Katy's album 'One Of The Boys' hits #1 after 2 years
Quote:
Billboard 200: Katy Perry's One Of The Boys jumps from #89 to #79. It hits #1 on the Catalog Albums chart for the first time, with sales of 5,000 copies this week. The album has sold 1,270,000 copies since its release in 2008. The panel that selects the final nominees for the Grammy Awards passed over Perry for Best New Artist of 2008, probably because her first hit, "I Kissed A Girl," had a novelty flavor. They went instead with Adele (who won), Lady Antebellum, Duffy, Jazmine Sullivan and Jonas Brothers. All awards are a snapshot in time, and it has been nearly two years since this field was selected, but I suspect if the panel had it to do over again, Ms. Perry would go in and JoBros would fall out.

LOL at the Grammys stupidity. And I bet they would do it all over again.
Of course they would, the Grammys are such ****, and only care about popularity now...they freaking gave 5 nominations to one of the worst reviewed albums of the past decade .
They passed up a lot of great artists for Best New Artist.
Madonna, for example, was passed up for Cyndi Lauper (I believe), who ultimately won the award. Whose name is all over "best of" and "best selling" lists? It's what you go on to do in your career that makes it all significant.

SHE needs to go back to the studio and record a new album already cause I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS CHICK. i luv ONE OF THOSE BOYS, I only liked the singles at first, but after listening to da whole album several times I LUV probably 8 or 9 songs. Teenage Dream on the other hands is even more EPIC. i luv 12/12 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
