Katy Perry's biggest songs and albums revealed
08 February 2017 | By Rob Copsey All the hits. Officially ranked. It's almost nine years since Katy Perry scored her big breakthrough with I Kissed A Girl, a controversial (well, at the time, bless), worldwide-smashing debut that set her off on what has so far been a stellar, banger-packed pop career. Since then, she's become pretty dependable for a chart smash, landing 20 Top 40 singles in the UK (including four Number 1s) and a pair of chart-topping albums. To celebrate her long-awaited return (seriously, it's been more than three years since her last album), Official Charts reveals Katy's biggest hits in the UK. Before we get to the lists, let's take a look at the numbers behind some notable entries... Roar When it comes to overall sales, it's Roar that finishes top of the pile in the UK. Coming off the back of her hugely successful Teenage Dream album, anticipation for the lead single from her third full-length Prism was sky high, and the track shifted a not-too-shabby 179,500 in its opening week in September 2013. It's one of Katy's two million-selling singles (more on the other one later), with sales to date of 1.1 million. It's also her second most streamed track, with just over 27 million plays across all services. Dark Horse KP's foray into trap takes the honour of being her most streamed song with 32.5 million plays to date in the UK. Dark Horse was originally put out as pre-album release 'promotional track' (i.e not a proper single) in September 2013 but was given the single treatment in early 2014, where it eventually peaked at Number 4. Interestingly, Dark Horse is only her seventh biggest song when looking at pure sales, having sold 591,000 to date. I Kissed A Girl Katy's debut single proper was a worldwide smash back in the summer of 2008. The track reached Number 1 on its second week of release in the UK and hit the summit in another 17 countries. I Kissed A Girl is the singer's fifth best-seller (706,000 sales) and her 11th most-streamed (7.1 million plays). It's worth remembering it was released six years before we started counting streams in the charts. Firework This self-empowerment-anthem-to-end-all-self-empowerment-anthems was the third single from Katy's Teenage Dream album. Surprisingly, it didn't reach Number 1 in the UK, peaking at Number 3 in November 2010 (it was held off the top spot by Rihanna's Only Girl (In The World) and Take That's The Flood, amazing). Thanks in part to its use as a soundtrack to anything inspirational since, Firework does lay claim to being Katy's longest-running hit on the Official Chart, racking up 68 weeks in the Top 100. It's also her second best-seller, second million seller (1.08 million) and third most streamed song, with 15.2 million plays. If We Ever Meet Again Special mention goes to Katy's often-forgotten-but-still-a-bop collaboration with Timbaland, released in 2010. The track peaked at Number 3 on the Official Singles Chart and is her 11th biggest song based on pure sales (434,000). Albums Of her three studio albums, Katy's most recent release Prism finishes in third (433,00). Interesting, given that some of her most successful singles have come from that album. Her 2008 debut One of the Boys is her second biggest album (697,000) despite peaking at Number 11, and - you guessed it - Teenage Dream finishes on top with a not-too-shabby 1.3 million. For Katy die-hards, yes that does include the Complete Confection reissue. Unbelievably, the record spent just a single week at Number 1. Madness! Below are Katy Perry's Official Top 20 best-selling singles in the UK (based on physical and downloads): POS TITLE ARTIST CHART PEAK 1 ROAR KATY PERRY 1 2 FIREWORK KATY PERRY 3 3 CALIFORNIA GURLS KATY PERRY FT SNOOP DOGG 1 4 HOT N COLD KATY PERRY 4 5 I KISSED A GIRL KATY PERRY 1 6 STARSTRUKK 3OH3 FT KATY PERRY 3 7 DARK HORSE KATY PERRY FT JUICY J 4 8 TEENAGE DREAM KATY PERRY 2 9 ET KATY PERRY FT KANYE WEST 3 10 LAST FRIDAY NIGHT (TGIF) KATY PERRY 9 11 IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN TIMBALAND FT KATY PERRY 3 12 PART OF ME KATY PERRY 1 13 WIDE AWAKE KATY PERRY 9 14 THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY KATY PERRY 18 15 WAKING UP IN VEGAS KATY PERRY 19 16 UNCONDITIONALLY KATY PERRY 25 17 THINKING OF YOU KATY PERRY 27 18 BIRTHDAY KATY PERRY 22 19 THIS IS HOW WE DO KATY PERRY 33 20 PEACOCK KATY PERRY N/A ©2017 Official Charts Company.

Whoa, the Teenage Dream era had so many great hits, good to see "Firework" over 1.2 million despite it not reaching No. 1, "Teenage Dream" and "E.T." should have sold more than "Dark Horse" though.
Also I wish the OCC would make up their mind if an artist biggest selling songs include streaming (100:1 ratio) or just purchased sales, the OCC being inconsistent as ever, |

Katy Perry's biggest songs and albums revealed
16 May 2017 | By Rob Copsey All the hits, officially ranked by sales. It's almost nine years since Katy Perry scored her big breakthrough with I Kissed A Girl, a controversial (at the time anyway, bless), worldwide-smashing debut that set her off on what has so far been a stellar, banger-packed pop career. Since then, she's become pretty dependable for a chart smash, landing 20 Top 40 singles in the UK including four Number 1s, as well as a pair of chart-topping albums. To date, Katy has sold just shy of 10 million tracks and notched up a whopping 275 million streams across her catalogue. With her fourth album Witness due for release on June 9, Official Charts has delved into the numbers to reveal Katy's biggest hits in the UK. Before we get to the big reveal, let's take a look at some notable entries... Roar When it comes to overall sales, it's Roar that finishes top of the pile in the UK. Coming off the back of her hugely successful Teenage Dream album, anticipation for the lead single from her third full-length Prism was sky high, and the track shifted a not-too-shabby 179,500 in its opening week in September 2013. It's one of Katy's two million-selling singles (more on the other one later), with sales to date of 1.1 million. It's also her second most streamed track, with just over 30.4 million plays across all services. Dark Horse KP's foray into trap takes the honour of being her most streamed song with 37.3 million plays to date in the UK. Dark Horse was originally put out as pre-album release 'promotional track' (i.e not a proper single) in September 2013 but was given the single treatment in early 2014, where it eventually peaked at Number 4. Interestingly, Dark Horse is only her seventh biggest song when looking at pure sales, having sold 593,000 to date. I Kissed A Girl Katy's debut single proper was a worldwide smash back in the summer of 2008. The track reached Number 1 on its second week of release in the UK and hit the summit in another 17 countries. I Kissed A Girl is the singer's fifth best-seller (707,000 sales) and her 12th most-streamed (8.5 million plays). It's worth remembering it was released six years before we started counting streams in the charts. Firework This self-empowerment-anthem-to-end-all-self-empowerment-anthems was the third single from Katy's Teenage Dream album. Surprisingly, it didn't reach Number 1 in the UK, peaking at Number 3 in November 2010 (it was held off the top spot by Rihanna's Only Girl (In The World) and Take That's The Flood, amazing). Thanks in part to its use as a soundtrack to anything inspirational since, Firework does lay claim to being Katy's longest-running hit on the Official Chart, racking up 68 weeks in the Top 100. It's also her second best-seller, second million seller (1.08 million) and fourth most streamed song, with 17.5 million plays. Chained To The Rhythm Chained... is Katy's first proper single of the streaming era, and it's safe to say she's managed the transition well. Released in February, the song has already notched up 28 million plays across all services in the UK to become her third most streamed track. If We Ever Meet Again Special mention goes to Katy's often-forgotten-but-still-a-bop collaboration with Timbaland, released in 2010. The track peaked at Number 3 on the Official Singles Chart and is her 11th biggest song based on pure sales (434,000).

It still irritates me that they can't combine these so we can see them ranked by "official" sales. Having Chained not in her top 20 "sellers" just isn't realistic

Having Chained not in her top 20 "sellers" just isn't realistic So even an album track from Teenage Dream has more pure sales? I'd have thought 'Chained To The Rhythm' must have at least done in excess of 100k pure sales wise. |

It probably has, they just didn't include it. It's reached silver status overall, hasn't it?

The fact that Chained To The Rhythm isn't higher than non-charting Peacock is actually shocking.
