Posted November 8, 201113 yr http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/w...in-october.html Katy Perry this week becomes the first artist in digital history to sell 5 million or more copies of three different hits. She achieves the feat as "Firework" tops the 5 million mark. The exhilarating smash follows "Hot N Cold" (which is up to 5,044,000) and "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, which is up to 5,033,000). (All three smashes have topped the 5 million mark in just the past two months.) Three artists, the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and Flo Rida, have each had two 5-million digital sellers. (Make that four artists if you count Ke$ha, who was featured on Flo Rida's "Right Round." Billboard removed Ke$ha's credit when the smash was midway through its six-week run at #1.) Looks like E.T. will make 5 million in the next few months too!

January 7, 201213 yr Amazing. I can't believe her first five singles from her latest album have all achieved at least silver status in the UK. Surely, that must be a record here? Aren't they all at least Gold now? California Gurls has passed 700K Teenage Dream has passed 400K Firework has passed 700K E.T has passed 400K Last Friday Night is on about 370K from 2011 BUT it had a few thousand sales from 2010 (when it was in the iTunes top 1000 for a few weeks after the album was released and charted at #101 officially). I could see The One That Got Away easily passing 300K as well. :o
