Katy Perry’s latest single, “Woman’s World,” has not made the splash many fans had hoped for. Despite the excitement surrounding her comeback, the 39-year-old pop star’s new track debuted at a rather underwhelming No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in its first full tracking week.
According to Variety, the song’s performance was similarly modest on other charts. “Woman’s World” debuted at No. 65 on the Global 200 and at No. 47 on the UK charts. In the streaming world, it landed at No. 110 on Spotify’s U.S.-based chart and at No. 58 on Spotify’s global chart. These numbers suggest that while there is certainly interest, it hasn’t translated into a chart-topping hit just yet.
Katy Perry has experienced mixed chart success in recent years. Her previous solo single, “Daisies,” from her 2020 album Smile, peaked at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 but quickly fell off the list.
“Woman’s World” is the lead single from Katy’s upcoming seventh studio album, 143, which is set to release on September 20. The anticipation for this album is high, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see if the full album will resonate more strongly than its first single.
Katy’s career has been marked by incredible highs, including numerous No. 1 hits and record-breaking achievements. Songs like “Firework,” “Roar,” and “Dark Horse” have become pop culture staples, cementing her status as a pop icon. Fans and industry watchers alike will be keeping a close eye on how “Woman’s World” performs in the coming weeks.
Katy Perry’s return to the music scene with “Woman’s World” might not have started with a bang on the charts, but her enduring popularity and proven track record suggest that she still has plenty to offer. As we await the full release of 143 on September 20, there’s every chance that the album as a whole will capture the attention and acclaim that this first single has yet to achieve.
