Katy Perry Ties For Most Pop Songs No. 1s Katy Perry's "Roar" blasts 5-1 on Billboard's Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs radio airplay chart.
With the coronation, which dethrones Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell) after 10 weeks on top, Perry matches Rihanna for the most No. 1s – 10 – in the chart's 21-year history. P!nk follows with nine toppers.
At just six weeks, "Roar" marks the fastest flight to the Pop Songs summit since "California Gurls" (featuring Snoop Dogg), the lead single from Perry's last album, 2010's "Teenage Dream," also soared to the top spot in its sixth frame the week of July 3, 2010. ("Roar" makes the largest leap to No. 1 since "Gurls" logged an identical 5-1 jump.) "Roar" previews Perry's new album "Prism," due Oct. 22.
Having now done so twice, Perry is the only act to send a song to No. 1 in as few as six weeks in more than eight years; prior to "Gurls," no song had reached the apex so swiftly since Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" (six weeks, 2005).

New Song: Katy Perry – ‘Dark Horse (Ft Juicy J)’If the response given to the song waiting for you below is anything to go by, Katy Perry’s ‘Prism‘ may just become her most well loved album to date.
We’re talking about ‘Black Horse‘, the brand new jam released by Perry from the LP featuring ‘Bandz‘ Rapper Juicy J.
Check it out below!
Yes!
A little reminiscent of ‘E.T’, ‘Horse’ sees Katy Perry serve up ‘Traditional Katy’ while flirting with a sound that’s undeniably Urban.
Impressive, as she does so without pulling anything away from her winning formula ( see Adult Nursery Rhymes for Dummies) but delivers a cut that will give her a clear cut point of difference on radio and on the charts- teaching the likes of Miley Cyrus just how genre hopping should be done.

Katy Perry – ‘Dark Horse’:
I knew you were You were gonna come to me & here you are But you better choose carefully Cause I… I’m capable of anything Of anything & everything

Weigh In: Katy Perry Comments On Rihanna’s Drug Use / Ties Her #1s Record
It’s pretty clear that ELLE magazine is quite fond of ‘Firework’ wailer Katy Perry.
Last month saw the popstress cover the U.K. version of the mag while this month sees her afront it’s Canadian sister publication showing off an 60′s-inspired look (featuring some of designers Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton, and Mariano Vivanco‘s threads in both issues).
Unlike the U.K. version, the Canadian feature story has been greeted with much more noise as the ‘Roar’ songstress has made headlines for comments made about BFF Rihanna‘s drug use.
Were her comments worth all the fuss that ensued afterward? Read them below and tell us:
Source:
In separate but related news, the BFFs now have something new in common; the most #1s on the Billboard ‘Pop Songs’ charts. According to Billboard:
“Katy Perry’s “Roar” blasts 5-1 on Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs radio airplay chart. With the coronation…Perry matches Rihanna for the most No. 1s – 10 – in the chart’s 21-year history. P!nk follows with nine…”

Katy Perry Dominates iTunes UK / ‘Dark Horse’ Gallops To Top TwentyCamp Britney may be forced to rethink their creative direction before the release of her new LP, but it seems Katy Perry has gotten it right on all fronts...yet again.
The kind of fronts, that have seen her Urban single ‘Dark Horse’ gallop its way to British chart hills, set to secure a Top Twenty debut in tomorrow’s Official Singles Chart!
Less than a week after its arrival, ‘Horse’ finds its way to #13 on iTunes UK, now placed one spot above Lady GaGa‘s US smash hit ‘Applause‘ and 11 spots beneath her #1 single ‘Roar’, kicked off the top spot by Jason Derulo‘s ‘Talk Dirty’.
Meanwhile, iTunes USA welcomes Lorde‘s ‘Royals’ to #1, while Perry’s ‘Horse‘ resides at #4 as ‘Roar’ continues its winning streak in the market, holding court at #2, one month before the October 22nd release of her fourth studio album ‘Prism‘.

Katy Perry Covers Billboard Magazine / Confirms Next Single
Cop a gander at ‘Hot & Cold’ hitmaker Katy Perry heating up the latest issue of Billboard magazine. Before undoubtedly revving up the massive promo machine that will accompany her newest album ‘Prism’ (October 22), the songstress revved up her faithful #Katycats last month for their input on her next single.
With the Juicy J-assisted tune ‘Dark Horse’ quickly walking away with the victory over its ‘Walking On Air’ competitor, fans were sure it would be given the video treatment.
But, despite the song making a handsome top 20 debut on the Hot 100 this week (with virtually no promo), it appears Perry & team have dashed in another direction for the ‘Prism’s follow-up pick.
Tuck in below to see one more snap from the Billboard mag cover, read excerpts from the interview, and find out the singer’s next single will be…New single: ”Unconditionally” Billboard Magazine (excerpts):
On Barbara Walters “shading” her for being late to an interview:
“When I got there, I apologized immediately, but then she said to me, ‘You know, I’ve only ever waited for one other person this long, and you know who that person was? Judy Garland. You know how she turned out, right?’ I was like, ‘Oh, snap! Yes, pregnant dog!’ I think it’s the coolest thing that Barbara Walters shaded me. I just couldn’t tell her as we were sitting down for a mega-interview, ‘Hey, my marriage is falling apart. Give me a break.’”
On Teenage Dream vs. Prism:
“I didn’t want to do Teenage Dream 2.0,” she says. “Teenage Dream was highly conceptual, super-pop art. “PRISM” is more organic, au naturale, vulnerable and honest, but still has the same amount of fun.”
”I wanted to make a song that was like what Mariah Carey would have put on her first record,” Perry says.

Katy Perry Opens Up On Suicidal Thoughts : ‘I Asked Myself If I Should Continue Living’
Katy Perry may be celebrated for her ever upbeat nature, but she has now revealed her divorce from British comedian Russell Brand forced her to contemplate suicide, revealing this during an interview with Billboard.
An honest Katy below…
An excerpt from the piece reads:
“But it’s not always party time on “PRISM.” Self-help and astrological references abound on tracks like “Spiritual” and “Legendary Lovers,” reflecting Perry’s recent immersion in Transcendental Meditation and mindfulness therapy. Elsewhere, Perry pointedly confronts her turbulent recent history. The line “You sent a text/It’s like the wind changed your mind” from “Ghost” references how Brand delivered the news he wanted a divorce.
“By the Grace of God,” meanwhile, begins with Perry lying on the floor of a bathroom, fighting suicidal thoughts. “That song is evident of how tough it really was at a certain point. I asked myself, ‘Do I want to endure? Should I continue living?’” Perry says. “All the songs are real-life moments. I can only write autobiographically. I put all the evidence in the music. I tell my fans if they want to know the real truth about stuff, just listen to the songs.”

Must Hear: Katy Perry – ‘Walking On Air’
Just when we thought we couldn’t love Katy Perry anymore than we already did…she goes and does this.
This, being the release of her ‘Prism’ pulled single ‘Walking On Air‘, which we’re going to be bold enough to call this one of the best singles (from any genre) to drop this year.
At this point, we’d usually explain why this is- but since we’re too busy pre-ordering ‘Prism’ on iTunes, we simply don’t have the time to.
Find out why everyone here at TGJ HQ is enamoured with this jam below!!
