does anyone think its a flop? i do. i think it'll have a great chance to be top 10 but top 5? okay shot but no shot for no.1 or breaking mj's record of no.1's and she tied it with last friday night tgif. i think the song maybe a waking up in vegas type of hit but i dont like this song or the one that got away. i thought e.t. was gonna flop becaucse that song wasn't interesting but when kayne remixed it that's what made the song successful because without kayne it would've flopped but still horrible.

its climbing the billboard charts, #17 last week and i am sure it would have gained a little this week with the release of the video. maybe, it wont get to #1 and a top 10 placing is more realistic to be honest. single wise this project has been pretty successful.

ET was an epic track. His appearance just got the Urban audience to attract themselves to the song. ET wouldn't have floppe'd without him. Whether it would of made number 1, well i don't know then.

I loved ET and Last Friday Night was ok. Maybe this one is flopping because most people have got the album by now?

The Katy Perry solo version of E.T. got to #2 on US iTunes, and that was AFTER the Kanye West version as released. So I'm pretty sure it would've been a massive #1 anyway.

It's not boring at all. It's one of the most anthemic chart hits of 2011 imo. The chorus. Just WOW!

I think it's number 10 status shows that it's not a flop. I imagine it will climb a couple more places in the coming weeks.

I don't think it'll go #1. It will reach top 5 no doubt though. Considering the album has been released for more than a year and its the 6th single, its position is really impressive in my opinion.

Not a fan of Katy's new song. I've listened to it twice and it's the most forgettable melody that Katy Perry has released IMO.

Cannot say i am a Katy fan....my brother has her albums and loves her so i listen.

But that song One That got Away....its pretty heartfelt and the video is very powerful has to be said....in fact her last three songs i have liked loads! T.g.i.f i really liked and ET is actually a quality Pop Song.

Whether it has flopped doesnt matter....i like it

took a page out of gaga's book, where she discounted the one that got away from $1.29 to $0.69. that's right that's in the u.s. gaga had her album up for 99 cents when born this way was released.

is that from this week or has it been that price all along? i know she did it with the other singles when she was towards the top of the hot 100.

Apart from Firework, I've never really liked any of KP's singles but this is totally off kilter with her usual stuff and first caught my attention when she performed it on X Factor. Now I'd say it's my favourite single of this year. Absolutely love it and caught the video on one of the music channels at the weekend and that just added to it's appeal. In answer to the OP, no I don't think it's a flop, it's the sixth single from an album and it's brought her to the attention of a new audience. That means more than hitting number 1 with a track that doesn't register beyond her core fanbase.

well, i don't know for sure. some people on the internet claimed she discounted her single to get to #1. she still has shifted over 20 million singles off this album and i couldn't help but notice she has finally been awarded 2 x platinum in the us for the album!

TBH she's at 9 already so we shall see (thats the US) but in all honesty sixth single from a big selling album it has a long way to go people would have already bought the album so simply would not bother.
