Despite watching her latest album, ‘143,’ clock into the top digital music sales positions in countries around the world, Katy Perry seems poised to see the LP land a lukewarm welcome in her native USA.
Details inside.
Katy Perry’s ‘143’
Predicted First-Week Sales (SPS): 37,000 – 42,000 units
Predicted Billboard 200 Debut: #10-#15
According to industry analysts at HDD, Perry’s seventh studio album will open to first-week total sales of up to 42,000 units by the end of its inaugural sales tracking period.
If the prediction above rings true it will mark the lowest opening of any of the Pop diva’s major-label offerings – snatching the personal record from 2020’s ‘Smile‘ (which premiered and peaked at #5 with sales of 50,000).
What’s more, the projected modest commercial performance of ‘143’ could see it become her first major-label effort to miss the Billboard 200’s top 10 upon arrival as each of its predecessors – ‘One of the Boys’ (#9), ‘Teenage Dream‘ (#1), ‘Prism‘ (#1), ‘Witness‘ (#1), and ‘Smile’ (#5) – all perched in the chart region.
Said to be mounting a killer promotional week in the days ahead, however, here’s hoping her endeavors across TV, print, radio, and Web help move the needle to ensure a top 10 placement.
Keep it locked to That Grape Juice when Perry’s final first-week figure is revealed on Sunday (September 29).

But y’all were just boasting about how she topped iTunes Charts in dozens of countries lmaoooo we all knew this was gonna bomb be fr who checking for Katy Perry corny old ass in 2024???
Because iTunes charts mean nothing. Music isn’t consumed on just iTunes and the charts TGJ loves to quite are just a snapshot in time… “one moment”, the chart can literally change every 5-10 minutes.
Clearly is 2024 and she still very relevant even for Someone like you who had time from their sad life to write, spend time and energy. Funny how someone you dislike you have time to read about her.
We been knew
My Thang with katy, she had a good run and hits just do something eles instead of music. Because in all honestly, music is not where it at right now money wise.
the album aint that bad… it is the stupid media and press did her dirty like how they did Xtina’s bionic….
And JlO
JLO ain’t got a shred of talent tho so that was JUSTIFIED lol
JLO deserves it. lol She’s never been talented at music and should have stuck to acting. While she’s never been the greatest actress, her movies were enjoyable for the most part. She’s a better actress than a singer, which isn’t saying much, but her music was always lame. She’s kind of admitted it herself that she’s not a talented singer. When she was still with A-Rod and celebrating her 50th birthday, she told ET that her daughter got “her daddy’s voice,” basically admitting that Marc Anthony is the vocal talent in that family.
@marilyn
LOL Bionic was actually good, though. This isn’t. That’s the major difference. Also, Christina didn’t work with an alleged r*****. 143 should have at least been worth the backlash and it’s just not.
