Under SINGLES, it lists "If We Ever Meet Again," however, that should be removed from SINGLES and added to the AS FEATURED ARTIST section because the official track listing says "featuring Katy Perry" .

Additionally, I think there would be no harm in clarifying that Hummingbird Heartbeat was an "Australia-only" single. Can't this be added in the title cell? When looking at the table, it is misleading without the clarification.

Everyday Is A Holiday shouldn't even be mentioned on this page and removed from PROMOTIONAL SINGLES. It was never released as any kind of music format. It was never available for purchase. There was never a lyric video or music video for it. It was only used for H&M commercial purposes uploaded on H&M's media channels. It did not promote anything Katy Perry released. Katy didn't even have an H&M clothing line to promote. She was simply the face of their holiday campaign.

Lastly, for accuracy purposes, Hey Hey Hey shouldn't be listed as a SINGLE and should be moved down to OTHER CHARTED SONGS. Just because Italian radio began playing it, doesn't mean it was actually sent to radios. It peaked at number five on the NZ Heatseekers Singles Chart. Until further clarification, it should be moved, just like how Lady Gaga's John Wayne is listed under OTHER CHARTED SONGS. Both were "released" as gifts to fans. --149.69.236.22 (talk) 02:16, 24 January 2018 (UTC) 149.69.236.22 (talk) 02:16, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The single reference offered is the iTunes listing for one of the requested changes. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:12, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

As far as Everyday Is a Holiday, Billboard and Idolator reference it as only a song to accompany H&M's promotional purposes. It does not promote a Katy Perry release.

"Katy Perry is spreading holiday cheer with a new Christmas song called "Every Day Is a Holiday" for H&M's new #HappyAndMerry campaign." - Billboard . The word "single" is never used.

"The slightly cheesy but fun commercial is all set to the singer’s new tune, 'Everyday Is A Holiday.'" - Idolator . Its referred to as H&M's commercial tune. Not a promotional single that promotes Katy's other works.

If We Ever Meet Again is an obvious change. Katy was never the lead artist on it. The source already provided is proof enough.

Good day. Yesterday, May 12, 2018, I did major revisions and some updates about this article. In particular, I edited the sales and some stuffs related to it. I know some references are really poor and I acknowledge the effort of some people who pointed out those references. However, there are still some of my revisions that I truly believe, are reliable enough, and that should be included here. I do not understand why some here just swiped out all of my edits without even reading all of them. To make it clear, the following are the revisions and updates that should be retained: Worldwide sales of Prism - According to QQ Music, which is a rrliable source, the album has sold more than 12.5 million copies worldwide Please point out where from WP:RSN it says QQ Music is a reliable source. —IB [ Poke ] 06:48, 13 May 2018 (UTC) Check your edit. You even used QQ Music as reference for "Katy Perry has sold 40 million albums..." and now you are questioning if it's reliable or not "Birthday" worldwide sales Already included. —IB [ Poke ] 06:48, 13 May 2018 (UTC) Other charted songs, "Pearl" and "Hummgbird Heartbeat" chart positions in South Korea South Korea charts are not part of this discography. —IB [ Poke ] 06:48, 13 May 2018 (UTC) My fault. Please restore my edit for Peacock, Pearl and Who Am I Living For? in the other charted songs section. Hummingbird Heartbeat is not included. Check the reference for the chart positions of those songs in South Korea. I added the details of "Hey Hey Hey" and "Hummingbird Heartbeat" stating that these were released as exclusive singles in particular countries Please take note of this. It should be clarified that Hummingbird Heartbeat was released as Australian-only single, Hey Hey Hey as an exclusive single in Italy, and Save as Draft as adult contemporary radio single. The references are included. Please check what I did for these three singles. Katy Perry has sold 40 million albums and 125 million singles. This is true based on the references I used The references I used were Glamor magazine (also used in her Katy Perry article) and Pure Charts (reliable). Pleasr do not remove these two sources. Worldwide sales of "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls" according to IFPI Already included. —IB [ Poke ] 06:48, 13 May 2018 (UTC) You can check every detail of my latest revision and tell me what should be removed and retained. Please let me know before reverting everything. It is very casual to always ask first. Thank you so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhriege (talk • contribs) 06:45, 13 May 2018 (UTC) Everything has been responded and the things which aren't included are given the reasons as to why. —IB [ Poke ] 06:48, 13 May 2018 (UTC) Please check everything. Do not just remove them in one swipe.

This page does not reflect the actuality of Katy's discography -- Semi-protected edit request on 11 February 2018

Under SINGLES, it lists "If We Ever Meet Again," however, that should be removed from SINGLES and added to the AS FEATURED ARTIST section because the official track listing says "featuring Katy Perry."

Additionally, I think there would be no harm in clarifying that Hummingbird Heartbeat was an "Australia-only" single. Can't this be added in the title cell? When looking at the table, it is misleading without the clarification. It just looks like a blank cell. Hummingbird Heartbeat peaked at #34 on the Australian Hot 100 Airplay charts.

Lastly, for accuracy purposes, Hey Hey Hey shouldn't be listed as a SINGLE and should be moved down to OTHER CHARTED SONGS. Just because Italian radio began playing it, doesn't mean it was actually sent to radios. It peaked at number five on the New Zealand Heatseekers Singles Chart. Until further clarification, it should be moved, just like how Lady Gaga's John Wayne and Joanne are listed under OTHER CHARTED SONGS.

Just like Hey Hey Hey, John Wayne and Joanne both had music videos. Why is Hey Hey Hey listed as an official single for Katy but John Wayne is listed as "other charted songs?" To make my argument stronger, John Wayne even charted in more countries than Hey Hey Hey! It charted in the UK at 180 number 34 in Hungary . Similarly, Joanne (track) is listed as a promotional single but was released to Italian radio just like Hey Hey Hey.

In summary, It would be great if If We Ever Meet Again is moved down to "as featured artist," Hummingbird Heartbeat is clarified as an Australia-only single, Everyday is a Holiday is removed entirely, and Hey Hey Hey is moved to "other charted songs."

Don't let your bias show. John Wayne has a music video and charted in other counties but is labeled as "other charted songs" but Hey Hey Hey is listed as an official single? It doesn't make sense. Joanne has a music video, was released to Italian radios , and charted in France , Greece , Scottland , and the UK but is only listed as a promotional single when Hey Hey Hey is listed as an official single despite not even officially charting anywhere?

The first paragraph needs reworking. As of 8/19/19, it lists that KP has a record 6 5-million selling singles in the US (now she has 10), followed by a record 3 6-million selling singles (now she has 9), followed by 3 Diamond Certifications - first artist (now Eminem also has 3). Any of these records are subject to change which will make this section unmanageable. I propose changing to the following and starting with the most significant. Perry was the first artist to receive Diamond Certifications (selling over 10 million) for 3 singles ("Firework", "Roar", and "Dark Horse") in 2017 which remains a record in August 2019. Perry became the first artist to have 6 singles (the 3 Diamond singles, "Hot N Cold", "California Gurls" & "E.T." in Aug 2019.

Harleys in Hawaii

@SNUGGUMS: It was extremely unnecessary to redirect the article. Of course there isn't "real depth" on the song yet, it hasn't been released. You said to wait to create the article when the song is coming out soon, which is literally right now. I mean, a track title is leaked on iTunes and that's enough to create a Taylor Swift song article, but this full announcement with release date and cover art isn't enough? Ridiculous. It's just going to be restored in like a day anyway. And now there's already a Billboard and iHeartRadio article about the song, but God forbid you wait two seconds to redirect it! Billiekhalidfan (talk) 17:00, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

On the contrary, I said to create once it IS released. Please read WP:Notability (music)#Songs (WP:NSONGS), especially if you haven't already. Release announcements alone don't count because they're just brief mentions AND from a primary source. Commentary from artist, songwriters, labels, producers, etc. also isn't enough for an article as that's just self-promotion. Even non-affiliated sources that do mention it are just discussing the announcement and don't offer depth on the song itself, which won't be available beforehand when they can't listen to it for full lyrics or genres. Other songs shouldn't have had articles before release when their parent album isn't out (when part of an album), but you can't use WP:OTHERSTUFF as a reason to keep premature articles. That's just a cheap excuse, same with "It's just going to be restored in like a day anyway". People need to stop jumping the gun with creating articles too soon. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:38, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Editors can create song articles whenever they like. It does not have to be on a timeframe you agree with. If I can find a few more sources on the song, I'll be restoring the article later on and if you don't agree, SNUGGUMS, any admin will tell you to not keep redirecting an article, but take it to AfD. (And good luck with that, considering it will be notable if not already very soon.) It's Katy Perry, it's not like singles that are getting a full commercial push by her are not going to be notable. Frankly your arguments are cheap at this point, considering you trot the exact same ones out every time someone creates a song related to an artist you like. There is more on this song out there, considering it first made the news months ago when she was spotted making the video. It's not like the only things that are out there on it are announcements. Besides, keeping the article where it is also a) discourages disruptive editors and newbies from creating the article in some other stupidly titled location that then creates a move task for an admin or someone with page mover permissions to do; and b) allows users who might be more informed on a topic or able to locate sources others can't find to help expand it.

Peacock

According to song's page, it's a promotional singel. Since I cannot edit this article, can somebody move "Peacock" from "Other charted songs" table to "Promotional singles" table? infsai (dyskusja) 22:04, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Adding the correct sales from Witness and onward?

The sales from Chained To The Rhythm and on are not accurate or they are not added. For example, Chained To The Rhythm sold 2 million copies in the United States alone, yet it says 700,000 worldwide. Never Really Over does not have any sales listed even though it has sold 500,000 copies in the United States, which is very noteworthy. The certifications listed for almost every song on the separate Wikipedia page for that specific song list the sales for said song, and thus they should be added to the discography. The sales numbers are available, yet no one has updated them. Thanks. MattCC17 (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Also, "Who You Love" has been certified Gold by RIAA. This certification also needs to be added.
