"Katy Perry Notches Record Fifth No. 1 From 'Teenage Dream' On Pop Songs"

Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" becomes the first album in the almost 19-year history of Billboard's Pop Songs chart to generate five No. 1s, as "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" ascends 2-1. The song follows "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, the title cut, "Firework" and "E.T.," featuring Kanye West, to the top of the Nielsen BDS-based mainstream top 40 radio airplay ranking.

"Dream" pushes past two albums that each yielded four Pop Songs leaders: Justin Timberlake's "FutureSex/LoveSounds" (2006-07) and Lady Gaga's "The Fame" (2009).

Piggybacking one record on top of another, "Friday" sets the mark for most weekly plays in the chart's history (12,468; or, an average of 92 plays per station among the 136 Pop Songs reporters [the chart's entire reporter panel] playing the song). The previous record-holder? Perry's own "E.T." (12,361 the week of May 21, 2011). Further evidence of the unprecedented domination that "Dream" has demonstrated at pop radio? The five singles from the album account for five of the top six titles with the chart's highest-ever weekly spin totals:

Plays, Title, Artist, Chart Date
12,468, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," Katy Perry, Aug. 13, 2011
12,361, "E.T.," Katy Perry featuring Kanye West, May 21, 2011
12,159, "California Gurls," Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg, July 17, 2010
12,107, "Give Me Everything," Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer, July 23, 2011
11,857, "Firework," Katy Perry, Jan. 22, 2011
11,841, "Teenage Dream," Katy Perry, Oct, 16, 2010

I was actually waiting for that record to be set by this female artist. If she tops the Billboard Hot 100 she'll become the first female solo artist in chart history to generate five #1 hits from one single album.

[bestmusicexpert]

According to Billboard, its still at #2 this week. LMFAO is at #1.

So not yet, but I'm pulling for her as well.

Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) finally reached to the No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (for August 27, 2010).

So, Katy becomes the first woman and the second artist overall following Michael Jackson, in the 53-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 to send five songs from an album to No. 1.

That's right,Katy Perry is tied with the late King Of Pop for the most #1 singles off one album.

Janet Jackson has achieved the same record with her Rhythm Nation 1814 album on the Radio & Records Top 40/CHR Chart as Miss You Much, Escapade, Come Back To Me, Black Cat, and Love Will Never Do (Without You) reached the No.1. However, she could not do it on the Billboard Hot 100 since Come Back To Me peaked at #2.

Ryan mentioned in this week's show that, in the history of American Top 40, Katy Perry is the third artist who produced five #1s from one album. Two predecessors are Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson.

[upland1425]

The sixth single from Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, 'The One That Got Away' leaps from # 15 to # 10 (Billboard Hot 100, December 3, 2011), which makes Teenage Dream the seventh album in the 53 year history of Billboard Hot 100 to generate 6 top 10 hits.

I dont think this single is as good or catchy and I don't think she'll make it at least not on Billboard, which is the one that counts IMHO.

[OldSchoolAT40Fan]

MJ's Bad album had its first 5 singles make it to #1. The 6th single, Another Part Of Me, was a rare non-top ten hit on the Hot 100 - it peaked at #11 during the first weeks of Shadoe's era of AT40. Smooth Criminal did hit the top 10, though it didn't enter the top 5.

While I am not a fan of Katy Perry, I am eager to find out if she will overshadow Michael Jackson for the most #1's from a single album? With a five-notch jump to #10, I am cautiously optimistic that she'll barely make it to #1 and make history.

Janet Jackson, if referring to AT40, doesn't count. That's only because AT40 back then depended on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. AT40 no longer uses Billboard magazine as their source, so that may be why they go by what information is in the magazine that AT40 currently uses.

Maybe that's a sign that Katy Perry's popularity may have already past its peak now.

[bestmusicexpert]

No, its a sign that since the first single came out in May 2010 and its a year and a half later, people are sick of the album by now. She'll come out with a new album and have a few more #1's from that.

I am impressed, after a novelty style song in I Kissed A Girl. I was surprised that Hot N Cold became a hit. Then she disappeared for about a year. I knew California Gurls was a hit the moment I heard it. Teenage Dream as well. She's here for a while. She is a bit more in the substance department than pop tarts like Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Even more so than Tiffany & Debbie. The 80's versions of Christina and Britney.

Wasn't the first time a song from Sesame Street became a hit. I was also surprised that Rubber Duckie by Ernie made the top 40 in 1970 (#16, to be exact, and peaked higher than Kermit The Frog's The Rainbow Connection).

[bestmusicexpert]

That wasn't originally a Sesame Street song, it was just performed on there.

The first one IIRC, in cover version form was Sing which hit for The Carpenters.

Ryan Seacrest refers to, in his AT40 shows, various records of Casey's Top 40 (or Radio & Records) instead of Shadoe's AT40 (or Billboard), maybe respecting Casey Kasem.

Katy Perry's The One That Got Away becomes the record-extending sixth No. 1 from her album "Teenage Dream" on the Billboard Pop Songs (Mainstream Top 40 Airplay) chart as of February 4, 2012 as well as Mediabase Top 40 airplay chart as of January 29, 2012.

The Song also becomes the No.1 on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart (fifth #1 from the album) and the Mediabase Hot AC airplay chart for the same week.
