Katy Perry beats Jackson’s record

Katy Perry has become the first woman to have five number one singles from the same album on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and in doing so has matched Michael Jackson’s record of having the same. The singer’s latest release ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)’ made history as it became her fifth single from platinum record ‘Teenage Dream’ to reach the top spot, following the success of ‘California Gurls’, ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘Firework’ and ‘E.T’. The 26-year-old star took to her micro-blogging account to announce the news saying, “What a way to wake up! So proud to announce that the little-engine-that-could of a song ‘LAST FRIDAY NIGHT’ is officially #1 & made history!” She then praised her fans for helping her become the first woman to achieve the feat. “I couldn’t have done it without ya, really I owe u guys BIG… so take this moment to give yourself a high FIVE!” The record was last achieved by Michael when his 10-track album ‘Bad’ featured five number one singles ‘I Just Can’t Stop Loving You’, ‘Bad’, ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’, ‘Man in the Mirror’ and ‘Dirty Diana’ between 1987 and 1988 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
