LisaVandercunt 19 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Katy Perry - Witness Of the five albums I chose to be featured on this list, Katy Perry’s is the highest-charting by far, and that is surely its saving grace. The singer’s fourth proper studio album became her third in a row to debut at No. 1 back in June, but it didn’t stick around for long, and what many in the music industry imagined to be true was proven: Perry is a singles artist, and when that route doesn’t work, it can all come crashing down. Witness was met with mildly positive to tepid reviews, and while lead single “Chained to the Rhythm†did break into the top five on the Hot 100 upon arrival, it dropped quickly after that, and both follow-ups, “Bon Appétit†and “Swish Swish,†failed to break into the Top 40, despite expensive music videos and promotional campaigns. That's in stark contrast to her past records, which have all featured at least one (and up to five) No. 1 hits.

evil4life 3,270 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 tbh i feel like for the past 2 years all the major female soloists have been such a massive miss with their albums but Katy Perry is actually not one them to a certain extent despite the mediocre response to this era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
