I really can't understand why Uncontrolled wasn't successful, I just can't begin with how perfect that song is. It was the perfect choice for a single and they made a perfect video out of it. Uff.
Well, we'll see how Dark Horse is going to do!
PS: thanks for the video links!

Did Unconditionally really not do well on the charts? I've been hearing it quite a bit on the radios (although Roar still gets heavier airplay).

My body is ready for Dark Horse.

It reached #1 on Club Songs (Billboard) and #14 on Top 100 (Billboard).
About the Airplays right now the single isn't even on Top 20...

I think Katy shouldn't have released a ballad as a second single, it should have been one of the upbeat or mid-tempo tunes of PRISM. The album wasn't strong enough to hold a ballad on #1 yet. Dark Horse has great chances to become what Unconditionally couldn't be. It's #6 on iTunes so it needs a video and TV lives asap!

I just dont understand why Uncinditionally did not do so well, it screams hit for me. Dark Horse, on the other hand, does nothing, but it looks like its already slaying in the US. Lets see how it performs in Europe tho

I'm kinda glad it didn't do well
It's an ok song but so generic and cringe-worthy.
Dark horse is way better.
Choose your battles would be a GREAT single maybe..

Am I only the one who thinks Prism has no more hits beyond "Dark Horse"? "Birthday" and "Walking On Air" have potential but nothing compared to her previous album releases.

This is one of those albums that I find sounds better as a whole than as singles.

Pretty much this. The album is really coherent and beautiful altogether; but the songs as singles? Only "Roar" and "Dark Horse" fill that niche.

Most of the songs are radio-friendly... but there was something about the songs from Teenage Dream that was just simply right. I'm not really surprised Unconditionally didn't catch on. They should have released Dark Horse or Walking On Air. If they wanted a slow to mid-tempo song they should have released By The Grace of God. That song is gorgeous and perfect.

I'm looking at the gifs from Unconditionally and they're beautiful.

I think her low tempo ballad never do well. look at Thinking of you only peaked at #29.

for Airplay wise Roar still on top 20 and Dark Horse is on course to reach top 10 soon. yay for Dark Horse.

Dark Horse had to grow on me, but I like it now.
I also think walking on air will do go if they release it.
