Katy Perry‘s team are giving the masses extra incentive to snap up new album ‘Smile.’
See what we mean below…
A few hours ago, the set’s first week sales predictions were revealed and highlighted three realities:
1) Perry’s will likely premiere as the week’s top selling new debut
2) the numbers aren’t enough to net her the #1
3) the forecast sum means she’s on-course to open with one-third of what 2017’s ‘Witness’ delivered – which was considered an underperformance in 2017.
To give added push, Perry’s digital store has slashed the price of ‘Smile’ by 40%:

This should be against chart law. Making your music clearance bin prices does not mean people wanted to buy it.
At least go out with some dignity
It’s not like it’s her decision anyway, that’s her label. At this point, I don’t think she’s got the same power at the record company to prevent these things from happening.
Haterz are a trip and up and down in here screaming FLOP about Katy and talking about how Bey last three Records sold less than this and are flops.
Let’s state FACTS: 1. EVERY Beyoncé SOLO STUDIO album opened at no.1 ON BB. 2. No Beyoncé album was ever discounted in its opening weeks in the chart and were FULL PRICE 3. ALL Beyoncé SOLO STUDIO albums scanned PLATINUM+
Beyoncé is the anti thesis and one of the few artists who tore up the rule book and made more money the more she missed the HOT 100 with her single releases. None of the singles from her new forthcoming SOLO STUDIO album will likely hit number 1 on BB100 either but the album will STILL open at No.1 and STILL scan PLATINUM + and that ladies and gentlemen is longevity and the haterz WILL gag and WILL DEAL 💆🏾♂️🤳🏾
Keep trying to brainwash us, she’s still a flop.
Exactly. She couldn’t even sell half of what Katy is selling with all the millions of dollars in hype that Disney bought, so like the roach hive is famous for saying, stop living in the past, we’re talking about right now. And right now beyonce isn’t selling half of what Katy is predicted to sell.
Beyoncé also hasn’t released a solo album since 2016, also known as, she hasn’t released an album since tidal was investigated for inflating streaming numbers. Let’s see how Beyoncé’s next solo album sales before you get cocky. If the gift is anything to go by, it’s not looking great for old lady buzzkill
The Gift, released TWICE, each time promoted by a MOVIE, one that had HUGE Disney backing, and flopped TWICE 🤣🤣🤣 Flogging a dead horse 🐴
Lol at you trying to claim beyonce hasn’t released an album because of tidal. Stick to trolling under different guises only facts we’ve watched you descend into madness on this blog. Only facts, Susan now wap? Which is your next troll account? The gift was a afrobeats compilation album with majority unknown African artists in America. Since when has afro-beats been a huge genre? She had no problem scoring a number 1 hit on billboard though that is still in the top 20 as we speak. Stick to pressing over Nicki Minaj and Katy perry we all know that’s all you’re good at.
@tyty Afrobeats is a big genre, that’s why the UK has created a whole Afrobeats chart.
Lmaoooooo okkkk, blah blah, she wrote that whole essay and at the end of it all the roach FLOPPED with 6,000 PURE SALES lmfaoooooo, her last album FLOPPED with only 947 copies sold lmfaoooooo, and even homeFLOPPING didn’t clear 10k. katy NEVER flopped this hard and this often, and all the roach essays in the world wont change the fact the BEYONCE IS A BIGGER FLOP THAN KATY PERRY WILL EVER BE lmfaoooooooooooooooooooo.
Word 🤣🤣🤣
I can’t imagine how she feels seeing taylor almost sell 1mill with a surprise album and no singles and she can’t even hit 60k.
I would say this though, Katy has had an incredible career. She should be very proud of what she has accomplished. Like who gets 5 number 1 singles from 1 album. There comes a time when everything goes down. It happens to every artist. Janet, Whitney, Michael and Mariah all had their flops.
Taylor is an artist. Katy is a product of one producer. Katy did whatever dr Luke told her. The second his artistry disappeared from her credits, her relevancy disappeared. Katy ain’t 💩 without dr Luke. Karma for being a lifelong mean girl.
True tea @Wap
I’m surprised over a decade into her unprecedented chart run folks havent realized you cant compare ARTISTRY to pre fabricated pop acts.
Taylor is a talented SONGWRITER like Mariah before her. She can genre hop b/c her pen game keeps her fans coming back. Katy was a producers puppet.
She is also not as likeable compared to Taylor.
Katy had a good run though.
This is kind of misleading. Originally the 40% off sale was just for the fan edition then it sold out so they made her entire store 40% off which consists of merch not just her album.
It never sold out. That was a lie from her team to drum up excitement…and clearly it didn’t work.
But she said she didnt care about numbers.
Katy I’m so sorry.
Gaga is so lucky and smart. she reinvented herself with that a star is born movie, won an oscar etc then collaborated with ariana, a main pop girl right now, scoring a huge number 1 song. This sade her album and career.
Katy u should have collaborated with billie eilish or shawn mendez or drake or even post malone. They would have given u a hit and that would have saved your album.
Beyonce is smart also.
Instead of going for commercial success, she went for critical acclaim. Even tho her last 3 projects didnt hit number 1, they all received universal acclaim , winning Grammys
Beyonce also collaborates with hot artists at the moment.
J balvin mi gente remix
Ed Sheeran perfect remix (gave her a number 1)
Megan thee stallion savage remix (gave her another number one)
This is fraudulent, doing a remix of a song that is already hot but it is working for her.
Embarrassing. And her team lied and said target was sold out of the album. Smoke and mirrors to make it seem like people are checking for this fat washed up soccer mom. Clown 🤡 tingz. And out of pity, let’s stream move ya hips 🤣😂
This site is so biased its sickening. Beyonce flops with 27k and they call it a win. Katy is about to sell 40k and we get shady posts like this and write ups about her missteps. Hypocrites.
Yup.
