You people are stupid. It debuted at #15 and then sank. It was supposed to be her big comeback and it had massive promotion. It's 2019. Promotion does NOT mean going on television and performing, because that doesn't work anymore. Promotion in 2019 is about Spotify and Apple Music playlisting, which Katy paid big bucks for.
@Tommy Flanagan I agree, She could have had a #1 hit this summer 😫 I mean this is kinda good with a little promotion and it debuted at #15 this means that people still like her music, Lets hope she will make a huge comeback soon!
I love how people are saying that witness "flopped"- I don't think it tanked- it just wasn't what the people wanted From her . She is still cool I think
So....this video aged well, huh? Maybe she didn't have hit singles or a huge record, but hey, she's happily engaged and welcomed her first child into the world 🤷♀️ So I think that's a personal win for sure ❤️
@@Lalapopsy bruh sixnine’s album debuted higher than hers I’m sorry but that album tanked. I’m still happy for Katy bc she seems to be in a lot better of a place now and she did have her little girl
@@Lalapopsy Um yeah the only metric of success some people have is being the best, but the fatal flaw in this is that you get sucked into it all and chase the factors that dont matter. I am so incredibly happy for Katy and believe that her smile albume for having been released simultaneously WITH HER BABY, lol, is a major success. I just hope she now is having long back hair because she wants to. Giving people everything they want only because she wants to. I know her daughter is going to be a force to wrecken with in the world because Daisy WILL be amazing and will be raised in the ways katy never was. Given the fact that Katy turned out so amazing, Daisy will too whether that’s in terms of being a popstar, engineer, teacher, astronaut, or librarian, It will and already is a win for KATY FOR SURE!
Never Really Over is the best song she's released since the Teenage Dream era. It might even be better than all of those songs too. That song absolutely should've been a number 1.
I'm right there with you. While Witness isn't my favorite record by her, the hatred she personally got was disgusting and unwarranted. NO one deserves to be treated how she was, regardless if you like the music or not. After all of that, it would serve all those haters right if Katy came back into the industry bigger and better than ever!
@Guile Solomon Many mainstream extremely popular artists dont have great lyrics either, both singles and albums. Most people just saw bon appetit and was like OKAY Katie is shit, trash album bye.
People hated on that album because it was “woke and political” but was it really? I never understood it cuz I didn’t really hear anything political about it, just her singing about seeing different perspectives
@@ozyvillanueva9277 People hated it because she marketed it as "purposeful and political pop", when really it was just another pop album about love, breakup, a hint of feminism and being a bad bish
Witness had great storytelling and messages. “Power” and “Hey Hey Hey” are women empowerment songs. “Witness” is about loneliness and looking for someone who understands you. “Into Me You See” is about finding that person. “Deja Vu”, “Dance With the Devil”, and “Mind Maze” are about depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. “Chained to the Rhythm” is about how we don’t see the problems in society. “Swish Swish” is about standing up against bullies. I can go on longer, but you get my point.
I wanna cry because i know katy is powerful singer and always at the top, but since witness she's always underupreciate and so underrated 365 and never really over deserve better!! I hope 2020 is gonna be her comeback and people will see that she's not over!!!
Absolutely not. Small Talk is horrendous. Never Really Over is annoying. Harley’s In Hawaii is mediocre. Katy has released some TOP TIER pop songs and none of these compare to that. When Katy drops another Part Of Me maybe she’ll achieve huge success again
I want Katy, Gaga and Rihanna on the top again. I want to listen to them EVERYWHERE i go. And I want them to be happy ❤️ LET'S GET IT QUEENS WERE WAITING
Trust me they are happy and pleased with what they achieved regarding their careers. I would love to see them parenting and getting married and stuff I know Rihanna always wanted a baby of her own.
You literally made a video about what I was thinking about Katy Perry’s career. She just needs good promotion and a little bit of hype behind her. Katy Perry has always been someone whose music people have generally liked, hence why almost all of her songs are climbers on the Hot 100. Her influence has never been what ignited her chart success, like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande who each have a bunch of top 10 debuts. She just needs to get the word out and the quality of the music will take it from there. If she had performed NRO a few times on TV the week after she released, I could’ve easily seen it climb into the top 10, because people actually like it. It’s actually astounding that it was able to stay in the top 40 for so long with no promo, especially considering songs like “Lights Up” which debuted on the Hot 100 at roughly the same position but left after just two weeks because there was no promo. This only confirms the fact that people like her and are willing to get into her music again, she just needs to be a little more adamant, and hopefully, that’s what we see in the future.
Wrong. Television promotion doesn't do anything for songs anymore. It's 2019 and people don't watch TV as much as they used to. The promotion that works is Spotify, Apple Music, and CZcams promotion. Katy has done ALL of these with every song she's released this year. She's been playlisted by all of the major streaming services and CZcams ads have ran for all of her songs. None of that worked because people don't care anymore. "This only confirms the fact that people like her and are willing to get into her music again, she just needs to be a little more adamant, and hopefully, that’s what we see in the future. " Lol no. If this were the case, the song wouldn't need heavy promo. Songs that need heavy promo to perform well are songs that people are being forced to like. Nowadays, a song's success has to be organic. A song going viral on TikTok turns into a #1 single. You can't force that. NRO only stayed in the top for as long as it did because they were paying tons of money to keep it on the radio. No one was streaming it or buying it. It was literally only being pushed on radio.
Anthony Ashcraft If people didn’t care anymore, NRO over wouldn’t have debuted at #15 in the first place. It was either her highest or second highest debut on Spotify (can’t remember). You can’t pay millions of people to stream her song. Also, there was of course SOME promo, but none of it was sufficient. As a big Katy fan, I’m always looking at all things related to her, so if I barely saw any promo, I know no one else did. Having these little Amazon Music billboards and what not that appear 3 times a day in a specific location is not effective and only like two of her songs had even that this year. TV performances turn into CZcams videos where people can actually hear the song, it’s up forever, and it can be recommended. I don’t watch any talk shows regularly, yet have seen so many performances from people who I wasn’t looking for, like Kesha, Halsey, Camila Cabello, and this has impacted their songs. Kesha’s song rose on iTunes after the AMAs and Halsey’s song has moved up like ten spots on Billboard after multiple TV performances, so yes, TV does work. And being on a playlist for a few days on Spotify doesn’t provide any renewed or new interest for listeners. Even if people like the song, which PLENTY of fans, critics, and the general public did based on what I’ve seen, if you’re not being consistently directed toward it, you’ll forget about it. Tik Tok is indeed a place where songs go to become hits, but it will never be the place for Katy Perry no matter how much people like her songs, because Tik Tok is all about music with heavy beats and 808s, so she automatically can’t join in that market, so there was virtually no way for any attention to stay on her music. You need attention no matter where it comes from to have a successful song. And no matter how much promo, if people don’t like the song all that much, no one is forced to stream it or buy it. I almost never heard NRO on the radio, and I live in Chicago, which is where it got most of its popularity. That should tell you something. For about a month or so, NRO stayed toward the top on Spotify, but once there was no consistent promotion, people just forgot about it because it wasn’t being fed to them in any facet like a new song needs to be to attain popularity.
I have no idea, I'll be honest. I mean, I'd assume at the end of the day, it's competition from other artists. Cardi B released a song the same day as "Never Really Over", and while it peaked 1 spot below "NRO", I think it got more traction because Cardi has had so much hype recently, and Katy was struggling to get back in the spotlight. "NRO" really could have been THE song to catapult her to #1 on the charts and in the mainstream, but I think there was a lot of unintended competition (in terms of radio and sales).
it was on the radio a lot in my country, but still only peaked at #47. the video trended high and she was #1 on iTunes for a couple of days. people just don’t care for her, she needs to do something BIG before it’s too late and seems - for the lack of better words - desperate/pathetic. I liked NRO and HiH a lot, but they weren’t “Teenage Dream”/“Prism” or the opposite enough for mainstream audiences to care about.
Katy just doesn't know how to promote or to hype up her releases. Something taylor and beyonce is so good at, ariana at 2nd. Katy is such a good artist. I really want her music to succeed. Dont want her to dont want her to flop.
not to be rude or anything but when was the last time Beyonce made a hit ? I don’t really keep up with her specifically a lot but I am always caught up on things that are mainstream if something is trending or if it’s soaring on the charts I hear about it and I haven’t heard anything about Beyonce since what was that The Carter’s album ? But I’m pretty sure that low key flopped I never heard anything about that album and people were over it pretty quickly
Skinny LeRae the carters album? I’ve actually never heard of it. And no singles from her though shes had no hits with them she focuses on her albums her last hit album lemonade in 2016 was huge but her lion king and homecoming albums didn’t do so well tbh.
Beyonce has been left in the 2000's and early 2010's, I see Taylor honestly trending down in the 2020s seeing how Lover Chart #s aren't lasting very long and only did well because of her large existing fanbase, I see Ariana leading the early 2020. Charts if she keeps her sound
IT SHOULD HAVE! If she promoted "NRO" more and did a few live performances than followed up with "HIH"? Amazing! "HIH" is the perfect summer song and it was released in fall. It's odd how songs can have a seasonal association to them, but it's true!
Well it’s Summer over here in Australia and I’m loving HIH! I hope it charts well here. Either way it’s on my repeat shuffle this Summer Xmas Hollies! 🌊🌴 Also I just found your channel Pop Dissected! Great stuff!
Hahaha! I just knew something was going to happen once I posted this video. After I published by video on Katy's "Witness" era and how she could improve with new music, she dropped "Never Really Over" 5 days later! I'm sure the next Katy video I do, she'll release something in the next few days 😂
@@popdissected4400 Btw, are there any other artists to do something like that? I mean posting a music video for a stand-alone single one year after its release? XD
@@infsai well I mean its not that weird cause she just released it as a whole single, rather than just amazon exclusive. Although pretty cliche, I do find the song quite catchy and fun for the holidays so I hope it gets some attention
Did u noticed 2019 was experimental year ,I really think shes just experimenting to get the melody which will fit best for KP5 ,she will Rock in KP5 trust me
@@popdissected4400 I love you so much,u really understood what really happened,not like shit world cancelling her ,but trust me one she take the rage with her singles she will stop after diamond certification,
Well that Con Calma Remix actually made #65 on the 2019 year end list, meaning out of her whole career, Katy has managed to have a spot on year end lists in: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2019 9 years with Katy Perry hits Even if 2020 isn't her year, she has a legacy as a pop icon of a very interesting era of popular music
Seeing her with black hair in the Cozy Little Christmas music video? AMAZING. A moment the entire world has been waiting for. I love her blonde, she looks beautiful - but those raven locks are quite literally Katy Perry. Literally, it's no one else but her. It's her image!
I think Katy flopped because Dr. Luke is no longer in her production team. That man is THE hitmaker, and due to Kesha's controversy, Katy can't work with him any longer...
The Witness era was kind of a disaster, she was overexposed and acting erratically in interviews. I think she needs to take some time off and really take her time on a “comeback” album. “Never Really Over” was a great start
The problem with 365, small talk and harleys is hawaii was definitely not that "everyone already knew about them" lol. The awareness of these tracks amongst the general public is non existent, its just hardcore pop fans and kity kats that are following her right now. Katy's just lost her mainstream appeal since 2017 and a significant amount of time will have to pass before she can be widely popular again. also 365 was incredibly underwhelming as was small talk, they are big reasons why she's flopping for real
While I do understand what you're saying, it wasn't just "hardcore fans" who knew about the tracks. The existence of 365, as well as her other singles had publications written on them. While it may have not been national headlining news, it wasn't some secret that only KatyCats or pop music fans were aware of. I think it's also a bit faulted to say a song being "underwhelming" immediately correlates to it not performing well. 365's leaks heavily hurt the song, and that's just a fact. While some may view the track as "underwhelming", that is not the predominant reason it didn't reach higher on the charts. Small Talk however, I do agree, wasn't Katy's best effort. But the severe negligence in promotion also caused it to not perform well. It's important to also note, these songs are getting little promotion against huge releases that are promoted constantly. It's not solely about one's own opinion affecting the song's chart placement. Harleys in Hawaii wasn't even sent to radio stations in the United States. Thus, it had NO chance to perform at all.
@@popdissected4400 yeah i remember seeing publications about katy singing small talk in a toilet somewhere, but that still doesn't mean anyone knows that song, cause hardly anyone does. Also i really don't think the 365 leak is that significant, if a song gains popularity through streaming its initial release date often isn't important. i dont think 365 was intended to be katy's big comeback single anyway, i think it was meant to slowly re-introduce her/remind the general public she existed, its honestly just not got an exciting chorus or particularly strong vocals. I think that Never really over was supposed to be her potential comeback, its a much better song that has her classic singing style and a big chorus, unfortunately that didn't work out either in a huge way. I just think pop music isn't even really mainstream nowadays, but katy will get her time again, you can clearly hear the influence she's had on singers like kim petras, right now shes just not doing it tho, and deffo not in 2020
@@LC-iz9xm I did include the video of Katy performing Small Talk in the bathroom, a series she's started called "Potty Jams". But that in itself was not what I was referring to. The existence of the song was leaked in May this year, shortly after Never Really Over's release. I'm not saying "everyone" knows of the song or knew of it, but the fact it wasn't a surprising release hurt the song. Because Katy - unfortunately - has to reestablish herself to some degree, I think her releases are dependent on the element of surprise. Or else, it becomes "Oh, another Katy Perry song coming out soon? Okay." No one would care. And you do have a fair point about 365. Now that you mention it, I do see it as more of a way of putting her back into the mainstream as opposed to a big comeback. But in truth, a song leaking in FULL, 2 weeks before it's supposed to release hurts the impact it could have - regardless if its good or not. I do agree though, pop music has slowly shifted to the back burner of the industry. The 2010s was really the decade of pop music, and the mainstream has shifted away from that. And yes, Katy has influence on many artists, such as Kim Petras, Dua Lipa and so on. While I would love to see 2020 be the year Katy reclaims her spotlight, I can understand why that may be "too soon". But as I said in the video, the music industry is an industry. You can't just wait for the perfect time. You have to go for it! Katy needs aggressive promotion, live performances and schedules releases that aren't leaked everywhere.
I'm pretty sure she has a Collab with Taylor coming. And she has to start promoting and hyping more to get back her audience. And I still love her. She defined my childhood with her songs even if I didn't know any music back then
She also literally defined my childhood, as has been my favorite artist of all time. She needs better promotion. We've been lied to about this alleged Taylor collab, and at this point - it's what Katy NEEDS.
Venkat Teja katy perry needs a lil help from her friend taylor swift! She is good well beyond good! I know one day she will make it again! Swifty and KatyCat here! ❤️
I feel like her actual lead is going to be rly big. Katy is liked by radio stations and is played a lot on radios. Cttr had massive prom, I feel like this will. She is just experimenting, every song she has released is different. I feel like she knows what she is doing.
I agree! I think when she does release a 'true' lead off of KP5, we will see massive promotion. I hope it'll be kept under lock and key and we won't have ANY leaks. There's a forum where so many artists are having their information leaked, and while it's exciting to learn about upcoming music, it ruins the element of surprise! It takes the fun out of teasers and trailers for new music. But that's just how the internet is. Me personally, I would love to see Katy venture back into a "One Of The Boys" inspired sound, with maybe some elements of "It Takes Two" and "Choose Your Battles". I love the sound of those songs.
Anthony Ashcraft well it would make sense if she would of promoted it, but she didn’t. Every lead single Katy released is released when there are many award shows on, nro wasn’t. And she never said it wasn’t the lead either, it’s just speculation from billboard articles. And again, my point stands that every single droplet has been different, she’s clearly just experimenting. So how bout you take your pressed ass somewhere else. Fucking clown.
I hope she really make a huge comeback roar. I do love the transition from teenage dream to prism. She served us a lot of trailer for prism. And i want it too for kp5. Please katy listen to us! If u want to success again.
GUYS here what she said when she was asked about her new album by Billboard : "This year has been a fun experimental year, Small Talk and Harleys in hawaii were experimental work, I think now im clear which way to go" I knew she was testing them, I think she meant that she will go the same way as NRO for her new album, WHICH I CANT WAIT FOR!! I think thats the reason she didnt promote them and just didnt care about it because she was experimenting what kind of songs people want..
If you compare Katy with Gaga, she is in the Joanne era currently. Witness is Artpop, with 1 hit and 2 moderate hits. Now Katy has 1 hit and 1 moderate hit, just like Gaga in Joanne. So hopefully Katy's A Star Is Born era will arrive and achieve success like Gaga did.
Oh, interesting comparison! I definitely see that. I think the biggest difference is Katy unfortunately doesn't have a record out, so it's more difficult to connect that comparison, but I do get it! And yes, I hope Katy gets A Star Is Born era so bad!!!
That would be amazing!!! While I want to see her do something akin to PRISM or One of the Boys, I'd love to see her go the "reputation" route and give us some dark visuals and clap back at those who have done her wrong.
I would absolutely love that and it would be a dream, but i dont think that would truly be katy perry (does that make sense). Katy herself is not a dark person or doesnt have some dark side to her. Clapping back isnt her thing. Im not saying she cant have dark sounding music (she can) but i dont think dark lyrics are her thing. Yet again we all said the same thing about taylor w/ rep and rep is my favorite album from her. Idk
@@jacksonenglert2839 i agree, like one of the things i love about Katy is that she just seems happy all the time! she is outspoken, and people take her ignorance in certain parts and twist it into her being some evil bitch
I feel like Katy doesn't care about anything at all like ... wth is going on idk why she does not care she just puts it out ....or maybe shes planning for something is very weird happening
Yeah, I unfortunately feel the same. There does seem to be a lack of "caring", but as she's stated, she's just putting out music when she wants to, so maybe that's why we aren't seeing huge promotion for these songs. I do have a feeling maybe she's planning for something. Hopefully she has a trick or two up her sleeve!
@@popdissected4400 I kinda feel the same tbh cause in harleys in Hawaii mv there is that June 20 date which maybe it's a hint for something which we dont know about so I really hope and it will be her last chance to regain everything she did if she promote it and make a banger again
@@nexolord9 I think the Harleys in Hawaii ship has sailed unfortunately. I would love the track to get HUGE promotion and give her another amazing chart topper, or even land in the Top 20 but at this point, I think it's officially over. All we can do is wait and see. Katy's released a single about every 2 months this year - May, August and October. Maybe we'll get something in December? But as I said in the video, I'd love to see her burst out onto the 2020 GRAMMYs stage with a brand new song and slay us all!
I think brown would be better for kp5 era. And when I say brown I don't mean those unrealistic brunnete with pathetic blonde strips. Just simple brown like Lana del Rey's born to die poster. Its elegant and simple.not very over the top and not very bland and boring. She also needs to get rid of childish color vids and lyrics(small talk)

@Swiftie Foreverandever I'm gonna wait, until she is 35. Is she gonna relevant again or not. I enjoyed music. Bitch, you're enjoying chart. Poor you lil dumbass
Great vid Pop dissected! First off i love alot of Katy's music, just me personally ; her latest music hasn't hit the mark for me (don't come for me - no hate) In saying that Katy still deserves more respect from Capitol records with promo, she worked her way up from the bottom and it does feel like she has been cast on the outside. I feel some artists work better collaborating with certain producers, i will never like Dr Luke as a human, but none of us can deny he was a massive part of the creative process along with Katy that got us into her in the first place. So i think going forward i hope Katy continues to collaborate and maybe find a sonic connection with a producer that can get her music back to connecting with more people like we know she can! Only got love for Katy❤️
“Immortal Flame” deserved better. It deserved a full release. Along with “Never Really Over”, these two were the best things she’s done musically in YEARS.
I don't think necessarily done with "fame", but more so trying to compete and "prove herself". And as a result, she's not doing a lot of promotional work or performances for her releases this past year. Of course, it is her call to live her life however she wants, but I'd hate for her to just be a relic of the 2010s.
She’s releasing stuff she herself wants to release (in order to still be out there) before she releases what the people want (her next album). She’s leading up to something and she knows what she’s doing
Currently binge watching your videos, they're brilliant! Your content is so interesting and you deserve so many more views/subs. Keep up the amazing videos about the pop girls, I love them!
That was a groundbreaking period for any artist and difficult to match again. Katy could certainly have more hits in the future, but her songwriting team has changed, in addition to the pop music landscape.
@@larrycj4382 I completely agree, but will she ever have that effect on pop culture and pop music again, I wouldn’t be so sure of, I hope she does though she deserves it
@@justindrexeldiprimuo2575 We will see. I like her and hope she has some more hits in the future. She is focusing on her baby now, so not sure what 2021 holds for her. Even if she has no more hits, she has a firm presence in US pop history with 9 #1s and the most digital singles sales of any artist.
It was received well by the people and praised but it was not handled well commercially. For example, Taylor Swift’s releases are always handled so properly and strategically perfect in comparison.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but Witness is her best album! This album is in my top 10 of the decade, I still listen to it everyday it’s everything ❤️❤️❤️
I was a HUGE fan until 2018... In 2019 she proved that she doesn’t care about her career anymore...hopefully one day she will win me (and the millions of other fans that abandoned her) back!❤️
Fans did not abandon Katie - they just did not like her recent singles (& I am one of them). They do like her music videos - even "Bon Appetit" (which I do listen to) has over a billion views on YT.
@@queenqueen6734 It takes more than stans to make a hit. Many Pop music fans are receptive to Katy's music, but may not follow her on social media, so they were not aware of her recent singles. This is one of the issues.
I believe "Everyday is a Holiday" was solely for her H&M commercial, and not intended for commercial release. But still, I would love to see it released fully and get a proper music video!
I was SO EXCITED when Never Really Over came out because I thought that song would be it, I thought this would be her breakthrough moment again, I could feel it in those lyrics and in the vocals, it’s a special song and it was robbed. I was one of the people who LOVED Katy but gave up during the Witness era, that album just didn’t catch my attention like her previous ones did, but I thought Never Really Over was amazing and I was excited for Katy to dominate pop again.
Yeah, her political viewpoints most likely alienated audiences. And her long black locks are her signature look! She needs to bring it back! Whether we like it or not - that is her image!
@@popdissected4400 But she has already said that she loves making music and she will continue, She has only released 4 albums come on she cant leave us like this plus she dropped a hint about a new album in 2020.
IMO the releases this year haven’t been massively promoted as they’re only being used to increase katy’s presence on streaming sites (as prism and TD were released pre-stream era, witness was released during but didn’t receive major streaming numbers), katy’s numbers have jumped massively since the start of this year so if that was the plan then it has worked . with this strong streaming following behind her i think next year is when the real promo/kp5 will begin to roll out although i think it’ll just be an EP
@@Lalapopsy I just think it's sad that basically Smile sold a quarter of what Witness sold in its first week just three years ago. And I don't know how you call that successful
@@noo4449 Because she said the album was made purely to tell her story, not to chart. Yet, it had a top 15 single hailed as her comeback, debuted in Billboard's top 5 and iTunes #1, sitting at the latter for several weeks, two singles certified gold, one of which almost platinum, a third single certified gold by ARIA, two EMA award nominations (among others), and all of this was acomolished despite Capitol's extreme sabotage. It was a success 99% of artists could only dream of.
That's a fair point. She's had a rocky year, and even if I'd love to see her succeed in 2020, she very well may not in terms of charts, promotion and public attention. And yes! I hope to see Gaga put out some new music in 2020! Gaga isn't a favorite of mine, but it's undeniable she is a star and has that midas touch.
365, Small Talk and HIH; though I personally love them; weren't necessarily supposed to be huge hits and it was very clear from the lackluster promotion they received from Katy. As she stated earlier this year, she is currently experimenting with different sounds testing what the general public's taste is like nowadays, but most importantly, to see what the public wants from her musically. I do believe however, that NRO is a lost cause for it was received with mainly positive reviews from critics and the public. But although she did give relatively more attention to the song as apposed to her other releases, the lack of televised live performances and proper promotion caused the song to quickly lose its popularity. I personally believe that in order for her to reestablish her powerful Queen of Pop status moving forward, she needs to announce an album because I believe that's what the public really wants from her now. NRO performed decently in the charts because it was believed to be the lead of an upcoming project, and when it was later announced that that wasn't necessarily the case, people lost their interest in Katy all over again. I really hope Katy reclaims her throne bcz the music industry really needs her.
Ooh, very true point! Katy stating she doesn't have an album currently decreases people's interest in her. I think in a way, it results in a "what's the point?" attitude when she's releasing music since it isn't tied to an album. I don't know how engaging this would be - but I'd love to see Katy pull a Taylor Swift type move by teasing an album in a way that's obvious, but still raises questions. Taylor's "easter eggs" were such a great way to keep so many people engaged in her stuff. I'd love if Katy took that approach honesty. But you're right, if she keeps up with the whole "there's no album", then people will just stop caring, and I unfortunately think we're seeing that right now. Never really Over honestly could have been HUGE, but once we realized it wasn't a lead single, interest died down and Katy just moved on to Small Talk, then Harleys in Hawaii. And you're right, they're more or less "droplets". She's putting them out and testing the waters. I mean, Katy has OWNED that throne, and arguably did from 2010 - 2015. There's a lot of ways she can reclaim that throne, but at the rate she's doing things, it won't happen.
Many years ago I told a friend that this was going to happen to Katy in the future, since she was taking such a long break from creating new music during her prism tour era, while pop industry was rapidly shifting and leaving her behind. They told me I was crazy haha... It's a matter of promotion problems, yes. If she doesn't belive in her character and if she doesn't allow herself to be vulnerable and conect with people, no one will believe in her craft, no matter how good her new music might be. I know she has tried this before, during the Witness era but still, everything looked like a mimic, a bizarre caricature of herself. Ariana Grande is successful not only because of her voice, but mostly because people are drawn to know more about her character and story. It's that mistery factor, the one Katy is neglecting. Michael Jackson used to say that you can't be successful in music industry, unless you have an element of mistery attached to you persona, it might be intentional or not but every artist needs that momentum. Katy needs to find it or fabricate it, if she trully wants to come back, because she obviously doesn't have anything interesting to say right now. Also I don't think she needs to come back and I don't think she needs to prove herself to anyone. Her music career is amazing and really complex, she's done more than enough.
I think it's since her whole Witness era people didn't know how to take her. She had a few good hits from it but she can create better. Also, your right about the promotion because I love the songs she has released this year it's like back to 2008-2010 eras. Even if the element of surprise is taking away she still needs promote so that people who don't know of it can. Because i've been finding out about them on Spotify not through Twitter or anything like that.
I just realized that maybe this is the curse. TAYVODOO curse. It works like 90% of the time. 1D Fans (now the band disbanded) John Mayer Carrie Kanye West Michael J Fox Calvin Harris Katy Perry And other artists who dissed Taylor before are having a big downfall. Although Taylor and Katy are friends again so please. WE WANT TO SEE KATY RULE
I love Taylor, but I think she had a hand in Katy's downfall with that stupid "Bad Blood" nonsense. That was one of, if not THE most ridiculous feud we've seen in pop culture. There was NO warrant for it and when Katy defended herself, she received hate. But when Taylor made the allegations, everyone came to her aid. I really love Taylor and support her, but it's hard to forgive her for that - in my opinion.
The whole Bad Blood fiasco was so childish on Taylor’s part that it was ridiculous. And then when Katy explains what happened with the backup dancers and defends herself, she is painted out to be the bad person. Katy did nothing to ignite the feud, Taylor did. I think we all know that.
It's kinda funny how you guys make Taylor out to be the bad guy. Taylor released bad blood, yes, but never once did she mention that it was about Katy. Yes there were rumors flying around. But guess who said it was about them? Katy Perry. If Katy hasn't tweeted that bad blood was about her then she wouldn't have suffered.
@@mutthulakshmi1730 And that wasn't enough confirmation for you? Oh please, who you tryna fool with that "Taylor didnt mention Katy's name" excuse? It was pretty obvious when she orchestrated a whole smear campaign against Katy with that Rolling Stone interview, a whole revenge-type music video dedicated to Katy, all the subliminal messages etc etc.
@@popdissected4400 it can be considered in two ways: one, the two really had feud each other and two, its their plan to create a feud between them to promote taylor's bad blood but it is unlikely. 😛
I slightly agree. While she's stated she's just putting out music for fun (essentially), I think she may be too apprehensive to go all out following the "Witness" era, so she may be holding back in what she is capable of.
The music she released this year is NOT the problem, as you said. It’s the promotion and strategy handling that needs work. Never Really Over could have easily been a top 10, even a top 5 hit if it was handled cleverly. It still managed to be as successful as it did though so that proves there is still interest in her and her star power is still there if the music is good.
So much of her work needs more recognition. LEGENDS NEVER DIE, and IMMORTAL FLAME are amazing, it kills me that they aren't even on iTunes/Spotify 😭😭😭 I also just don't see why people dislike Witness? Its my second favourite album behind Prism
Thanks for checking me out! I love talking about pop music and popular female artists. It's amazing to discuss it with people in the comments as well :)
Witness is too experimental imo. Although i like a few songs from that album, the more classic Katy-sounding songs to be specific. I thought Swish Swish could have been a bigger hit if not no. 1, could have been the first single. It's catchy and stylish. And i love Chained to the Rhythm what a beautiful deep song could have been a No. 1 hit too. I hope she bounces back stronger in 2020! I missed the Teenage Dream era Katy. Cozy Little Christmas is so Classic Katy as well i love it first time to hear it a few days ago!
I need an in-depth look at jojo, her early career and music her unofficial releases and leaks/ mixtapes. Her tringle and mad love. How blackground affected her career. Her true return to commercial music and her upcoming album. PLEASE TALK about jumping trains, all I want is everything her first incarnation of her 3rd album what eventually became mad love. Her path is fascinating and is so truly underrated.
Katy went through so much tbh. Her Witness album flopped because people couldn’t stand her changing, her new singles don’t even have enough promotion and are leaked, she got sued over Dark Horse and she had people making false accusations on her about her sexual assault. I hope 2020 will be better for her and she can find herself again to promote more and to inspire again, against all of this.
Katy got sued THREE times this year; over "Dark Horse", posting a photo of her dressed as Hillary Clinton and from Australian fashion designer Katie Perry for 'stealing her name'. Katy just can't win! And the sexual assault allegations...sick!
“Small Talk” wasn’t a smart single choice. People didn’t like it. Same with “365.” People liked “Never Really Over” and while it wasn’t given any major live performances, it did get pushed at radio. It was more of a pure pop sound which isn’t really in right now but it still did moderately well. HIH should be doing better but I don’t think Capitol is really putting any muscle behind it at Top 40 radio and after “Small Talk” was a dud, I don’t think radio much cares about giving it a real shot.
"HIH" wasn't even sent to radio actually. I've seen more and more comments about "Small Talk" not being good, and I had NO idea it was so devised and not received well by many! But you're right, pop is really just not in right now and I think it's time on the Hot 100 has really begun to run out as the decade has ended. In short, Katy needs to evolve with the industry if she wants new successes.
I think Katy’s key to success in 2020 is promotion. Her latest music had been nothing but hits but hasn’t had the promotion it needs. I think Katy should come out with a romantic album (Like Taylor or Camilla) now that she’s found love again with Orlando. I think that could be new for her music, and start a new era
Liberation had no momentum behind it, a huge hiatus and two flop albums previously. The album being of great quality alone, with an incredible tour, is a win for me.
Never Really Over could have easily been number one with actual promotion
And live performances! Katy, girl....what are you doing?!
You people are stupid. It debuted at #15 and then sank. It was supposed to be her big comeback and it had massive promotion.
It's 2019. Promotion does NOT mean going on television and performing, because that doesn't work anymore. Promotion in 2019 is about Spotify and Apple Music playlisting, which Katy paid big bucks for.
@Tommy Flanagan I agree, She could have had a #1 hit this summer 😫 I mean this is kinda good with a little promotion and it debuted at #15 this means that people still like her music, Lets hope she will make a huge comeback soon!
I love how people are saying that witness "flopped"- I don't think it tanked- it just wasn't what the people wanted From her . She is still cool I think
Tree Agio bitch please give me one example of good promotion that NRO got
Harleys in Hawaii deserved more💔
Yes it did! :(
I love Harleys in Hawaii. I think it's the best out of the new batch of singles she's released
@@benzmusiczone YES!
GAGA SNATCHED MY WIG one of her best songs
Released at the wrong time of the year in October. I'd have put this out in the Summer after NRO instead of Small Talk
LETS HOPE KATY HAS A COMEBACK THIS YEAR we NEED another teenage dream era pls
Yes!!!
next year
yes yes yess
Of course!
That would be VERY interesting
So....this video aged well, huh? Maybe she didn't have hit singles or a huge record, but hey, she's happily engaged and welcomed her first child into the world 🤷♀️ So I think that's a personal win for sure ❤️
It did age fairly well. Smile was by no means a flop.
@@Lalapopsy bruh sixnine’s album debuted higher than hers I’m sorry but that album tanked. I’m still happy for Katy bc she seems to be in a lot better of a place now and she did have her little girl
@@faro8784 And? Still not a flop.
@@Lalapopsy Um yeah the only metric of success some people have is being the best, but the fatal flaw in this is that you get sucked into it all and chase the factors that dont matter. I am so incredibly happy for Katy and believe that her smile albume for having been released simultaneously WITH HER BABY, lol, is a major success. I just hope she now is having long back hair because she wants to. Giving people everything they want only because she wants to. I know her daughter is going to be a force to wrecken with in the world because Daisy WILL be amazing and will be raised in the ways katy never was. Given the fact that Katy turned out so amazing, Daisy will too whether that’s in terms of being a popstar, engineer, teacher, astronaut, or librarian, It will and already is a win for KATY FOR SURE!
Never Really Over is one of the best songs this year
TRULY!
YES ❤️
Never Really Over is the best song she's released since the Teenage Dream era. It might even be better than all of those songs too. That song absolutely should've been a number 1.
After how people trashed her for witness even though it was a good album.... it better be
I'm right there with you. While Witness isn't my favorite record by her, the hatred she personally got was disgusting and unwarranted. NO one deserves to be treated how she was, regardless if you like the music or not. After all of that, it would serve all those haters right if Katy came back into the industry bigger and better than ever!
@Guile Solomon Many mainstream extremely popular artists dont have great lyrics either, both singles and albums. Most people just saw bon appetit and was like OKAY Katie is shit, trash album bye.
People hated on that album because it was “woke and political” but was it really? I never understood it cuz I didn’t really hear anything political about it, just her singing about seeing different perspectives
@@ozyvillanueva9277 People hated it because she marketed it as "purposeful and political pop", when really it was just another pop album about love, breakup, a hint of feminism and being a bad bish
Witness had great storytelling and messages. “Power” and “Hey Hey Hey” are women empowerment songs. “Witness” is about loneliness and looking for someone who understands you. “Into Me You See” is about finding that person. “Deja Vu”, “Dance With the Devil”, and “Mind Maze” are about depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. “Chained to the Rhythm” is about how we don’t see the problems in society. “Swish Swish” is about standing up against bullies. I can go on longer, but you get my point.
I wanna cry because i know katy is powerful singer and always at the top, but since witness she's always underupreciate and so underrated 365 and never really over deserve better!! I hope 2020 is gonna be her comeback and people will see that she's not over!!!
I hope so too!
She just gave a hint shes dropping an album in 2020.
I’m pissed that katy isn’t receiving the success she deserves, because her latest singles are the best songs from her career honestly
I agree! I'm right there with you.
Agreed chained to the rhythm is my song ❤❤❤❤
Yesss 100 percent
Never Really Over was a massive bop.
Absolutely not. Small Talk is horrendous. Never Really Over is annoying. Harley’s In Hawaii is mediocre. Katy has released some TOP TIER pop songs and none of these compare to that. When Katy drops another Part Of Me maybe she’ll achieve huge success again
I want Katy, Gaga and Rihanna on the top again. I want to listen to them EVERYWHERE i go. And I want them to be happy ❤️ LET'S GET IT QUEENS WERE WAITING
YES!!!
Yass please
Well Gaga never fell from the top but agreed, we need some new bomb shit from these older pop queens
Trust me they are happy and pleased with what they achieved regarding their careers. I would love to see them parenting and getting married and stuff I know Rihanna always wanted a baby of her own.
@@chuckychuck8318 Oh i know they are, i just want to see them again at the top like 2012, i miss how music was back then xD
Sounds like someone is sabotaging her honestly
Agreed.....👀
Trump?
tayriana forever why Trump? 😂 Probably her ex Husband?! Who maybe jealous of her amazing new relationship (BTW I wasn’t defending Trump).
@@es5398 cause cttr song is about trump and nugget (her dog) bited trump's doll and katy shared the video so...
katycat forever what? 😮 I didn’t know that!
You literally made a video about what I was thinking about Katy Perry’s career. She just needs good promotion and a little bit of hype behind her. Katy Perry has always been someone whose music people have generally liked, hence why almost all of her songs are climbers on the Hot 100. Her influence has never been what ignited her chart success, like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande who each have a bunch of top 10 debuts. She just needs to get the word out and the quality of the music will take it from there. If she had performed NRO a few times on TV the week after she released, I could’ve easily seen it climb into the top 10, because people actually like it. It’s actually astounding that it was able to stay in the top 40 for so long with no promo, especially considering songs like “Lights Up” which debuted on the Hot 100 at roughly the same position but left after just two weeks because there was no promo. This only confirms the fact that people like her and are willing to get into her music again, she just needs to be a little more adamant, and hopefully, that’s what we see in the future.
Yes, absolutely! Couldn't agree more.
Wrong. Television promotion doesn't do anything for songs anymore. It's 2019 and people don't watch TV as much as they used to. The promotion that works is Spotify, Apple Music, and CZcams promotion. Katy has done ALL of these with every song she's released this year. She's been playlisted by all of the major streaming services and CZcams ads have ran for all of her songs. None of that worked because people don't care anymore.
"This only confirms the fact that people like her and are willing to get into her music again, she just needs to be a little more adamant, and hopefully, that’s what we see in the future.
"
Lol no. If this were the case, the song wouldn't need heavy promo. Songs that need heavy promo to perform well are songs that people are being forced to like. Nowadays, a song's success has to be organic. A song going viral on TikTok turns into a #1 single. You can't force that.
NRO only stayed in the top for as long as it did because they were paying tons of money to keep it on the radio. No one was streaming it or buying it. It was literally only being pushed on radio.
Anthony Ashcraft If people didn’t care anymore, NRO over wouldn’t have debuted at #15 in the first place. It was either her highest or second highest debut on Spotify (can’t remember). You can’t pay millions of people to stream her song. Also, there was of course SOME promo, but none of it was sufficient. As a big Katy fan, I’m always looking at all things related to her, so if I barely saw any promo, I know no one else did. Having these little Amazon Music billboards and what not that appear 3 times a day in a specific location is not effective and only like two of her songs had even that this year. TV performances turn into CZcams videos where people can actually hear the song, it’s up forever, and it can be recommended. I don’t watch any talk shows regularly, yet have seen so many performances from people who I wasn’t looking for, like Kesha, Halsey, Camila Cabello, and this has impacted their songs. Kesha’s song rose on iTunes after the AMAs and Halsey’s song has moved up like ten spots on Billboard after multiple TV performances, so yes, TV does work. And being on a playlist for a few days on Spotify doesn’t provide any renewed or new interest for listeners. Even if people like the song, which PLENTY of fans, critics, and the general public did based on what I’ve seen, if you’re not being consistently directed toward it, you’ll forget about it.
Tik Tok is indeed a place where songs go to become hits, but it will never be the place for Katy Perry no matter how much people like her songs, because Tik Tok is all about music with heavy beats and 808s, so she automatically can’t join in that market, so there was virtually no way for any attention to stay on her music. You need attention no matter where it comes from to have a successful song. And no matter how much promo, if people don’t like the song all that much, no one is forced to stream it or buy it.
I almost never heard NRO on the radio, and I live in Chicago, which is where it got most of its popularity. That should tell you something. For about a month or so, NRO stayed toward the top on Spotify, but once there was no consistent promotion, people just forgot about it because it wasn’t being fed to them in any facet like a new song needs to be to attain popularity.
The other problem is that she is not getting radio play. Why did “Never really Over” struggle so bad at radio?!
I have no idea, I'll be honest. I mean, I'd assume at the end of the day, it's competition from other artists. Cardi B released a song the same day as "Never Really Over", and while it peaked 1 spot below "NRO", I think it got more traction because Cardi has had so much hype recently, and Katy was struggling to get back in the spotlight. "NRO" really could have been THE song to catapult her to #1 on the charts and in the mainstream, but I think there was a lot of unintended competition (in terms of radio and sales).
Bc it's annoying and repetitive as hell!! I stan but I dont care for that single.
@@Mitch-Alex mkay boomer
I heard it on the radio all the time
it was on the radio a lot in my country, but still only peaked at #47. the video trended high and she was #1 on iTunes for a couple of days. people just don’t care for her, she needs to do something BIG before it’s too late and seems - for the lack of better words - desperate/pathetic. I liked NRO and HiH a lot, but they weren’t “Teenage Dream”/“Prism” or the opposite enough for mainstream audiences to care about.
Katy just doesn't know how to promote or to hype up her releases. Something taylor and beyonce is so good at, ariana at 2nd.
Katy is such a good artist. I really want her music to succeed. Dont want her to dont want her to flop.
Very true! Katy needs a better A&R team, and a label who WANTS to promote her.
not to be rude or anything but when was the last time Beyonce made a hit ? I don’t really keep up with her specifically a lot but I am always caught up on things that are mainstream if something is trending or if it’s soaring on the charts I hear about it and I haven’t heard anything about Beyonce since what was that The Carter’s album ? But I’m pretty sure that low key flopped I never heard anything about that album and people were over it pretty quickly
Skinny LeRae the carters album? I’ve actually never heard of it. And no singles from her though shes had no hits with them she focuses on her albums her last hit album lemonade in 2016 was huge but her lion king and homecoming albums didn’t do so well tbh.
Beyoncé?? LMFAO Beyoncé been flopping since 2017
Beyonce has been left in the 2000's and early 2010's, I see Taylor honestly trending down in the 2020s seeing how Lover Chart #s aren't lasting very long and only did well because of her large existing fanbase, I see Ariana leading the early 2020. Charts if she keeps her sound
Harleys in Hawaii should have followed Never Really Over and it would have been the perfect duo.... Small talk had more winter vibe in it
IT SHOULD HAVE! If she promoted "NRO" more and did a few live performances than followed up with "HIH"? Amazing! "HIH" is the perfect summer song and it was released in fall. It's odd how songs can have a seasonal association to them, but it's true!
Well it’s Summer over here in Australia and I’m loving HIH! I hope it charts well here. Either way it’s on my repeat shuffle this Summer Xmas Hollies! 🌊🌴 Also I just found your channel Pop Dissected! Great stuff!

Hahaha! I just knew something was going to happen once I posted this video. After I published by video on Katy's "Witness" era and how she could improve with new music, she dropped "Never Really Over" 5 days later! I'm sure the next Katy video I do, she'll release something in the next few days 😂

It thought the same thing..
Well that Con Calma Remix actually made #65 on the 2019 year end list, meaning out of her whole career, Katy has managed to have a spot on year end lists in:
2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2019
9 years with Katy Perry hits
Even if 2020 isn't her year, she has a legacy as a pop icon of a very interesting era of popular music
Very true!!!! Her legacy is real, but I just hope she'll be able to be center stage once more in her career.
She just needs to have long black hair again and she’ll be on top
Seeing her with black hair in the Cozy Little Christmas music video? AMAZING. A moment the entire world has been waiting for. I love her blonde, she looks beautiful - but those raven locks are quite literally Katy Perry. Literally, it's no one else but her. It's her image!
This is honestly so true! She just looks so much better with the black hair
i HOPE she goes back to black hair because it really would win everyone over.
EXACTLY👍👍👍
😂🤣
I hope so.. she needs to bounce back on top of the game. What im sure about is lady gaga and rihanna will be big next year thats for sure
I have no doubt about that! I hope Katy can join them on top as well!
noel yacat Gaga, Rihanna AND Adele
Ladygaga on top since 2018 until now..i hope katy will back like gaga too..
Harleys in Hawaii is so underrated that it pains me
Agreed!
I think Katy flopped because Dr. Luke is no longer in her production team. That man is THE hitmaker, and due to Kesha's controversy, Katy can't work with him any longer...
Oooh, very true point! Despite Dr. Luke's horrific controversy, he knew how to do his job and do it well. That's a fact!
But still, har new album, SMILE is awesome
The Witness era was kind of a disaster, she was overexposed and acting erratically in interviews. I think she needs to take some time off and really take her time on a “comeback” album. “Never Really Over” was a great start
Agreed!
The problem with 365, small talk and harleys is hawaii was definitely not that "everyone already knew about them" lol. The awareness of these tracks amongst the general public is non existent, its just hardcore pop fans and kity kats that are following her right now. Katy's just lost her mainstream appeal since 2017 and a significant amount of time will have to pass before she can be widely popular again. also 365 was incredibly underwhelming as was small talk, they are big reasons why she's flopping for real
While I do understand what you're saying, it wasn't just "hardcore fans" who knew about the tracks. The existence of 365, as well as her other singles had publications written on them. While it may have not been national headlining news, it wasn't some secret that only KatyCats or pop music fans were aware of. I think it's also a bit faulted to say a song being "underwhelming" immediately correlates to it not performing well. 365's leaks heavily hurt the song, and that's just a fact. While some may view the track as "underwhelming", that is not the predominant reason it didn't reach higher on the charts. Small Talk however, I do agree, wasn't Katy's best effort. But the severe negligence in promotion also caused it to not perform well. It's important to also note, these songs are getting little promotion against huge releases that are promoted constantly. It's not solely about one's own opinion affecting the song's chart placement. Harleys in Hawaii wasn't even sent to radio stations in the United States. Thus, it had NO chance to perform at all.
@@popdissected4400 yeah i remember seeing publications about katy singing small talk in a toilet somewhere, but that still doesn't mean anyone knows that song, cause hardly anyone does. Also i really don't think the 365 leak is that significant, if a song gains popularity through streaming its initial release date often isn't important. i dont think 365 was intended to be katy's big comeback single anyway, i think it was meant to slowly re-introduce her/remind the general public she existed, its honestly just not got an exciting chorus or particularly strong vocals. I think that Never really over was supposed to be her potential comeback, its a much better song that has her classic singing style and a big chorus, unfortunately that didn't work out either in a huge way. I just think pop music isn't even really mainstream nowadays, but katy will get her time again, you can clearly hear the influence she's had on singers like kim petras, right now shes just not doing it tho, and deffo not in 2020
@@LC-iz9xm I did include the video of Katy performing Small Talk in the bathroom, a series she's started called "Potty Jams". But that in itself was not what I was referring to. The existence of the song was leaked in May this year, shortly after Never Really Over's release. I'm not saying "everyone" knows of the song or knew of it, but the fact it wasn't a surprising release hurt the song. Because Katy - unfortunately - has to reestablish herself to some degree, I think her releases are dependent on the element of surprise. Or else, it becomes "Oh, another Katy Perry song coming out soon? Okay." No one would care. And you do have a fair point about 365.
Now that you mention it, I do see it as more of a way of putting her back into the mainstream as opposed to a big comeback. But in truth, a song leaking in FULL, 2 weeks before it's supposed to release hurts the impact it could have - regardless if its good or not. I do agree though, pop music has slowly shifted to the back burner of the industry. The 2010s was really the decade of pop music, and the mainstream has shifted away from that. And yes, Katy has influence on many artists, such as Kim Petras, Dua Lipa and so on. While I would love to see 2020 be the year Katy reclaims her spotlight, I can understand why that may be "too soon". But as I said in the video, the music industry is an industry. You can't just wait for the perfect time. You have to go for it! Katy needs aggressive promotion, live performances and schedules releases that aren't leaked everywhere.
I'm pretty sure she has a Collab with Taylor coming. And she has to start promoting and hyping more to get back her audience. And I still love her. She defined my childhood with her songs even if I didn't know any music back then
She also literally defined my childhood, as has been my favorite artist of all time. She needs better promotion. We've been lied to about this alleged Taylor collab, and at this point - it's what Katy NEEDS.
@@popdissected4400 exactly I was thinking. It will surely go no 1.
Venkat Teja katy perry needs a lil help from her friend taylor swift! She is good well beyond good! I know one day she will make it again! Swifty and KatyCat here! ❤️
I feel like her actual lead is going to be rly big. Katy is liked by radio stations and is played a lot on radios. Cttr had massive prom, I feel like this will. She is just experimenting, every song she has released is different. I feel like she knows what she is doing.
I agree! I think when she does release a 'true' lead off of KP5, we will see massive promotion. I hope it'll be kept under lock and key and we won't have ANY leaks. There's a forum where so many artists are having their information leaked, and while it's exciting to learn about upcoming music, it ruins the element of surprise! It takes the fun out of teasers and trailers for new music. But that's just how the internet is. Me personally, I would love to see Katy venture back into a "One Of The Boys" inspired sound, with maybe some elements of "It Takes Two" and "Choose Your Battles". I love the sound of those songs.
Lmao. Except, NRO was supposed to be the actual lead and it bombed. She's only now saying it wasn't a lead because that would've been embarrassing.
Anthony Ashcraft well it would make sense if she would of promoted it, but she didn’t. Every lead single Katy released is released when there are many award shows on, nro wasn’t. And she never said it wasn’t the lead either, it’s just speculation from billboard articles. And again, my point stands that every single droplet has been different, she’s clearly just experimenting. So how bout you take your pressed ass somewhere else. Fucking clown.
NRO was playlisted on Spotify and still flopped
MusicRecordsChannel FlOpPed. A platinum hit that is in the Spotify top 200 (it was in the major playlists for about a week).
DEAR POP DISSECTED, YOU DESERVA MORE RECOGNITION
Thank you so much!!!!
I hope she really make a huge comeback roar. I do love the transition from teenage dream to prism. She served us a lot of trailer for prism. And i want it too for kp5. Please katy listen to us! If u want to success again.
Katy needs her fans to be her management at this point!
Hope she'll released a teaser, same as Prism but instead, she is attending Witness funeral
GUYS here what she said when she was asked about her new album by Billboard : "This year has been a fun experimental year, Small Talk and Harleys in hawaii were experimental work, I think now im clear which way to go"
I knew she was testing them, I think she meant that she will go the same way as NRO for her new album, WHICH I CANT WAIT FOR!!
I think thats the reason she didnt promote them and just didnt care about it because she was experimenting what kind of songs people want..
What’s NRO it’s late at night and I’m dumb
@@stanconnorstan4266 It stands for "Never Really Over"
If you compare Katy with Gaga, she is in the Joanne era currently. Witness is Artpop, with 1 hit and 2 moderate hits. Now Katy has 1 hit and 1 moderate hit, just like Gaga in Joanne. So hopefully Katy's A Star Is Born era will arrive and achieve success like Gaga did.
Oh, interesting comparison! I definitely see that. I think the biggest difference is Katy unfortunately doesn't have a record out, so it's more difficult to connect that comparison, but I do get it! And yes, I hope Katy gets A Star Is Born era so bad!!!
@@popdissected4400 Me too. I am a huge fan of both of them.
@@nam_1018 Yes!! They're both incredible!
Im Gaga's fan but I always loved Katy Perry so much too. I want 2020 to be the year of both and so we can feel like its 2008-2011 period again
Yes!!! Take us back to the early 2010s when those queens RAN the industry!
Oh goddd my 17 year old heart would burst lmao 😍
Yesssss
Ladygaga back to on to since 2018 until now..next just hope katy back too..
Let's hope 2021 will be her year😭
I hope she does a dark era
That would be amazing!!! While I want to see her do something akin to PRISM or One of the Boys, I'd love to see her go the "reputation" route and give us some dark visuals and clap back at those who have done her wrong.
Everyone thought that Prism would be a dark era back then but nahh lol
I would absolutely love that and it would be a dream, but i dont think that would truly be katy perry (does that make sense). Katy herself is not a dark person or doesnt have some dark side to her. Clapping back isnt her thing. Im not saying she cant have dark sounding music (she can) but i dont think dark lyrics are her thing. Yet again we all said the same thing about taylor w/ rep and rep is my favorite album from her. Idk
@@jacksonenglert2839 i agree, like one of the things i love about Katy is that she just seems happy all the time! she is outspoken, and people take her ignorance in certain parts and twist it into her being some evil bitch
I feel like Katy doesn't care about anything at all like ... wth is going on idk why she does not care she just puts it out ....or maybe shes planning for something is very weird happening
Yeah, I unfortunately feel the same. There does seem to be a lack of "caring", but as she's stated, she's just putting out music when she wants to, so maybe that's why we aren't seeing huge promotion for these songs. I do have a feeling maybe she's planning for something. Hopefully she has a trick or two up her sleeve!
@@popdissected4400 I kinda feel the same tbh cause in harleys in Hawaii mv there is that June 20 date which maybe it's a hint for something which we dont know about so I really hope and it will be her last chance to regain everything she did if she promote it and make a banger again
@@nexolord9 I think the Harleys in Hawaii ship has sailed unfortunately. I would love the track to get HUGE promotion and give her another amazing chart topper, or even land in the Top 20 but at this point, I think it's officially over. All we can do is wait and see. Katy's released a single about every 2 months this year - May, August and October. Maybe we'll get something in December? But as I said in the video, I'd love to see her burst out onto the 2020 GRAMMYs stage with a brand new song and slay us all!
@@nexolord9 What June 20 hint? I missed it OMG
@blanche I agree with that but with different audience, for me, the general public is for her looks and her fanbase, for her.
i would love to see katy perry back on top however i dont foresee it coming.
Who knows what the future holds 😔 🤷♀️
If she keeps her short blond hair it means flop, if she comes back with dark hair she'll go back to the top
Her black hair is her signature look, and it's a fact - the public will respond to that!
I think brown would be better for kp5 era. And when I say brown I don't mean those unrealistic brunnete with pathetic blonde strips. Just simple brown like Lana del Rey's born to die poster.
Its elegant and simple.not very over the top and not very bland and boring.
She also needs to get rid of childish color vids and lyrics(small talk)

Great vid Pop dissected!
First off i love alot of Katy's music, just me personally ; her latest music hasn't hit the mark for me (don't come for me - no hate) In saying that Katy still deserves more respect from Capitol records with promo, she worked her way up from the bottom and it does feel like she has been cast on the outside.
I feel some artists work better collaborating with certain producers, i will never like Dr Luke as a human, but none of us can deny he was a massive part of the creative process along with Katy that got us into her in the first place. So i think going forward i hope Katy continues to collaborate and maybe find a sonic connection with a producer that can get her music back to connecting with more people like we know she can! Only got love for Katy❤️
Very good points you bring up!! Thank you for watching!
aged like milk💀 not the end of the world didn't even chart🤧😔
Well it's not really a single
Smile didn’t chart either
(The song not the album)
“Immortal Flame” deserved better. It deserved a full release. Along with “Never Really Over”, these two were the best things she’s done musically in YEARS.
I like her hair cut but if she dyed it black it would be so stunning honestly!
Agreed! I love her with her black hair!
She could wear a wig as she often did in the past, sometimes on a daily basis.
Actually she is kinda like done with fame which he mentioned in many interviews before the release of witness
So she is just having fun making music
I don't think necessarily done with "fame", but more so trying to compete and "prove herself". And as a result, she's not doing a lot of promotional work or performances for her releases this past year. Of course, it is her call to live her life however she wants, but I'd hate for her to just be a relic of the 2010s.
@@popdissected4400 exactly yees
Boy this is really good quality content you need more recognition. Already subscribed
Thank you so much!!!
She’s releasing stuff she herself wants to release (in order to still be out there) before she releases what the people want (her next album). She’s leading up to something and she knows what she’s doing

I KNOW 😭
I don’t think she will ever reach the heights of Teenage Dream and Prism
That was a groundbreaking period for any artist and difficult to match again. Katy could certainly have more hits in the future, but her songwriting team has changed, in addition to the pop music landscape.
@@larrycj4382 I completely agree, but will she ever have that effect on pop culture and pop music again, I wouldn’t be so sure of, I hope she does though she deserves it
@@justindrexeldiprimuo2575 We will see. I like her and hope she has some more hits in the future. She is focusing on her baby now, so not sure what 2021 holds for her. Even if she has no more hits, she has a firm presence in US pop history with 9 #1s and the most digital singles sales of any artist.
Harleys in Hawaii is such a great song, i am sad it was not received well......
Me too! :(
It was received well by the people and praised but it was not handled well commercially. For example, Taylor Swift’s releases are always handled so properly and strategically perfect in comparison.
@@peaceful_chaos14 true that
Katy needs to learn from Taylor alot.. About promoting and hyping her singles... HIH and NRO deserves better
I think Katy having her daughter Daisy has indeed made 2020 a good year for her. 🙂 🌼
Maybe an unpopular opinion but Witness is her best album! This album is in my top 10 of the decade, I still listen to it everyday it’s everything ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait to see what she has for us in the future!
Me too!
I was a HUGE fan until 2018... In 2019 she proved that she doesn’t care about her career anymore...hopefully one day she will win me (and the millions of other fans that abandoned her) back!❤️
Fans did not abandon Katie - they just did not like her recent singles (& I am one of them). They do like her music videos - even "Bon Appetit" (which I do listen to) has over a billion views on YT.
I come from the future, we are in the year 2021 now, and 2020 wasn't Katy's year, her career is dead now.
365 is the most underrated song in the history not just in Katy's career
Truth.
It’s now dec 2020 and the answer is still nope.
I honestly didnt know she released any of these songs
That's the issue :\
You're not a fan, then! If you're following her on Instagram or Twitter or FB you'd have known
@@queenqueen6734 It takes more than stans to make a hit. Many Pop music fans are receptive to Katy's music, but may not follow her on social media, so they were not aware of her recent singles. This is one of the issues.
"Harleys In Hawaii" issa bop, WHY Y'ALL STILL SLEEPING ON HER?💔
*Well.. to put it short, NO.* 😑
she could release a full version of “everyday is a holiday” haha and make it another christmas track maybe this December
I believe "Everyday is a Holiday" was solely for her H&M commercial, and not intended for commercial release. But still, I would love to see it released fully and get a proper music video!
Pop Dissected yea haha idk I felt it was a bit wasted her vocals on it were so goood
I was SO EXCITED when Never Really Over came out because I thought that song would be it, I thought this would be her breakthrough moment again, I could feel it in those lyrics and in the vocals, it’s a special song and it was robbed. I was one of the people who LOVED Katy but gave up during the Witness era, that album just didn’t catch my attention like her previous ones did, but I thought Never Really Over was amazing and I was excited for Katy to dominate pop again.
"NRO" deserved so much more, but poor promotion and no performances just killed it :( It's still an amazing song!
RECOMMENDED TO ME AFTER 1 YEAR 😭
update: no :(
KEEP GOING IM FAN FROM MOROCCO YOU DESERVE SO MUCH SUBSCRIBERS
That's so kind of you. Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed the video.
She has to stay out of politics, grow her long black hair, make catchy tune like roar again.
Yeah, her political viewpoints most likely alienated audiences. And her long black locks are her signature look! She needs to bring it back! Whether we like it or not - that is her image!

I know! It's so sad.
Especially when some "fans" sang it to her before its release

update from 2021
it wasn't
IMO the releases this year haven’t been massively promoted as they’re only being used to increase katy’s presence on streaming sites (as prism and TD were released pre-stream era, witness was released during but didn’t receive major streaming numbers), katy’s numbers have jumped massively since the start of this year so if that was the plan then it has worked . with this strong streaming following behind her i think next year is when the real promo/kp5 will begin to roll out although i think it’ll just be an EP
Very interesting points! I hope we see some "new era" promo next year! And an EP would be good for her honestly.
Reporting from the future...it wasn’t her year, no hot 100 singles and Smile debuted at no.5 on the billboard 200
STOP Y'ALL 😂 I get it...this video AGEDDDD
Yes it was.
I mean, Daisies was a Hot 100 charting single, but yes, I have to agree
@@noo4449 It was a successful album. Period.
@@Lalapopsy it sold 50.000 on his first week 💀
That is such an aesthetically pleasing thumbmail

The answer is yes❤️
@@Lalapopsy stop lying to yourself. Yes, she released some cool songs, but they weren't at all successful compared to her standards
@@noo4449 And? Still her year.
@@Lalapopsy I just think it's sad that basically Smile sold a quarter of what Witness sold in its first week just three years ago. And I don't know how you call that successful
@@noo4449 Because she said the album was made purely to tell her story, not to chart. Yet, it had a top 15 single hailed as her comeback, debuted in Billboard's top 5 and iTunes #1, sitting at the latter for several weeks, two singles certified gold, one of which almost platinum, a third single certified gold by ARIA, two EMA award nominations (among others), and all of this was acomolished despite Capitol's extreme sabotage. It was a success 99% of artists could only dream of.
Spoiler : it wasn't
after watching this video i really dont think katy will win in2020 . it wont be her year . but i feel like gaga will be succesfull in 2020
That's a fair point. She's had a rocky year, and even if I'd love to see her succeed in 2020, she very well may not in terms of charts, promotion and public attention. And yes! I hope to see Gaga put out some new music in 2020! Gaga isn't a favorite of mine, but it's undeniable she is a star and has that midas touch.
Pop Dissected that touch didn’t actually work with artpop, joanne and half of the BTW singles...
avpz All the singles of BTW were top 10 except MTN 👄
365, Never Really Over & Harleys in Hawaii were all absolute bops. I’m excited for her next album. 🥰🤪
Me too!!! And yes, they were amazing tbh.
Just found your channel. Been binging. Great content man
Thank you so much!
Short answer: no.
365, Small Talk and HIH; though I personally love them; weren't necessarily supposed to be huge hits and it was very clear from the lackluster promotion they received from Katy. As she stated earlier this year, she is currently experimenting with different sounds testing what the general public's taste is like nowadays, but most importantly, to see what the public wants from her musically. I do believe however, that NRO is a lost cause for it was received with mainly positive reviews from critics and the public. But although she did give relatively more attention to the song as apposed to her other releases, the lack of televised live performances and proper promotion caused the song to quickly lose its popularity. I personally believe that in order for her to reestablish her powerful Queen of Pop status moving forward, she needs to announce an album because I believe that's what the public really wants from her now. NRO performed decently in the charts because it was believed to be the lead of an upcoming project, and when it was later announced that that wasn't necessarily the case, people lost their interest in Katy all over again. I really hope Katy reclaims her throne bcz the music industry really needs her.
Ooh, very true point! Katy stating she doesn't have an album currently decreases people's interest in her. I think in a way, it results in a "what's the point?" attitude when she's releasing music since it isn't tied to an album. I don't know how engaging this would be - but I'd love to see Katy pull a Taylor Swift type move by teasing an album in a way that's obvious, but still raises questions. Taylor's "easter eggs" were such a great way to keep so many people engaged in her stuff. I'd love if Katy took that approach honesty. But you're right, if she keeps up with the whole "there's no album", then people will just stop caring, and I unfortunately think we're seeing that right now. Never really Over honestly could have been HUGE, but once we realized it wasn't a lead single, interest died down and Katy just moved on to Small Talk, then Harleys in Hawaii. And you're right, they're more or less "droplets". She's putting them out and testing the waters. I mean, Katy has OWNED that throne, and arguably did from 2010 - 2015. There's a lot of ways she can reclaim that throne, but at the rate she's doing things, it won't happen.
Many years ago I told a friend that this was going to happen to Katy in the future, since she was taking such a long break from creating new music during her prism tour era, while pop industry was rapidly shifting and leaving her behind. They told me I was crazy haha... It's a matter of promotion problems, yes. If she doesn't belive in her character and if she doesn't allow herself to be vulnerable and conect with people, no one will believe in her craft, no matter how good her new music might be. I know she has tried this before, during the Witness era but still, everything looked like a mimic, a bizarre caricature of herself. Ariana Grande is successful not only because of her voice, but mostly because people are drawn to know more about her character and story. It's that mistery factor, the one Katy is neglecting. Michael Jackson used to say that you can't be successful in music industry, unless you have an element of mistery attached to you persona, it might be intentional or not but every artist needs that momentum. Katy needs to find it or fabricate it, if she trully wants to come back, because she obviously doesn't have anything interesting to say right now. Also I don't think she needs to come back and I don't think she needs to prove herself to anyone. Her music career is amazing and really complex, she's done more than enough.
Very good points!
I didn't even know that Harleys in Hawaii was a thing?? Shows what great promotional work her team is doing
LOL. Right? Capitol is sucking at their job. The song didn't even get sent to radio.
@@popdissected4400 I'm all caught up now thanks to you and it's a banger
I think it's since her whole Witness era people didn't know how to take her. She had a few good hits from it but she can create better. Also, your right about the promotion because I love the songs she has released this year it's like back to 2008-2010 eras. Even if the element of surprise is taking away she still needs promote so that people who don't know of it can. Because i've been finding out about them on Spotify not through Twitter or anything like that.
Agreed!
I just realized that maybe this is the curse. TAYVODOO curse. It works like 90% of the time.
1D Fans (now the band disbanded)
John Mayer

Kanye West
Michael J Fox
Calvin Harris
Katy Perry
And other artists who dissed Taylor before are having a big downfall.
Although Taylor and Katy are friends again so please. WE WANT TO SEE KATY RULE
I love Taylor, but I think she had a hand in Katy's downfall with that stupid "Bad Blood" nonsense. That was one of, if not THE most ridiculous feud we've seen in pop culture. There was NO warrant for it and when Katy defended herself, she received hate. But when Taylor made the allegations, everyone came to her aid. I really love Taylor and support her, but it's hard to forgive her for that - in my opinion.
The whole Bad Blood fiasco was so childish on Taylor’s part that it was ridiculous. And then when Katy explains what happened with the backup dancers and defends herself, she is painted out to be the bad person. Katy did nothing to ignite the feud, Taylor did. I think we all know that.
It's kinda funny how you guys make Taylor out to be the bad guy. Taylor released bad blood, yes, but never once did she mention that it was about Katy. Yes there were rumors flying around. But guess who said it was about them? Katy Perry. If Katy hasn't tweeted that bad blood was about her then she wouldn't have suffered.
@@mutthulakshmi1730 And that wasn't enough confirmation for you? Oh please, who you tryna fool with that "Taylor didnt mention Katy's name" excuse? It was pretty obvious when she orchestrated a whole smear campaign against Katy with that Rolling Stone interview, a whole revenge-type music video dedicated to Katy, all the subliminal messages etc etc.
@@popdissected4400 it can be considered in two ways: one, the two really had feud each other and two, its their plan to create a feud between them to promote taylor's bad blood but it is unlikely. 😛
Katy has always stood out to me for always having really fun, unique and cute music videos.
Many of her videos have over 1 billion views or close to it on CZcams. Even songs that were not big hits, which shows Katie is still popular.
She isn't doing well cause her heart is not in music anymore.
I slightly agree. While she's stated she's just putting out music for fun (essentially), I think she may be too apprehensive to go all out following the "Witness" era, so she may be holding back in what she is capable of.
Pop Dissected she said on her instagram today she’s dropping music in the 2020s
@@jamorianlockett1197 I SAW! I'm excited!
NRO has a lot of heart
She said she’s not fully committed to put out an album or tour yet so she’s putting out lots of singles to have fun until she is ready.
The music she released this year is NOT the problem, as you said. It’s the promotion and strategy handling that needs work. Never Really Over could have easily been a top 10, even a top 5 hit if it was handled cleverly. It still managed to be as successful as it did though so that proves there is still interest in her and her star power is still there if the music is good.
Truth!
Katy fell off, I hate to say it, I don’t see her reaching the heights of Prism or Teenage Dream, this next era will be her Joanne Era
So much of her work needs more recognition. LEGENDS NEVER DIE, and IMMORTAL FLAME are amazing, it kills me that they aren't even on iTunes/Spotify 😭😭😭
I also just don't see why people dislike Witness? Its my second favourite album behind Prism
Ahhhh please do more of these I️ loved this!! You should do one on kesha or Britney Spears
Thank you so much! And I'll definitely look into it!
kesha needs one
Yess please do one on Britney 💜💜
Just found your channel. I been looking for a channel discussing these things. 👍🏾
Thanks for checking me out! I love talking about pop music and popular female artists. It's amazing to discuss it with people in the comments as well :)
*Same with Taylor, how about bring Max Martin's team back into your albums production?! 🤷♀️*
I wish she would have done an album with the vibe of rise. That would have been powerful.
Witness is too experimental imo. Although i like a few songs from that album, the more classic Katy-sounding songs to be specific. I thought Swish Swish could have been a bigger hit if not no. 1, could have been the first single. It's catchy and stylish. And i love Chained to the Rhythm what a beautiful deep song could have been a No. 1 hit too. I hope she bounces back stronger in 2020! I missed the Teenage Dream era Katy. Cozy Little Christmas is so Classic Katy as well i love it first time to hear it a few days ago!
"CLC" is so great! Next to "NRO", it's the best thing she's released in the last year. I hope she makes a huge comeback in 2020 as well!
I follow Katy in social media but literally had no idea HiH existed until it hit CZcams
Same with 90% of everyone else 😭
I only discovered "Bon Appetit" a few weeks ago and it is on my hit list now. Never heard it when it was released.
I really like your voice a lot! I hope that doesn't come off as strange.🙃
Thank you! It's not strange at all, I appreciate the compliment, haha!
I need an in-depth look at jojo, her early career and music her unofficial releases and leaks/ mixtapes. Her tringle and mad love. How blackground affected her career. Her true return to commercial music and her upcoming album. PLEASE TALK about jumping trains, all I want is everything her first incarnation of her 3rd album what eventually became mad love. Her path is fascinating and is so truly underrated.
remember she has a 25 days of christmas and who knows what day 25 will be maybe a release DATE for a new lead single for KP5
TRUE! Let's hope something big comes at the end of this!
Katy went through so much tbh. Her Witness album flopped because people couldn’t stand her changing, her new singles don’t even have enough promotion and are leaked, she got sued over Dark Horse and she had people making false accusations on her about her sexual assault.
I hope 2020 will be better for her and she can find herself again to promote more and to inspire again, against all of this.
Katy got sued THREE times this year; over "Dark Horse", posting a photo of her dressed as Hillary Clinton and from Australian fashion designer Katie Perry for 'stealing her name'. Katy just can't win! And the sexual assault allegations...sick!
“Small Talk” wasn’t a smart single choice. People didn’t like it. Same with “365.” People liked “Never Really Over” and while it wasn’t given any major live performances, it did get pushed at radio. It was more of a pure pop sound which isn’t really in right now but it still did moderately well. HIH should be doing better but I don’t think Capitol is really putting any muscle behind it at Top 40 radio and after “Small Talk” was a dud, I don’t think radio much cares about giving it a real shot.
"HIH" wasn't even sent to radio actually. I've seen more and more comments about "Small Talk" not being good, and I had NO idea it was so devised and not received well by many! But you're right, pop is really just not in right now and I think it's time on the Hot 100 has really begun to run out as the decade has ended. In short, Katy needs to evolve with the industry if she wants new successes.
Pop Dissected If it wasn’t sent to radio, does that mean it wasn’t a single?
I think Katy’s key to success in 2020 is promotion. Her latest music had been nothing but hits but hasn’t had the promotion it needs. I think Katy should come out with a romantic album (Like Taylor or Camilla) now that she’s found love again with Orlando. I think that could be new for her music, and start a new era
Oooh, wonderful idea! And yes, promotion is essential in 2020. Without it? Well....
please do the same but with christina aguilera and why liberation flopped
Christina is definitely on my video wishlist of "Why [certain album] 'flopped'" :)
Liberation had no momentum behind it, a huge hiatus and two flop albums previously. The album being of great quality alone, with an incredible tour, is a win for me.
I hope Katy Perry make a dark era, and make a lead smash hit single like Dark Horse..
I'd love to see it!
