UK Charts: Katy Perry & Rihanna Rebound

Last week saw Pop staple Katy Perry take to the X Factor UK stage to perform her latest single ‘The One That Got Away‘.

Now, as a direct result from the performance, her album ‘Teenage Dream‘ has surged back into the top ten of the UK album chart this week while her close friend Rihanna enjoys a top 15 position with her LP ‘Loud‘.

More information below…

Despite being the lead track on her upcoming album ‘Talk That Talk‘ , her #1 single ‘We Found Love‘ appears to have boosted sales of the LP ‘Loud‘ which now resides at #12.

Four spots above is Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream‘ which has now spent a total of 60 weeks in the chart in which Bruno Mars‘ ‘Doo Wops &  Hooligans‘ LP currently holds the #9 position.

Meanwhile, Adele continued her commercial supremacy in the market this week with both of her albums enjoying impressive chart ground. ’21‘ being this weeks #4 and ‘19′ being this weeks #11.

Unfortunately for Jason Derulo, his latest effort ‘Future History‘ resides at #28, despite being released in the country two weeks ago.

    errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm

    there is one superstar whose album sales and positions u are not talkin about TGJ
    are u forgettin bout her or u just dont wanna embarrass her????????

  2. Survivor October 23, 2011

    Congrats Rihanna! And that with the aid of no promotion for that song?? B**** is slaying! She doesn’t have any shows in England until mid-November, so the sales will most likely not increase..

    Congrats to Katy and Adele and Bruno as well!

  3. bmore love October 23, 2011

    U didnt care to mention that We Found Love is number 1 for its 3rd week. Yellow diamonds in the light : )

  4. xd October 23, 2011

    Why didn’t you mention WFL is #1 again ??!! (3rd week at #1) HAHAHHA

    B****

  5. Those That Cannot Do, Stan October 23, 2011

    Congrats to all the people mentioned.

    The above comments are why you might want to try actually being unbiased Sam.

    Now you don’t/can’t even mention your fave’s position because you publicly showed your self esteem is wrapped up in her work meanwhile the singer you despise is doing quite well.

  6. RIHHI5 October 23, 2011

  10. JohnVidal October 23, 2011

    Hmm I´m just coming from a talented artist post (Bruno Mars) and then here we are again talking about the crap (Rihanna and Katy). It´s so exasperating. Can Adele and some other talented girls and boys please bury the crap for good? Charts nowadays are too often sad

  11. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    Slaying effortlessly
    No promo and yet WFL is already the 3rd biggest hit of the year in the UK.

    LMAO

    Ican’t at the UK stanning so hard for my girl.

    Adele better watch out cus WFL is comin for Someone Like You’s 5 weeks at #1.
    We all remember how Umbrella destroyed everybody when she pulled a record 10 weeks at #1 in the UK charts.

    Rihanna= the ruling queen of pop = Black Madonna

  12. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    And we’re still waiting for the post announcing WFL is #1 on US tunes. It s been a few days now.
    Lord knows when Gaga & Britney did. U posted all about it. (And they rightfully deserved it).

    But I guess, that was back when u though some other chick was gonna be able to do the same thing. I guess now u re just embarrassed.

  13. BC October 23, 2011

    cus Gaga Adele and Beyonce r the most talented so they deserve more and thats why they sell more.
    they also (gaga and bey) have the bigger stan bases and more haters

  14. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    Beyonce sells more ?????????????????

    LMAO!
    SELL MORE WHAT? Prosthetic baby bumps? Cus it sure ain t her album or her 6 singles/videos.

    Plus, Sam didn’t post about Beyonce’s songs hitting #1 on itunes…. CUZ THEY DIDN’T.
    LMAO!

    Funny cus last time I checked Loud was crushing 4closure in the US, in the UK and damn ner every country in the world.
    Loud has sold over 5Million copies.
    4closure is about to drop off the world charts this week or next with barely 1.8 Million sold.

    Even Rated R made it to 2.5 Million.

    Just say NO to drugs honey!

  29. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    Is 4closure still in charting in the UK?
    I know it is 1 or 2 weeks awy from dropping of mediatraffic…..w/o even reaching 2 Million. lol

    I guess Beyonce is right to just give up, drop 6 singles/videos within the 1st 4 month of the album release and just go to retirement where she belongs.

  30. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    I think BC is desperate to start a stan war just to make herself/himself feel like Beyonce still belongs on the A-List alongside Gaga, Katy & Rihanna.
    Truth is Beyonce done fell off. Her peers are now Keri Hilson, Ashanti & other lessors.
    So I won t even disrespect Rihanna by letting some has-been associate with her.

    Look for attention all u want BC, but stay in your lane… the slow one (alongside the other basics)

  31. BC October 23, 2011

    TRUTHTELLER
    how long has load been out? way longer than 4. plz just go away. u r making ur self look dumb. and 4 is doing better than load at this point btw

  32. BC October 23, 2011

    why is ur #1 focus on Beyonce anyway. tall about rihanna

  33. Yellow Gorillah October 23, 2011

    The fact that BOTH of these albums came out in 2010!!!!!

    And are still charting while some people favs are not even in the top 20

    LOOOOL

    Where is Beyonce????
    Where is Gaga??
    Where is KELLY ROWLAND LOOOOOOOOOOOL I just can’t. They Throw all this shade but the reality is that they are just angry at the success of Queen Rihanna!!

    TALK THAT TALK Coming soon… *Rihanna will outsell a certain king in album sales by next year* #OOPS!!

  34. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    TTT will sale over 2 Million albums within 5 weeks

  35. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    BC
    Stop making stupid excuses.
    Loud sold 2 Million less than 2 months, 3 Million in less than 3 months & 4million in 4 months.

    There is no excuse why 4closure is struggling to reach 2 Million after 4 months…. except that it is a HUGE FLOP.

    And please, why are u acting as if it a gonna have some legs when it s ALREADY about to drop off the ww charts. LMAO!

    U tried tho’.

  36. BC October 23, 2011

    why is load not multi platinum is US?
    3 payola #1s and under performing sales

  37. TruthTeller October 23, 2011

    Cus Rihanna ain’t a local star like Beyawnce.
    WORLDWIDE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> USA

  38. LTM October 23, 2011

    @BC
    even if 4 was released the same day as LOUD it wouldnt reach 5.1million world wide. Beyonce has nothing to prove anymore, so IDK why stans continue to get in thes silly arguements. yes, 4 is not selling good. It will be lucky to reach 2million world wide. but who cares? Beyonce’s status is already secured.

    back to the article, congrats to my two faves!! Rihanna and Katy seriously need to stop beating around the bush and make that collabo happen already.

  39. LTM October 23, 2011

    and we all know Rihanna is most popular in the U.K. she has the most success there

  40. Jamir21: I LOVE BEYONCE, BRITNEY, RIHANNA, MARIAH, AND NICKI ! October 23, 2011

    @ ltm
    if rihanna make a collaboration with katy….then i will no longer be a fan of rihanna !

  41. Jamir21: I LOVE BEYONCE, BRITNEY, RIHANNA, MARIAH, AND NICKI ! October 23, 2011

    Beyonce and Rihanna are both INTERNATIONALLY KNOW STARS !
    Katy is the one that`s local….I bet you go to Egypt and say Katy Perry is coming they would probably say who ?

  42. Theman October 24, 2011

    Congrats to all of them. The thing with Beyonce stans is some of them come off as hypocrites, They’ll say well Beyonce doesn’t have anything to prove, when she’s not selling like she’s supposed to. But if her album sales were robust and her songs were smashes they’d be singing a whole nother tune.

  43. Lax October 24, 2011

    Less talk about Singles a little bit then:
    http:www.mediatraffic.de/alltime-track-chart.htm

    Good for these two BFF Call their music what ever you want
    to there or still people who loves it and theres proof that
    they or selling, and its neither here nor there about if rihanna

    lot more since she has some impressive numbers that can be tallied and
    put into her platium selling albums basket.

  45. Lax October 24, 2011

    While i pass the collection plate,,,,,Amen

  46. T. October 24, 2011

    Some of you Rih stans are just way too much! Sam mentioned that WFL is a no.1 single in this article!!!!! What omission are you talking about???? And why include Beyonce when the article is on Rih and Katy REBOUNDING???? Is Beyonce rebounding aswel???? NO!!!! SO WHY INCLUDE HER???

  47. T. October 24, 2011

    Congrats to Rih though! Loud has been a major success!! Looks like talk that talk is also heading in that direction. Hope this time around she put more self effort into the album though so she can get more out of it.

  48. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) October 24, 2011

    congratulation KATY

  49. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) October 24, 2011

    @JAMIR21:

    I’m from Egypt , and trust me they like her here.

    especially with songs like ” California gurls” , ” hot ‘n’ cold” and the amazing ” FIREWORK”.

    but tbh , in my country , now in 2011 : “POPULARITY WISE”

    ADELE > Britney spears > Rihanna > jennifer lopez > GAGA > beyonce > Katy > ke$ha

  50. truthbtold23 October 24, 2011

    I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN UNBIASED PUBLICATION UNTIL I NOTICED THE BLATANT OMISSION OF RIHANNA,S PHOTO ESPECIALLY AS SHE SLAYIN’ RIGHT NOW. If it is true then its GON b a long wait for yr favoured fakeyonce to hit the spot again. Accept facts – its king RiRi,s crown now. Globally loved as opposed to local!
