When Katy Perry first came on the scene, some dismissed
her as a one-hit wonder.
Three years later, she's proven she's a multi-hit wonder,
becoming the first woman to score five No. 1 songs from one
album on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Her "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" set the precedent: It's
the latest No. 1 from her platinum album "Teenage Dream."
Only Michael Jackson had five No. 1s from one album before
Perry, from "Bad."
But Jackson spent a total of seven weeks at the top with his
"Bad" songs; Perry has been at the top perch now for a
cumulative 18 weeks.
Perry's first major hit was the song "I Kissed a Girl" in
2008.
