Before she topped the charts with songs like "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls," though, she spent the better part of a decade recording music under a different name. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (or Katy Hudson, as she billed herself on her 2001 gospel album) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Raised in a religious household as the daughter of two pastors, she was forbidden to listen to secular bands as a child, although a childhood slumber party introduced her to the music of Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under her original name. She would later abandon the genre (and her given surname) in favor of a pop career. At age 17, she began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written Alanis Morissette's chart-topping Jagged Little Pill in 1995. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record an album of their own, with Perry serving as one of the group's two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as "the Next Big Thing!" With the Matrix's unreleased album sitting in the vaults at Sony Records, Perry went back to the drawing board and began working on a solo album for Columbia. The project was eventually canceled, although two of its songs were later given to Kelly Clarkson, who scored a Top 40 hit with "I Do Not Hook Up" several years later. Perry (who, by this point, had shed her original surname due to its similarity to actress Kate Hudson) then signed with Capitol, who encouraged their new client to write her own music and helped establish her image as a boisterous, tongue-in-cheek pop star. Perry's debut single, "UR So Gay," generated a small buzz with its mischievous lyrics and clever music video, but it was "I Kissed a Girl" that proved to be her breakthrough hit, topping the charts in 20 countries and pushing its accompanying album, 2008's One of the Boys, into the Top Ten in America. Perry supported her debut by joining the Warped Tour that summer, where she toured alongside her boyfriend at the time, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Meanwhile, "Hot N Cold" became her second multi-platinum hit, "Thinking of You" (one of the album's three songs written solely by Perry) cracked the Top 40, and "Waking Up in Vegas" cracked the Top Ten. Such success meant that Katy Perry had officially become one of the industry's biggest pop stars, celebrated as much for her outsized behavior and outrageous fashion choices as the music itself. She continued touring through the summer of 2009 (albeit without McCoy, whose boyfriend status had been revoked earlier that year) and found time to tape an installment of MTV Unplugged, which was released in November. Meanwhile, she worked on a new album and started up a whirlwind romance with comedian Russell Brand, eventually becoming his fiancé. Recording sessions for her album wrapped up in early 2010, and Perry scored her second number one single with "California Gurls," which was released that May. The accompanying album, Teenage Dream, followed in August. The album would be reissued in 2012 as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, with the bonus track "Wide Awake" earning Perry a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Katy Perry 2008 01 I Kissed A Girl -1- 2008 04 Hot N Cold -2- 2009 27 Thinking Of You -3- 2009 19 Waking Up In Vegas -4- 2009 03 Starstrukk (3OH!3 Feat.

April 27, 201412 yr I'm so surprised that Dark Horse still isn't sounding stale for me, but it's always a pleasure to listen to. :wub: I hope Birthday does well for her, the video is quite something. :lol:
April 27, 201412 yr It's sales will still be down by over 60% from last week even if it holds at No2, with a huge drop coming next week! I'm not entirely sure we can say what's gonna happen next week yet :lol: I'm not sure I can see it freefalling next week anyway but who knows at this stage. I'm not entirely sure what your point is here, cause my point was that it's still a non-mover regardless of its sales?
April 27, 201412 yr So you're bashing them for remaining at number 2 and had they dropped you would've bashed them anyway... nice logic I'm not bashing them at all (I actually like them aside from 'Wild Heart'), I'm just pointing out how weak Joseph's defences are (as always). :P I'm not sure why he always feels the need to defend boybands being frontloaded, which they almost always are by nature and it's not really a big deal. They're still making a shit ton of money.

April 27, 201412 yr The best part of this Katy Perry song for me has to be the rap For me, it's the fantastically big final chorus :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
April 27, 201412 yr I wish I Got U was holding up a little better. Anyway, it instantly puts me in a summery mood, love it. :wub:
April 27, 201412 yr (35) Justin Timberlake-Not A Bad Thing This tune is currently in the top 5 here in the US, but the video for this song is awful and oh by the way. No Justin Timberlake in it.
April 27, 201412 yr Doesn't really deserve the drop, I wonder if it'll stick around for summer as it is very summery
April 27, 201412 yr Why has I Got U suddenly dropped so much? http://smileys.emoticonsonly.com/emoticons/b/broken_heart-2671.gif Hopefully it stabilises again.
