Despite a promising welcome on the global front, #KatyCats couldn’t help Katy Perry‘s latest tune claw its way onto the American Hot 100.
After the ill-received rollout that accompanied Katy’s comeback single, ‘Woman’s World,’ hopes were undoubtedly higher for its follow-up ‘Lifetimes.’
Produced by Dr. Luke like its predecessor, the up-tempo tune seemed to be greeted with warmer reception thanks to many deeming it a ‘return to form’ for the Pop diva.
Peruse of the updated Hot 100, however, shows that initial critical reaction wasn’t mirrored by a commercial response as the August 8-released song missed the all-genre tally entirely – opening at #15 on this week’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.
For context, “Bubbling Under Hot 100” is a listing designed to rank the top 25 songs that have accumulated noteworthy radio airplay, sales, and streaming stats but not enough to place within the top 100 most popular songs of the week.
While back-to-back Billboard bombs may cast worry about the expected commercial performance of the tunes’ parent album, ‘143‘ (due September 20), Perry mounting a massive tour and MTV Video Vanguard performance in the coming weeks could spell just the turnaround needed for the era.
Until we find out, look below to see who did make the top 10 on this week’s TGJ Chart Check: Hot 100 edition.

It’s such a good song though.
Damn she’s DONE. She can’t compete with the younger girls. This generation doesn’t care about her at all.
Such a great song hopefully it catches on radio to the gp.
I’m so over this new “woke” fake political generation so much! A bunch of followers that have no mindset of their own. You hate Katy because she worked with DR.Luke but so has Doja Cat, Charli XCX, Kim Petras….. can we please go back to 2010s I wasn’t old enough to club or drink(legally) but my gosh was it so much better!
Not a big Katy fan, but I agree 💯
Bye Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson! Remember when you called the Mariah Carey a “throwback” in 2014??? God don’t like ugly ma’am.
That’s why y’all speak bullsh*t when a new song is n°1 on apple. This era is going to flop harder than the previous one
Damn! That stupid Black country song is getting in the way! I hate that song so much!
1. Way to soon after American idol.
2. Songs sound dated (both)
3. She’s a mom
4. The lawsuit over the house made her look like a spoiled brat.
I told yall this h*** would FLOP
I told you that you’d give your mom A+IDS if you kept spitting your dad’s J+izz into her bt-hole…
But, I’m sure everyone tells you that.
FLOP ERA 3.0
Nuns cursed her lol! IDC, I dig the song. #onrepeat
Taylor Swift has the white pop tart music slot on lock. Katy Perry is a thing of the past.
Nursing homes are always looking for entertainment Katy.
