Katy Perry’s 143, her sixth studio album, was released today via Capitol Records. As she approached the project, Katy envisioned a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message. The result is a sexy, fearless, return to form for the multifaceted musician. Jam packed with the empowering, sexy and provocative pop anthems fans have come to love, 143 is an album with a lot of heart – and a lot of BPM. Download / stream HERE.
Tonight, the global pop superstar will celebrate the album’s release by playing a sold-out headline show for over 100,000 fans at Rock in Rio in Brazil – Katy’s first performance at the Rio de Janeiro festival since 2015. Tune in for Katy’s performance LIVE from Rock In Rio, Friday, September 20, at 7:55 PM PT. Watch here: http://katy.to/RockInRioPR
Last week, Katy made an epic return to the MTV stage for the first time since 2017. The five-time VMA winner accepted the 2024 Video Vanguard Award and performed a show-stopping, career-spanning medley of her biggest hits, which included the debut television performances of two singles from 143 – “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE,” with a surprise appearance by Doechii, and “LIFETIMES.” View the medley HERE.
Shortly thereafter, Katy dropped the official video for “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE.” View HERE. Billboard said, “If you’re still wiping the steam off your screen from Katy Perry‘s NSFW debut performance of ‘I’m His, He’s Mine’ with Doechii during her career-spanning medley at this week’s 2024 VMAs, buckle up because the official video is just as provocative.” PEOPLE observed, “Katy Perry left no crumbs in her performance for the ‘I'm His, He's Mine’ music video.” Uproxx marveled, “From daredevil like stunts to full-on PDA, Katy Perry and Doechii hold nothing back.” 143 also includes features by 21 Savage, Kim Petras and JID. See below for track listing.
With a cumulative 115 billion streams alongside worldwide sales of over 70 million adjusted albums and 143 million tracks, Katy is one of the best-selling musical artists of all time. She’s one of only five recording artists in RIAA history to gain entry to the elite 100 Million Certified Songs club. With 143, she launches an exciting new era in her record-breaking pop career.
