Despite an encouraging global reception, Katy Perry’s latest single, “Lifetimes,” has failed to secure a spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Released on August 8, the song was anticipated to revive the Pop star's chart-topping streak after the lukewarm response to her previous single, “Woman’s World.”
Produced by Dr. Luke, “Lifetimes” was widely regarded as a return to form for Perry, with many fans and critics noting its up-tempo, signature sound.
The initial response raised hopes that it could perform better than its predecessor, which also struggled to gain traction.
However, the updated Billboard charts reveal that while “Lifetimes” received a warm critical reception, it has not translated into commercial success.
The track debuted at #15 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, a list that ranks songs just outside the main Hot 100, reflecting strong but not overwhelming sales, radio play, and streaming figures.
The back-to-back underperformance of her singles raises concerns about the potential commercial success of Perry’s upcoming album, "143", scheduled for release on September 20.
However, with a major tour and an MTV Video Vanguard performance on the horizon, there remains hope that Perry can turn things around and regain her chart dominance.
Fans and industry observers alike will be watching closely as Perry continues to promote her new era.
