Katy Perry becomes the first woman, and second artist overall following Michael Jackson, in the 53-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 to send five songs from an album to No. 1, as "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" becomes the fifth chart leader from her Capitol Records set "Teenage Dream."

The historic Hot 100 coronation follows the album's prior No. 1s "California Gurls" (featuring Snoop Dogg), the lead single from "Teenage Dream,"; the title cut; "Firework"; and, "E.T." (featuring Kanye West). The set bowed atop the Billboard 200 album chart dated Sept. 11, 2010, and has sold 1.7 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

While Perry is the first woman to achieve the honor, she is the second artist to manage the feat after Jackson. The late King of Pop sent five songs to No. 1 on the Hot 100 from "Bad" in 1987-88: "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (with Siedah Garrett); the title track; "The Way You Make Me Feel"; "Man in the Mirror"; and, "Dirty Diana."

Jackson notched his quintet of No. 1s from "Bad" over nine months and two weeks. Perry's five toppers from "Dream" spans one year, two months and one week, dating to the first week at No. 1 for "Gurls" on the Hot 100 dated June 19, 2010. (The newest Hot 100 is dated Aug. 27, 2011).

While Jackson earned the achievement more quickly, Perry has spent more time atop the Hot 100 in each artist's respective commanding stretch: Jackson's five No. 1s from "Bad" totaled a combined seven weeks in charge. With the first week on top for "Friday," Perry is up to 18 total weeks at No. 1 with her No. 1s from "Dream."

Following "Gurls," which reigned atop the Hot 100 for six weeks, the title song from "Dream" began a two-week command on the chart dated Sept. 18, 2010. "Firework" spent four weeks at No. 1 beginning Dec. 18, 2010, and "E.T." landed at the apex for five weeks starting April 9, 2011.

Perry's streak of five Hot 100 No. 1 singles promoted to radio is the most by a lead artist since Mariah Carey scored a similar run in 1990-91. Whitney Houston holds the chart record with seven consecutive leaders in 1985-88.

"Friday" takes over the Hot 100 summit by spending a second week atop Radio Songs, registering 148 million in all-format audience (up 1%), according to Nielsen BDS. The song rebounds 5-4 on Digital Songs with 156,000 downloads sold (up 14%), according to SoundScan.

Katy's 'Last Friday' Remix Featuring Missy Elliott: Listen

Capitol last week released a remix of "Friday" featuring Missy Elliott. The remix accounted for 25% of the song's overall digital sales in the Aug. 8-14 sales tracking week. All versions of the song were discounted to 69 cents at the iTunes and Amazon mp3 stores in that span.

"Friday" spent two weeks at No. 1 on Digital Songs in early July following the premiere of its eight-minute-plus video which features cameos from the likes of musicians Rebecca Black, Kenny G, Debbie Gibson and Hanson and actors Corey Feldman, Darren Criss and Kevin McHale, the latter two of whom star in Fox's "Glee." The clip has registered 80 million views on YouTube.

Perry ascends to Hot 100 history by displacing LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, after the song spent six weeks at No. 1. The track dips to No. 2, slipping 1-2 on Digital Songs (160,000, down 13%) and holding at No. 2 on Radio Songs (142 million, down 3%).

At No. 3 on the Hot 100, Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, bounds up five places with dual Digital and Airplay Gainer awards. "Jagger" swaggers 2-1 on Digital Songs (219,000, up 38%) and 32-18 on Radio Songs (47 million, 37%) following the premiere of its video Aug. 8.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10 are Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" (3-4); Bad Meets Evil's "Lighters," featuring Bruno Mars (5-5); Lil Wayne's "How to Love" (6-6); Pitbull's "Give Me Everything," featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer (4-7); Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" (13-8) (the chart's sole title making its first top 10 appearance; it led Alternative Songs for five weeks beginning in June); Britney Spears' "I Wanna Go" (7-9); and, OneRepublic's former No. 8-peaking "Good Life" (11-10).

All charts, including the Hot 100, Digital Songs and Radio Songs will be refreshed tomorrow (Aug. 18) on Billboard.com.

Good for her

Good for her I guess. I have yet to hear the song.

Looking over the list of current "hits," I can honestly say I have never heard any of these songs, including Kate Perry's current "smash." LMFAO had a number 1 hit for six weeks? I've never heard it. And some of those fools live down the street from me. I know this because they have a "party van," with the legend; LMFAO Party Van, in graffiti tags, that zips their party asses around town I guess. I only see it parked outside their house in the mornings.

Besides radio, which I thought was on the decline, where are these songs played?

New King Of Pop?

Interesting.........I've NEVER heard a song by this woman.

How could you have not? Especially Teenage Dream, Cali Girls, I Kissed A Girl and TGIF...

To be honest, if you go on living your life and ignore mainstream music and the radio, it's actually really easy.

I still don't understand how they're including ET with this, when it's not even on the album.

Easy on the eyes, off-key and formulaic best describe her as an artist. One would hope that this is the only time her name and Michael's will be mentioned in the same sentence.

Ok i dislike her music with a passion. But i get why singles firework, teenage dream etc where number 1 i hate them.. but yes there very catchy. last Friday Night isn't that catchy to me , the chorus is eh i remember i have been to the club twice and they played this song....... and people botht imes just kind of stood around lol. But firework get's em going crazy

LMFAO was number 1 for 6 week's though? my lawd lol

Katy Perry is not the new anything. She's just annoying.

N the scary thing is that album has more hits on it.

MJ won't hold the records forever i'm sure... records are meant to be broken. And i'm positive someday someone will have 6 or even 7 hell 8 number 1's from an album. Someone will have 8 top hits, some album may sell as much as Thriller. We are not psychic and don't know what's going to happen... but records are meant to be broken we have to accept it, and besides records are just records... not a companion to how amazing an artists is or not so who gives a fuck

I've got nothing but congratulations for this accomplishment. Whether I'm a big fan or not (I'm not) is not the issue, whether last minute gimmicks were used is not the issue....her label has handled this era flawlessly. FLAWLESSLY.

I really don't see her pulling off a 6th #1 but I have a feeling Janet's record will be either tied or broke once Katy's era is all over and done with too. (7 top five singles off of one album)

YOU IN DANGER DAMITA JO.

Honey, do I looked worried?

Not to take anything away from Katy but have you seen the competition on billboard these days? LOL in the 80's and 70's and even 60's you had much stiffer competition on the top 40.

Now as there are so few actual record companies left, they push and push the few artists they have to satuation point. Of course companies have always done this, but now theres fewer stars then ever now it seems to break out (cuts in new artists I presume doesn't help either).

Even as recent as the late 80's you had breakout stars on smaller labels like Virgin, SBK, A&M, Capitol. All of them are gone. And thus less artists to compete with making it easier for the very few left to market....

...Theres much more to it then that, but the lack of smaller record companies actually finding new talent, meaning lack of competition certainly makes it easier for the very few that do make it, to make it BIG!

Anyway I hate stats (or at least bragging about stats) but good for her. Though that "ET" song was crap LOL.

LMAO Some of you hardcore MJ stans really need to stop.

^jesus christ??!??! Buy party anthem????

Maybe the MTV generation loves her, I sure can't stand her........ yuck.

Katy Perry and her "music" = product......

Records were meant to be broken...Katy's accomplishment is great, and I"m happy for her.

But to say she's the "new King Of Pop"....brotha, put the joint down.

Michael is Michael. He is EXCEPTIONAL. No one will ever replace him or manage to recreate the wonder and the magic he gave us when he was alive, and the memories and happiness we all feel when we reminisce about him. AGAIN, Michael shall never be replaced, nor forgotten. He'll always be one of the brightest stars in the sky.

One consolation for the hard-core among us...no one will EVER beat the Thriller record sale. Not now, with the age of iTunes, and downloading (i.e stealing music). That will always be untouchable...

Edit: Just another observation, she didn't beat the record..she matched it. So hey, great job, Ms. Perry.

[Edited 8/17/11 19:00pm]

She's as good as Michael. Maybe BETTER! This seals it.

These MJ fans get scarier everyday , one person bought party rock anthem 20 times..... o.....M.....G

I have a feeling if someone beats his record MJ fans would give the artists death threats0-0
