yeah, she tweeted about how unexpected it was.

well deserved!

too bad unconditionally didnt have that magic.

yeah... she should've released it later, it wasn't time for a ballad, it would've charted better if it was released near Valentine's Day ^^

by the way I just read that PRISM is Katy's fastest-selling album so far!! *--* Dark Horse needs some TV promo right now!!

I still can't wrap my head around Unconditionally flop... It had everything. Imo even the release timing was great. Such a shame.

Supposedy this is to be the single cover right?

Supposedly, it's brener's avatar.

I swear Unconditionally did way better. It was in TV commercials and the radio played it quite often. Oh well. I'm glad Dark Horse is gaining recognition. Love that song so much. The bass kills me. I just wish the ending of the song wasn't so awful. It just, stops lol annoying.

I really love the cover. I'm excited for the music video.

yeah... this is the right cover ^ and I love it, I wanna print it on a tee *--* I think the video will feature loads of special effects, something witch-ish maybe

Omg, the cover is SO PERFECT.

Her music isn't my thing, but that cover is AWESOME.

i know when i first heard the song I was like, blah. But it really got the best of me... much like a dark horse.
lol

'Dark Horse' airplay has increased this week, it might be entering top 3-5 on Billboard Hot 100 next week *--*

#1 pretty much guaranteed on her hand. the lyric video and MV has yet to be released and she already peak at #6. wooho

I want news about the video >_<

I guess thats good, for a non japanese album!

I'm also ticked off that unconditionally underperformed, I blame the timing, maybe it was too soon for a katy ballad. I hope this doesn't discourage her from releasing more ballads in the future, I heard some katycats saying that she wasn't too happy about Dark Horse becoming a single...

Of course it was too soon, ballads are made to close albums, not to open campaigns (usaully). Thankfully we had that epic performance at EMAs.

And yeah, sales are pretty solid for a non-japanese, but usually foreign artists have chart-life longer than japanese artists, mostly due to the way they release stuff (digital lead singles -> physical album -> digital promo singles). The only thing people can buy is the album ^^

I understand that Katy would be pissed about DH seeing that unconditionally is her favourite song.
But she has to LET IT GO and give people what THEY want, not what she wants.
