Katy Perry Makes Billboard History with 5 Number 1s in the Same Album

Katy Perry's album Teenage Dream is making a billboard record as Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) became the album's fifth song to make it to the top of the charts. And if the song gets on top of the Top 100 later this week, it will be the only album to have five (5) number ones. Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad generated much top singles but it was released before Billboard even started issuing song charts.

Before Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) reached number 1, Katy Perry was tied with Lady Gaga's The Fame and Justin Timberlake's Future Sex/Love Sounds for having four number 1 songs in a single album.

Aside from being the fifth number one in the same album, Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) is also Katy Perry's seventh (7th) number 1 overall. She's now tied with Lady Gaga for having the second most number ones. Rihanna currently holds the record with eight (8).
