Following billboard’s new guidelines change, Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection” is now the album with the most No #1 songs in history.
The album had previously been tied with Michael Jackson’s iconic “BAD” album but has now surpassed, Congratulations to Katy Perry for this monumental achievement.
15 years ago today, Katy Perry became the first female artist, and only the second overall, to achieve five #1 Hot 100 hits from a single album after “Last Friday Night” topped the chart.
No other artist has done it since.
I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.

“Pop queen burns away an old version of herself - Musically, the track relies on a relentless, driving pop-rock tempo anchored by an amazingly catchy, anthemic bridge – something we’ve grown used to from the Scorpio queen. In a way, this is ‘Hot ’n Cold’ older sister, more mature, more nonchalant and definitely angrier. “I’m gonna get what I deserve, I’m sorry I know that it hurts. Finally I put myself first and watch it burn,” Perry belts out, delivering a vocal punch that will undoubtedly have festival crowds screaming along at the top of their lungs next week.” - Clash Magazine
