Chart Check [Hot 100]: Katy Perry’s ‘Woman’s World’ Delivers Lukewarm Debut

It may be a woman’s world, but it doesn’t look like Katy Perry is running it.

Full story below…

After an extended absence from the charts due to her judging duties at ‘American Idol,’ Perry came pouncing back to the music scene (much to the excitement of her #KatyCat fans) with the thunderous ‘Woman’s World‘ alongside a big-budget, Charlotte Rutherford-directed music video on July 11.

And while the initial commercial response to the Dr. Luke-produced jam seemed promising, the feedback scale tipped to mixed once detractors started weighing in on the visual’s “weak attempt at feminism” – a note of particular interest for critics of Luke and his history of legal woes stemming from accusations of being everything but empowering to women.

With the final numbers in, it appears the wave of negative press orbiting ‘World’ – the first single from Katy’s forthcoming album ‘143‘ – has contributed to its lukewarm launch on the charts. For, the song has premiered at #63 on the updated Hot 100. Look below to see the numbers that powered the placement.

Streaming ≈ 6.8 million U.S.-based streams
Radio Airplay ≈ 14.5 million audience impressions
Sales ≈ 11,000 Digital downloads

It’s not all doom and gloom, however.

The figures above are among the best attached to any new song printed on the updated Hot 100 – which this week is ruled by Shaboozey‘s ‘Bar Song (Tipsy)‘ in its second spell in pole position.

‘World’ also serves as one of the highest-charting new hits by a woman this week.

The #63 bow also marks the top Hot 100 position the Pop diva’s reached since planting ‘Daisies‘ at #40 in 2020.
