It finally happened. Katy Perry has matched Michael Jackson’s longstanding record of 5 #1 songs from a single album as her latest release, ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’, climbs to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
‘Friday’ catapults to the top of the tally thanks to the assistance of Missy Elliott’s remix of the track. Perry is now the first woman and only the second artist in history to achieve 5 #1 singles from one album, tying the record set by Michael Jackson in 1988 with his ‘Bad’ project.
The singer has also matched Mariah Carey for having 5 consecutive #1 singles on the Hot 100, placing her in 2nd place amongst all artists behind only Whitney Houston who notched 7 chart-toppers from 1985 to 1988.
Meanwhile, on the Billboard 200, The Throne’s ‘Watch The Throne’ has debuted at #1 with 436k copies sold, bumping Adele’s ’21′ from the top spot. See the leading Urban/Pop releases from the top 10 of both Billboard 200 and the Hot 100 below:
