Nah, I don't think they even planned to release LFN when Katy gave that interview. ET hitting #1 probably spurred them onto matching the record, and LFN was the obvious choice at that point.

Debatable...but okay then...if that's true then after every song hit #1 they decided to push for another song

If LFN didn't go #1 they would definitely not have released TOTGA

EDIT:
Scratch what I just said because that katy statement says march on it and e.t was already fighting it out with BTW for that #1 spot so your statement is wrong

They knew this before they even had all the #1's. Good.

No 6th #1?

It amazes me how much a record most of you didn't even know about before Katy tied it matters to you all.

[Remixed]

Aw that's a shame.

[Stitches.]

oh no

[Allie]

Oh well, they will just have to share the title.

Do Katy and her label know this?

Right?

I'm sure they do now. A re-release was planned from the start.

LMAO. I would be willing to put MONEY on Capitol/Katy not being aware of this when they decided to re-release it. There is absolutely NO reason to re-release Teenage Dream, a grammy nominated album that spawned 5 #1's. NONE. This was purely an attempt to break Michael's record and you will never convince me otherwise after the embarrassingly desparate attempt with TOTGA to reach #1. The discounting, the remix, the acoustic, etc etc etc. Just plain sad. The only thing that will make me happier than this right now is if Capitol decides to rename or pull the re-release altogether and make it completely obviously that this was their intention all along.

And for the record, I like Katy a lot as a person and enjoy her music. I just am disgusted with the desparate attempts for #1's. This is not how the music industry should be.

I'm here for a NEW Katy album altogether and wish her all the success in the world with it.

Most honest post in this thread

Some months after TD got released,Namaste Studios(where the song was recorded)released memo in 2010 where they claimed "Prince-inspired" 'Dressin' Up will be released as a single in 2011 to promote the re-release of TD.
Rihanna also mentioned re-release prior LOUD release.
Then Tricky said for MTV news in October 2010 that Katy's working on secret project.

This re-release was planned ever since album got released so I don't know why are many of you trolling and acting like this was only for 'record breaking' purpose.It just makes y'all look bitter.

Yup.

Katy's haters are so stupid, like, you've been shown the receipts saying that a TD re-release has been planned for a long time, long before they knew they were going to tie the MJ record... she's obviously not just trying to rerelease it because she wants to beat the record, and now with this article, hopefully it'll shut everybody up about it now that we know she for sure won't. She did an amazing thing tying MJ's record, she should be respected for that. Now let her rerelease this album and continue to dominate in peace, please.

i can honestly say that i always knew this record because i'm a huge michael fan and that had always stuck out for me

janet jackson in my eyes has the more impressive because RN has 4 #1's, 2 #2 and that would have been six and on top of that, she had a song peak at #5 in between it all

Good for yo. But majority of the GP and members here I can guarantee you had no idea until Katy tied it.
