KATY PERRY SCORES SECOND #1 HIT IN AMERICA

Katy Perry logs the fastest No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by an artist signed to Capitol Records in nearly 43 years, as "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, rises 2-1 in its fourth week on the chart.

 

The song makes the quickest sprint to the summit by a Capitol single since Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe" likewise reached the top spot in four weeks on the chart dated Aug. 26, 1967. Five months before Gentry, the Beatles' "Penny Lane" had also zipped to No. 1 in four frames.

 

Perry's hit crowns the chart thanks in part to its selling 318,000 downloads (up 18%) in the chart's tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The cut leads Digital Songs for a third week. On Radio Songs, "California Gurls" jumps 10-6 (89.2 million in audience, up 25%, according to Nielsen BDS).

 

"California Gurls" is Perry's second Hot 100 No. 1. "I Kissed a Girl" led for seven weeks beginning in July 2008. Snoop Dogg collects his third leader on the list, following his own "Drop It Like It's Hot" in 2004 and Akon's "I Wanna Love You," on which he guested, in 2006.

 

 

Quoting this since it's at the bottom of the last page and is AMAZING news. Hopefully it can stay at #1 for a couple weeks. I think it can manage atleast 2 or 3 with the video about to come out and the buzz from the album!

Could someone please send me the Snoop Dog free version of California Gurls? Cannot for the life of me find it anywhere! :(

When is the video coming out

 

It's meant to be out today. I can't wait for it, I love the song. The video sounds like it could be one of the best of the year. Apparently, Katy goes nude on a bed of candyfloss, so that should be interesting!

OMG, IT'S SO AMAZING, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. There's so many amazing bits, and comical bits, and sexy bits, and I need to calm down, but it's so much better than I ever imagined it to be.

Great video! Her best video after 'Hot N Cold'. :D

'Hot 'n' Cold' was the best video of 2008 and this doesn't quite beat that.

It's so good! :w00t: love the dancing scene.

Definitely her best video yet. ^_^

IMO, it's all about being flipped off by a jelly baby.

What a great video. Katy nude. :wub:

Haha this is so cute and funny.

Not what I was expecting at all. I was imagining a summery video with a beach and car with its roof down, but this doesn't dissapoint.

And i agree that the best bit is when the gummy bear flips her off. classic :D
