Katy Perry’s rollout for her upcoming album, “143,” has attracted several controversies and has seen the release of two singles that have performed poorly on the charts.

Katy Perry's new album, 143, dropped on Friday. "I don't know about you but 143, for me, is a message from my angels. It means 'I love you,' in some digital language," the 39-year-old music icon had previously said on social media.

Following a breathless medley of hits at the MTV Video Music Awards last week, Katy Perry clutched her gold-plated Moon Person to accept the Video Vanguard trophy. “There are so many things that have to align to have a long and successful career as an artist.

With her seventh studio album 143, out today, Katy Perry recently told fans she “set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album.”
