So much for “I Kissed a Girl” making her a one-hit wonder.
Katy Perry and Michael Jackson may not have much in common, but they’re the only artists in music history to post five #1 hits from the same album.
Perry is therefore, obviously, the first woman ever to achieve the feat thanks to hits from Teenage Dream. “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” is now the fifth.
Interestingly, Michael’s iconic album Thriller didn’t achieve the feat, but its follow-up Bad, with hits like “Man in the Mirror” and “Smooth Criminal,” did.
Jackson spent a total of seven weeks at the top with his Bad songs, while Perry has occupied the top spot now for a record cumulative 18 weeks.
