Congrats my Girl Katy for her FIFTH #1 SINGLE!! on POP
full story:
It took her a bit longer than expected, but Katy Perry's persistence and the inescapable, saxophone-bleating 1980s vibe of "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" were just too much for music fans to resist.
Perry, who is nominated for a leading nine Moonmen at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards, finally snagged the record as the first album from the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart to have five #1 singles. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Perry's Teenage Dream album is the first in the nearly 19-year history of the chart to achieve the feat, thanks to "Friday Night" bumping up one spot to #1 this week.
