Adele may be dominating the album charts but no other artist can compete with Katy Perry’s singles. The singer has now scored a record-breaking 5th #1 track from a single album on the Billboard Pop Songs chart.
Perry’s ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’ is now the 5th release from her ‘Teenage Dream’ LP to reach the summit of the tally, making her the only artist in its 19-year history to accomplish that feat. In fact, she has shattered the previous 4-song record previously held by Justin Timberlake and Lady GaGa.
Moreover, ‘Last Friday’ is Perry’s 7th #1 single on the lineup, tying her GaGa and Pink as the artists with the 2nd most Pop Songs chart-toppers. She even tied the former’s record for the most consecutive #1 songs on the tally with 6.
If all of these accomplishments weren’t impressive enough, ‘Last Friday’ is almostĀ guaranteedĀ to claim the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. This will make Perry the 1st female artist in the history of the lineup to score 5 #1 singles from a single album and only the 2nd act to accomplish this stunt after Michael Jackson accomplished it with ‘Bad’. Amazing!

im not even gonna front. i love katys music so kudos to her. but im still BLASTNG “4″ over her album NEDAY
That Perry Reign just won’t let up! Props to da Woman! She got Dem hits!!!
Im pretty sure Party Rock Anthem will be #1 on the Hot 100
Yeah a singles artist isn’t that impressive to me she hasn’t gone double platinum yet and the album has been out forever
I’m pretty sure party rock anthem is still #1 on iTunes Katy actually dropped to #3
This is FUCKING RIDICULOUS and a damn outrage. Technology has totally fucked music for good. Are you kidding me? I like some of her songs eg E.T. which deserved the #1 but the fuckery that is Last Friday Night does not deserve a number 1 spot on Billboard to make it her 5th number 1 from single album? tying with MJ, are you kidding me? Where is the hype surrounding this girl? Where is it? Music is fucked!
Katy is a catchy artist and ppl tend to graviate to catchy music, I like her singles but she doesnt make me rush out to buy the album! In fact NO female artist makes me want to buy their album, they seem all the same! Except adele, regardless congrats on the accomplishment
i don’t give a fuck how those less talented singers like katy perry and rihanna breaking records on billboard with #1s. it’s ridiculous. rihanna is coming for mariah’s 18 #1s records and this bitch katy is tied with michael? seriously, you bitches? i love some of their catchy songs, but it’s such a dishonor to be on par success wise with all those legends on billboard. not to mention their mediocre talent and music skills at their best. smh
she didn’t TIE /BREAK MICHAEL JACKSON’s record…this chart was created in the 2000′s…MICHAEL JACKSON HAD 5 #1 ON THE HOT 100….TOTALLY DIFFERENT- KATY AIN’T SPECIAL
So why isn’t her cd selling in droves. should be 3xp by now. Digital singles has made it much easier for artists to get #1 that’s for sure.
She continues slay. Well deserved too.
She is doing her thing! Hopefully this success continues into her next era!!
