Katy Perry’s “Woman’s World” Has Lackluster Debut On Billboard Hot 100 Chart

Katy Perry is accustomed to releasing chart-topping hits during her best-selling, 23-year career, amassing 9 No. 1 hits and 14 Top 10 singles over that span. But Perry’s massively hyped new single, “Woman’s World,” failed to achieve those same lofty heights of her previous successful singles, debuting with an unimpressive thud at No. 63 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart, while coming in at No. 65 on the Global 200, and at No. 47 in the U.K. chart. Perry’s new song was also met with relative indifference on streaming services, coming in at No. 110 on Spotify’s U.S.-based chart and No. 58 on the Spotify global chart.

Perry’s fans were upset about Dr. Luke’s involvement on “Woman’s World,” following Kesha’s accusations of sexual misconduct against the producer. The Rosie the Riveter-themed music video for the song was also met with backlash by fans, who felt the clip was exploitative and tailored to the male gaze. (Variety)
