Katy Perry fans, affectionately called #KatyCats, are still a-chatter after the unveiling of the music video for ‘Small Talk’ – the latest single from the singer’s yet-titled sixth studio album.

Unleashed Friday (August 30), the clip – directed by Tanu Muino – sees the 34-year-old and her beloved pooch, Nugget Perry, take to the dog show to compete for ‘best in show.’  And, while she was deemed a winner in the visual, real-time Spotify and iTunes charts reveal the tune is lagging behind the real-world competition as it is completely absent from both tallies despite the support of the critically acclaimed video (which has amassed 11 million views on Youtube to date).

Hoping to boost interest in the Charlie Puth-produced project, which has peaked at #81 on the Billboard Hot 100 as of the chart’s latest refresh, Katy’s inviting viewers into yet another behind the scenes look at the clip’s creation.

While the aforementioned are just three of many honors the J. White Did It-produced number collected during its prime, this week brought with it news it’s added one more.  Details inside:
