Katy Perry’s ‘Witness’ Shoots To #1 On iTunes Less Than 10 Minutes After Release

Published: Thursday 8th Jun 2017 by Rashad

#Katycats wasted no time getting their claws on ‘Witness,’ the latest album from Katy Perry.

The album, which houses the hits ‘Chained to the Rhythm,’ ‘Bon Appetit’ (featuring Migos), and more, comes as her first full length release 2013’s chart-topping ‘Prism.’ And, despite what appeared to be an atmosphere of minimum buzz for the set, the singer/songwriter may be well on her way to witnessing her fifth LP follow ‘Prism’s suit.

Details below:

As we reported just moments ago, ‘Witness’ was available everywhere for streaming and digital download at 11:59 EST.  Less than 10 minutes later, real-time U.S. iTunes charts revealed the project had already bested the tally’s top-seller.

 

 

‘Witness’ also looks poised to repeat the feat in the U.K. [as of time reported].

While we await official first week predictions (usually rendered by mid-day on Saturday), we can say it does look like Perry’s off to a promising start…at least on the digital front.  Streaming victory, on the other hand, may be offset by an old rival of hers – Taylor Swift.  Click here to read more on that.

    Snake just discounted all her albums on iTunes. Oh God, please give me the power to be this petty in life. Pettiness goals.

    I feel like her team did this to save face from disappointing singles and in the wake of Taylor’s shade

    Katy could have better sales if she got better material. Why put out an album without a hit single?
