Thanks to her new single ‘Lifetimes,’ Pop diva Katy Perry‘s on top of the world after watching her comeback ‘Woman’s World‘ seemingly flop off the face of the Earth.
More inside.
‘World’ – due to seismic backlash for including production from Dr. Luke as well as its slapstick music video – spun off the Hot 100 in less than two weeks after its arrival.
Pivoting quickly, Katy and team lifted ‘Lifetimes‘ (also produced by Luke) from the star-studded tracklist of her forthcoming album ‘143‘ to serve as the project’s second single.
Less than 24 hours after its delivery to digital shelves, her beloved fans (affectionately called #KatyCats) pounced to purchase and stream the House-inspired jam – pushing it to the top of the real-time Worldwide iTunes sales chart.
The #1 global placement comes as a result of topping the sales tallies of 13 countries and counting including Bolivia, Brazil, Greece, Mexico, Portugal, Poland, and more (as of time reported) as well as storming the top 10 of over 20 major international markets like the United Kingdom, Spain, France, United States, Canada, India, and Australia.
Once combined with radio airplay as well as streaming figures and sales data from all the major digital platforms, the iTunes stats above will certainly help hoist ‘Lifetimes’ to a handsome first-week commercial performance in Perry’s native country (USA).
