Katy Perry could set the Billboard Hot 100’s 53-year history:
The first five singles from the album – “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg; the title cut; “Firework”; “E.T.,” featuring Kanye West; and, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” – all reached the Hot 100’s summit, making Perry the first woman to notch five No. 1s on the chart from one album.
Michael Jackson is the only other artist to have accomplished the feat, having scored five leaders from “Bad” in 1987-88. (The sixth single from “Bad,” “Another Part of Me,” peaked at No. 11. Seventh and final single “Smooth Criminal” reached No. 7).
