@billboard explain right now why Part of Me can't count as the 6th number-one song from Teenage Dream but the Encore songs count as top 10s for The Life of a Showgirl 💀 it's time to admit Katy broke MJ record.
In 2012, one week after “Part Of Me” was released, @billboard changed its rules, preventing Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” from scoring 6 #1s.
In 2026, Billboard claims “The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore” became the album with the most Top 5 songs, despite being a deluxe.
I don't get why Billboard doesn't consider Teenage Dream to have 6 #1 hits. Yes one of them is from a re-issue, but take Showgirl
They counted 4 songs from the re-issue as Top 10 hits from the album (they themselves called it a re-issue). Why not Part of Me for Katy?
