those sales cant even beat 4s babe
😀 The kiiiiiiii of it all ^
LOL, 300k???
That’s only 1/4 of SLAYdy GODga’s first week sales with Born This Slay!!!
That is the ultimate kiiiiiiiiiiiii and the trolls will deal with it
😀 😀 😀 😀
Teenage Dream opened with 192k and still outsold Plagiarize This Way. How soon we forget
It didn’t outsell BTW WW tho. And u seriously need to go check a review that was just posted about her new album on the povince. shadeeee. lol.
Like all of her other albums it will continue to grow though. I’m not worried, she has a lot of possible single choices that will push the album
It’s a good amount of records sold, and it matches the unbelievable push she got this time around. Ultimately Katy’s success isn’t as tied to record sales as some other artists, but a ‘good’ showing like this only bodes well for her career.
They did what they could to secure it, and it worked! Here’s hoping the album sells in the long run.
While everyone is making fun of Lady Gaga’s singles (they haven’t been very good), she’s probably still going to sell at least 500k in her first week.
Given the mammoth success of ‘Roar’, those first week sales predictions are underwhelming. It only persuades the fact that she is a ‘singles’ artist and nothing more. The entire album is what can only be defined as ‘basic’. Each song is simple, generic and tasteless – no substance what so ever. Don’t get me wrong, the tracks are okay…but very ‘kiddy pop’. GaGa should eat those figures up…but time will tell.
Have you heard the album??? I’m no Katy fan at all, but ‘ kiddy pop’…….I don’t care for the album but i find a vast majority of the songs to be very “inspirational” and mature…..not my style and i don’t see a lot of typical ” katy perry” type songs on it.

LOL!!!!!!!
Kiiiiiiii
Didn’t Beyoncé this and more without a hit single LOOL. She tried.
LOL sis, double this, without a hit single.
If you look up the word “flop” in the Oxford dictionary, you will see a picture of Katy
4 did 2x the amount of Teenage Dream yet Teenage Dream went on to sell more in the US than 4 did worldwide
With all those #1 POP singles thats still not much to brag about.
@SAM
What Happened ?! 😯
I know! He deleted a couple of posts. I got my life to the troll exposing post this morning lol!!! Serial trolls!! haha!!!!
Seems like the only wig she’s coming for in that list is her friend’s
This is terrible for the amount of exposure she gets. What happened to the old post?
Katy perry in her prime. It’s fail record sales. Britney I’m her prime. 1.3million
Basicty Perry for real.
what happened to the older posts ????
Hiding somewhere, next to Riherpes talent
omg you’re so funny, but i’ll laugh tomorrow ok?
Tori Kelly – Foreword in stores now! 😀
#REALTALENT #WRITTENANDPRODUCEDBYHER
LOL BASIC SALES FOR THE MOST BASIC ARTIST EVER.
LEMME FIND OUT ‘ARTPOP’ IS GONNA SLAY KATY PAYOLA AND FLOPLEY CYRUS SALES! LMAO!
YASSSSSSSSSSSS
I LIVE FOR THIS READ ^
LOL I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE MELTDOWN THAT WILL OCCUR IN HERE WHEN ARTPOP OUTSELLS FLOPSM & FLOPPERZ LMAO
Why are you worried about Prism? It will outsell Artflop just like Teenage Dream outsold Plagiarize This Way. Worry about Do What You Want flopping down iTunes and being outsold by Roar, a 2 month old song.
I believe the album will grow on the charts with more singles, her success is linked to longetivity
Those are good sales.. Cant believe her most successful album only sold 192k first week.
Mariah Carey Best selling album debuted at #2 on BB 200 with 175 000 sold , it sold 8 000 000 copies in the US alone and more than 33 millions world wide.
Having said that with the gem that is Prism i expect it to have great longevity however as for gag her first weeks sales will be somewhat good but it will go all downhill right after . just remember that.
Just like Plagiarize This Way. How do you sell almost 1 million the first week and then only another million in the next 2 years with a tour? Mess
exactly ! i see no lies, a total hot flopping mess .
Smash, off to a great start. PRISM is absolutely amazing, it will sell more than Teenage Dream.
The album is flawless and is a solid, well put together pop album. Katy Perry will dominate this era.
Lies everywhere.
Sam I hope you now roar is outselling do what u want on iTunes.
What about Britney?
Oops 1.3 mill
Britney 700k
In the zone 600k
Circus 500k
C’mon
Congratulations Katy you one course to outsell Miley bangerz and you didn’t have to act like a total s*** to do so.
When will Ciara though??
Dead @ Ciara being a competitor to Katy!!! Thanks for the laugh Sam. We all know Katy will be selling in the long run. Her music has longevity. She’ll never have massive 1st week sales but she’ll scalp your fav in the long run. Teenage Dream did 192k but outsold all of those albums listed minus Alicia Keys. I’m not bothered tbh.
Lol what Dustin do?
He’s a troll posting under various accounts being an idiot. Sam exposed about 5-6 other trolls this morning on another post but was taken down..lol!!
God this is painfully basic
lol Good numbers… especially if she weren´t like one of the 5 biggest releases (when it comes to promo and label support) of the year.
She had like one of the biggest digital singles of the year (don´t ask me why) and all this good press, and still less than 300,000 is all she can achieve at her peak.
I mean, no Beyonce fan as everyone knows, but didn´t she sell over 300,000 first week with no hit singles and mostly R&B album?
Seriously, if Gaga sells more than these two basic girls Katy Perry and Milye Cyrus in the first week, after all the hate she has endured these last months and all the media attention on Milye Cyrus… I mean, if that happens, it will be the biggest laugh music industry has ever given to us lol Hilarious and pathetic that would be. I have no idea what will happen, but damn it, with all the media attention these girls have Gaga already proved she can sell 700,000 or so full price. These girls can´t do 300,000.
B**** please we all know you’re a Beyonce fan! Don’t lie!
And if Beyonce is an RnB Artist then y did 4 Flop? Since it’s an RnB album….
Her album was the bestselling r&b album of the year tho.
You clearly don´t know me. Everybody who has been visiting TGJ for long knows I don´t like Beyonce.
Pls bish Ciara Could sell she didn’t need to sing Ke$ha b-sides (California gurls) and Sara bareilles rip offs to become famous or Have Bonnie mckee give her Sound to her to get hits! You know damn well Bonnie basically sold her sound to katy __/ katy is so basic she the mos basic pop artist out there Prism is sooooooo weak surprise its doing that numbers but the public seems to like basic One trick pony
Lmaoo why is Roar still snatching flopause and Flop what you want on itunes though??? Read my words Artpoop wont do t***** gay gay any good.People are sick of gay gay.
Those numbers are lackluster seeing as she had big golden semi trucks promoting her album in the states also performing at the vmas snl iheart radio etc and then having a number 1 and 3 promo singles that’s all she could do?
Lmao. Theres no need to read her, the numbers are the read.
If someone can tell me what R & B artist or POP artist sold more than 400,000 in the past 4 years, than you have a debate. Katy did real good for this time. How can you put albums from the past when we all know that people brought albums back in the day. In digital age now, can someone name an artist other than Justin Timberlake comeback album and Lady Gaga who sold more than 400,000 in a week.Out of 100ths of artist if you name only two or three, that means that her album sales is what Pop stars and top R & B stars sell in firts week in this digital age.
Y’all Katy fans are so quick to ridicule lady gaga and artpop, when the only person she’s snatching in that list is rihanna. Can you say pathetic. Sure,applause underperformed. Won’t change the fact that gaga is the better album seller,and artpop will outsell prism in its sleep.
This is not good. Those big pop tunes and you’re barely scraping 300k. Didn’t Beyoncé do more with an r&b album that LEAKED before with no #1 hits?
@SAM Why did you delete the troll exposing post??!!! Hilarious!!
Katy is a singles artist. This album will sell around the same amount as TD. People don’t take her seriously…
because TD did bad? it sold nearly 6 mill. worldwide…
Quite dissapointed in Prism but good for Katy.
Hi guys, I’m back 🙂
Congratulation to Katy Perry!!!! She deserves the success. 🙂
@sam: that lady gaga shade…
I come back from class to see that Sam deleted my comment from about 7 hours ago. A mess.
Girl well stop trolling!
Should’nt you have been studying or something anyway.
Sam is exposing all the trolls hunn, Which obviously includes you.
The TRUE SHADE is that Lana Del Taco is’nt even listed as one of Katy’s competitors, Even though her entire being is a carbon copy of Ms.Perry’s……..
SEEETH You flaming t***** cuunt!
I’m not comparing Prism’s projected sales to any album that was released more than four years ago. The market has changed.
I think KP is projected to do really well. Her main fan base is mostly young, and unless you’re selling to the 30+ and/or country demographics, you’re not going to sell large numbers of CDs.
All I know is that those numbers are not as exciting as we were all expecting. Mariah is coming to snatch pops first week wigs DAHLING!!
didn’t diss Miley for 275,000 copies. but this is cool for katy. prism is perfect it will sales cause every single is commercial and radio hits so as she get more hits it will grow
