As "The One That Got Away" roars 9-4, the album becomes just the third in the chart's history to produce a six-pack of top five smashes.
Not content with being honored as the Billboard Hot 100 Artist of the Year, Katy Perry continues to make her mark on the survey.
As “The One That Got Away” bounds 9-4, her “Teenage Dream” album becomes just the third in the Hot 100’s 53-year history to generate at least six top five smashes.
The song joins the set’s first five singles, all of which reached No. 1: “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg; the title cut, “Firework”; “E.T.,” featuring Kanye West; and, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”
