It's great to see 'Wide Awake' selling nearly as much as 'Part Of Me' despite only charting at #9. Love 'Wide Awake' :wub:

That's my favourite single of hers, too! It's always refreshing to her hear singing a ballad after her most successful singles have been bubblegum-pop. The video is up there with "The One That Got Away"'s, for me, as well.

 

I'm shocked that I'm not the only one :P

Teenage Dream falls from #44 to #101 this week! :o

Thanks for this :D When did "Hot N Cold" catch up to "I Kissed a Girl" though?! :o

From the OCC Website:

 

To mark five years since I Kissed A Girl hit Number 1, we count down Katy’s biggest sellers on the Official Singles Chart.

 

She kissed a girl and she liked it, and we loved her! It’s hard to believe its five years since Katy Perry’s breakthrough hit I Kissed A Girl smashed its way to the top of the Official Singles Chart. The controversial lusty love letter to lip balm managed to stay at Number 1 for five weeks, setting the tone for a stellar career that would see Katy Perry a regular fixture on the charts – and in the tabloids.

 

But which KP classic is the biggest of them all? Katy has appeared on 14 Official Singles Chart Top 40 hits, and she’s reached the summit three times. Her chart-toppers are the afore-mentioned I Kissed A Girl, 2010’s California Gurls and Part Of Me from 2012. Did any of those manage to be her top-seller?

 

Well the answer to that is, um, no. Katy’s biggest selling single didn’t make it to Number 1 at all, despite being a karaoke staple and the empowering anthem for anyone who’s felt rather less than sparkling. Katy Perry’s top selling single in the UK is the mighty Firework, which may have only fizzed its way to Number 3 in October 2010, but has shined brighter than all Katy’s other hits in the long run.

 

The sparky track has sold almost 955,000 copies in the UK since its release three years ago, and is way ahead of the hit that comes in second – California Gurls, the lead single for the Teenage Dream album, itself a Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart.

 

That unforgettable debut I Kissed A Girl has to settle for fourth place with 676,000 copies, just behind its follow-up single Hot N Cold. Only 400 copies separate them – can I Kissed A Girl smooch its way past to make it into the Top 3?

 

Katy’s collaboration with Colorado electropoppers 3OH!3 also did pretty well for Katy. Starstrukk is her most successful track as a featured artist, shifting 580,000 units and coming in at 5 on her list of big sellers. Another featured track makes the Top 10, with the Timbaland collaboration If We Meet Again selling 412,000 to make it to 9.

 

Big Katy tracks that just miss her Top 10 sellers include Wide Awake at 11 – it reached Number 9 in April 2012 and has sold 325,000 copies. Just behind it is the boohoo-worthy The One That Got Away, which is almost at the 325K mark.

 

Firework’s sales tally just goes to show that it’s not always the Number 1s that are the biggest songs. All eyes are now on the track to see whether it will pass the 1 million mark. Will Firework be Katy Perry’s ticket into the Million Sellers’ Club? And when? Keep your eyes on the prize – right here, in other words – for all the latest updates.

 

Meanwhile, Katy’s ready to add some more hits to her list – her brand new single Roar is out 8 September. Can it be her fourth chart-topper?

Annoying that they've not told us which has sold more out of "Thinking Of You" and "Waking Up In Vegas" or sales for the other songs (although they never do :lol:)!

With the regular and Complete Confection versions of Teenage Dream spinning-off eight hits - seven of them Top 10 - that album has sold 1,171,340 copies to date, while One Of The Boys has sold 674,588 copies. Teenage Dreams bolts 125-36 (2,836 sales) this week.

 

Roar - the only single yet lifted from Prism - became Perry's fourth UK number one single seven weeks ago, and has since become her eighth single to sell upwards of 500,000 copies in the UK (seven as a primary artist, plus 3OH!3 collab. Starstrukk). Rallying 6-4 this week, Roar sold a further 50,464 copies to raise its career tally to 595,941. Ahead of it in Perry's personal best-sellers list are only Firework (966,956 sales), California Gurls (feat. Snoop Dogg, 780,787 sales), Hot N Cold (680,494 sales) and I Kissed A Girl (678,933 sales). Five other songs from Prism are in the Top 200 - Unconditionally (number 60, 3,764 sales), Dark Horse (feat. Juicy J, 100-68, 3,256 sales), Walking On Air (number 80, 2,681 sales), By The Grace Of God (number 179, 1,165 sales) and It Takes Two (number 180, 1,159 sales).
