it'll happen eventually, but probably not anytime soon.

The record has nothing to do with POM or Wide Awake, or TOTGA for that matter. From the week California Gurls debuted at #2 in early summer 2010 to the week Last Friday Night fell from #10 in late summer 2011, she was in the top ten consistently. Some weeks overlapped, but as someone already stated, Teenage Dream fell out the top ten just as Firework entered at #10...it was so close.

California Gurls (17 weeks)-->Teenage Dream (15 weeks)-->Firework (18 weeks)-->E.T. (20 weeks)-->Last Friday Night (12 weeks)

And tbqh, I don't think this record will be broken for a really REALLY long time, if at all. 69 weeks is insane.

You must not have followed this recent era of her's

Nobody does singles like Katy.

Hopefully

Probably.

Well, isn't she at around 25 weeks right now? If Good Time can manage to stay in the Top 10 until This Kiss enters, it's possible, especially now that Good Time is moving up on iTunes again, and getting amazing radio updates (as long is it didn't slide out of the Top 10 for the Chart this week)

Talk That Talk was crappy, but all you need is another Loud or 2.

She's only 24, she has enough time.

I don't think anyone is able to, but Rihanna has the best chance, she's the second best with singles. I don't even think she was trying with the TTT era tbh

If she did, TTT and BC would've easily gone Top 10, considering they gone Top 40 with barely any promotion and no music video.

It's possible, yes, but as they say, don't count your chickens before they hatch!

But if "This Kiss" makes it before "Good Time" falls she has an alright chance, with all the other potential smash singles on the album.

As of this time No. Maybe it will take awhile, probably more than a decade from now.

If only Interscope actually promoted This Kiss

I know, I mean please get the defibrillator out and revive it soon. I think it has a great chance to smash once CMM drops a little more, and I could see Carly passing 40 weeks, if she gets lucky, with it and "Good Time".

The funny thing is this is most likely.

There's one act we can't count out: Maroon 5.

I don't know if they'll pull it off this era, but it's not impossible. They haven't left the Top 10 since Payphone debuted on the charts back in May, and One More Night looks like it's going to smash even harder. Those two songs alone could get Maroon 5 a good 40 consecutive weeks in the Top 10. If they follow it up with a well- timed successful third single...
