'Why has Perry not been afforded the same rebound opportunity that, say, Lady Gaga has had?'
When you compare Perry to artists in similar positions, there’s a feeling like she maybe deserved better She was already an established popstar, of course: breakout smash I Kissed A Girl had been inescapable in the summer of 2008, and follow-up Hot N Cold confirmed she’d be way more than a one-hit wonder.
It’s a far cry from her earlier days when releases would take her to No. 1. Teenage Dream was certified three-times platinum in the US, four-times platinum in the UK and four-times platinum in Australia, and its accompanying California Dreams Tour spanned 127 concerts and formed the basis for the now-iconic documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me.
One easy explanation is simply that her recent singles have been weak – and yes, I’d definitely agree that, even if they do resonate strongly with Perry’s personal journey over the last few years. In this complicated chart era, there’s absolutely no shame in narrowly avoiding the Top 10 – especially when you’ve already been at it for more than a decade.
She was widely mocked in memes, the whole era was completely dismissed as being trash , and even her record label boss publicly commented on how it failed to connect. Gaga had phenomenal breakout success at a similar time to Teenage Dream, and the trajectory of her 2016 Joanne album wasn’t that different to Perry’s Witness. But with 2020’s Chromatica, she’s once again one of the biggest stars in the world.
