Katy Perry's push for an unprecedented sixth Hot 100 No. 1 from her album "Teenage Dream" now faces a hurdle, as "The One That Got Away" falls to No. 6 after two weeks at a No. 3 highpoint. The song rises 4-3 on Radio Songs (110 million, up 12%) but tumbles 3-9 on Digital Songs (154,000, down 50%). "Dream" and Michael Jackson's "Bad" (1987-88) remain the only albums to yield five Hot 100 No. 1s each in the chart's 53-year history.
This was a very impressive era. More than enough if you ask me.
I agree. Let the song just run its course now. Whether it free falls down the Hot 100 or keeps the top 10 warm for a while, It's already overachieved and outperformed well beyond its expectations. But hey, Capitol probably doesn't see it that way
