So... I felt like doing this...

Katy Perry's records

Most consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Hot 100 (69 weeks)

Only artist to have 4 #1 adult pop songs from one album.

Only artist to have 5 #1s on the Mainstream Top 40 (Pop songs) from one album.

Only female artist have 5 #1s on the Hot 100 from one album.

Only one of two artists to have 5 #1s on the Hot 100 from one album.

Only artist to have 5 songs spend more than one week at #1 on the Hot 100 from one album.

Only artist to have 5 songs with writing credits go to #1 from one album.

Only artist to have 5 songs top the Hot Digital Songs chart from one album.

Artist with the most songs that sold over 4 million in the US.

Artist with the most songs that sold over 3 million in the US.

Artist with the most #1s on the Canadian Hot 100.

Broke the spin record with California Gurls, broke it again with ET, and broke it further with Last Friday Night (in fact 5 of the top 6 highest spins belongs to Katy Perry)

The only artist to have four different songs to be nominated at the VMAs.

Tied Beyonce for most #1s from one album on the Dance Club chart (6)

The first and so for only artist to have five #1s on the Hot 100 this decade.

ET and California Gurls sold over 300,000 digital copies in a week four times, two of only four songs in history to do so. Katy is the only artist to do that with two songs.

Within seven weeks California Gurls sold over two million downloads, which is the second fastest pace to do so in
digital history, fastest for a female artist.


Only artist to have 3 songs go to #1 on the Hot 100 in one calendar year for two consecutive years.

Only artist in digital history to top 300K in weekly sales with four different songs.


Teenage Dream set the record for most added song in a week with 64 new stations and 14.9 million plays


Other milestones:

Firework sold over 500k in one week, making it the 2nd highest weekly sale of a female artist, 4th overall.

Tied 5 ways for the 8th artist with the most #1s in New Zealand. ( she's also the artist that has been out for the shortest time frame on that list)

Tied Lady Gaga as the only artists to have six consecutive #1s on the Mainstream Top 40 (Pop songs) as a lead single.

In a 3-way tie for second place with seven #1's on the Mainstream Top 40 (Pop songs)

Tied with P!nk and Nickelback with the most #1s on the Adult Top 40 (with 5) and she had the shortest time frame of the three.


Hot n Cold entered the German Singles Chart at number 2 due to high digital download sales. This is the highest entry ever of a single based on downloads alone in Germany.

In I Kissed A Girl's 3rd week it jumped to number one, in Australia, still solely off downloads, becoming only the second single to do so.

I Kissed A Girl went to the #1 spot in the UK for 5 weeks (a feat which would not be matched again until Someone Like You by Adele in 2011. Meaning it's still the biggest international)

^It actually spent four weeks at #1 on downloads alone, the longest span for any song from only downloads.

ET went to #1 on the Rhythmic Airplay Chart (R&B), she is only one of three other pop stars to do that.

ET spent 7 weeks at the top of the Hot Digital Songs chart, the 2nd most for a female artist.

Tied 3-ways (with Britney and Eminem) for 2nd place of the artist with the most #1s on the Hot Digital Songs chart, and she did it in a much shorter time frame.

Tied for 2nd place for most cumulative weeks at #1 on the Hot Digital Songs chart. Also the artist with the shortest time frame.

Only one of three artists that have two songs over 5 million sales in the US, 2nd female.

The first four singles from Teenage Dream have been certified at least Gold in Germany. It's the first time the first 4 singles of an album reached (at least) Gold since Backstreet Boys' Backstreet Boys in 1995-1997 . Making Katy the only one this century (so far).

I Kissed A Girl went to the number one spot on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart by three weeks, a first for a solo act with a debut single

Is there anything I missed? ^_^

Oh

IKR? Thats disgusting that they would even think that, so insulting, i see it all the time, it aint even funny

It boils down to them not liking her having 5 #1's off a single album, and even more Top 5 hits.

this is why i love her so much. those imperfections made her what she is right now...a star. and she worked hard for everything that she have accomplished. its not just easy work to get 5 no. 1s. i just can't deal with all the haters saying that shes using payola or shes sucking Dr. Luke's dick to obtain those no. 1s

I wouldn't put payola past Capitol after the whole LFN fiasco, but the "Dr. Luke dicksucker" one is so lame. Repetitive, uncreative, and most of all false.

Many records, one legend

So proud of stan for the Queen

I already edited my post, sorry...

And yes, I totally agree with you...I hate when they say those things about Katy, but in reality she obtained those #1 and all this success because she's FEARLESS and she enjoys doing music...and you can see and feel that in her concerts...she truly loves doing and writing music.

Radio is crazy about her,she doesn't need payola -> example TOTGA,check those updates,like it's 1st single.And btw.LFN was her biggest spin hit on pop radio.

Great question! I think Katy is around 25 million, though I think out of those two albums The Blacked Eyed Peas would be bigger competition, Lady Gaga is probably the least "single-type" seller out of the three.

Just US sales

Teenage Dream (album)
California Gurls - 5,002,000 downloads as of June 2011
Teenage Dream - 3,992,000 million downloads as of February 2011
Firework - 4,904,000 million downloads as of June 2011
E.T. - 4,682,000 million downloads as of June 2011
LFN (T.G.I.F.) - over 2,405,000 digital copies
well well well over 20 million when including every song on album, i think she prob has the record now that i think about it, if not then TOTGA will snatch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still wondering about TOY, it has to be so close to Platinum if not passed it already.

Of course not this era, she is the radio queen. I'm just saying they will go to great lengths to make sure Katy gets the success she deserves.

Check Duran (host of the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show in New York on Z100) tweet. Do I need to say more?
