Now I'm not saying she bought all of them views but I don't believe for a second Flop Appétit got to 1 billion organically 

There are MANY flop songs that have a billion views but having a billion views does not make it a hit

People are watching the video, and if people liked the song, they stream or buy the single.

If 1 billion people saw the Bon Appetit MV, and only 1.050.000 people liked it and bought it, that makes the song a harder flop

Because only 10% of people who saw the video, bought the single

and i fu r still wondering, Bon appetit has sold only 1.050.000 being her lowest selling lead single

Im not saying Katy used bots because she is already a youtube force, but like said earlier:

1 billion views =/= hit

well Bon Appétit wasn't the lead single tho Chained to the rhythm was and by 2017 digital sales were dying so of course it didn't sell that much, still 6 million units for a "flop" single is still really great

YouTube views actually count as streams. I remember Britney Spears' 3 reappearing on the charts after a video on her wardrobe malfunction while performing 3 surfaced on YouTube. YouTube has an audio recognition system that allows for songs, even if unofficially uploaded by fans, to count towards the charts.

Bon Appétit was definitely a huge hit on YouTube/VEVO (just like Britney Spears and Iggy Azealia's Pretty Girls). I mean, if a new indie act pulled such views, their song wouldn't be viewed as a flop. I get your points, Bon Appétit failed to truly impact the charts, but I would not call it an all-around flop.

It was just a VIRAL hit, not big hit. It was viral only because it was katy and marked her decline

The song is **** awful, not surprised that it flopped.  Waste of a good video IMO

Nvm, i found out it was only US sales

Anyways, 6 million for a video viewed by billions is still low

it's a big flop is you use bot to increase your view. 

Sure... . She keeps using bots on Bon Appetit but not on Daisies, Harleys, Smile ... who are fighting for 30M.... Sure

The song was just a late hit. It didn't work on the charts due to lack of patience but then it worked very well.

Okay I'm gonna come right out and say it: bots. It's obvious that Capitol resorted to using underhanded tactics to boost the video's views. And I know some of her fans will be like "why would Capitol spend money on a flop single from 3 years ago???"; well it's obvious that they wanted the video to surpass the billion views mark since it was her most viewed video that hadn't yet reached a billion views before today, and they wanted to add another "accomplishment" to Katy's front-loaded career stats.

 It's the same **** they pulled years ago when they discounted Hot n Cold on iTunes for months just so that it would cross the 5 million units sold mark.

Bon appetit was already the most viewed female video in 2017, lol they wouldnt buy bots, we arent talking of tekashi here lmbo

This is probably my least favorite single from Katy, but she looked so hot in the video.

If you'll read my article thoroughly, I've mentioned that Bon Appétit benefited from the Pizzagate conspiracy theory just like Justin Bieber's Yucky.

Plus, Katy has a consistent streams on YouTube though her channel wasn't into biggest-debut-in-24-hours-thing, that was evident on how Roar still managed to get more than 1 million daily views some times.

First of all, I did my research before I posted this thread so I won't be roasted with all of the "facts" that I included.

It sold 6 million adjusted units as of 2020, accept it or be forever bitter about it.

My apology, i haven't read that post of yours. 

Btw, I agreed that Bon Appétit isn't a big hit but a viral hit. Without the music video it would've ended up like Hey Hey Hey.
