Fact not fiction, Katy Perry will sit atop of the Billboard 200 next week with her third studio album ‘Prism’.
Indeed, with initial sales projections of 275,000, the ‘Roar’ led set is on-course to not only deliver the singer’s best opening numbers yet, but also become the strongest female first week numbers of the year.
And, as if that wasn’t good enough news for the star (who is celebrating her 29th birthday today), it is now being reported that the LP is poised to exceed expected sales estimates.
Find out by how much after the jump…
According to Billboard, latest purchase patterns suggest ‘Prism’ is slated end up with first week sales in the region of 290,000 – a near 20k increase on the original figure touted.
There is even potential for the project to cross the 300,000 mark, although insiders acknowledge the slim chance of such an occurrence.
In any case, it’s clear the songbird has hatched a winner with this one.

get it girl!!
This just proves that people will buy a steaming pile of s*** if it’s packaged correctly and promoted. The music industry today is pathetic.
WE ALL KNOW
LORD OF POP
GODGA IS GOING TO SLAY KATY FIRST WEEK NUMBERS
HAHAHAHA LIKE REAL T HUNS!
LIKE OK?
SIPS HENNESSY!
I just dont get this womans succes….shes just mediocre to me.
Yaaas Katy the album is great im actually gonna buy another copy and give it to my cousin or something you deserve to hit the 300k Mark.
Those numbers are pretty good. Congrats to Katy.
go katyy! u deserve it, the beyhive loves u 🙂
Lies….where was this love years ago??
Katy Perry and Keshia Chante should collab.
http://youtu.be/j2FZ3JIVQxk
not to be a hater but wasnt the prediction 275-300k?
I’m surprised, I thought the public was losing interest in her.
that would be gaga booo lol
MAD
LORD OF POP GODGA ON YOUR MIND?
Ugh your annoying.
Their annoying what?
Let’s be mature please. Gaga and Katy are both great. Let’s not forget that Do What U Want was the fastest selling song this year. Stop the Dram, Start the Music. Appreciate ALL music and let people listen to what they please. I’m so excited for Katy’s new material along with Gaga’s, so keep the negativity outside.
You’re confusing her with Gaga.
The public was losing interest with her til she got a number 1. Then they became bandwagoners…
Props to her, she really and truly is slaying in spite of all the ‘competition’.
She’s shaping her career to be like Justin Timberlake where she’s got a strong loyal buying fanbase and doesn’t have to release a new album every single year.
I actually like/can tolerate most of the songs on this album, which alone makes it a huge improvement over Teenage Dream, although I still think her image is way too childish. But congrats to her.
The album is her best so far imo she deserves decent sales.
Average sales… but congratulations.
Good for her i never really got into her music but….
Yes Katy i love love love love your album! Slay b**** let those b****** know no games will be played!!!!
* Plays International Smile*
When gagflop album drops though, she better be lucky if the little monsters going diving in a water fountain to purchase that trash…# make a wish b****
GODGA ON YOUR MIND HUNS
YASSSSSS
STAN FOR THE LORD OF POP!
PAWS UP!
Watch when ARTPOP does 500,000, y’all will do nothing but shade. Kid you not. This site has too many stupid people on it
I’m sure a $0.99 deal will pop up in no time for Gaga.
lol
Lol at u when she sold 600k with BTW full priced.
we will WAIT LATER TO SEE FINAL NUMBERS
BUT WE ALL KNOW GODGA WILL SLAY THESE NUMBERS LMAO
KATY MAYBE NEXT TIME.
SIPS HENNESSY
SHADE BUT NO SHADE.
Weren’t you and the rest of the Little Cutters bragging about 99¢ This Way last time but Katy ended up outselling that in the long run?
Where? Last I checked BTW sold 6 million WW. TD only did 5.5 WW
Because it’s a competition and all. Incidentally you’re not doing much justice to the diva you worship by smearing another artist’s article with barely coherent mindless drivel.
Honestly gaga music sucks..LOL ” Do what you want with my Flop” is not even in top ten no more, and Applause is letting up. I mean come on now…
her music is total s*** and it all sounds dated
I concur! It’s really nothing special i fail to see what’s so good about this b****!
It does! And it’s funny how SSSOO many people jumped on the Gaga ship when they heard it went #1 on iTunes. Then the next day when it dropped several spots, not a word from any Gaga “stans.” Funny how that always happens..
I’m pretty sure u were the same person bandwagoning when Tamar did number 1 on iTunes and disowned her when she falled down the charts.
Prism was horrible . Boring as f***
You know what’s a mess? Do What U Want (With My Penis) is already #17 on iTunes. Even Summertime Sadness (the original version, not the remix) had better longevity.
Her label really thought it be a hit after it being number 1 for 2 hours lol
That’s what happens when the label checks stop coming through. Herbert couldn’t keep spending them coins..# Make better music
Rosie when will you come to terms that the original version of SS was still a flop sis…… Even Body Party slayed thee F**** out of it. Then Lana went and jumped on the EDM bandwagon and gave it a watered down remix for it to shift anything
But f** why were you up at 2 in the morning just to reply to me? The obsession.
Just deal with the fact that the original wasn’t even officially released in the US and STILL outsold and charted in more countries than Local Party (which only charted in 2 1/2 countries) even before the remix was even being considered for release.
WE ALL KNOW
KATY HAIRY CANT SING TO SAVE HER LIFE!
LMAO LIKE THE EPIC FAIL OF HER TRYING TO SING HER SONGS LIVE
THESE NUMBERS STILL ARENT IMPRESSIVE HIT ME WHEN SHE DOES
1.1MILLION FIRST WEEK HUNS
YOU LESSOR GURLS WILL REMAIN MAD LIKE I WIN
SIPS HENNESSY
SHADE BUT NO SHADE YASSSSSS.
I think yall forget that album born this gay sold off hype alot of people that bought the album were disappointed
Don’t get it. This album is selling off hype too. Her album has been heavily promoted on radio and TV this week. Not to mention her chart run with roar….
Stephani can’t sing either. All of it is over-synthesized shovel-pop. Madonna did it better, honey, and 30 years ago.
While I find most of her music basic, I do commend her for not resorting to pathetic stunts like Gaga and Miley.
If GaGa sales less than katy the f****** meltdowns will be epic.
GODGA
IS GOING TO SLAY THIS BASIC B**** WITH HER FIRST WEEK
NUMBERS LIKE I DIDNT EVEN KNOW KATY HAIRY ALBUM DROPPED
LMAO FLOP!!!!!
SIPS HENNESSY!

PRESSES PLAY ON “APPLAUSE” YASSSSS SANG GODGA!
Yeah i figured you had to be sipping something stanning for such a wack ass b****! Probably have to load that glass just to get passed that garbage ass music..
The mere persona of Lady Gaga is hype. That is why she exists. I suggest leaving the house once in a while.
TO BE HONEST THIS ALBUM WAS HORRIBLE LOL.

SIPS HENNESSY! WHO WANTS WAR?
no hate from me, good for katy..roar has grown on me alot..I hated the song the first several time hearing it..
the video had a huge part in me liking the song…
I liked the second single unconditionally the second I heard it…
so katy is moving from singer seller to album seller..good for the chick
i mean to say single seller..lol…
I swear some people are so f****** negative and damn near bitter as f***, for no f****** reason….
if you don’t like gaga and think she’s a flop why the f*** are you on all her post, and bringing her name up on post that aint got s*** to do with her….
who gives a f*** if katy sells more albums than gaga this time around..but at the end of the day, katy cannot touch gaga’s album sales, hell even talent wise..
i f*** with katy because she doesnt take her self seriously, she makes some music i like and some music I dont like..I respect katy’s hustle….
but we all know she cannot touch gaga talent wise, and album sales and tour sales..lets keep it real
This isn’t even a Gaga post. Your point is irrelevant.
But somehow that didn’t stop ppl from making it about her. Or maybe u can’t read….
Or maybe it’s ironic because just below this b**** brings up Beyoncé and Jay-Z in a post that has absolutely nothing not do with them, and they weren’t even mentioned on this post before it showed up.
you F*** with Everybody because you are a ho.
Yas
s*** i cannot stand beyonce’s, jay z, fake asses..do you see me on every freaking post that has to do with them..hell no
once in a while ill make a comment..other than that i keep it moving when i see their post..
but with gaga, yall bitter h*** stays hard on her d***..every single post…praying for her failure and s***..stalking the b****..
AMENNNNN!
YASSSS YOU BETTER STAN FOR THE LORD OF POP!
GODGA!
No but you’re always throwing some type of wack shade towards Beyonce is all your comments. S*** you even have to talk about her now.
You still mad cuhz ROAR had bigger sales than Fappluase? went platnum in 2 weeks when fapplause took 2 months hahah this is too much u “monsters” are still so blind but I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions but yet again why are u at a Katy perry post ? Why gaga isn’t entertaining enough? Stay pressed shade but no shade lol
must suck be tragic to be a monster right now
1.1 MILLION FIRST WEEK B****!

WHO WANTS WAR B****
GODGA LORD OF POP!
Because we knew Gaga’s name would be mentioned here dumb b****….y r Katy fans pressed on Gaga’s post??? Lol. Simple ass b****.
Nice album.. Way overrated
And she doesn’t even have to use gimmicks, weird imagery and nonsensical costumes to sell.
Katy crafted a solid Pop album, it is amazing, I love it.
Hey Sam, “Roar, Unconditionally and Dark Horse” are all outselling “Do what you want” on iTunes.
b**** Yas prism out now you better promote your other favs upcoming album i truly grown to like you… btw your welcome back into the c squad if you want
LMAOOOOOOO
SINGLES HUNS !!!
GODGA WILL SLAY FIRST WEEK NUMBERS
KATY WISH SHE COULD PULL GODGA NUMBERS!
MAKE SURE S****** ALBUM DONT FLOP OK?
AND TELL HER TO SING LIVE BVTCH!
So great to see real hard work and making music for the love of it prosper. No over the top antics and twitter meltdowns, just letting the music speak for itself.
Congratulations Katy, the album is fire and is certain of longevity.
Dude i love double rainbow and unconditionally so much. this is a personal album for Katy i give her the most respect right now this album is inspiring some might call it boring but its amazing to me.
*Cause i understand you we see eye to eye like a double rainbow*
Just gonna ignore GaGa fans there pathetic like there fading fav.
Anyways my fav PRISM tracks are Double rainbow, Unconditionally,Walking on air, Dark horse, and international smile 🙂
Lol b**** u haven’t been ignoring us all this time…what makes u think u will ignore us in the future? Have a seat.
LOL at the wishful thinking. Billboard is reaching for the dear Gods…
Prism is an over-produced, forced and failed MESS!! No one will buy that s***, MARK MY WORDS!!!!!!
Whats overproduced is that trash Venus I heard the 2nd snippet that song is horrible. Thank God for the little monsters that interscope change it as being the second 2nd single it would flop so hard.
But NOT at GaGa staying on the trolls minds.. Nowhere did sam mention GaGa on this post, but she is more talked about than basic perry..
YASSSSSSSSSSSSS, I LIVE FOR THAT GAGA IMPACT
I live for gagas flop
LOL at you remaining pressed over my comments!
The impact I have on you TGJ f*** doe >>>>>>>>
Lol yea rejoice over making impact on a blog instead of them charts. meanwhile roar dark horse and unconditionally are slaying tf outta applause and do what you want . Hahahahaha
*starts a search party to find Kim on the charts*
^ LOL!!!!!!!
The impact I have on TGJ, I need a name for my stans doe!
LOL hell when I read the title of this post I thought they were increasing the predictions big way or something. Like she was going to sell what she should after all the promo and good press she´s been getting for months, like 400,000-500,000 copies or something. So basic.
Somebody tell the media the sales hype (used in Justin Timberlake´s case months ago) won´t work with basic artists like Katy ::
GODGA WILL DO BIGGER NUMBERS
BASIC ASS 200K LMAOOOO
GURL GO SIT!
1.1 MILLION LAST ALBUM SO EFFORT-LESS.!
@gagathetruth should get banned from commenting on this just for the constant spam omgg
LOL UM, THE PREDICTION WAS ALREADY 275-300K.
IN OTHER WORDS, STILL BASIC SALES FOR THE MOST BASIC ARTIST OF ALL TIME LOL.
ARTPOP IS GONNA SNATCH FOR THE GODS, WATCH LMAO…
Those are decent numbers,out of all her contemporaries Katy makes the most solidly crafted Pop albums.She hasn’t had one bad album yet(If you’re in to pop).
I still like “one of the boys&”Teenage Dreams” better than Prism though.Prism is decent though
Lol effortlessly? Yeah that y 40 percent of those album sells went
For .99 cents lol . U “monsters” really have me laughing only gaga
Has to do antics to gain album sales .99?? But yet again her album
Was worth about that much. Poor gaga 5 yrs into her career n so far her
Biggest impact has been her “creative” costumes . Lol not her music .
I’m a huuuuge Katy fan and I thought this album was boring. think all the promos and hype kind of made people want to buy it and i think sales will go down after people get the word out that the music is pretty bland… a step down from one of the boys/teenage dream for me 🙁
