Katy Perry Ties With MJ
Katy Perry ties with the late Michael Jackson for being an artist to have 5 number one single in one album. Her “Last Friday Night (TGIF)” reached the top spot which became her fifth single to reach number one in Billboard’s Hot 100.
The single jumped to the first spot from being the second last week.
The song is on its 12th week on the chart and 9th week for being in Top 10.
The song was written by Perry, Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Bonnie McKee and was produced by Dr. Luke and Max Martin.
As of August 17, 2011, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” has sold over 2,037,000 copies in the US.
This is a record breaking achievement for Katy Perry, making her the first female artist to send five singles to number one in the 2010s and became the first woman in the 53-year history of Billboard to take five singles from the same album to number one on the Hot 10. Congratulations Katy Perry!!
