Katy Perry in 2008


Dance-pop had been on the rise since 2007.

She's the queen of pop, of course. She's not afraid to do what others are afraid to do

Queen of trend-setting

Get them

In the meantime, Beyoncé also re-released her album in the same manner as The Fame Monster (re-release with EP + separate EP)

Gaga is one of the most influential artists of our generation.

And that took her career very far, didn't it?

Hold it Against Me did it before BTW. I remember cause I unfortunately had to hear that at top of every hour at an office I worked at.

HIAM didn't have a radio deal (it's first week AI was big but not as big as those songs with actual radio deals ie Born this Way, You Da One, Roar, etc). She did use one for Work Bitch tho

I remember BTW's first week AI was such a huge deal back then before radio deals were common

She's the biggest pop star on earth, the Queen of pop music, a legend, an icon.

Stay pressed, haters

Born This Way was bigger worldwide than Firework.

Stan for Scheiße.

It didn't have a "radio deal," but Z100 and KTU were playing it at the top of every hour.
