May 1, 20196 yr I'd probably have Chained a little lower, but the production, lyrics, video are so tight conceptually. And the Grammys and Brits performances of it were great. ME! wishes.

Kanye West) 277 points Released: 16th February 2011 Peak UK chart position: 3 20 members voted for this song E.T. is a song by Katy Perry from her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010). She co-wrote the song with its producers Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Ammo. "E.T." was serviced to radio stations as the album's fourth single on February 16, 2011. One version of the song features verses from American rapper Kanye West. Musically, it is an electronic and hip hop ballad which draws heavily from dubstep and techno, along with smaller amounts of drum and bass. According to Perry, the song lyrically speaks of "falling in love with a foreigner".[1] The song became Perry's fifth non-consecutive number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and also topped charts in Canada, New Zealand and Poland. To date, "E.T." has sold over six million digital downloads worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles worldwide and Perry's third highest selling song in the U.S. It was the fourth biggest song of 2011, according to Billboard. t5Sd5c4o9UM 01 Teenage Dream 298 points Released: 23rd July 2010 Peak UK chart position: 2 21 members voted for this song Teenage Dream is a song by Katy Perry. It was released as the second single from her third studio album of the same name on July 23, 2010. Perry and Bonnie McKee wrote many songs with youthful themes in mind, but they were rejected by producers Benny Blanco and Dr. Luke. Blanco showed them The Teenagers' single "Homecoming", and McKee imagined "Teenage Dream" as a throwback song to the euphoric feelings of being in love as a teenager. They met with Max Martin in Perry's hometown of Santa Barbara, California and started writing the track at Playback Recording Studio, which Perry later described as a pure moment for her. After Perry recorded her vocals, McKee presented her idea and the chorus was rewritten. Perry also described the song as reminiscent of her youth while contemplating her future marriage to Russell Brand. Musically, "Teenage Dream" is a mid-tempo pop song with a retro sound. It is styled in the genres of power pop and electropop, while taking influence from other genres such as disco and pop rock. Perry starts the song in a high-pitched voice while her vocals grow stronger as the song progresses. Lyrically, "Teenage Dream" discusses being with a lover who makes one feel young again. The song has topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Perry's third number-one single on that chart, and her second consecutive number-one single after "California Gurls". "Teenage Dream" has been certified seven times platinum in the United States, as well as receiving platinum and multi-platinum certifications in other countries. 98WtmW-lfeE
May 2, 20196 yr Yesss for that winner. :wub: It's definitely emerged as her absolute best over time for me. A perfect pop song. 'Hot N Cold' probably has one of my favourite pop videos of this century for sure.
May 4, 20196 yr Although I didn’t vote, it was very nice to ‘Teenage Dream’ as number 1. It would have been nicer to see ‘Wide Awake’ a little higher.
May 11, 20196 yr "Hot N Cold" will always be my fave Katy song but "Teenage Dream" is an absolute bop so I can't complain!
